When it comes to heavy Disney news cycles, some months stand out more than others. March 2026 was one of those months.

So much happened in March that it’s tough to know where to begin. Some new Bluey snacks are coming to the Disney Parks, Disney+ has added vertical videos to its platform, new discounts were announced, a certain ABC dating show had its season canceled before its premiere after significant controversy, some upcoming Disney blockbuster films got official release dates, and the new Disney cruise ship — the Disney Believe — was announced! It’s safe to say that March was PACKED with important news. However, what stuck with us most was the revelation of some important dates we need to circle in our Disney World calendars.
If there’s one thing Disney loves to do, it’s drop a whole bunch of news at the same time, so we have SO much to talk about. This summer at Disney World might just be the best one yet, with reopening dates and discounts to go along with it.
In March, Disney gave us tons of opening and reopening dates for attractions at Disney World — and they’re all coming up fairly soon!
