Disney Annual Passholders will also see some changes. The company will offer “good-to-go days” for passholders which would allow them to visit any of the four theme parks after 2 p.m. without the need for a park reservation.

Disney Dining Plans will be back as an option for guests who purchase a vacation package stay at a Disney Resort Collection hotel. The two options will include the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan or the Disney Dining Plan.
