Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World! Lately, it feels like the parks are entirely new places thanks to upcoming projects like Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters Inc. Land, and more, and while that sometimes can be overwhelming, we’re here to help you navigate it all.

Each week, it feels like Disney is constantly dropping new information, details, and more! That’s why we like to do a weekly wrap-up of the biggest news so you don’t miss a single thing. We got a TON of announcements this week, so get ready.

This week’s news takes us into multiple different Disney World parks, including the water parks! Not only that, we also got a major shakeup in the world of Disney technology.

Water Park Pass is BACK!

If you’ve wanted to visit Disney’s water parks, Blizzard Beach and/or Typhoon Lagoon multiple times, but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg each time, this returning deal is FOR YOU! Disney has brought back their seasonal water park pass for just $89 plus tax (0r $83 for kids 3-9). It’s available to be used up until May 15th, 2027, and you can start using it RIGHT NOW!

There are a few blockout dates to keep in mind, however: February 19th to 21st and March 20th to 28th, 2027, which is peak spring break season. This pass gives you access to both water parks, if they’re both open, or to whichever one is open at the time of your visit.

The Disney Play App is No More

We’ve got some bad news if you loved the Play Disney Parks app. As of September 16th, the app has been discontinued. If you search for Play Disney Parks in the App Store or on Google Play, you won’t find it. While we did find the web page for the app on the Disney World website and in My Disney Experience, the download links no longer work.

The app is still showing up on phones that have downloaded it, but if you click on its icon, you’ll get a message letting you know that the app is no longer available. Most of the games on the app aren’t working anymore, but as for the Star Wars Bounty Hunters game, it still seems to be active. Disney has not yet explained how the game has changed.

The Expedition Everest Single Rider Line Will Soon Be No More

As of September 21st, the single rider line option at Expedition Everest will go away forever. However, this didn’t come as a huge surprise since Disney started changing the way the ride loaded recently. Previously, when you reached the end of the line, Cast Members would assign you a row and then have single riders fill the gap. However, Disney started experimenting with pre-sorting guests in the final section of the queue into even and odd groups, allowing ride vehicles to be loaded more efficiently. This meant that fewer single riders were getting called, and the single rider line began moving slower.

Disney did stress that the single rider option at other select rides still offers a useful tool to help Cast Members fill the remaining seats in ride vehicles that aren’t occupied, so it will remain in place at other attractions.
