From the Desk of the Editor: Here’s What’s Inside the 150th Issue of WDW Magazine

by | Mar 24, 2026 | From Our Team, Inside WDW Magazine

The March 2026 issue of WDW Magazine represents the 150th in our regular publishing schedule. To celebrate this huge milestone, our issue is themed to the art of storytelling at Walt Disney World.

Tim here, Editorial Director of our print and digital magazines. And I’ve got some exciting news!

We’re getting ready to publish our 150th issue of WDW Magazine. In honor of this major milestone for our brand, our March 2026 issue of WDW Magazine is devoted to the art of storytelling at the parks and resorts of Walt Disney World, examining how Imagineers invite us to step inside our favorite Disney stories and become a part of the tales.

Below, I’ll show you what’s inside this issue, how to get a copy, and what else comes with your magazine membership.

What’s Inside Our 150th Issue?

Across the pages of our 150th issue, you’ll find stunning photos that transport you to Walt Disney World. It’s the best way to feel like you’re at Disney — without actually being at Disney.

These beautiful photos from our team of dedicated photographers all support the fantastic stories packed inside this issue, which take you behind the scenes of the Most Magical Place on Earth and help you experience the parks like never before.

  • Imagineering details inside Enchanted Tales with Belle
  • Our favorite fairy-tale restaurants, including Gaston’s Tavern and Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White

About Our Company

Our company has published magazines for more than 12 years. We started as a digital-only magazine, but over time, our readers overwhelmingly asked for something they could actually hold and flip through. And so we launched a print version of the magazine, which is our flagship publication today. (Find out why we believe print journalism is increasingly important these days.)

In March 2026, we ran our 150th issue of WDW Magazine. Along the way, we’ve printed additional special issues, such as our award-winning Haunted Mansion Attraction Special, the Magic Kingdom Day & Night Photo Collection, and last year’s Disney Cruise Special. In 2022, we launched DLR Magazine, and in spring 2026, we printed and shipped our very first issue of DCL Magazine.
