Interesting they are allowing for parking vouchers too.. also I noticed today that the Legacy Discounts were extended through 6/30/21.

July4 One Day Hopper plus parking voucher = $234.DL /
$211 WDW without parking included. July 4 for one adult.
What type of discount will legacy offer?
Will be interesting to see if they are eager to announce some type of membership (replacement for AP ) because how many families can afford this in Southern Cal? And WDW ?

Oh yeah don’t get me wrong, that is too rich for my blood, but I don’t believe you have ever been able to pre-purchase parking (could be wrong as most of my old AP’s already included it). The legacy discount is just on food and beverage, and you can also use it at DD. I don’t plan on using it personally as I am going to WDW next month… just sharing what I saw in the app today. I am assuming they will announce something regarding the membership in June/July.

Yikes, Disneyland Paris has opened reservations for the Marvel hotel this morning. High season at opening is $1,000 per night, to $650 in low season. That's a whole lot of money for a brand.
We cannot book the Disneyland Hotel at the moment, but it's at least the same price per night or even higher.
And this is for regular rooms, I do not want to know the price of the suites.

If I would book this, I would spend my whole day in my hotel room to get my money's worth.

ED92 did a long article featuring all the details. https://www.ed92.org/en/disneys-hotel-new-york-the-art-of-marvel-en/

Notice that these are temporary signs. Not the more semi-permanent stickers that go on the placards. Laminated 12 x 18 sheets of paper that can be easily removed. Disney is smart in spending a lot of money on signage that will not be in use for very long.

Just got the following e-mail from Disney. I found the highlighted part interesting.

Dear Valued Passholder, In March, we introduced Disney MagicMobile service, an easy, more contactless new way to enter the Walt Disney World® theme parks through the power of eligible iPhones, Apple Watch or Google Pay enabled Android phones! As part of this new service, guests can choose from several Disney-themed MagicMobile Pass designs in the My Disney Experience app—and coming soon be on the lookout for new exclusive designs featuring Orange Bird and Figment just for Annual Passholders. As a reminder, valid park admission and a park reservation are required for park entry. As more Passholders continue to discover this new option, we will no longer be offering complimentary MagicBands with Annual Pass purchases and renewals made August 16, 2021 and beyond. Annual Passholders will continue to receive a special discount on MagicBands purchased, with even more designs to choose from in the future. Annual Passholders can continue to use current or newly purchased MagicBands, their Annual Pass Card or Disney MagicMobile pass during their visits. As a reminder, your Annual Pass Card and valid photo ID are required to receive your Annual Passholder discount at participating locations, whether using a MagicBand or Disney MagicMobile service. As always, we thank you for being part of the Passholder family!​

Thanks for sharing, I hope that actually means they’re planning to resume sales and it’s not just recycled form language, I’ve been wanting to purchase my first AP since October 2020

PHOTOS: Walt Disney World archway transitions into new look

"ORLANDO, Fla. - In the fall of 2020, Walt Disney World announced that its roadway archways are getting a makeover.

They said that the new look, which features all-new colors, will complement the royal colors of Cinderella's Castle at the Magic Kingdom."
