This year, many Disney World trips have been turned upside down a bit due to closures and cancellations.

2019 Food and Wine Classic

And although Disney World is gearing up to reopen its theme parks come July, it appears that the cancellations are over.

The Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic typically coincides with Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival and was set to take place on November 6-7, 2020.

Today, we noticed that tickets were currently unavailable for the event. After seeing this, we called the resort to see if this was a glitch or if the event had been postponed or canceled due to the current health situation.

Tickets Unavailable

After talking with an employee, we were informed that the 2020 Food and Wine Classic has been canceled and that the resort plans to host it again in 2021. We do want to mention that at this time, we have not heard anything regarding Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival.

News! Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Asking July Guests to Confirm Reservations!

Over the weekend, there was STILL a way to book a non-DVC room on Disney property for the reopening of Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th and the reopening of Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th. Guests could go through Mariott’s website and book a room at The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resorts.

THEN, the Swan and Dolphin’s website was updated to state that both resorts will remain closed through July 29th.

That left guests with rooms at the Swan and Dolphin with one MAJOR question: What would happen to their reservations?! Now it seems as though the Swan and Dolphin WILL be open to guests with previously booked stays.

Swan and Dolphin Resort

The Swan and Dolphin resorts are asking guests to confirm their reservations by 5PM on Monday, June 15th, otherwise, the reservation will be canceled and refunded. If you have a reservation at the Swan and Dolphin for July, confirm by calling 800-227-1500 or by emailing reservations@swandolphin.com.

Email From Swan and Dolphin

According to the email, the Swan and Dolphin resorts will be operating with “limited services initially, which will impact amenities and restaurants typically available to guests.” Though these are third-party hotels, this is in line with what Walt Disney World resort hotels will look like after reopening on June 22.

Animal Kingdom Lodge

Note that the Swan and Dolphin did NOT confirm when they will be reopening to new guests, nor when the hotels will open to new reservations before July 30th. We’ll monitor this story and keep you updated as we learn more.

Are you staying at the Swan and Dolphin anytime soon? Let us know in the comments!

Two Disney World Area Hotels have Extended their Closures

Two Disney World area hotels have recently extended their closures. The Swan and Dolphin Resorts are located on Disney property, however, they are not Disney-owned, so they set their own reopening dates.

The previous reopening date stated on their website was July 6 which would’ve given guests another option for staying on Disney property when the parks reopen.

The Swan and Dolphin website now states that the hotels will be closed through July 29, 2020. The site also gives more information for guests with reservations:

“For guests with existing reservations for any future arrival date, including reservations with pre-paid rates that are typically more restrictive, we will allow full changes or cancellation without a charge up to 24 hours prior to arrival, as long as the change or cancellation is made by July 29, 2020. Please note that any changes to existing reservations will be subject to availability and any rate differences.

For guests making new reservations for any future arrival date, including reservations with pre-paid rates, from today until July 29, 2020, we will allow the reservation to be changed or cancelled at no charge up to 24 hours before your scheduled arrival date. Please note that changes to the reservation will be subject to availability and any rate differences.”

As of now the only Disney Resort hotels that will be open when the parks reopen will be DVC resorts and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. The parks are scheduled to open July 11 (Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom) and July 15 (Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios).
