At Disney World:
First, there are now officially NO "Legacy" FastPasses in the Disney World parks! For my travelers who were able to "double dip" during the initial testing phase - yay for you! FastPass+ has now been expanded to all four parks and the paper (Legacy FASTPASS)
system is not available. What does this mean for you? If you are a guest staying in a Disney resort, you will continue to be able to make any FastPass selections up to 60 days in advance. However, your Key to the World card will not work in a traditional kiosk. Guests who are not staying at a Disney World resort hotel can make same-day, same-park FastPass+ selections at NEW kiosks (not the traditional FASTPASS kiosks that were located near the individual rides) located throughout the Disney Parks.

The Year of the Horse returns during the Happy Lunar New Year Celebration, January 31-February 2nd at Disney California Adventure park! The Paradise Gardens will be the scene for the daily tribute to the traditional celebrations of the Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese cultures.
Watch as a Chinese dragon dance troupe joins Mickey, Minnie, and the gang for the celebration. Guests also get the chance to make their own paper lanterns, AND partake in the tradition of writing good wishes for fortune and happiness to family and friends.
Oh and one last thing, speaking of dragons...
I can't wait to see the rest of the parade floats! What do ya think?
