And while Downtown Disney will be moving forward with its plans to welcome back guests starting this Thursday, the other Disneyland Resort reopenings have been delayed.

Since it is unknown when Disney’s Californian Hotel and Disney’s Paradise Pier Resort will reopen, we chatted with a Disneyland Resort Cast Member who confirmed these hotels are no longer accepting new bookings for the month of July. The earliest new reservation you can now make is August 1st. It is also still unknown when the Disneyland Hotel will reopen.

The Cast Member also informed us that the standard reservation cancellation policy has been re-instated.

Previously, the policy stated Disney would waive cancellation fees through July 22nd. Now the policy says they will work with guests that may have been impacted by the closure with no specific date listed. As of today, here’s how Disneyland Resort’s cancellation fee policy now reads on its website.

NEWS! Resort Hotel Booking is Currently Unavailable On the Disneyland Website

Earlier today, Disneyland Resort released a reopening proposal!

If the proposal is approved by state and local governments, Downtown Disney will open July 9, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure will open July 17, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel &  Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will reopen July 23 (Disneyland Hotel will remain closed initially).

NOTE — This issue appears to be resolved. The Grand Californian and Paradise Pier are currently able to be booked on the Disneyland website.

When the news was released, Disneyland placed a temporary pause on new ticket sales, Annual Pass sales, and renewals. And now, it appears that hotel bookings are currently unavailable on the Disneyland website as well!

We noticed an error message on the page for Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa that indicates booking is currently unavailable. Even if we attempted to search for availability several months in the future, we were cycled back to this same page.

And we ran into the same situation when we checked Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel.

We were also unable to book Good Neighbor hotels on the Disneyland website, BUT we were still able to make reservations for Good Neighbor locations directly through those hotel’s websites. We’ll keep you posted on any new info as it’s released.

Have you stayed at any of the Disneyland Resort hotels? Let us know in the comments!

This is a major milestone in the recovery of Anaheim, California and our nation. We know Disney will be able to meet the challenge of reopening safely, and Anaheim stands ready to see that happen.”
