In case you missed it, Disney announced that Park Hopping at Walt Disney World Resort will return with the new year. It will look a little different than before, as hopping will only be available after 2PM (could be later). Additionally, guests must enter their originally scheduled park first (booked through the Park Pass Reservation System) and then check the MyDisneyExperience app to check the available parks to “hop.”

More restaurants opening for the holiday season

Another exciting news piece from the past weekend is that Crystal Palace will be available for reservations beginning 12/1 for dining beginning December 13. While our favorite characters from Hundred Acre Woods will be absent, the ambiance and view will be the same. In lieu of the traditional buffet, the meal offering will transition to family style.

Additional Quick Service location re-openings were also announced. Those include Woody’s Lunch Box (opening 11/25), located in Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios as well as a revamped menu and outdoor dining option over at Tomorrowland Terrace (Opening 12/17), in Disney’s Magic Kingdom.
