Disney’s VERY Detailed Survey Looks for Guests’ Experiences at the Newly Re-Opened Hotels!

As Disney World’s Resorts have started to re-open, we’ve headed back to explore the pools, say hello to characters, dine at some of our favorite spots, and shop ’till we drop!

Bay Lake Tower

Although the resorts were relatively empty when we visited, we still noticed a lot of changes put in place around the hotels. Since this is an unprecedented situation, Disney is looking to continue making every experience better and safer for guests visiting Disney World.

After our stay at Disney’s Bay Lake Tower, we received an extremely detailed survey about our experience at the resort. While it may seem long (it took a bit of time to complete!), these surveys help Disney continue to expand upon their existing guidelines and create new ones based on the feedback they are given.

Resort Re-Opening Survey

The resort re-opening survey took the time to ask questions about the guests’ perception of the cleanliness in the rooms (which now feature plastic around many of the high-touch objects)…

…allowing you to provide comments along the way about why you gave certain questions a specific rating.

Cleanliness in public areas was also an important point to Walt Disney World…

…as well as the health and safety measures that were in place at the resorts. As we explored, the biggest surprise to us was that the hotels aren’t requiring temperature checks at the moment.

There were also questions about guests’ views on specific health and safety measures, like distancing, face masks, and hand-washing and hand-sanitizing stations.

The survey went on to ask permission to use information obtained from our MagicBand or theme park ticket so they can use answers to our questions that best pertained to our experiences.

Since there is now the ability to use Mobile Check-in, Disney wanted to know if we skipped in-person visitation…

…and if we had to talk to the Front Desk for assistance (even though our experience with the new virtual chat feature was kind of a mess).

We also thought it was interesting that Disney wanted feedback on our virtual experiences after we used multiple online features, like Mobile Dine Check-in.

At the end of the survey, we were asked about safety and security at the Disney Resorts.

Since the ball is rolling with Disney World’s phased re-opening, we’re curious to see how the resorts incorporate the feedback from these surveys into their everyday operations. As more resorts start to re-open around the property, there could always be changes made and new guidelines put in place to better assist guests and Cast Members.

BREAKING NEWS: These Disney World Restaurants Will Be OPEN Starting June 22nd!

Big news, everybody! We now know MORE about the return of our beloved Disney World restaurants!

Beaches and Cream

Disney World theme parks are set to begin a phased reopening on July 11th, but at the end of this month, signs of guest life will begin returning to Disney World. Disney Vacation Club Resorts and Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will reopen on June 22nd. Now, Disney has released the list of ALL of the RESTAURANTS that will be opening that day!

Many dining experiences will be unavailable and the ones that are open will be modified with new health measures. Here’s everything that’s opening on June 22nd!

Disney’s Contemporary Resort

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Contemporary Resort include:

The Wave…of American Flavors Entrance

We can’t wait to get back to those yummy cupcakes at Contempo Café, but we can’t say we’re not a little bummed that California Grill won’t be reopening at first!

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge include:

Whispering Canyon Cafe

Many of our favorite options are reopening at Wilderness Lodge! It will be nice to watch the sunset from Geyser Point Bar & Grill once more.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge include:

Animal Kingdom Lodge

If you know us, you know we love Sanaa. Butter Chicken, here we come!

Disney’s Beach Club Resort

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Beach Club Resort include:

No Way Jose

Beaches and Cream Soda Shop just reopened from renovation a couple months prior to the closure, so returning guests will get to enjoy the newly-updated space.

For more info on the Beaches and Cream renovation, click here!

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s BoardWalk Inn include:

Disney’s BoardWalk

Keep in mind that most Character Dining options will not be returning when the parks reopen. So don’t expect to hang with Rapunzel and Flynn Rider at Trattoria al Forno’s Bon Voyage Breakfast.

Didn’t know you could meet Flynn Rider in a restaurant? Click here!

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground include:

Welcome to Fort Wilderness!

You’ll notice that many buffet options, like Trail’s End Restaurant, will remain closed for the time being.

Disney’s Old Key West Resort

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Old Key West Resort include:

Olivia’s Cafe

Oh yeah, Key Lime Pie, we’re coming for you!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort include:

Polynesian Lava You

We had our fingers crossed for ‘Ohana since the meals are served family-style, but it looks like no dice! And, you can go ahead and scratch out the time you had planned to stand in line for Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. At least we can soothe our woes with some Dole Whip concoctions.

Dreaming of Dole Whip, click here!

Disney’s Riviera Resort

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Riviera Resort include:

Disney’s Riviera Resort

Here’s a win: ALL of the dining options at the new Riviera Resort will be reopening! Topolino’s Terrace will even have their character dining — just with some changes.

Click here for our FULL REVIEW of the character breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace!

Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort include:

Beef and Egg Thin Crust Pie

You may not be sitting down at Turf Club Bar & Grill at Saratoga Springs, but you’ll still have your fair share of dining options.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

The reopening restaurants in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort include:

The Library at Enchanted Rose

Of course, we’re excited to see that many of the dining locations are open at Grand Floridian, but it definitely makes us sad that none of the fancy table-service restaurants are opening. That means no 1900 Park Fare, no Narcoossee’s, no Citricos, and no Victoria & Albert’s initially.

There you have it! That’s all of the reopening options coming back to Disney World before the end of the month. As of right now, reservations aren’t open for these spots, but we’ll be sure to update when they are. We’ll keep an eye out for any changes to the list, too!
