We now know that Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort both are not accepting new reservations until July 1, 2020. They both have canceled resort reservations through the second week of June. In order to keep guests well-informed, an updated statement has come out from the company.
The letter, of sorts, was released on the Disney Parks Blog and it is a statement updating guests on everything. To some, it may not seem like much, but it’s hard to know exactly how to interpret this information.
We do know that Walt Disney World is going to submit their reopening plans to the Orange County Task Force next week. From that point, we may know more as to how things will go and when they may reopen.
Here is the statement in its entirety:
An update from Guest Relations at the Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort
Dear Guests,
It’s an understatement to say that the past few months have been a challenging time for us all. As we navigate the longest park closures in our histories, we’ve loved hearing your kind words of hope and seeing how you’ve made your own Disney memories at home has uplifted and inspired us all.
During this time, we know it can be difficult to plan your Disney vacation. Now more than ever we’re longing for the opportunity to come together with family and friends to escape, to celebrate, to re-do missed milestones, like birthdays and anniversaries and to make new Disney memories.
Given the current uncertainty as to when we will reopen Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort, we’ve had to periodically adjust the schedule for the ability to book hotel reservations at our resorts. While we’re currently accepting reservations starting in July 2020 at both resorts, as this situation evolves, timing may continue to shift.
As we continue to follow guidance from government and health care officials regarding how we’ll be able to reopen our parks and resorts in a responsible way, we may also need to make real-time adjustments to booked experiences, park tickets and park passes.
Please know that if any reservations you may have made need to change, we will work with you to make the necessary modifications.
If you haven’t already, we encourage you to check out the recent blog post from our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Pamela Hymel, on how we’re planning for re-opening our parks and resorts.
Our focus remains on the safety of the entire Disney community.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate this unprecedented time together. We continue to be moved by the incredible support and passion our guests have shown for our Disney family, and we hope to see you real soon.
Make sure to get in touch with My Mickey Vacation Travel so they can give you even more details and take all the stress out of planning to create the magic for you.
They will make sure to connect all the dots and get everything in order for your next Disney Cruise Line, Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or any Disney Destination vacation while saving you time, stress, and money.

Undercover Tourist has yet to give a definitive answer about the two rooms we reserved for June 7-12, 2020 at Pop. They keep offering to cancel at our request, but refuse to say our stay has been cancelled by WDW. Could this be an indication that the resort is trying to scale back the number of guests for a soft opening? We don’t want to voluntarily cancel prematurely.
