Disney4me Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Just when you think you know everything about Disney World, something changes! Let’s head on over to Toy Story Land Disney parks are constantly changing and evolving to add new attractions or restaurants like TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom and Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. So what changes are coming to Disney World in April 2023? There is a LOT going on, so let’s dig into it! TRON Lightcycle / Run Opens Are you ready? Are you excited? The time is FINALLY here! TRON Lightcycle / Run opens to the public on April 4th, 2023! TRON Lightcycle / Run opens soon! Disney fans have been waiting years and years for this coaster to open and although Annual Passholders, Cast Members, and more have had previews of the ride, anyone in the park will be able to ride. If you do want to get on the coaster, you’ll need to grab a virtual queue spot or purchase an Individual Lightning Lane — there will not be a regular standby line when it opens. TRON Lightcycle / Run by night. We got a chance to ride and learned more about the lockers that are required for most belongings you have with you, how the restraints work, and what to expect from the unique coaster. WE RODE TRON in Disney World — Here’s Everything You Need to Know! Beloved Fireworks Shows Return TRON may be on everyone’s mind in April, but right before that grand opening is a BIG return — Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever are coming back! Happily Ever After in 2021 On April 2nd, Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom and Harmonious in EPCOT will play their last performance. The next day (April 3rd), the fan-favorite Happily Ever After will return to Magic Kingdom with some new updates! EPCOT Forever will also return to EPCOT this day — this show is coming back while Disney works on a brand new nighttime spectacular for the park. EPCOT Forever Fireworks So if you want to see these old fireworks shows come back to life, visit Disney World on or after April 3rd! Park Pass Changes The Park Pass Reservation system was a controversial change when Disney introduced it after reopening in 2020. The Park Pass system is still in place today, but in April, it will see a major change! It’s gold! Starting on April 18th, Disney World Annual Passholders will be able to visit the parks after 2PM WITHOUT a Park Pass Reservation! The only exception here is that Passholders will need a Park Pass if they wish to visit Magic Kingdom on Saturdays or Sundays. 2023 Annual Passholder Magnet Passholder blockout dates will still apply, so be sure to take a look at those before showing up at a park. This will give Passholders more freedom when visiting the parks.
