If you have ever wanted to head to Walt Disney World or if you are looking for a reason to head back to Walt Disney World, here are the top 18 reasons to visit in 2018.<\/p>\n

2018 will see the opening of Toy Story Land<\/a>. \u00a0This new land coming to Hollywood Studios will include two new rides for guests to enjoy. \u00a0Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers will bring excitement back to Hollywood Studios in 2018. \u00a0Although we don\u2019t know the exact date, many are predicting sometime in May for this new land to open.<\/p>\n

Disney Springs<\/a> continues to open new restaurants which will bring great fun to everyone in 2018. \u00a0Some that are already open are The Edison, Mario & Enzo\u2019s Ristorante<\/a>, Enzo\u2019s Hideaway Tunnel Bar, Pizza Ponte.<\/a> Other restaurants slated to open include Wine Bar George, Jaleo and a new Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill. \u00a0So many options to choose from will bring some great meals for guests to enjoy in 2018.<\/p>\n

Fun transportation<\/a> is another reason to visit Disney in 2018. \u00a0Minnie Vans<\/a> debuted in 2017 giving guests personal transportation around Disney property in fun, Minnie designed vans. \u00a0It would seem like this service will continue to grow throughout the 2018 year giving guests more options when it comes to scheduling dining reservations throughout Disney property.<\/p>\n

This one seems obvious, but it isn\u2019t going to get any cheaper to go. \u00a0Prices continue to increase each year at Disney so if you want to save some money, 2018 is the time to go as it isn\u2019t going to be any cheaper than it is right now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pirates of the Caribbean<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year rides go through refurbishments<\/a> at Walt Disney World. \u00a0Many have been completed already or will be done in early 2018 making 2018 a great time to visit and see these rides at their finest. \u00a0Mission Space<\/a> is one example that has been revisited. \u00a0Other rides that are seeing a fresh coat of paint and a quick update are Pirates of the Caribbean<\/a>, Splash Mountain<\/a>, and The Hall of Presidents<\/a>. \u00a0Knowing these will be done here soon makes it a great time to head down and visit these rides.<\/p>\n

In Animal Kingdom, 2018 will bring a new UP themed show. \u00a0Taking over for Flights of Wonder<\/a>, this new show featuring Russell and Dug will take adventurers on a great show.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n

2018 will bring the 20th Anniversary celebration to Disney’s Animal Kingdom<\/a>. \u00a0Opening on Earth Day in 1998, Animal Kingdom on April 22nd, 2018 will celebrate 20 years. \u00a0If you are a family of Animal Kingdom, nature or just celebrations in general this will be something you won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Happily Ever After\u00a0(Photo by Rikki Niblett)<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Another great reason to head down to Disney in 2018 is because there is always something new to see and experience. \u00a0Even if you have been every year, Disney constantly offers new experiences for guests. \u00a0Some examples of recent new experiences are Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom, a new dessert party experience in Epcot, fun meet and greets with characters such as Star Lord, baby Groot, characters from Cars 3 and more. \u00a0Disney knows that new and exciting experiences will continue to bring guests back over and over and they aren\u2019t wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Birthday Fun in Disney<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have something to celebrate in 2018? \u00a0Walt Disney World is a great place to do this together with friends and family members. \u00a0From birthdays and anniversaries to graduations and baby announcements Walt Disney World is a magical place to celebrate these experiences.<\/p>\n

As mentioned before, there is always new things to experience at Walt Disney World. \u00a0On the flip side of this, you never know when your favorite ride, show, restaurant or experience might be removed or adjusted. \u00a0You don\u2019t want to let 2018 go by without experience your favorite one last time. \u00a0Last year the Great Movie Ride and Ellen\u2019s Energy Adventure were all closed quickly with little warning. \u00a0Don\u2019t let another year go by without visiting your favorite one last time, just in case.<\/p>\n\n

2018 won\u2019t only be cheaper than 2019, but it will also be less busy. \u00a0Star Wars Land<\/a> will be opening in 2019 and will bring in extreme crowds. \u00a0Not just the Disney fans will be flocking to these new experiences, but Star War fans around the world are predicted to head to Florida to take in this new land. \u00a0Get there before the crowds do and head to Disney in 2018.<\/p>\n

A sports fan? \u00a02018 has seen the opening of the new ESPN complex at ESPN World Wide of Sports. \u00a0This complex will be host to basketball courts, volleyball courts and numerous dance and cheer competitions. \u00a0Seating for 8,000 will bring many spectators to these events. \u00a0If you are a sports fan, this is something you won\u2019t want to miss out on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Caribbean Beach Resort<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout Disney resorts new improvements are being made. \u00a0\u00a0Renovated rooms have started to open up to guests at Pop Century, Yacht Club and Caribbean Beach Resort. \u00a0Be the first to stay in these new and improved rooms.<\/p>\n

2018 will see changes to the Walt Disney World dining plans<\/a>. \u00a0New for 2018 is the addition of alcoholic drinks for those 21 and older. \u00a0Take advantage this new option at quick service and table service restaurants throughout the Walt Disney World property.<\/p>\n

It was just recently announced that some of the Disney good neighbor hotels wills start to receive perks in 2018. \u00a0At select hotels off Disney property, guest will be able to take advantage of dining and FastPass+ reservations at the 180 and 60 day marks typically saved for those staying at a Walt Disney World Resort. \u00a0Guests at these select hotels will also be able to take advantage of extra magic hours. \u00a02018 will be a great time to visit Disney as there are even more options for resorts.<\/p>\n

Walt Disney World will allow you to have an all inclusive vacation. \u00a0With the three different dining plans offered at Walt Disney World, guests are able to experience an all inclusive trip. \u00a0When booking a Disney vacation, you can include your resort, tickets and food all in. \u00a0This allows you to head down to Disney all prepaid and ready to enjoy the magic.<\/p>\n

2018 will be a great time to visit those unique Epcot events. \u00a0 The Epcot International Festival of the Arts<\/a> has returned in 2018 for guests to experience once again a mixture of art and food in one. \u00a0Also, don\u2019t forget those Epcot favorites such as Epcot\u2019s International Food and Wine Festival<\/a> and Epcot\u2019s International Flower and Garden Festival<\/a>. \u00a0These annual events are great reasons to head down to Walt Disney World to experience unique food and experiences at Epcot.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t want to miss Mickey\u2019s Very Merry Christmas Party<\/a> and Mickey\u2019s Not So Scary Halloween Party<\/a> in 2018. \u00a0These annual events in Magic Kingdom are a great reason to head down to Walt Disney World. \u00a0Experience the smells, sounds and sights of the seasons during these magical times of the year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Family Magic<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main reason to head to Disney in 2018 is to experience the magic. \u00a0There is no where else you can experience to joy and happiness like you will in Walt Disney World. \u00a0As you experience that favorite ride for the first time or the 100th time, you won\u2019t regret a trip to the happiest place on Earth in 2018.<\/p>\n
