Welcome to another Rope Drop Radio.

I am Doug McKnight here with Lauren Shields and Lauren.

If you make it through the show awake today, I'll be impressed because you were up early dealing with a special release by Disney.

Yes, we got one day's notice that they opened up 2026 for booking

today. So I was up early booking things for clients. Super fun. So hopefully I can stay awake.

But for 2026, the new fun thing is that they are including free kids dining plans with the purchase

of an adult for the whole year, which is something

we haven't seen before.

So that's the new shiny thing for 2026.

They're keeping early entry into the parks.

Deluxe resorts are still going to have extended evening hours on select days.

And they are moving the free water park on arrival day to summer months.

Okay.
