Disneyland Resort recently teamed up with local nonprofit organizations to help meet overwhelming needs in the community. Over 300 families received diapers, wipes and other essential baby items at a recent drive-thru distribution event with Community Action Partnership of Orange County (CAPOC) and MOMS Orange County. With a touch of pixie dust, they also went home with plush toys donated by Disneyland Resort.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/xVjr3n2GXyk View the full article

We’ve been hanging around Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort a lot lately. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Between refurbishment going on at the monorail station, in the resort, and at the pool area, there’s been plenty to watch! And when we stopped by Barefoot Pool Bar to check out the new costumes, a Cast Member was kind enough to whip us up an off-the-menu drink. The Parrot Passion was actually a super old menu item from the 70s and 80s. Barefoot Pool Bar stopped officially serving it over 20 YEARS ago, but we got to try it again today! It’s made with amaretto, creme de banana, pineapple juice, orange juice, and a floater of cherry brandy. Then, it’s garnished with a pineapple wedge and cherry. Parrot Passion This drink REALLY made it feel like summer. It’s the perfect poolside sip! We loved the bright color and sweet taste. Parrot Passion But be warned: it’s very fruity. We could totally see people sucking these right down! If you love tropical drinks, you’ll definitely want to give this a try. Parrot Passion It costs $13.75! If you want to try it yourself, head over to Barefoot Pool Bar and ask for a Parrot Passion. Remember that it’s not on the menu — but if you ask, you should be able to get your hands on this retired drink! As always, stay tuned to DFB.

ALOHA, and welcome back to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! We were just here recently checking out some of the new cast member costumes that made their Moana-inspired debut at Capt. Cook’s and Pineapple Lanai. Capt. Cooks (This is a trend, by the way — you can click here to see LOTS of new cast member costumes that have been popping up pretty much EVERYWHERE!) And today when we stopped by for a relaxing drink at the Barefoot Pool Bar, we noticed another new costume for cast members at the Resort. You’ll find this fun pool bar serving up sips by the Lava Pool. (Yep, the big ol’ volcano!) Barefoot Pool Bar Of course, as you might anticipate, these cast member costumes are made for comfortable outdoor livin’ at the outdoor bar, with a jacket as an option for those cooler days. Barefoot Pool Bar Cast Member The bright color is in keeping with the vivid hues for the costume makeovers at the counter service dining spots, and though it has a look all its own, the brimmed hat ties both new designs together. Barefoot Pool Bar Cast Member And that’s the latest costume scoop! Oh, wait… we mentioned grabbing a drink, didn’t we? CHEERS from Barefoot Pool Bar! Yep, you’ll want to stay tuned for our review of this back-in-the-day sip coming soon!

Planning on going on a Disney Cruise that departs from or arrives back at Port Canaveral in Florida? Disney Cruise Line Previously, a lot of guests would just hop directly on a Disney bus to get from their hotel or Orlando International Airport to Port Canaveral and then start their Disney cruise adventure. With the announcement that Disney’s Magical Express will be discontinued in 2022, you might be wondering if you’ll still be able to take Disney transportation to and from the airport and Port Canaveral, or between your Disney hotel and Port Canaveral. And now we’ve got an update. Earlier today, we spoke with a Disney Cruise Line Cast Member who confirmed that while the Magical Express will be discontinued in 2022, Disney Cruise Line transportation will continue. Essentially, the Cast Member said that what’s stopping is Disney’s transportation between its hotels and Orlando International Airport. But, Disney Cruise Line transportation between the airport and Port Canaveral, as well as between the Disney hotels and Port Canaveral will continue. Disney Cruise Line Wonder Ship The Disney Cruise Line also confirms this. Specifically, it notes that “Ground transfers between Orlando International Airport and Port Canaveral are available for purchase.” Just keep in mind that Disney Cruise Line transportation between the airport and Port Canaveral are available on embarkation and debarkation days only and costs $39 per Guest. You can call (800) 951-3532 to add ground transfers in advance. This is highly recommended because a limited number of spots on this ground transportation may be available for purchase upon arrival. Disney Cruise Line Terminal You can, of course, take a different form of transportation from the airport to the Port (including a taxi or other service) if you want to privately arrange for that. If you’re planning on staying at a Disney hotel prior to your cruise, or after your cruise, transfers between your Disney hotel and Port Canaveral are also available for an additional fee. Specifically, the Disney Cruise Line website specifies that “transfers are available, for an additional fee, between the airport, hotel and cruise port.” You can call Disney Cruise Line at (800) 951-3532 for more information or to add these transfers. Transportation may include a motor coach, minibus or taxi, depending on your arrival time and party size. Disney Cruise Line Atrium So, if you need transportation directly from the airport to your Disney hotel, starting in 2022 Disney’s Magical Express will no longer be an option. You will, however, be able to use other services like taxis, rideshares, etc. But, even after Disney’s Magical Express has ended, it appears Disney Cruise Line transportation between Port Canaveral and the Airport, as well as between the Disney hotels and Port Canaveral will continue. This, of course, may be subject to change in the future. We’ll be on the lookout for any updates and let you know if we spot anything new in the future.

There are LOTS of places you could stay at during your Walt Disney World vacation. Swan Reserve Do you choose a Disney hotel? A non-Disney hotel that is on property? A Disney Springs hotel? Or something else? Yesterday, we shared the news about a new hotel that’s opening up in the nearby Flamingo Crossings Town Center. But, today we’ve got an update about a new hotel that will soon be opening just a quick walk away from EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios — The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve! The Swan Reserve is a new addition at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort which will be located right next to the existing Swan and Dolphin hotels. The hotel is from Marriott and will be 14-stories tall, and will have OVER 300 guest rooms, 149 suites, and 2 presidential suites all of which will have floor-to-ceiling windows. ©Marriott The hotel will also have a new signature Mediterranean restaurant, a grab-n-go cafe, a pool area with an elevated deck and fire pit, a state-of-the-art fitness center, lots of meeting spaces and 2 ballrooms, a business center, and more. There will also be a new exclusive rooftop space called Vue that will have some seriously incredible views of Walt Disney World Resort. The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve The resort will be a quick walk away from EPCOT, and a slightly longer walk to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Guests of the Swan Reserve will also be able to take complimentary boat transportation to both parks. AND guests of the Swan Reserve will have full access to the amenities at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin including the Mandara Spa, the pools, and special Disney benefits. The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve We’ve been keeping a close eye on all of the construction going on at the Swan Reserve. We’ve also gotten a sneak peek at the rooms, a look at the view from the top of the hotel, and more. The resort is now accepting reservations starting September 1st, 2021. When we went on the website, we did see a number of different room types available beginning September 1st, 2021. Screenshot from the Swan Reserve Website Right now, the Swan Reserve website on Marriott still states that it is opening in July of 2021. But, that appears to be older information. A recent email from the Swan and Dolphin has also confirmed that the resort is accepting reservations beginning September 1st, 2021. Swan Reserve So, if you’ve been looking for a new resort to stay at and you want to just steps away from EPCOT, this might be a great option. We’ll keep an eye out for more information about it and let you know what we find. Click here to see the view from the top of the Swan Reserve.

It’s an exciting day for Star Wars fans on the West Coast! After opening in fall 2020 in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney, Star Wars Trading Post closed just a few months later to be relocated. We’ve kept an eye on the construction and eagerly awaited its opening, and now the day is here! Star Wars Trading Post will sell Galaxy’s Edge merchandise in an Imagineer-designed building. The story? Guests are shopping in a hidden Resistance jungle base! Of course, we had to go take a look for ourselves. Entrance to Star Wars Trading Post The theming in here is really amazing — we truly felt like we were at a Rebel base! The theming is awesome! We spotted so many hidden details that Star Wars fans will love to search for, including what looks like Luke and Poe’s helmets, a temple guard mask, and a skull that looks an awful lot like General Grievous from Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It’s in the details… And the merchandise was just as cool! We spotted a TON of Star Wars plushes around, including this stinkin’ adorable Porg hiding in a tree. Plushes! And if it’s been a while since you’ve traveled to the planet Batuu, then you can pick up all your local merchandise in this shop. Mugs, blankets, hats, tees…they’ve got everything! Black Spire Outpost merchandise We also spotted a line of products specific to the Droid Depot… Droid Depot merchandise …including droid parts and droids themselves! Droids! There’s a lot of merch here that hasn’t been available since the closure, which is really exciting! And if you have been hoping to get your hands on the Paddy Frog Sipper — you’re in luck! It’s also available at the Star Wars Trading Post. Paddy Frog Sipper A little surprise hides INSIDE this sipper. Take a closer look at the Paddy Frog Sipper here. And what’s a Star Wars store without some lightsabers? Here are all the legacy lightsabers we saw on display. The lightsaber process works like it did at WonderGround. You take a number when you enter the store and Cast Members will call you up when it’s your turn. Legacy Lightsabers And if you’re a fan of the over-the-top Galaxy’s Edge Batuuan Spira gift cards, they have one here too. Batuuan Spira You can actually purchase the gift card before entering the store. When you check-in for your reservation at the ESPN shop, you can pick up a gift card, then walk over and into the trading post! Batuuan Spira And or the moment we have been waiting for…we even spotted something that fans of The Mandalorian will recognize. It’s Baby Yoda’s pram! Baby Yoda’s pram We had a great time exploring this store, and we can’t wait to come back and check out more galactic merchandise and search for more hidden details. Star Wars Trading Post Star Wars Trading Post’s old location replaced WonderGround Gallery, so we’re excited to see that shop reopen today, too! We’ll be back with more Disney news and updates, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB. Check Out What’s Reopening Soon in Downtown Disney!

Splash Mountain has been a pretty big deal recently! Splash Mountain Disney announced last year that Splash Mountain will be undergoing a BIG update, retheming it to be based on The Princess and the Frog. We know that this refurb has been fast-tracked, but we’re not sure WHEN it will kick-off! Well, we spotted what MIGHT be a hint today! Today, we spotted a building permit that Disney filed for the address coded to Splash Mountain. The permit is with Disney’s internal construction company, Buena Vista Construction Company, and is listed to “Provide labor, material, and/or electrical for construction.” Permit Screenshot Whenever Disney files a permit with BVCC, they have this description and it’s pretty vague. That could mean that this work could be pretty much anything — from work that’s starting on The Princess and the Frog refurbishment to minor and routine maintenance. Princess and the Frog attraction Concept Art ©Disney We’re inclined to think that this work doesn’t have something to do with the big refurbishment, though. At the same time, Disney filed a permit with BVCC for Pirates of the Caribbean. When permits are filed together, they are generally for similar work. So, the work could be leaning more towards the maintenance side of things. Permit Screenshot As a reminder, we haven’t heard an official announcement for when the Splash Mountain retheme will begin or when the new version of the ride is expected to open. We’ll be keeping you updated on it though! Splash Mountain As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest updates on the Splash Mountain retheme and MORE Disney projects!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates Yak & Yeti Quality Beverages It has definitely been a minute since we’ve seen the beverage window — Yak & Yeti Quality Beverages — open in Animal Kingdom’s Asia. Yak & Yeti Quality Beverages window But the increased holiday crowds delivered the need for some extra eats and more ways for guests to quench their thirst. Yak & Yeti Quality Beverages menu It was good to see the spot open since it’s one of the places where you can grab a Yak Attack — that’s a mango Daiquiri made with Don Q Cristal Rum and enhanced with wildberry flavors. Yak Attack This sip goes way back, and it’s an Animal Kingdom classic. Cheers! Find out why we love the Yak Attack by clicking here! Corn-Ivores And over in DinoLand, U.S.A., things were even poppin’ at the rarely-open Corn-Ivores Popcorn Cart, too! Corn-Ivores This is a good thing, since the line was winding well past Sue, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, for the DINOSAUR attraction. (It’s Fast! It’s a Blast! It’s in the PAST!) Dinosaur Line So it’s a need to have more snacking options for fueling up to “Find our DINO!” Did you know there’s a LOUNGE in DinoLand? Check it out — along with a SECRET SIP — here! Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates Native Shoes And did you hear THE NEWS about THE SHOES?!

Hollywood Studios And, we’ve got some updates on must-have Disney merchandise and a new relaxation station to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in! Hollywood Studios Merchandise Update The Darkroom When we were taking a break from the holiday weekend crowds, we snuck into The Darkroom and spotted a new Disney Tails Spirit Jersey in purple. We know spirit jerseys are comfortable for humans, so they must be comfortable for dogs too, right? Disney Tails Purple Spirit Jersey The new Walt Disney World spirit jersey for your dog is $36.99. Multiple Shops Disney has FINALLY hopped on board with one of the newest shoe trends — Native Shoes. The shoes are lightweight, with a keds-like style and crocs-like material making them great park-going shoes. And, now they come in Disney colors and styles! Disney x Native Shoes Oh, and did we mention they come in both kids AND adult sizes? No one has to miss out on park hopping comfort. There are SO many styles with Mickey and Minnie Mouse that you’re sure to find a pair for each family member. Disney x Native Shoes You can find these in quite a few different shops around the park now or these are even available online! Heads Up, Parents! Disney FINALLY Hopped On Your Favorite Shoe Trend! Hollywood Studios Miscellaneous Update Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular When Walt Disney World reopened, they implemented locations around the park that guests can temporarily take a break from their face masks — known as relaxation stations. And, when we were walking around Hollywood Studios, we noticed that Indiana Jones put away his stunts and opened up for guests to come in and relax. Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Show Relaxation Station Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is now a relaxation station in Hollywood Studios. You can come and go as you please and the stadium makes it pretty easy to distance from other parties when removing your mask. Relaxation Station The stunt show has been closed since Disney World reopened but the set is still set up. So, now you can reminisce on all the stunts that once took place while you take a break from wearing your mask. 5 Tips You HAVEN’T Heard 1000 Times For Wearing a Face Mask in Disney World!

When you’re at Disney World, you’re already (hopefully!) having a pretty good time. It doesn’t take much more to take your trip from ordinary to extraordinary! Cinderella Castle You may think you need to spring for a deluxe hotel room, eat at the most popular (and pricey!) restaurants, or go all out on princess dresses and limited edition merch to make your trip extra magical, but there are TONS of ways to UPGRADE your trip for less than $5! Don’t believe it’s possible? Check out these amazing Disney World upgrades that cost a FEW bucks at most! Food Upgrades Cheeeeeeese! If you know us, you know we LOVE cheese! Mickey pretzel with cheese And, at various spots around Disney World, you can get the good stuff for less than $1! Though it’s closed right now, Casey’s Corner at Magic Kingdom has its cheese sauce available as a side for a buck! Plastic Cheese at Casey’s Corner!! Backlot Express at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has the same deal! Cheese Sign Some spots have this cheesy upgrade listed on their menus, and others don’t. So, when in doubt, just ASK if you can add some PLASTIC CHEESE to your meal! Guacamole More of a guac guy or gal than a cheese person? That’s just fine too! You already know we LOVE Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe at the Magic Kingdom. But we reeeeally love that you can add guacamole to your nachos, rice bowl, or fajitas for just $2! Guacamole — for a price! Some sides come free at Pecos, and guac used to be one of them, but hey, $2 ain’t so bad, especially when this side costs WAY more elsewhere at Disney! Peep their side of $1 queso too! Chicken Guy Sauces Chicken Guy! at Disney Springs is a GREAT spot for a budget-friendly meal, and you can upgrade your lunch or dinner here by adding fries, pickle chips, or slaw to your sandwich or tenders for just $2.99. Big Bite B.L.A.T., fries, and slaw from Chicken Guy! But our FAVORITE WAY to indulge at this spot is by raiding the sauce section of the menu and adding additional sauces to our plate for just 50 cents each! Signature Sauces Real people “in the know” also know you can join the Sauce Squad and get TWO additional sauces with every meal for FREE! Gideon’s Frosting Cups What can we say?! We love a good dip sitch! And while you may not think you can make the HALF POUND cookies from Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs even more indulgent, well, you can by getting a FROSTING CUP! Gideon’s frosting tub This little cup of DELICIOUSNESS if just $1.50 and is perfect for, well, ANYTHING! Donut Instead of Bread at Everglazed Honestly, there are so many decadent upgrades you can make while at Disney Springs, and one of this shopping and dining district’s newest spots, Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew, has one too! Everglazed This sweet spot has savory sandwiches, like burgers, breakfast sandwiches, and grilled cheese available. Not feeling bread or a bun? Get your sandwich on a DONUT for just $1 more! Grilled Cheeeeese It’s just CRAZY enough to work! Wanna go even CRAZIER? For another buck YOU. CAN. ADD. BACOOOON! Dole Whip Floats (and Floaters!) NO Disney trip is complete without a Dole Whip! And there’s no way to make this ICONIC snack even better, right? Wrong! You can always get a Dole Whip Float instead of a classic Dole Whip for $5.99. The pineapple juice REALLY makes this snack complete. Pineapple Dole Whip Float Looking for a DIFFERENT kind of float? You can get your Dole Whip with a rum float at Pineapple Lanai at the Polynesian Village Resort for $7 more, which is more than our $5 topper, but come on! This is a DOLE WHIP with RUM! Pineapple Lanai also has Souvenir Tiki Bowls for $5 on top of your $4.99 Dole Whip! Pineapple and Vanilla Swirl Dole Whip in Souvenir Tiki Bowl at Pineapple Lanai There are SO many ways to enjoy this treat! Souvenir Upgrades Souvenir Spork We LOVE a good food upgrade, obviously, but there are little things you can buy on your vacation that make it more fun! And during EPCOT festival season, that means getting your SPORK on! Spike the Bee Spork The Spike the Bee Spork has been a staple at the Flower and Garden Festival for a while, but he’s also popped up at Food and Wine, Festival of the Holidays, and Festival of the Arts! Spike the Bee Spork This trinket is just $2.50 and makes for a fun souvenir and earth-friendly eating around the World! Souvenir Drinkware Wanna take your drink from zero to 100? Make it GLOW! “Holiday” Drink Glow cubes vary in price, but tend to cost around $5. Not a glowing person? How about a FUN STRAW?! Souvenir Lion King straws Who wouldn’t want to share a drink with Simba or Timon and Pumba?! Like the sporks, these reusable straws are good for the planet, and SO incredibly fun! Light Up Balloons Disney World balloons are one of those things we kinda regret purchasing from time to time, but they are a TOTAL classic and not a bad way to spot your stroller from afar. Orange Mickey Balloon But, if you’re a balloon fan, you can take your classic balloon to the NEXT level by purchasing a light-up balloon! Mickey Balloons If you can find them (they don’t typically come out til dusk), light-up balloons are just a few dollars more than a classic balloon, and they’re definitely magical! Designer Popcorn Buckets Disney has SO MANY cute popcorn buckets these days! Popcorn Bucket at EPCOT So, that makes us ask: Why would you buy a standard popcorn bucket?! For example, consider Halloween. You could have purchased a standard popcorn bucket for $12... Disney World Halloween popcorn bucket 2020 …OR you could have gotten this super cool Poison Cauldron Popcorn Bucket for $17! Orange Cauldron Popcorn Bucket That’s only $5 more for all this pizzazz! Reusable Shopping Bags Speaking of a little money for extra style, we LOVE the reusable shopping bags from Disney World’s theme parks and Disney Springs! Epcot Reusable Shopping Bags The small bag is $2, the medium bag is $2.50, and the large bag is $3! Reusable Shopping Bags These super cute bags help you save the planet by reducing single-use plastic products AND they make for a budget-friendly additional souvenir. Just think: the next time you go to the grocery store, you can carry your food home in a MAGIC KINGDOM bag! Personalized Souvenirs If you want to make your Disney souvenir TOTALLY yours, you can get items personalized for a small price! Let’s start with a classic: Mickey Mouse ear hats! Embroidery costs $4.99 for a basic font! Embroidered ear hats Not an ear hat person? How about ornaments? Pre-personalized ornament Personalized ornaments start at just $3 for a name, year, or number. You can get words or additional artwork as well for $3, and this is a fun way to upgrade your holiday decor! Personalized Ornament Prices There are TONS of personalized gifts you can get at Disney World, but we’re also partial to the glassware from Arribas Bros at various locations or Glaskunst in the Germany Pavilion. Arribas Bros. For the year or a short word, this customization is $3.95! Experience Upgrades Animation Classes Want to learn to draw like a Disney animator AND get a cool, unique souvenir at Disney World?! Consider one of the Drawing Classes across the resort! The Animation Experience at Conservation Station happens multiple times a day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! ©Disney And right now, during EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, there’s an Animation Academy class at the American Adventure pavilion! Animation Academy The best part?! These classes are FREE! Scavenger Hunts We LOVE a good hunt — a scavenger hunt that is! These free activities can be found at various Disney World resorts, and there’s a FIN-TASTIC one at EPCOT right now, Finding Dory’s Friends! Finding Dory’s Friends These hunts come with booklets or paper guides and are TOTALLY FREE! They’re a different way to explore Disney World, and a great way for your kiddos to burn off extra energy. You never know what you might find you’ve never noticed before! Dory scavenger hunt You’re already spending a LOT to visit Disney World, and these are just small ways to make your trip EXTRA magical without breaking the bank! 52 Fun Disney World Upgrades Under $50!

A MAJOR Disney transportation option is currently unavailable. Grand Floridian Monorail Station While at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Monorail Station today to head on over to Magic Kingdom, we were evacuated from the platform as BOTH monorail lines went down. Here’s what we know. The resort loop monorail arrived at the station just like it usually does. We waited for some time, but guests were never invited to board. Monorail Down Instead, a Cast Member came down the line to tell us that the monorail would be unavailable at this time and that we would be evacuated from the station and directed to alternate transportation. Monorail Closed From there, Cast Members evacuated everyone from the platform. Monorail Closed Once outside, we noticed that the express monorail had stopped at the station too and Cast Members were informing guests that all monorail lines were currently unavailable. Monorail Closed We’re not sure the reason for the closure. Cast Members were citing “technical difficulties.” Monorail Closed Though the monorails were still stopped when we left Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, we did notice an empty express monorail pass us a few minutes later at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this situation and we’ll be sure to bring you updates as we have them. Stay tuned! Click here to learn about the closure of the EPCOT monorail.

We found a princess-inspired snack in Disney World today! Grand Floridian Disney resorts often have incredible — and overlooked — eats. We’ve recently loved a seasonal cocktail from Disney’s Riviera Resort, some chips at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Super Bowl cupcakes at BoardWalk Bakery. And today, we spotted some pastry puffs at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort that we just have to tell you about! We found these Perfectly Princess Strawberry Cream Puffs at Gasparilla Island Grill. Even though they are pink with heart-shaped sprinkles, they’re not just here for Valentine’s Day! They popped up yesterday and a Cast Member hinted they’ll be sticking around. Perfectly Princess Strawberry Cream Puffs You get three of these cream pastry puffs per order. They have a strawberry cream filling and are dipped in white chocolate that’s tinted pink. Then they’re topped with crispy candy pearls and heart-shaped sprinkles! We found these to be super light and fluffy. That airiness was the perfect cream puff texture! The strawberry cream was light, but not as sweet as we expected. That sweetness came from the white chocolate instead. Perfectly Princess Strawberry Cream Puffs We really enjoyed these! As long as you don’t dislike cream puffs, they’re a pretty safe bet for a fun treat. At $4.99 for the set of 3, they make a great shareable snack — or you can give yourself the royal treatment and eat them all on your own! Perfectly Princess Strawberry Cream Puffs We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney snacks and let you know when we find them! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates.

Disney World ticket pricing can be a little confusing. Cinderella Castle This morning, Disney World released 2022 vacation packages. We noticed that the Disney Park Pass are available for booking into early 2023 and the Disney Dining Plan is still unavailable. On top of this, we DID see some change to day-to-day ticket prices. Wait, is Disney World raising ticket prices in 2022!? The short answer is NO, but that doesn’t mean that your same-time trip might be a little bit more expensive than this year depending on the day you visit the parks. Remember, Disney tickets are priced by date which means the higher-demand the day, the more expensive the ticket. For a 4-Day ticket, that range is currently $103 to $141. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Let’s take a look. Here’s a screenshot of the ticket pricing for April 2021. Tickets range from $111 to $124 varying from day-to-day. Screenshot Now, look at April 2022. Tickets here range from $116 to $130. So, yes, tickets for these dates have increased but the ticket pricing model has not. What the price change here reflects is that Disney considers these days to be higher-demand in 2022 than they were in 2021. Screenshot When you consider that demand is consistently rising for the Disney theme parks with the effect of the global health crisis, it makes sense that these days would be priced in a higher category. Demand is lower than usual this year due to health concerns and pent-up demand is expected to bring a boom of visitors as the vaccine becomes widely distributed. Tree of Life The way that Disney prices their tickets has NOT increased. The lowest price is still the same in 2022 ($109 for 1-day, $103 for 4-day, etc.) and the peak price remains the same — even if more days are considered peak. Spaceship Earth Check out December 2021. You can see the peak price of $141 was used for Christmas day. Screenshot In December 2022, Christmas Day is still that same peak price, but Christmas Eve is now considered peak price as well. Screenshot What does this mean for you? Disney has shifted their idea of demand, so you might see a few extra dollars spent on Disney tickets for your trip depending on which days you choose to visit. Still, this doesn’t constitute an actual price raise to the model, just a change in the average.
