4. Annual pass sales could resume soon

In the same email about the cancelled complimentary MagicBands it was also mentioned that those who newly purchase annual passholders will not be able to get a free MagicBand, which has led some to speculate that Walt Disney World may begin selling annual passes again in the near future. And though nothing has been confirmed, with all four Walt Disney World theme parks increasing capacity, it seems like a good time to make this move. 

5.  Disney Parks Pass reservations extremely limited in June and for Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary 

And speaking of raised capacity, though Disney is allowing more guests to visit the parks, Parks Pass availability continues to be VERY limited, with all parks unavailable for the remainder of May, and only Epcot now available on select days in June. Looking further out on the calendar it looks like guests are already making reservations for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, with many parks unavailable on October 1, 2021. 

Of course, Parks Pass availability can be replenished at any time so if you're hoping to visit the theme parks in the near future, make sure you check the availability calendar here. 

6. Three Caballeros animatronics return to Gran Fiesta Tour

The finale of the Gran Fiesta Tour animatronic has felt a little flat lately with the normally lively Three Caballeros animatronic figures replaced by stoic cardboard cutouts. However, Walt Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley announced this week via his Instagram that The Three Caballeros audio-animatronics have returned to the Gran Fiesta Tour after a nearly four-month-long absence.
