Anyone who has visited any of the Disney Parks and Resorts in the last few years will have surely noticed a lot of changes. From mask mandates and virtual queues to a few attractions going completely M.I.A., the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has really changed a lot inside the Disney Parks. However, one beloved experience is slowly returning back to normal and Guests couldn’t be more excited.
