Disney has officially enacted its long-anticipated ticket refund policy update, marking a rare moment of increased flexibility at one resort. Refunds aren’t easy to come by at a Disney park.

For a park that’s long been treated as untouchable, Magic Kingdom is suddenly changing fast—and not in small, easy-to-miss ways.
