Walt Disney World resort guests have a few new things to add to their pre-trip checklist: three hotel policies are changing in 2026, and knowing about them ahead of time could save you a headache at check-in.
Disney has quietly updated rules that apply to on-site hotel stays, and while the changes may seem like fine print, they can have a real impact on how you plan and enjoy your visit — from what you pack to how you schedule your days.
Whether you're a first-time visitor booking a Value resort or a seasoned Annual Passholder who knows the Deluxe properties by heart, it's worth reviewing the updated policies before your next reservation to make sure nothing catches you off guard.
