UPDATE: Walt Disney World Officially Retracts July 11 Reopening Date for Resort Hotels

While no mention of resort hotels was made during yesterday’s reopening presentation, the Walt Disney World website displayed an update that specifically included resort hotels as part of the July 11 reopening date:

This update has since been modified to remove wording about Disney Resort hotels:

Now, Disney has confirmed with the media that the inclusion of Disney Resort hotels was done in error, and that there is currently no reopening date for non-DVC properties:

Disney officially confirmed "Resort hotels” being included was an error. There is currently no opening date for non-DVC hotels.

Disney Vacation Club resorts at Walt Disney World will reopen to members and guests on June 22, in addition to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Disney Vacation Club resorts in Vero Beach, Florida and Hilton Head, South Carolina will also reopen to members and guests starting on June 15. 

Upon reopening, theme parks, Disney Resort hotels, restaurants, and other offerings may be modified, limited in capacity, and subject to availability or closure. Plans to support required physical distancing as well as enhanced cleaning measures, along with a number of other safety and cleanliness protocols, will be implemented as part of this planned phased reopening.
