What's Ahead for Walt Disney World in 2024

Everything You Need to Know for Planning Your 2024 Disney World Vacation

What's new at Walt Disney World in 2024 and what will be changing? Also, what can we expect to see that hasn't yet been announced?

New Rides and Attractions Coming to Walt Disney World in 2024

There are two new rides/attractions on the way in 2024 at Walt Disney World...and possibly a third

All three are not technically new, but rather they are overhauls of existing rides.

  • Tiana's Bayou Adventure (previously Splash Mountain)

  • The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure (previously Voyage of the Little Mermaid)

  • Still in question (currently Rock'n'Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith)

Some Old Favorites Return to Walt Disney World in 2024

The Disney Dining Plan is back at Walt Disney World in 2024. Whether it’s worth it or not will depend on your family’s eating habits (although it can make things a little more convenient if it is your first Disney World vacation). Disney World park hopping is back as well, and the Disney World Park Pass reservation system is gone…for some guests (Disney World Annual Passholders are still being penalized by Disney).

Genie+ will undergo some sort of undetermined change in order to target the disruptive 7:00 a.m. day-of booking procedure.

Beyond that, we can expect further price increases to continue and even more tweaks as Disney tries to address the fixes they made when things weren't broken.

One big question mark is still the long outstanding re-opening of 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.

Two New Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Resorts will Open at Walt Disney World in 2024

There haven’t been many brand new hotels opening at Walt Disney World in recent years, but 2024 will see two new additions to onsite availability of Disney Vacation Club rooms (which are bookable by DVC members and non-members alike).

The new tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and the newly renovated Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground are both scheduled to open in 2024.

We will update further on these as more details are announced.
