Post date July 7, 2020

Last month, Disney announced its proposal to reopen Downtown Disney on July 9th, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure on July 17th, and select hotels on July 23rd.

And while Downtown Disney will be moving forward with its plans to welcome back guests starting this Thursday, the other Disneyland Resort reopenings have been delayed.

Since it is unknown when Disney’s Californian Hotel and Disney’s Paradise Pier Resort will reopen, we chatted with a Disneyland Resort Cast Member who confirmed these hotels are no longer accepting new bookings for the month of July. The earliest new reservation you can now make is August 1st. It is also still unknown when the Disneyland Hotel will reopen.

The Cast Member also informed us that the standard reservation cancellation policy has been re-instated.

Previously, the policy stated Disney would waive cancellation fees through July 22nd. Now the policy says they will work with guests that may have been impacted by the closure with no specific date listed. As of today, here’s how Disneyland Resort’s cancellation fee policy now reads on its website.

The friendly Cast Member also informed us it is still unknown at this time when Disneyland Resort’s theme parks and hotels will reopen. We’ll continue to keep an eye on Disneyland’s homepage for the most up-to-date information regarding Disneyland’s phased reopening and we’ll let you know as soon as Disneyland releases more information soon!

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.

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.

Club 33 and Golden Oaks Members Can Also Attend Disney World’s Early Previews!

Post date June 19, 2020

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!

Guess What Disney World Transportation Is BACK in the Sky Today!

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 12, 2020

At the start of the parks’ temporary closure, all of Disney’s Skyliner gondolas were put away for safekeeping.

Disney World

And while we just saw the carousel at Disney Springs’ marketplace spinning along with Cinderella Castle receiving her royal makeover, you won’t believe what else we just saw!

Disney’s Skyliner gondolas have returned to their tracks and they’re on the move once more! Man, we’ve really missed seeing these guys! The wires looked so naked without them!

Disney’s Skyliner

Keep in mind, Disney World hasn’t indicated whether or not Disney’s Skyliner will resume when some of the hotels begin to reopen on June 22nd or when the theme parks reopen July 11th and July 15th.

Disney’s Skyliner

So far we only know details about a few modes of transportation that will be back on track soon including Disney’s Magical Express airport shuttle as well as the buses that transport guests back and forth from the theme parks and resort hotels. Disney has also shared the monorail and ferry boats will be operating, but service will be limited due to reduced capacity.

Disney’s Skyliner

Disney has also confirmed Minnie Vans won’t be operating, so the only thing missing is what’s going to happen with Disney’s Skyliner? We’re eager to hear more information and we’re taking the gondolas being out as a GOOD sign we might find out something soon!

Have you had the chance to ride on Disney’s Skyliner? Let us know if you have in the comments below!

Disney World Says Services For Guests With Disabilities Will Resume When The Parks Reopen

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 8, 2020

We know a lot of you guys have TONS of questions about Disney World now that the theme parks are officially set to reopen on July 11th and July 15th!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

And while there have been a bunch of updates regarding Disney’s Magical Express as well as a character meal that’s expected to resume and many hotel services that are being tweaked, we just learned some info regarding Disney World’s services for guests with disabilities.

Disney World has confirmed Disability Access Service (DAS) will operate the same as they did prior to the theme parks’ temporary closure. Upon reopening, guests with disabilities will be able to ride Disney World’s attractions through the same process as they could before the closures.

Disney World

Guests with disabilities will need to go to Guest Relations to obtain the Disability Access Service pass on their MagicBand (or likely a physical pass if they’re not using MagicBands) that will be valid the length of their stay. They’ll be able to go to an attraction and receive a return time, same as pre-closure. Once it’s time to ride, guests will be directed to an alternative entrance for boarding.

For more information, guests can contact Disney World’s Disability Services at (407) 560-2547 or email them at disability.services@disneyparks.com.
