The most talked-about development out of Walt Disney World this week centers on Space Mountain — specifically, the possibility of a ground-up rebuild of the beloved Magic Kingdom coaster. According to reports, a project of this magnitude has never come this close to moving forward, marking a potential turning point for the 50-year-old attraction.
On the ticketing front, passes for upcoming holiday events went on sale, giving guests who like to plan ahead an early opportunity to lock in their spots for the fall and winter season's most popular after-hours offerings.
Guests who've struggled to secure a seat at two of Walt Disney World's more exclusive dining lounges got some welcome news as well: both locations added walk-up list options, opening the door for visitors without advance reservations to try their luck on the day of their visit.
Finally, a leadership change is coming to the resort. A new resort president has been officially confirmed and is set to step into the role in August, signaling a fresh chapter for Walt Disney World's executive team.
