Disney World Dining Reservations

Disney has just changed the booking window for Disney World Dining Reservations on its website from a 180-day booking window to a 60-day booking window.

Disney World Dining Reservations

It reads:

We will also shift from a 180-day booking window to a 60-day booking window for dining and experience bookings going forward to allow Guests to make their plans closer to their visits.

We will reopen dining and experience bookings with more limited numbers closer to when the parks reopen.

We understand how much excitement, thought and time goes into planning a Disney vacation and realize some of these changes may be disappointing. Please know we will be here to help you, as we remain focused on delivering a wonderful experience for everyone who visits.

Please be sure to check back here for the latest information.

Our focus remains on the health and wellbeing of the entire Disney community—including the Cast Members who are caring for and securing our parks and Resorts during the closure. We’re currently evaluating new and enhanced safety measures to help us all stay well.

Last night all existing Dining Reservations were canceled, new reservations have been put on hold while Disney implements their new system.

Stay tuned to Chip and Co for more details…

Disneyland Paris Open Possibly in June!

If the news is true Disneyland Paris could possibly be open in June! After a week of good news regarding Disney Parks around the world either opening or publishing their plans for reopening, we are hoping for Disneyland Paris to also follow! Since the opening of Shanghai Disney and operating on a limited capacity appears positive, Disney Springs followed suit, with its social distancing plans! Likewise, this week, we have heard that Walt Disney World in Florida will open starting July 11th!

Disneyland Paris Open?

Whilst there has yet to be an official announcement regarding the reopening plans for Disneyland Paris. Some news reports have emerged that could allow both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park to open as soon as June 22nd!

According to DLP Report, they pose that Disneyland Paris could open shortly! Check out their tweet below:

Likewise, according to the French publication Le Monde, where Disneyland Paris is situated, the region shows “reassuring signs” for the popular venues to reopen! That the French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, classes the region as “orange” and that the region would “benefit from several relaxations, without the restrictions being completely lifted”- could this mean Disneyland Paris opening with similar socially distancing plans like Walt Disney World, including guests and cast members using face coverings? He also said that “the parks and gardens will be able to reopen, possibly subject to wearing a mask. The cafes will also welcome customers again, but only on the terrace. Theaters, performance halls, gymnasiums, swimming pools and sports halls will remain closed until June 21 inclusive”.

Similar to the rest of the World, there is a push for the reopening of many establishments in Paris and France, including Disneyland Paris as it is Europe’s top attraction. Likewise, Disneyland Paris is the largest single-site employer in France, employing 16,000-17,000 permanent employees and hiring on average 8,000 new employees annually! Like all of us here at Chip and Co, including our fans and Disney addicts, we would love to see Disneyland Paris open once again… particularly if Disneyland Paris could possibly be open in June!

Bob Chapek shares more about phased reopening plan for Walt Disney World

Bob Chapek Disney World

Disney CEO Bob Chapek recently shared information about Walt Disney World‘s phased reopening plans.

He recently shared in a CNBC interview, “We want to make sure that what we present to our guests when we open up with a quintessential Disney experience and while we’ll have substantially lower numbers of guests we want to make sure we do it in a responsible way so they can make those life long memories that last a lifetime.”

He also gave an interview to ABC’s Good Morning America. In that interview Chapek provided more details about how Disney executives arrived at their mid-July theme park reopening date, saying, “Well, it’s really a function of working backwards…How much time we need to open up responsibly…Procedures we’ll have to change dramatically. There’s going to be a lot more training, a lot more sanitation, a lot more hygiene, and, of course, social distancing.”

Chapek also discussed Disney World’s new reservation system saying, “And we’re also going to be introducing the brand new reservation system, so these things take time; And what we want to do is get it right the first time. Make steady progress and eventually be able to accommodate more and more Guests.”

Many Disney fans are concerned about the limited park experience (no fireworks, parades, character meet & greets, etc). To that Chapek said “The silver lining is that while not everything inside the park will be open, most things will be open…for those folks that are lucky enough to be able to get in that new reservation system, it’s going to be quite a magical day.”

You can watch the interview below:
