2023 & 2024 Walt Disney World Resort Calendar of Events
There are a number of news items that you may or may not have heard about for Walt Disney World. We’ve taken a look at those below.
Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park Reservations
One of the first things you’ll need to know is Walt Disney World Resort will begin phasing out the theme park reservation system in 2024. For arrivals beginning on January 9, 2024, those with dated tickets will no longer need a theme park reservation. However, Disney Parks Pass Reservation System continues to be in use for the remainder of 2023 and the first week of January 2024.
For those visiting before that change is made, theme park reservations are made online through the Walt Disney World website and availability can be checked before buying tickets or booking a vacation package. And of course, Get Away Today is happy to help with that process.Walt Disney World 2023 & 2024 Events

A-Z More Tips for Walt Disney World Resort 2023 & 2024
- Magic Kingdom Park
- EPCOT
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
- Theme park tickets, simply tap in at the gate
- Theme park reservations, linked to your ticket
- Lightning Lane and virtual queue entrances
- Restaurant reservations
- Disney Resort hotel room, tap to unlock your room
- Payment information, just tap to pay
In 2023, guests can still use older MagicBand models and their smartphones to utilize some of the features of MagicBand+.
Guests staying on property at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel have access to discounted MagicBands once their vacation package is linked to their My Disney Experience account.
In addition, Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests receive a complimentary Key to the World card at the front desk to use as their theme park tickets, room key, and form of payment. Guests not staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel will have to use physical tickets (no additional charge) or purchase a MagicBand+ to use as their tickets.
Memory Maker is one of our top recommendations! Add Memory Maker to your vacation package and receive unlimited downloads of all PhotoPass photos taken during your vacation. PhotoPass photographers are located throughout the parks in some of the most beautiful and iconic photo spots. It’s a great way to get everyone in your family in the picture. You can add Memory Maker when you book your package for just $169 for 2023. If you wait to add it, you can do so, but the price goes up to $199 if you wait until three days before your vacation begins. Park Hopping at Walt Disney World looks a little different in 2023. If you haven’t been back in a while, it’s important to know that all guests with a park hopper ticket can begin park hopping at 2:00 p.m. Park hopping tickets are still an excellent value, allowing you to visit more than one of the four theme parks on any given day. There’s no need (or even an option to make a reservation for your second theme park. In the rare case that a Theme Park reaches capacity in the afternoon, you will get a push notification on the My Disney Experience app to let you know that Park Hopping has closed at a specific theme park. In that case, you can stay in the Park you started or choose another available Theme Park. Water Parks at Walt Disney World continue to delight visitors throughout the year. Walt Disney World Resort has two water parks on property:- Disney’s Blizzard Beach
- Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
These beloved water parks also can be added to your Walt Disney World vacation with the Water Park and More tickets. Theme park reservations are not required at this time for Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.

For a November 2021 package, as long as you cancel 30 days before your vacation, anything you've paid towards your package would be fully refundable. If you cancel within that time window, portions of the package become non-refundable depending on how close to your check-in date you need to cancel.

If a 2021 package is booked for November , but ended up needing to be canceled.. what is the process there? Are refunds available or would it be a credit?

Hi Kerry, Yes - you can contact Disney and have your reservation transferred to us. Our team can help with this process at 855-GET-AWAY

I think I made a rookie mistake. I booked through the Disney website. I'm being told by friends that I could have saved money through you. My reservation is for park passes and resort only for December 2021. Can I change it too you?
