Guests at Disney’s Beach Club Resort This Summer Will Have Access to a New Amenity!

If you have a room booked at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, make sure you check this out!

Beach Club Resort in Disney World

Yesterday, Disney dropped A TON of information about what Disney World will look like when it reopens! We learned which restaurants will reopen on June 22nd, where we can experience a modified Character Dining experience, changes to the Disney World Resort hotel experience, and more.

Speaking of changes to Disney World Resort hotel experiences, when the news first dropped last night, it was announced that Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club resorts will not be available during the initial reopening period, and guests at this hotel may visit the leisure pool at Disney’s Beach Club Villas.

But wait, there’s more! Disney has now updated the information stating that guests staying at Beach Club may also use the Luna Park Pool and leisure pool at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas.

So, even though Stormalong Bay won’t be available initially, Beach Club guests now have a new pool to check out!

There’s Still a Way to Book a Room on Disney World Property Right Now!

Disney World has just dropped SO much resort news, our heads are still spinning a bit.

Beach Club Resort

On top of new dining stipulations at the resorts and the virtual chat option on My Disney Experience for guests, stays at the hotels are about to see some huge changes when they re-open. But if you don’t currently have a hotel reservation, Disney World Resort currently isn’t accepting new ones.

At this time, Disney World is focusing on guests who already have reservations and has temporarily halted new bookings. These guests will be given priority access to the new theme park reservation system, and we filled you in on the fact that Disney’s Swan and Dolphin and Shades of Green Resorts would be included in that set group.

Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resort

Even though Disney will not be allowing guests to make new reservations at its hotels during this time, we did find a way you can still stay on property! Since the Swan and Dolphin Resorts are Sheraton hotels and partners with Disney, you can still book those resorts through Marriott’s website!

The Swan and Dolphin’s website currently list their closure as lasting through July 5th, but it IS possible to book a stay starting on July 1st. And both the Swan and Dolphin Resorts show booking windows throughout Disney World’s theme parks re-opening on July 11th and July 15th.

Availability may change depending on which room you choose to stay in at the resorts. Right now, there are multiple levels of rooms listed for booking.

If you book a room at either the Swan or Dolphin Resort, you can copy the confirmation number and link into the hotel reservation section on My Disney Experience.

For those that don’t have an existing hotel reservation, and want to book at Disney World for when the parks re-open, booking through the Marriott directly will still give you access to the perks of on-site guests, including first access to the new theme park reservation system. However, keep in mind that availability could always change and staying on property does NOT guarantee theme park admission. As Disney starts to roll out more information about resort reservations and the parks, we’ll continue to keep you updated!

Here’s all the information you need to know about Disney World’s re-opening procedures!

Do you have plans to visit Disney World when the parks re-open? Let us know in the comments below!

We’ve Gotten a LITTLE Hint About the NBA’s Housing at Disney World!

The NBA has OFFICIALLY made an agreement with Disney World that it will resume its season on July 31st with a 22-team format!

NBA Experience

While we know the playoffs are coming to Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports, there hasn’t been a definite answer regarding where the players will stay when the season begins after the parks’ grand re-opening.

According to a recent report from ESPN, NBA players will be “contained to three specific hotels within the Disney complex.” While there is no definitive statement about which resorts the players will be staying at, there IS information regarding how the players would be following health and safety protocols on Disney property.

NBA Experience

The players will be tested every night and receive the results in the morning.

NBA Teams Playing

Players who test positive will be quarantined for a minimum of seven days. If a team is required to pull in another player from an inactive roster, the NBA would have that player quarantine for a week prior to joining practices and games.

ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex

While NBA and Disney have come to an agreement regarding the season, there are still plenty of details to work out surrounding how things will operate. But you know we’ll keep you updated!

Take a look at how the NBA was welcomed back in the most Disney way possible!

Will you be watching the NBA season when it picks back up in Disney World? Let us know in the comments below!

NEWS: Disney World Asking Guests To Change, Confirm, or Cancel Reservations Between June 22 and July 4th

It’s been a busy news day for Disney World!

Disney’s Contemporary Resort

While Disney Vacation Club (DVC) properties at Walt Disney World and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground are scheduled to reopen on June 22nd, Disney has not yet announced when the other hotels on property will reopen.

And based on experience from our team, it appears that Disney has started to send emails to guests with reservations at resorts which are not yet scheduled to reopen.

A member of our team currently has a reservation for Disney’s Contemporary Resort with a check-in date of July 1st. The subject line of the email indicates that action is required.

The message then informs us that there will be a number of operational changes in place, and asks the reader to review these changes and then confirm, modify, or cancel the reservation.

©Disney

The email also states that if the guest holds a reservation at a hotel that will not be open, Disney is able to help modify the reservation.

©Disney

At the end of the email, there is a blue button that guests can click to review and confirm their reservation. It indicates that action is required by June 12th.

©Disney

Upon clicking the review and confirm button, we were taken to a page that provided us with the option to confirm, modify, or cancel the reservation.

©Disney

When we selected the option to confirm the reservation, we received the following message.

©Disney

When we selected the option to modify the reservation, we received a message that it could not be modified online, and we would need to call Disney.

©Disney

As our team member holds a reservation at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, which is not among the first group of hotels to reopen, we will continue to provide updates about our experience with the modified reservation!

Get ALL the details about Disney World’s reopening proposal here.

NEWS: Disney World Will Launch A NEW Perk for Hotel Guests on June 22nd!

WOW! We’ve just shared a ton of info about all the updates form Disney World about their reopening procedures.

Disney’s Grand Floridian

We told you about updates to dining, new procedures for hotels, how to even get IN a Disney hotel, transportation modifications, and more. Now, we’re sharing info about a new feature for resort guests that will be rolled out on June 22nd.

Thanks to theme park reporter Scott Gustin (@ScottGustin) for posting news that Disney is making a bunch of changes. We know know from Disney World’s website that Disney is encouraging guests to skip the front desk when they check in and out of their resorts, but they will still be providing a way for guests to get assistance like they would normally from the front desk.

Starting June 22nd, guests will be able to access a way to virtually chat with Resort Cast Members via the My Disney Experience app. 

Screenshot from Disney

Guests won’t need to wait at the front desk of their resort to ask questions about their stay. Disney even notes that the service will be available “nearly anytime” guests would require it. We’ll keep you updated on this service as we learn more.
