"Disney World Simplifies Park Visits with New Reservation and Park Hopping Policies"
Walt Disney World in Florida is lifting COVID-era restrictions by no longer requiring park reservations for most guests and allowing park hopping without a 2 p.m. wait. The highly requested Disney Dining Plan is also returning, offering two prepaid meal plan options for guests. These changes will take effect on January 9, providing visitors with more flexibility for their trips.
