Disneyland and Walt Disney World are Now Taking Reservations For June
Last week Disney announced that Disneyland and Walt Disney World would close indefinitely. The parks were originally supposed to open back up at the end of the month, but that obviously wasn’t going to happen. They then said that the parks would “remain closed until further notice.”
Well, they are now taking reservations for the theme parks for June 1st and beyond. So I guess they anticipated the parks to reopen for the summer, for now. Here’s a statement that Disney shared:
"Walt Disney World theme parks, Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs area are currently closed and a reopening date has not been identified. For guests who are interested in modifying their existing travel dates or making a new reservation for a future vacation, reservations are currently available for travel dates June 1 and later. As always, Guests are able to modify these bookings if Walt Disney World Resort opens before or after that time.
"As we previously shared, unexpired multi-day theme park tickets with unused days, or date-specific them park tickets with a valid use period beginning March 12, 2020 through the closure will automatically be extended to use any date through December 15, 2020. If you are unable to visit by December 15, 2020, you may apply the value of a wholly unused ticket toward the purchase of a ticket for a future date.
"The provide additional flexibility, we are waiving Disney-imposed change and cancellation fees up to the date of check-in for reservations with arrivals through June 30. As a reminder, most reservations can be modified or cancelled online. If guests need further assistance, they can reach us at the Disney Reservation Center through our online chat feature or by calling our reservation line."
Just to be clear, these Disney theme parks are not guaranteed to open on June 1st, but that is obviously the target date. If the coronavirus pandemic has slowed down or comes to an end by that time then the park could open. If not, then I’m sure they’ll keep them closed down longer.
