Whilst we try to keep things up to date as much as we can here on Modern Life is Good we will never be able to bring you everything that is happening. Our Walt Disney World News May 2018 Summary will bring you all the latest news from Walt Disney World from Modern Life is Good and other excellent Walt Disney World Blogs.
Toy Story Land News
Toy Story land is due to open on the 30 June and more details are getting released. Perhaps the biggest announcement is the release of the new Fastpass Tiers:

- All other attractions will now be in Tier 2.
Guests are allowed to advance book one option from Tier 1 and two options from Tier 2 each day they visit. You can book 3 selections from Tier 2 if you book no Tier 1 attractions.

Donald’s Dino Bash!

It is hard to imagine that Donald’s Dino-Bash will make Dino-Land a must-do area to visit but you never know. WDW News Today has further details on this new attraction.
The simply awful Chester and Hester’s Dino-RamaMinnie Van Service
This is now available at all Walt Disney World Resorts. In our opinion, this service remains far too expensive but the accessible vehicles are a useful option for those who are using ECVs or wheelchairs.
We have also just updated our Guide to Walt Disney World Without a Car which has further details on the Minnie Van Service.

The Incredible Tomorrowland Expo
The Magic Kingdom seems pretty quiet this summer. However, one new seasonal event is the Incredible Tomorrowland Expo.
Guests will party with Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone. For the first time, guests will get to see Edna Mode, the greatest superhero costume designer. Characters will interact with guests throughout the land. And the festivities culminate with a “SUPER” dance party on the Rocket Tower Stage”.
