02-01-2024 • 17 mins

What you want to know when planning your 2024 Walt Disney World vacation. While there may not be a brand new marquee ride or attraction launching at Disney World in 2024, there are still several reimagined rides coming your way, plus some returning old favorites and new onsite Disney accommodations.

What's Ahead for Walt Disney World in 2024

Everything You Need to Know for Planning Your 2024 Disney World Vacation

What's New at Walt Disney World? What's Changing? And what could we see at Walt Disney World in 2024 that hasn't yet been announced?

New Rides and Attractions Coming to Walt Disney World in 2024

Two (sort of) new rides are on the way...and possibly a third


All three are not technically new, but rather they are overhauls of existing rides.

  1. Tiana's Bayou Adventure (previously Splash Mountain)
  2. The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure (previously Voyage of the Little Mermaid)
  3. Still in question (currently Rock'n'Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith)

Some Old Favorites Return to Walt Disney World in 2024

The Disney Dining Plan is back, Disney World park hopping is back, and the Disney World Park Pass reservation system is gone for some guests.

Genie+ will undergo some sort of change in order to target the disruptive 7:00 a.m. day-of booking procedure.

Beyond that, we can expect further price increases to continue and even more tweaks as Disney tries to address the fixes they made when things weren't broken.

One big question mark is still the long outstanding re-opening of 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.

Two New Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Resorts will Open at Walt Disney World in 2024

The Polyday Inn (as we call it), aka the new Polynesian Village DVC Tower and the DVC Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground are both scheduled to open at some point in 2024.

We expect the DVC cabins at Fort Wilderness to open first, followed by the new tower at the Disney's Polynesian Village Resort later in 2024.
