Dark Arts at Hogwarts™ Castle & Death Eaters return to Island's of Adventure! 🤩

Guests will come face to face with Death Eaters™ - devoted followers of Lord Voldemort™ known for their allegiance and practice of the Dark Arts - as they appear and eerily roam and lurk throughout Hogsmeade™.

Then, guests will watch as "Dark Arts at Hogwarts™ Castle" unleashes the unspeakable creatures and sinister villains of the Wizarding World - including Dementors™, Mountain Trolls and even a visage of Lord Voldemort™ - on Hogwarts™ castle until the Patronus spell - a powerful defense against the Dark Arts charm - is cast."

Dreamers, if you have a Disney World Vacation booked, you might've noticed that starting today, your Park Pass Reservations look different than before!

This is a new update that's been designed to make the system easier to work with as your Disney World plans develop!

All guests can now modify their theme park reservations, including dates, park and party members (subject to availability), rather than having to cancel and re-book.

Guests may also now book theme park reservations with different admission types – so whether you’re an Annual Passholder, date-based ticket holder or visiting with a Cast Member, you can all make your reservations at one time.
