Disney4me Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago It’s no secret that Disney is CONSTANTLY making major announcements — you should see our company Slack threads during busier days — and sometimes some can fall through the cracks. However, that’s where we come in! Cinderella Castle We keep track of EVERY SINGLE DISNEY announcement, from the large to the minuscule and everything in between, and we’ve rounded up everything notable from October! Ticket Price Increases As has become typical for Disney for years now, the beginning of October saw a slew of price increases at Disney World.

However, prices for Memory Maker notably stayed the same! Lakeshore Lodge Booking OPENED! On October 8th, Disney officially opened booking for Lakeshore Lodge — the BRAND-NEW Disney resort hotel scheduled to open on July 1st — to the general public, after DVC Members and Annual Passholders had the chance to book over the preceding two days. Depending on dates and room type, guests will be shelling out between $500 and $2,500 a night to stay at the 960+ room hotel, which features a design aesthetic “inspired by the majesty of nature and its enduring influence on Disney artists.” @bioreconstruct on X Tiana’s Closure… and REOPENING Dates Confirmed! In October, Disney confirmed the dates for the previously announced refurbishment of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The Magic Kingdom attraction will close on November 2nd and is currently scheduled to reopen on December 18th, just before the heaviest part of the Christmas rush! Tiana animatronic However, ride news wasn’t all closures in October, as the Walt Disney World Railroad opened EARLY from refurbishment at the end of the month. Though keep in mind, the train is still operating in shuttle mode for the foreseeable future thanks to Piston Peak and Villains Land construction. The train! Holiday Snacks!
