Going in July and need an update on closures, changes, new advice etc!

Hi everyone,

We skipped Disney last year and it appears that's there has been lots of changes. I've tried scrolling through and also reading DIS articles but it's a little overwhelming trying to find all the information. We're staying offsite and don't have APs so I know parking will cost more and we'll have to wait until later to make FP reservations.

Any and all advice and information appreciated!!

Any advice or information?

I'm there for a conference from July 14-17, but spending very little time actually attending. Looking forward to:
Hopefully- river of light
Evening stuff at AK, including new Tiffin's restaurant
Frozen Ever After
New soarin'
New Star Wars launch bay, third track at TSMM
Evening Star Wars fireworks

I'm planning for July too, or should I say, 'guessing' for July. By now, everyone on the Dis could write a book on the subject!
By the time summer is in full swing, Soarin' and the new Frozen attraction will be open, and Anna & Elsa will be back home in Norway. Over in DAK, you can expect a nighttime safari, Jungle Book, (an interim show until RoL begins), Tiffins, the new restaurant, and various after dark parties. At DHS, Toy Story Mania will be back with an additional track, and the possibility of all kinds of Star Wars related events, including a Star Wars dessert party. At the Magic Kingdom the paid events; Early Morning Magic, and the after hours events that are running through June, may be extended but no one knows for sure. FP+
for Wishes and MSEP are gone, you need to pay for the Wishes dessert party for the same viewing area we used to get for free with FP+. To add insult to injury, Disney has only posted park hours through July 2, so planning is a challenge. There are many threads around the Dis that contain a truckload of helpful information, about all of this and more.
