Disney World is changing all the time, and some of those changes mean that certain rides, attractions, and restaurants have to CLOSE for a while.

Another welcome change has been the return of free parking for select guests, but parking fees are still a reality for many who come to the parks. So who still has to pay? Let’s take a look.

If there’s one thing that’s for certain at Disney, it’s that things are always changing. That’s never been more evident than as of late — with CEO shakeups, potential battles over Disney’s board, attraction updates, and more hitting the company in the last three months alone. Park passes were also recently hit with changes in Disney World and Disneyland, and fans are hoping that could be a signal that more park pass changes are on the way.
