disney world

As part of Disney’s plans for a phased reopening of Walt Disney World Resort, select Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will begin to reopen to Guests on June 22, 2020.

Guests may be receiving email communication from Disney if they have a Resort hotel booking between June 22, 2020, and July 4, 2020. Guests will need to confirm, modify, or cancel their reservations by June 12, 2020.

For guests wishing to confirm their reservations:

  • Contact the Disney Reservation Center to notify Disney of Guest’s confirmation.
  • As needed, guests will be moved from closed to open resorts during this time. This move will be at no additional cost to guests. Note that they won’t have an option to modify to another resort of their choosing for this reservation.
  • As previously communicated, for Guests who had a dining plan, Disney will be modifying their package to remove the dining plan.
  • If guests staying in Disney resorts before park opening on July 11, 2020, want to keep their reservation, they will be downgraded out of the ticket package and the package price will be reduced. Alternately, they can move their reservation to new dates, or cancel.

For Guests wishing to modify their reservations to a future date in 2020:

  • Contact the Disney Reservation Center to modify the booking to a later date in 2020.
  • If guests would like to modify to a date on or after July 11, 2020, they may only modify to one of the announced opened resorts, based on availability. Guests will be responsible for any higher rates.
  • Travel protection may be moved to a new reservation in 2020. The Guest will be responsible for any difference in price.

For Guests wishing to cancel their reservations:

  • Contact the Disney Reservation Center to notify Disney of the cancellation.

Below is a sample email being sent to guests:

“Returning to a World of Magic

Though some of our experiences have changed, the magic never fades. It never wavers. And it’s still waiting for you to come and experience it. That’s why we are excited about your upcoming stay at a Disney Resort hotel.

But to help you confirm if now is still the right time for your visit, please review the following operational updates and contact your Travel Professional to confirm, modify or cancel your upcoming visit.

Here are a few of the changes:

HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES

While visiting Walt Disney World Resort, all Guests ages 2 and older—along with all Cast Members—will be required to wear face coverings. To learn more about this and other measures we have put in place, visit here.

THEME PARKS & EXPERIENCES

Our Theme Parks and Water Parks will still be closed during your travel dates. We will begin a phased re-opening on July 11. However, Disney Springs is currently in a phased re-opening with many retail and dining locations ready to welcome you. For more information on locations open at Disney Springs, please visit here.

RESORTS

Many Disney Resort benefits and amenities may be temporarily unavailable. Select Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground will be open during your travel dates but other Disney Resort hotels will remain closed. Check here for the latest details.

If you have a reservation at a Disney Resort hotel that won’t be open during your travel dates or if you have a room and theme park ticket package, you can choose to modify your plans by contacting your Travel Professional.

DINING

During your stay, dining locations and experiences may be limited to manage capacity and foster physical distancing. To learn more about available dining options, visit here.

TRANSPORTATION

Resort transportation around the property will be available in a limited capacity to allow for physical distancing. Also, if you are arriving via Orlando International Airport, you may still take advantage of Disney’s Magical Express Service. Details here.

We know a stay here during this time will be different. But the world needs magic now more than ever. And we can’t wait to have you here with us. Hope to see you real soon!

Contact your Travel Professional to learn more about your reservation options and next steps.

Response requested by June 12, 2020.”

Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs Reopens with New Safety Measures

Amorette’s Patisserie

No trip to Disney Springs is complete without yummy Disney treats. For some of the best desserts around, there is no better option than Amorette’s Patisserie. However, due to the coronavirus closures, we have been deprived of our favorites baked goods for several weeks. But at last, as of Friday the 5th of June, they have reopened to the public!

Since suspending operations on March 17th, Disney Springs in Walt Disney World began a phased re-opening on May 20 of this year. Select stores and restaurants have been accessible since then, but notable others have remained closed. Amorette’s, on the Marketplace side of the Springs, is now welcoming back customers. They’ve implemented new safety measures for the health of their guests, starting with a masked employee to open entry and exit doors, reducing the need for people to touch handles. If germs on hands are still a concern, hand sanitizing stations are located in front of the entryway.

Upon entering, guests will notice social distancing markers on the floor where they are to line up and order. All employees are masked and gloved, and a partition adds an extra protective layer between Cast Members and customers at pay stations. Aside from that, Amorette’s remains largely the same, offering the same delicious treats we love.

Have you been to Amorette’s Patisserie since reopening? What beautiful dessert(s) will you be ordering first?

Vote for Hocus Pocus LEGO ideas featuring the Sanderson Sisters!

Here at Chip and co we love a LEGO ideas project and we are particularly loving this Hocus Pocus Lego idea, based upon the Sanderson Sisters and their spooky house! This incredible Hocus Pocus LEGO idea is based upon the spooky, fan-loving classic feature film, Hocus Pocus! Not only has the designer envisioned the legendary house but also included figures of the Sanderson Sisters, Mery, Winifred and Sarah! If you look close enough you might be able to find Thackery Binks as the black cat!

The designer “Enkia”, has titled this set Sanderson Sister’s Cottage! The designer clearly adores the movie as she wanted to share her love of magic as well as the ability to create the witch cottage with the three funny sisters!

The idea set contains a fully furnished two-floor cottage with all many magical accessories from the iconic movie, including the spellbook, black candle, brooms, magic potion and the famous flying hoover! The project contains 2070 lego parts with the three Sanderson Sisters and a easter egg… Thackery Binks in his Black Cat form! This iconic Hocus Pocus LEGO idea set will certainly ‘put a spell on you’!
