Walt Disney World is constantly changing, especially now as three of the resort's four theme parks have massive construction projects underway and as all the parks open new attractions.

Walt Disney Imagineers know that the secret to maintaining an old theme park ride is to make it new again. This approach has allowed Disney classics to retain their classic status and consistently renew their lease on life time and again across Disney's seven-decade history in the theme park business. This philosophy of change is especially true for the attraction that, at its heart, is about change itself: Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, which is about to receive the most changes it's seen since 1994.

Special perks are available in June 2026 for guests staying at Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, and Pixar Place Hotel.

An upgrade to a Magic Key tier with fewer summer blockout dates is available for $25 to select Disneyland Magic Key holders.

AI tools will be introduced to Disney vacation planning resources, and are already in use behind the scenes.
