Major Theme Park News

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week there was so much news, we decided to make it the full episode. Tune in next week for our full recap of our Disney trip and the Dopey Challenge.

The Disney Dining Plan has been nonexistent since pandemic, but now Disney is offering some dining promotions up to $750 at no extra cost.

We know “Happily Ever After” was coming back, but now we have a date! April 3 is the day! Epcot Forever will also be returning April 3. But possibly the biggest news is that the barges are going bye bye!

Speaking of Disney shows, “Avengers: Power the Night” drone show will be running in Parisian on the Tower of Terror for their 30th anniversary grand finale from January 28 through May 8.  This show will feature 500 drones making iconic items from he MCU like Cap’s shield, Ironman’s repulsers, and Dr. Strange’s sling ring.

In a strange turn of events…Disney is cutting costs for guests. Yes, you read it correctly. Over in Disney World, there will be complimentary parking at hotels, relaxed passholder reservations after 2, and Genie+ will include attraction photos. For the 100th anniversary, Disneyland in California will allow park hopping at 11 and free attraction photos starting February 4th. They will also offer two months’ worth of $104 days.

And in the last piece of Disney news for now, Reedy Creek changed the land usage plan, which will allow them to create space for another theme park, if they’d like. We speculate on what this might mean.
