As Walt Disney World continues its aggressive implementation of the MyMagic+ program, two important changes begin to impact theme park and resort guests. 

Owners of Apple devices can begin planning their Disney Vacation Club points stays for the 2015 calendar year.

Walt Disney World will soon begin to enforce strict operating hours for feature pools located at all hotels and Disney Vacation Club villa resorts.
