While Disney World is prepping for its July 11th reopening and has just sold-out its Special Annual Passholder Preview Event, it could be a while before we see one of our favorite Disney musicals on Broadway again.

Instead of resuming productions in September (as they’d originally projected) it seems more likely that Broadway’s stages could remain empty until 2021.

According to a recent New York Times article, performances are now unlikely to resume for the remainder of 2020. The famous theatre district comprised of 41 theaters has remained closed since mid-March and now the Broadway League has stated theater owners and producers will refund or exchange tickets previously purchased for shows through January 3rd, 2021.

“Returning productions are currently projected to resume performances over a series of rolling dates in early 2021,” the League released in a statement. Thus far, the Disney musical Frozen, which had opened in 2018 has already announced it’s played its last show and will not be returning.

With the guidance of local health and government officials, Broadway productions are working on reopening procedures that will involve, “screening and testing, cleaning and sanitizing, wayfinding inside theaters, backstage protocols and much more.”

“I’m cautiously optimistic, with the latest information that we’re getting from scientists and medical professionals, that we’re getting close to some protocols that would work in New York and on the road,” Charlotte St. Martin, the League’s president, stated in an interview. “As long as they hold up, I do think that after the first of the year, a rolling rollout of shows reopening is possible.”

Here’s EVERYTHING You Need to Know About the Disney World Annual Passholder Previews!

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 29, 2020

Just moments ago, registration for Disney World’s Special Annual Passholder Preview Event went LIVE!

Main Street, U.S.A.

And even though the event has already filled up, we’re back to share all the important details you’ll need to know if you’re going!

Previously, Disney World announced July 9th and July 10th as the dates of its Annual Passholder previews at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom giving APs an opportunity to visit the parks BEFORE they reopened to the general public on July 11th and 15th.

Passholder Entrance

Weekday Select, Theme Park Select, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus, and Premier Passholders were all eligible to register for the AP previews, and we learned a few new SUPER-important details when we snagged out spots today!

Magic Kingdom

You Needed to Choose…

Annual Passholders could only register for ONE day (either July 9th or 10th) and ONE park (either Magic Kingdom or Disney’s Animal Kingdom) meaning you COULDN’T attend both previews. Registration was fairly simple. Guests selected the day and park they would like to attend the preview for, attached guests, and then confirmed. Keep in mind, you couldn’t make modifications after registering.

Entrance to Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Spots Were Limited

Even though reservations to attend the Special Annual Passholder Preview Event are required, spots were limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis. You needed to have an activated annual pass for AP preview registration and if you wished to bring a guest, they also needed to have an active annual pass.

Note: once you added a guest to your reservation, the system would not allow them to register themselves for the Annual Passholder preview.

What You’ll Need to Bring

If you were able to snag a spot to one of the Annual Passholder preview, do note that each person must bring their Annual Pass and a government-issued photo ID with them. You’ll also need to bring a copy of your confirmation page.

Passholders should expect to receive additional emails from Disney for their reservation 3 to 5 days prior to the event and if guests are planning on staying at a Disney Resort hotel, regular Disney transportation will not be available. Guests will need to provide their own transportation to and from the theme parks.

Disney World’s Bus System Will Not Be Fully Operational During AP Previews

Keep in mind, you will need to bring your own face covering which must be worn by everyone (ages 2 and up) at all times, except when dining or swimming.

And while Disney World has released some details about which restaurants, shops, and attractions will be open starting July 11th, some experiences may be limited or modified during the Annual Passholder previews.

A little over an hour ago, Annual Passholders began receiving emails for the registration of the Disney World reopening Passholder Previews.

Annual Passholder Invite

Passholders apparently rushed to their accounts to secure their spots for the preview days in Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 9th and 10th. Now, in what feels like no time, BOTH Passholder Preview days are full.

If you attempt to register for the Disney World reopening previews now, you will be directed to this screen that notes “Event Is Full.”

Event is Full

Wow! It seems like the event booked up in almost no time. If you weren’t lucky enough to get a spot at the preview, you’ll have to wait just a few more days to the official reopening so that you can get in.

Did you get a spot in the previews or were you left hanging? Tell us in the comments!

It’s time to get out your eating pants!

Hush Puppy Benedict

Disney Springs has been slowly but surely reopening and that means we’ve gotten the chance to return to some of our favorite dining spots. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ reopened just last week and we were SO excited to check out the take-home moonshine and get an interview with Chef Art. Now, we’ve got even MORE Homecomin’ news — Rise and Shine Brunch is coming BACK!

The team at Homecomin’ announced this morning that we can expect to see the return of Homecomin’ brunch THIS WEEKEND. Starting Sunday, July 5th, brunch will be an option again. Keep in mind that for the time-being, brunch will only be available on Sunday.

House-made Donuts

That means we’ll be able to get our hands on Fried Chicken & Doughnuts or the Hush Puppy Benedict SOON. Homecomin’ brunch seriously has some of our favorite breakfast bites ever.

Potato Gratin Mash

We definitely recommend reservations, but you can head to brunch between 10AM and 1PM on Sundays going forward. We’ll see you there!

Will you be headed to the return of Rise & Shine Brunch? Tell us in the comments!
