Now that select Disney World resorts have reopened and the Disney Park Pass reservation system is live for guests who have valid theme park admission and a hotel reservation, we know many of you are trying to navigate making plans to visit the parks this summer.

And while we know there were a lot of technical difficulties with the Disney Park Pass reservation system yesterday, it seems like many folks have been successful in getting their needed reservations. So much so, we noticed that Disney’s Animal Kingdom has already filled up on July 14th!

Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom are slated to reopen before the other two theme parks on July 11th.

After checking out the Disney Park Pass availability calendar this morning, we noticed Disney’s Animal Kingdom is currently showing that all of its reservations have been distributed for July 14th.

Disney Park Pass reservations are subject to availability. Though Disney has not released capacity numbers for the reopened parks — we know that there is a significant limit on attendance.

But theme park reporter Scott Gustin is stating Disney has held back some spots and more reservations and will be released when Disney World’s Annual Passholders have access to the Disney Park Pass system on June 26th.

Disney has confirmed the above days/parks are booked for people with hotel reservations BUT additional spots will be released on Friday when APs are eligible to book.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot are scheduled to reopen July 15th, and so far reservations on July 15th, 16th, or 17th have filled up at Disney’s Hollywood Studios as well. But according to Scott, APs sould also have a chance to get park reservations for these dates that will be released on Friday.

While Disneyland has already extended the expiration dates for its park tickets, we’ve been waiting to hear about other types of tickets including Military Salute Tickets.

Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland

So far, there hasn’t been any word on whether or not these tickets would be extended. But today, Disneyland has updated its website and provided new details on when 2020 Military Salute Tickets are set to expire.

If you’ve obtained a 2020 Military Salute Ticket, you may be relieved to know Disneyland has finally extended your ticket’s expiration date! 2020 Military Salute Tickets will be automatically extended through December 16th, 2021.

Blockout dates will still apply, but the tickets may still be used on non-consecutive days.

Keep in mind you will still need to obtain a park reservation in order to use your 2020 Military Salute Tickets when the parks reopen.

Check Yo’ Mailboxes! Disney World Will Be Sending Out AP MAGNETS This Summer!

Due to Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival being cut short this year, a lot of Annual Passholders didn’t get the chance to snag their beloved AP magnet!

Walt Disney World Annual Passholder

We’ve been receiving inquires from Annual Passholders about AP magnets just about every day and every time we’ve tried to find answers for you, we’ve hit a brick wall — UNTIL TODAY!

In an email sent out to Disney World’s Annual Passholders this afternoon (which was FULL of all sorts of goodies including the dates for Disney World’s Annual Passholder previews!) we spotted this tiny blurb at the bottom!

Email From Disney

We’re gettin’ AP magnets, PEOPLE! And they’re being sent to us in the mail! Only ONE AP magnet will be sent out per household. Now, Disney hasn’t shared what these magnets will look like, so we aren’t sure if they will be a Flower and Garden magnet or something else entirely. So stay tuned!

Donald and Spike and Orange Bird Magnets

Disney says they’ll be mailing them out some time this summer, so not sure about you guys, but we’ll totally be stalking our mail carriers until they get here! JK — but not, REALLY!

Disney World has just announced the dates of its annual passholder previews!

Magic Kingdom

But Disney World APs aren’t the only folks who’ll be welcomed back before the parks reopen to the general public!

Thanks to reporter Scott Gustin, we’ve just learned Club 33 and Golden Oaks members will also have early access to the theme parks on July 9th!

NEW: July 9 is also the scheduled preview date for Club 33 and Golden Oak.

— Scott Gustin (@ScottGustin) June 19, 2020

That means if you’re not a Disney World Annual Passholder, but you’re a Club 33 or Golden Oaks member, you will also be eligible to attend the early preview.

Although not explicitly stated, we’re expecting reservations will most likely be required, as is the case for Annual Passholders. Park reservations will be limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The preview dates are as follows:

Club 33 and Golden Oak Previews of Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom — July 9th
Annual Passholder Previews of Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom — July 9th and July 10th
Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom Park Reopening — July 11th
Hollywood Studios and Epcot Park Reopening — July 15th

We’ll keep you posted on all further developments!

Are you a Club 33 or Golden Oaks member? Let us know if you’ll be attending the preview in the comments below!

While we’ve been busy becoming masters of Disney World’s new reservation system (check out our tutorial here!), we’ve also been trying to figure out who will have access to park reservations when it goes live on June 22nd.

A Sight For Sore Eyes!

So far, we’ve been able to confirm guests staying at Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resort (which is owned by Marriott) will have the same access as guests staying at Disney-owned hotels.

And now theme park reporter Carly Weisel has also found out guests who will be staying at one of the seven Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels (which are privately-owned) will ALSO have the same access to park reservations as Disney World guests!

Disney Springs

That following properties are eligible:

If you have booked a room at one of these resorts AND you have valid theme park admission, you’ll be able to make your Disney World park reservation starting on June 22nd. Thanks to Carly Weisel, we also know guests staying at Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World will qualify as well.

Magic Kingdom

Keep in mind, many of these properties shut down around the same time as Disney World resorts and some have remained closed. Here are the Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels that are still closed and have yet to release their official reopening dates at this time:

Make sure you check with your resort regarding your upcoming stay and if you have any questions, shoot them out to us in the comments below! We’re doing out best to keep up with all of these details regarding Disney World’s phased reopening, which are coming at us left and RIGHT! Stay tuned for more developments so you can start planning your next Disney World vacay!
