June is the massive month of the 12 months at Walt Disney Global, however Might 2024 isn’t any slouch. Whilst the “be truthful to Florida” workforce is lately out in complete power, resentful of the entire characters and the whole lot else coming to California for Pixar Fest, it’s in reality shaping as much as be a decently giant summer season at Walt Disney Global.
After all, there are the main additions and get started dates we already learn about CommuniCore Corridor and Plaza and the “¡Celebración Encanto!” sing-along that debut on June 10, 2024. That very same date, minor additions for Within Out 2 and Lion King’s thirtieth Anniversary arrive at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, respectively. That sounds just like the kickoff of the summer time, however there’s much more going down.
In the event you’ve already booked a go back and forth to Walt Disney Global in Might 2024 and are regretting that selection, don’t concern. There are many issues going down at Walt Disney Global subsequent month! Right here’s the whole lot that is occurring, converting, or coming to Walt Disney Global within the month of Might 2024! Oh, plus a couple of issues that we’re beautiful certain will no longer occur…
Cheer & Dance Competitions
K, so this isn’t one thing about which you must be excited. It’s in reality kinda the other. The certain this is that the month of Might 2024 is firmly within the shoulder season and must be one of the crucial best possible occasions to discuss with of all of the 12 months. A minimum of, for probably the most phase.
There are only a few ‘purple flag’ dates at the 2024 Walt Disney Global Crowd Calendars for the following month, with probably the most notable exception being what’s lately at the ESPN Broad Global of Sports activities calendar. The ones get started this weekend with the Cheerleading Worlds and Dance Worlds, and proceed the primary two weekends in Might with the Cheerleading and Dance Summits.
Those are primary dance and cheerleading competitions that spice up attendance on the parks and occupancy on the lodges, most often the All Stars and Coronado Springs. Then again, the have an effect on on crowd ranges within the parks isn’t important as a complete–and has a tendency to be overblown in response to anecdotal studies, which can be slightly unhealthy. (That means that you might want to assume they’re a massive unfavourable in the event you’re caught in line for Haunted Mansion at the back of a gaggle of 100 cheerleaders…or you could by no means see a unmarried player all the way through a weeklong go back and forth.)
Probably the most noteworthy phase about that is that Animal Kingdom will probably be final at 6 pm on April 29 (clearly no longer in Might, however shut sufficient) for a park buyout as a part of the Cheerleading Worlds. At the turn facet, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting fairly exceptional 10pm closings on the ones weekends in Might 2024. I don’t assume that has the rest to do with the cheer and dance occasions–however it must be nice for past due nights at DHS!
Disney-MGM Studios thirty fifth Anniversary
Talking of which, the park previously referred to as the Disney-MGM Studios for almost all of its lifestyles will probably be celebrating its thirty fifth Anniversary. Visitors visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Might 1, 2024 will give you the option to enjoy the thirty fifth Anniversary birthday party by means of heading to the Theater of the Stars at 11am for a “particular second.” It’s most likely that the park VP will discuss, random characters, and longtime DHS Solid Individuals will take the level.
Don’t be expecting the rest extra, although. We had been at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the park’s thirtieth Anniversary, and it used to be only a minor factor. There used to be new products and menu pieces, at the side of a cavalcade at the side of the revealing of a bland new brand and tease about Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, plus the announcement of Toy Tale Roundup Rodeo BBQ and debut of the Glorious Global of Animation projection display. I consider the one risk for 2024 is an replace at the new Little Mermaid display–the whole lot else it will likely be held again for the D23 Expo in August.
Beginning Might 1, you’ll rock the brand new unique Disney’s Hollywood Studios thirty fifth Anniversary products assortment, to be had for a restricted time at Degree 1 Corporate Retailer. This assortment contains t-shirts, a Loungefly backpack, an unique pin and extra.
If you wish to purchase these items, be instructed {that a} digital queue will probably be in position on Might 1st to go into Degree 1 Corporate Retailer in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You’ll be able to request to enroll in starting at 7AM ET on Might 1st. This won’t have an effect on your talent to enroll in different digital queues for points of interest (despite the fact that none of the ones are at DHS, anyway).
V.I.Passholder Days
V.I.PASSHOLDER Days (or VIP Passholder Days, if you wish to sound it out and take away the yelling) is a limited-time providing only for Annual Passholders at Walt Disney Global Hotel. It’s the corporate’s approach of claiming ‘thanks’ for being a Walt Disney Global Annual Passholder!
V.I.Passholder Days will happen between Might 1 and June 26, 2024. The in-park focal point of the ‘match’ seems to be at EPCOT to this point, however like closing 12 months, there’ll most probably even be choices at Animal Kingdom. APs will have the ability to make the most of unique perks and reductions all over the parks and accommodations all the way through the month-long appreciation match, with one spotlight being a loose Sew magnet at Creations Store.
The opposite giant construction for the 2024 V.I.Passholder Days is the loose front room transferring to Eating place Marrakesh, which used to be in the past the Florida Blue Living room in Morocco. From Might 1 till June 18, 2024, Passholders can chill out and recharge within the unique AP front room at EPCOT.
Unwind with complimentary snacks and water from midday till 8pm each day. Plus, revel in charging stations in your cellular gadgets. However that’s no longer all! Get your cameras in a position for wonder visits from particular Disney characters.
Might the 4th
Bouncing again to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the large day for Celebrity Wars lovers is Might the Fourth. This can be a very an identical tale to the thirty fifth Anniversary of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, within the sense that that is an match that’s giant with diehard lovers…however Walt Disney Global doesn’t do a complete lot to rejoice.
Beginning Might the Fourth, you’ll have the ability to to find the next meals at Disney’s Hollywood Studios:
ABC Commissary, Backlot Specific, PizzeRizzo & Rosie’s All-American Café (To be had Might 4 via 31; cellular order to be had)
- Jettison Juice: Minute Maid Lemonade and watermelon served with a glow dice (Non-alcoholic Beverage)
Docking Bay 7 Meals & Shipment (To be had Might 4-31, 2024)
- Mossberry Biscuit: Biscuit crowned with ube and matcha icing, ube micro sponge cake, sprinkles, and dehydrated blueberries (New)
Dockside Diner (To be had via Might 31, 2024)
- Princess of Alderaan Shake: Salted caramel shake crowned with whipped cream, suitable for eating glitter, and mini cinnamon rolls
Milk Stand (To be had Might 4-31, 2024)
- Polystarch Puffbread: Croissants crowned with blue and inexperienced milk craquelin served with yuzu-passion fruit-coconut dipping sauce (New)
Rosie’s All-American Cafe (To be had Might 4-31, 2024)
- Mustafarian Puff: Pink cream puff with cookies ‘n cream custard filling crowned with chocolate cream cookie crumbs
Oasis Canteen, Sunshine Day Bar, Song-In Living room, and The Hollywood Brown Derby Living room (To be had Might 4-31, 2024)
- Cosmic Rum Punch: Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Bacardí Awesome Rum, pineapple juice, Minute Maid Lemonade, grenadine, and a glow dice
Anaheim Produce, Grand Road, Marketplace, and Churro Cart (To be had Might 4-5 at Anaheim Produce, Grand Road, and Marketplace; Might 4-31 at Churro Cart)
- Lightsaber Churro with chocolate sauce
One query that usually comes up with reference to Might the Fourth is whether or not DHS will probably be insanely busy. In an ordinary 12 months, the solution isn’t any. Celebrity Wars lovers do descend upon the park, however their have an effect on on wait occasions outdoor of Galaxy’s Edge and Celebrity Excursions is negligible.
For 2024, I’m no longer so assured of that solution. Might the Fourth is a Saturday and it coincides with the aforementioned cheer and dance summits and DHS is open till 10pm and park reservations are totally booked for Annual Passholders. The ones are a large number of variables, no longer all of which must do with Celebrity Wars, that time to the park being busier.
I do actually, actually like the ones 10pm final occasions for Disney’s Hollywood Studios, however the ones also are going down Might 2-3. So in case your time table is versatile, the ones are definitely the simpler two days to discuss with. If no longer, don’t worry an excessive amount of. DHS additionally opens at 8:30am on Might 4, so arrive an hour ahead of that and make the most of Early Access and twine drop, do a noon destroy, and go back after 6pm. That are meant to nonetheless be an ideal way yielding a variety of points of interest with minimum waits.
Leisure Time Adjustments
From now via Might 11, the showtime of Fortunately Ever After at Magic Kingdom is 9pm. Beginning on Might 12, Fortunately Ever After will push its get started time again to 9:20pm. This can be a standard alternate that occurs all over the 12 months, and is principally pushed by means of sundown occasions.
For my part, I want previous showtimes for Fortunately Ever After. Like clockwork, wait occasions drop for different points of interest as visitors clutch dinner after which stake out spots for Fortunately Ever After. Then there’s the park-exodus as a excessive share of visitors go away following the fireworks. The sooner all of this occurs, the simpler–it manner there’s extra time that rides have shorter strains. This can be a little bit of a double-edged sword, as previous showtimes additionally imply extra crowded viewing spaces for Fortunately Ever After.
The larger and higher alternate that’ll happen subsequent month begins Might 26, when the Pageant of Delusion Parade will as soon as once more have two day by day performances, stepping off at 12pm and 3pm. The parade is lately being carried out handiest at 3pm, which is its shoulder season (and low season) time table.
Simultaneous with this, the Disney Journey Pals Cavalcade will transfer to 2 night time performances at 5:10pm and six:25pm. Present efficiency occasions are 10:30am and 11:45am. Extra showings of the Pageant of Delusion sunlight hours parade is clearly a excellent factor, because it dilutes the crowds for every (and for different points of interest). I additionally just like the cavalcades transferring later–it’s no longer an enormous deal, however makes viewing them in shady spots more straightforward.
In truth, I actually want Pageant of Delusion had a night mode just like the Disneyland sunlight hours parades. It wouldn’t be related all the way through the summer season months, however could be great from November via early March, when a later showtime may just happen at nightfall. Few issues I revel in greater than staring at Magic Occurs in cool climate with its night time lighting fixtures results. (It’s without a doubt no longer the similar as a fully-fledged night time parade, however it’s higher than not anything.)
Be expecting Pageant of Delusion to have two day by day showtimes via a minimum of July. Someday between mid-August and September, it’ll most likely drop again to 1 day by day efficiency.
DAS Overhaul Release
Disney introduced that they’ll as soon as once more be overhauling the Incapacity Get right of entry to Provider (DAS) to scale back abuse and misuse. Those primary adjustments will start on Might 20 at Walt Disney Global, after which in June at Disneyland.
Solid Individuals at Walt Disney Global will paintings with a workforce of specifically skilled well being pros from Encourage Well being Alliance in conversations had to resolve a visitor’s eligibility for DAS. The experience of Encourage Well being Alliance will assist be sure that DAS is equipped handiest to the small share of visitors for whom it’s meant and who require it. Consistent with Disney, DAS is meant to deal with a small share of Visitors who, because of a developmental incapacity like autism or an identical, are not able to attend in a traditional queue for a longer time frame.
To fulfill those objectives, Walt Disney Global and Disneyland also are extending Incapacity Get right of entry to Provider enrollment for eligible visitors from 60 days to 120 days and adjusting DAS birthday party measurement to incorporate speedy members of the family handiest, however differently not more than 4 other folks. That means that in the event you’re a DAS visitor visiting with 5 speedy members of the family, all will have the ability to accompany you in line. However in the event you’re heading to the park with 5 pals, handiest you and three others could be in a position to enroll in the road in combination by way of DAS.
There’s much more to understand in regards to the adjustments, that are slightly consequential. In the event you overlooked it ahead of, check with our FAQ to Incapacity Get right of entry to Provider (DAS) Adjustments at Walt Disney Global for the whole lot we all know to this point. Probably the most specifics received’t make certain till the adjustments in reality roll out.
Disney Desires That Bounce
In the event you inquire from me, the Disney information of the whole 12 months that flew maximum below the radar is the “Disney Desires That Bounce” drone display coming to Disney Springs. This used to be introduced the similar day because the aforementioned Lion Kingdom thirtieth Anniversary and Within Out stuff at DAK and DHS, and there used to be extra reader pastime in either one of the ones issues…they usually’re most probably going to be rather underwhelming.
I am getting that vacationers are extra involved in Walt Disney Global’s 4 theme parks than Disney Springs, however I feel the ground and ceiling are each a lot upper on “Disney Desires That Bounce.” (No longer handiest that, however the long term possible for drones!)
“Disney Desires That Bounce” will show off Disney tales celebrating the enjoyment of flight with cutting-edge drones choreographed to create designs within the sky and matched with a “hovering” musical rating and remarkable film quotes. After spending an afternoon delighting in buying groceries, finding a laugh actions and savoring various flavors at Disney Springs, flip your eyes to the skies above the West Aspect with a display among the celebrities. “Disney Desires That Bounce” will run nightly from Might 24 via September 2, 2024!
Except for Tiana’s Bayou Journey, this is what I’m maximum thinking about at Walt Disney Global in 2024. I actually hope “Disney Desires That Bounce” garners extra fan buzz and pastime as soon as the primary movies and opinions get started circulating.
New Attracted to Existence Enjoy
Visitors will quickly have the ability to get an insider’s take a look at Attracted to Existence, the are living theatrical manufacturing offered by means of Cirque du Soleil and Disney, with an all-new behind-the-scenes enjoy. Launching Might 24, the “Web page to Degree Signature Enjoy” will be offering visitors an intimate behind-the-scenes take a look at the display, together with a behind the curtain excursion and artist meet-and-greet, along with top rate display seating, collectible products and extra.
Following the efficiency of Attracted to Existence, “Web page to Degree” visitors will meet with one of the display’s gifted artists for pictures and Q&A. Within the unique spotlight of the night time, visitors will embark on a behind the curtain and below-stage excursion of Attracted to Existence, with the chance to get an up-close take a look at one of the display’s intricate costumes and one-of-a-kind props.
The “Web page to Degree Signature Enjoy” will probably be restricted to 9 visitors and presented following the second one efficiency on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. After all, all of this comes at a price…tickets are $285 for adults and $225 for youngsters!
H2O Glow After Hours Returns
Over at Disney’s Storm Lagoon water park, the fan-favorite H2O Glow After Hours particular match returns on the tail finish of Might! All through the development, you’ll have get entry to to shorter wait occasions for water slides, colourful décor, high-energy DJ dance events, unique glow-themed menu choices, and extra.
Disney H2O Glow After Hours at Disney’s Storm Lagoon is hung on takes position choose nights from past due Might to early September, from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm. You’ll be able to get a head get started at the unique match by means of coming into the water park at 6:00 pm, supplying you with a complete of five hours to benefit from the water park.
All through the H2O Glow After Hours, fashionable water rides and slides at Disney’s Storm Lagoon Water Park have considerably shorter wait occasions. Whether or not you’re capturing down Overwhelm N’ Gusher, making a touch within the Surf Pool, or bustin’ a transfer at the dance ground, you’ll enjoy this storm-strewn paradise in a complete new gentle.
What No longer to Be expecting in Might 2024
Tiana’s Bayou Journey Opening or Previews – At one level, there have been rumors of a Memorial Day opening for Tiana’s Bayou Journey, which might’ve intended previews previous within the month. I by no means concept Memorial Day used to be lifelike for Tiana’s Bayou Journey’s authentic opening date, and now I feel that send has additionally sailed on comfortable openings or association previews (AP/DVC/C33/and so forth).
Perhaps the reimagined trip will probably be in a position for Solid Member previews by means of then, however I’m skeptical–I feel the ones slip into early June 2024. Understand that even if trip checking out is complete steam forward, paintings nonetheless must be carried out, at the side of Solid Member coaching, check & modify, and extra. That at all times takes extra time than lovers await. No longer handiest that, however we now know the media match for Tiana’s Bayou Journey is in mid-June, so clearly it received’t debut ahead of then.
Our wager for an authentic opening continues to be June 20, 2024. There’s an affordable chance of the outlet date being from June 20-28, 2024. With every passing day with out a press release, although, the chance of the date slipping into early July will increase.
Lightning Lane Pre-Reserving – We’ve been predicting for some time now that an overhaul to Incapacity Get right of entry to Provider to additional crack down on abuse and misuse used to be a vital prerequisite for the rollout of Lightning Lane advance bookings. That began closing fall with excursion teams, and the endgame arrives on Might 20 with the entire DAS overhaul.
As a result, there’s virtually no likelihood that pre-arrival Lightning Lanes arrive by means of or ahead of Might 20, 2024. In all chance, Walt Disney Global will need/wish to assess the have an effect on of the DAS adjustments and pass from there. As mentioned in the most recent replace to When Will Pre-Arrival Lightning Lanes Arrive at Walt Disney Global?, this pushes the release date later into summer season and even the low season.
Summer time Pageant – Memorial Day most often marks the unofficial get started of the summer time at Walt Disney Global. Previously, that has intended the kickoff of a birthday party of a few type. This 12 months, we’ve in particular been predicting an EPCOT Summer time Pageant because of the shortening of Flower & Lawn and Meals & Wine.
No matter does occur–if the rest does occur–it received’t get started in Might. Given the whole lot that’s already introduced for June 10, that is being considered because the unofficial get started of summer time at Walt Disney Global. It’s imaginable extra is slated to debut on that date…or perhaps no longer! Walt Disney Global may additionally do a multi-phase rollout, with extra additions coming on-line the similar date as Tiana’s Bayou Journey opens. On every occasion this is, it received’t be in Might 2024.
