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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

NEWS: Disney World Now Waiving Cancellation and Change Fees Through October 3rd

In addition to all the other news being shared by Disney World today referencing hotel stays, we’ve got a newly pushed back date for cancellation and change fee waivers.

Beach Club Resort in Disney World

Previously, Disney World had stated that cancellation and change fees on hotel reservations would be waived through “the end of the closures.” Now that we have a reopening date for the theme parks, Disney has also pushed back the its date allowing guests to update and modify — and even cancel — their reservations even further.

The powers that be at Disney World know that things are going to be very…DIFFERENT…at the parks and resorts in the coming months. As a result, they’re allowing guests a few more months to make up their minds about whether or not to take the plunge and travel to the parks this year.

Guests can now change or cancel their vacations up to October 3rd, 2020, without incurring a fee from Disney World.

Updated language on Disney World’s website

Note that if you’ve booked your Disney World vacation through a third party, cancellation, change fees, and deadlines may be different. Check with them directly for updates to change and cancellation fees.

We’ll be bringing you LOTS more information and details on the hotels and parks reopening here at DFB! Stay tuned, and don’t forget to join our newsletter!
