Overview
- Walt Disney World, which plans a stacked summer launch on May 26, expects heavier crowds from new attractions, updated shows, and discounted packages.
- Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run adds a Mandalorian mission with Grogu and Din Djarin on May 22, a draw likely to concentrate visitors at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopened on May 3 with a new storyline and the restored Rainbow Caverns, and its height limit dropped from 40 inches to 38 inches to let younger children ride.
- Disney is enforcing stroller rules more strictly with a 31-inch width and 52-inch length cap, a full ban on stroller wagons, required parking outside queues, and folded strollers on buses.
- The free water park entry on hotel check-in day now applies only to stays from May 26 through September 8, with Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach expected to operate during that window.
