A ton of news broke in the theme park world this week, and we look at the biggest stories from Disney, from all the D23 announcements, to various annual passes becoming unavailable.
Before logging off the internet for Thanksgiving, let’s dive into the flood of theme park news that Disney has released over the last week. It revealed a lot of details about upcoming parks projects at last week’s Destination D23 event, and also released some surprising news about its new annual pass programs this week. Let’s get to it!
On Monday Disney announced that the three top tiers of Disney World’s annual passes were temporarily unavailable. The only annual pass that can still be purchased for Disney World, known as the Pixie Dust Pass, is exclusive to Florida residents and has the most blackout dates of any tier—including all weekends throughout the year, and many weekdays during the upcoming holiday season. And then earlier today it was announced that a second tier of Disneyland’s Magic Key annual passes has sold out.
The timing was especially surprising, as Disney just announced more info on a slew of upcoming projects during last weekend’s Destination D23 convention. From opening timelines for major new rides, to updates on live entertaining in the parks, D23 gave us an idea of what to expect from the Disney parks throughout 2022—and no doubt made many want to pick up one of those annual passes.
Much of the live entertainment that Disney guests have loved for decades has been paused during the recovery from the pandemic. The parks will slowly start reintroducing nighttime shows and live shows, bringing back crowd favorites over the next few months, sometimes with a few tweaks.
