As we warned you on Saturday, new Walt Disney World annual passes were indeed introduced this weekend. Walt Disney World’s official website offers a breakdown of the four new passes: Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Platinum Plus –
The main differences are really in the block out dates. Silver retains the blockout dates of the former Seasonal Annual Pass, while Gold will not allow access during the Christmas season and the peak of Spring Break season. Silver is the only of the passes above that does not offer PhotoPass downloads, but it does now offer free parking at the Walt Disney World theme parks.
Parking around the resort also saw an increase overnight. Basic parking at theme parks is now $20, while valet at the resort hotels is $10 for the first two hours and $20 for 3 or more.
The bicoastal Premier Passport also saw a large price increase, now $1439.00 plus tax.
Starting tomorrow, gone will be the Seasonal, Premium, and standard Walt Disney World annual passes. WDW is introducing three new passes and new benefits for guests who have them beginning Sunday, October 4th, 2015.
The new annual passes will come in Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Silver will essentially be the Seasonal annual pass, Gold the regular annual pass, and Platinum will replace the Premium annual pass.
Amongst the changes to the benefits of each pass, Gold and Platinum passes now include complimentary PhotoPass downloads.
We were not able to uncover any other details yet, but they should be public as of tomorrow. Stay tuned for more details.
Beginning October 16, guests visiting Disney Parks will be able to catch a preview of scenes from “The Good Dinosaur” in sneak peeks at Disney California Adventure park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
At Disney California Adventure park, “The Good Dinosaur” preview will be presented at the Bug’s Life Theater with special in-theater effects. Guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will get to see this advance look at clips from the film, as part of the Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream attraction on Mickey Avenue.
The film will replace the One Man’s Dream film until December 4th, then the original film will return on December 5th, 2015 for Walt’s Birthday. Rumor has it the film may make a digital conversion since The Good Dinosaur clips would not be shown on the very old projectors inside the Walt Disney Theater.
“The Good Dinosaur” opens in theaters on November 25, 2015.

From Collider:
We’ve heard rumblings over the years of minimal movement on Enchanted 2, but now sources tell us that the project is seriously heating up over at the Mouse House. Anne Fletcher (“The Proposal”) remains attached to direct, and the studio is now in the process of punching up the script with the hopes that it will be in greenlight-ready shape very soon. What’s more, we know the current working title: “Disenchanted”.
Story details remain under wraps, and it’s still unclear exactly which cast members will return. Amy Adams led a cast that included James Marsden, Patrick Dempsey, and Susan Sarandon in the first film and she has been enthusiastic about reprising her lead role over the years. Enchanted was a wonderful showcase of her talents, as she was able to bring the traditionally naïve “Disney princess” archetype to reality with shades of dimension and show off her formidable singing pipes in the process.
