Whether we like it or not, 2024 is coming to a close and it’s time to take a look at everything Disney fans have gained and lost during the year. When you compare the number of things on both lists, you might be surprised to see that what’s opened is nearly tripled what we’ve lost.
A huge thank you to @Gusey over on our DISboards discussion forums for compiling this list for us!
