Oh, there are so many. From which point do you want to measure? I can try to help.

Been busy during the last two years and wanted to catch up on any changes.

Okay, so let's just say from pre-pandemic times. This may not be a comprehensive list, but I'll try:

General:

• Park Reservations now required
• Park Hopping only allowed after 2 PM
• Genie+ - $15 per day for Lightning Lane access (FastPass) and some attractions paid access
• No more Disney's Magical Express
• Resort Guests get 30 minutes early entry to all parks every day, Deluxe Resort guests get certain extra hours at night

In Park:

• All Parks: "Fab 50" gold statues dotted around for the 50th
• All Parks: "Beacons of Light" short projection shows on each park icon
• MK: Disney Enchantment is the new fireworks show replacing Happily Ever After - it has projecions all down Main Street now
• MK: The WDW Railroad is still down pending completion of TRON's programming
• EP: Spaceship Earth has a new LED lighting package that is used in lieu of projections for the Beacons of Light and it is lit all night!
• EP: HarmonioUS is the new nighttime spectacular replacing Illuminations and Epcot Forever
• EP: Construction walls are starting to come down on the central spine
  • Creations Shop & Connections Cafe both now open
  • Furture World now referred to as neighborhoods: World Celebration (center), World Discovery (Future World East), World Nature (Future World West)
• EP: NEW RIDE: Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion!
• EP: NEW RIDE: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in World Discovery!
• EP: The Epcot Experience in The Odyssey Pavilion now closed
• HS: NEW RIDE: Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway in the Chinese Theater
• HS: Shows now back in operation - Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, Bauty and the Beast
• HS: Fantasmic! remains closed
• HS: NEW RIDE: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Galaxy's Edge - this opened just before your timeframe, but it's close so I'm listing it
• AK: Primeval Whirl has been completely removed
• AK: Festival of the Lion King has returned to the full show at the Harmabe Village Theater
• AK: Revamped Finding Nemo show, "The Big Blue and Beyond" has opened at the Theater in the Wild
• AK: Disney Kite Tails is performed on the lagoon as a small show many times per day

I think that covers a lot of it, the major stuff anyway, and there's been a lot. Some of the rules changes have not been met with a positive response, but they are also changing a lot too. If you have any specific questions about anything feel free to ask. If anyone knows of anything that I missed, please post it.

I would love that! It's been a while for me and while I want to go back I feel like I could use a tutorial, when I look at the boards on travel it all feels like shorthand but details are needed.
