In 2017 Disney's Animal Kingdom moved into third place among the most visited theme parks in the United States; 2018 numbers only helped solidify that position.  

Disney is poised to shut down its redundant merchandise portal at the end of the month. 

Walt Disney World guests and Annual Passholders can soon forego the standard solid color MagicBands and receive a discount on more elaborate custom designs. 

In the run-up to the 2019 launch of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Disney has modified a variety of policies related to what guests can do and carry while visiting its theme parks. 

Annual Passes remain unchanged but most single and multi-day passes are now higher with a 1-day base ticket topping out at $159 per person.
