Vahle also shared a photo of the horses escorting the Dragon Calliope — a horse-drawn musical instrument that Walt Disney purchased in 1955 to use in Disneyland parades — to its new home.

Select Disney Vacation Club Villas and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground are set to reopen on June 22nd. For those Disney guests with reservations between the reopening of resorts and the reopening of the parks, there are a lot of questions.

Now, Disney is reaching out to guests to help in modifying, canceling, or CONFIRMING reservations — even for those booked at closed resorts.

Disney will be reaching out to guests with resort hotel reservations with DEPARTURE dates June 11th or earlier. These guests will be asked to confirm, modify, or cancel their reservations with a response requested by July 25th.

Those who are wishing to confirm and who are booked at a hotel that is NOT opening will be moved to an open resort at no additional cost, but they CANNOT choose where they will stay.

Guests wishing to modify to a date on or after the parks open on July 11th may only move their booking to one of the announced open resorts and they WILL be responsible for the difference in price.

Disney has suspended new hotel reservations and ticket sales to assure that guests who already have reservations will be able to keep them while Disney is limiting capacity.

We know this is a crazy time and all of this information can be REALLY confusing, so if you have any questions, please let us know! Keep an eye on DFB for all of the latest updates regarding impacted reservations and the reopening of Disney World.

NEWS! Walt Disney World Hotels Reopening DATES and Details Announced

This morning Disney World presented a proposal for a phased reopening of the parks starting July 11th.

Disney’s Riviera Resort

Disney’s proposal included a lot of details about the expectations for reopening, but it did not touch on the reopening dates for resorts or Disney Vacation Club Properties. Shortly after the presentation though, Disney posted reopening dates for Disney Vacation Club properties at Disney World and more. Here are all of the current details.

Disney has shared that “pending approval from government officials, the phased reopening plans we submitted calls for Walt Disney World theme parks and Disney Resort hotels to open beginning July 11 for Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom followed by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15.”

According to the Disney World website, Disney Vacation Club (DVC) properties at Walt Disney World and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will begin to reopen to members and guests on June 22nd. DVC properties in Vero Beach, Florida, and Hilton Head, South Carolina will reopen on June 15th.

As of now, Disney has not released information on whether all of the resorts will open at once in Disney World or if they will open in phases. Regardless, they note that Disney resort hotel offerings may be modified, limited in capacity, and subject to availability or closure.

Welcome to Fort Wilderness!

Disney has also shared that they are temporarily pausing new ticket sales and Disney Resort hotel reservations so that they can focus on those with existing tickets and reservations at this time. DVC members can still make new reservations. “Existing ticket holders and Annual Passholders will be able to make reservation requests in phases before new tickets are sold; we’ll be reaching out to these guests soon to provide additional details.” Ticket sales and hotel reservations will resume after this period of time.
