When Disney World reopened<\/a> in July 2020 after a brief closure during the pandemic, the Central Florida resort did so with a lengthy list of procedures intended to control and monitor crowds for health and safety purposes. Most were done away with long ago, like temperature checks at the front gate and six-foot distance markers in ride queues. But a few have stuck around since the park reopened…until now.<\/p>\n

Beginning Jan.9, 2024, Disney World kicked off some major changes<\/a>. Most guests will no longer need to make a theme park reservation to get into the parks and guests with Park Hopper tickets no longer need to wait until 2 p.m. to visit a second park.<\/p>\n

Now, Disney is returning to the old way of doing things and, in doing so, giving guests much more freedom and flexibility \u2014 two things we all want more of when we are on vacation.<\/p>\n

I visited the parks on the first day these changes went into effect to see if it really did feel like “the good old days” at Disney World. Here’s what I experienced and what you need to know before your next visit.<\/p>\n
