When I first launched my blog several weeks ago, my first post was the Awaken Summer media preview week at Walt Disney World for the new attractions and experiences coming soon. However though it was just a whole recap and touching on the details and talking about the attractions itself but no talk of official opening dates.
This post may be late towards the game but I am going to give you those brief opening dates and a ton of magical happenings and summer fun approaching in the next two months at the Walt Disney World Resort. Fastpasses were already made available for booking but probably by now have been sold out or made for later times on the opening days.
