Disney World to open Additional Resorts in the coming months

News just released today about when we can expect additional resorts to open at Walt Disney World in the coming months.

Please note, that given the fluidity of the current environment, these dates are subject to change and Guests’ reservations could still be modified to other resort hotels if needed.

• July 10 – Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• July 29 – Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
• Aug. 12 – Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
• Aug. 24 – Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts
• Sept. 21 – Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
• Oct. 1 – Disney’s BoardWalk Resort
• Oct. 14 – Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

Guests with current reservations at impacted Disney Resort hotels can request help with modifying their reservation starting Monday, June 22nd. Reservations for stays in 2021 will begin booking on Wednesday, June 24th.  Only guests with a valid theme park ticket or Annual Pass will be able to access the Disney Park Pass reservation system.

Given the current situation, there are some resort hotels and other areas that are not, as of this time, being scheduled for reopening yet. We will continue to evaluate the situation and reopen more locations when the environment is right to do so.

While these plans may evolve, Disney will be monitoring the constantly changing health environment and its impact on the state of Florida as we find the right time to welcome back even more of our Guests and Cast Members.

Last month we shared news about the first Disney World Resorts opening starting this week. You can check them out here.

We’ve seen a bunch of cool merch at Disney’s Days of Christmas in Disney Springs recently — including Ear Hat ornaments inspired by some of our favorite Epcot attractions!

It looks like this Baby Yoda plush isn’t the only Star Wars merch that’s super popular!

Baby Yoda Plush

We headed to Disney Springs today to see what’s happening. And the Rock N’ Roll Brunch and re-opened to-go window at City Works weren’t the only things giving us the warm and fuzzies!

We spotted these fuzzy Chewbacca Youth Socks at World of Disney — and they must be a hot commodity because there was only one pair left when we found them!

Chewbacca Socks

The Chewie pattern continues all the way around the sock!

You can grab a pair of these socks for $9.99 — if there are any left to get your hands on!

Here are some places you can find the ultra-popular Baby Yoda plush OUTSIDE of Disney World!

Capture your magical moments with Disney’s PhotoPass service!

We are two weeks away of the reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort on July 11th! And while these are very exciting news, there are some changes that need to be make in order to have a magical and safe experience for everyone.

That’s why Disney’s PhotoPass service will have some temporary adjustments:

• Handling guest’s personal devices: Photographers will not handle any personal devices like cellphones or cameras.
• Photo prop usage: Photo pros will be throughly cleaned between guests. For selected props, the photographer may request that you stand next to or behind the program without making contact with it. They will capture these photos with the best angles and perspective in mind.
• Photo linking: Before taking pictures, make sure to have your MagicBand or card ready so the photographer can scan the code and link your photos to your account. This will be made maintaining social distancing during the process.

These adjustments will help to promote physical distancing and reduce contact while still capturing all your vacation memories!
