BIG news today for Disney fans: Disneyland has proposed a reopening!
The Disneyland Hotel
Disneyland Resort has been pretty hush-hush about reopening plans, until today! Disney just announced a proposed reopening plan for a phased return to business. Still, though the plan lists the reopening dates for most of the segments of the resort, including Downtown Disney, one piece of Disneyland is notably missing.
The Disney World theme parks will begin reopening with Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom on July 11th, but guests actually will be welcomed to the resorts weeks before that.
The Villas at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House
Disney Vacation Club Resorts and Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground are set to reopen on June 22nd. Notably, upon announcement, some DVC properties were not listed as one of the reopening resorts. Though Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas — Kidani Village were listed, the Jambo House Villas were not. Hmm. Oddly enough, we were just able to book a reservation at Jambo House! So what’s going on?!
We’ve got our eyes on Disney World’s reopening, but other Orlando parks are opening too.

SeaWorld Orlando recently announced its upcoming reopening for June 11th — that’s TOMORROW! Now, their gearing up for the return of guests with some changes to procedures and an all-new guest reservation system for the theme parks.

But we’re not talking about the Avengers today. We’re talking about some EXTRA super folks, and you might know one! It’s back to school season so Disney is celebrating the teachers in our lives with some new merch.

SeaWorld is set to reopen one month ahead of Disney on June 11th. Today, a new reservation system launched to help SeaWorld Orlando to limit capacity in all of their theme parks, but the process might have told us something else. It appears that reservations are only available for select days of the week. So, by the looks of it, SeaWorld may remain closed select days of the week for the time being. Take a look!
It seems like every few weeks we hear that Disney Cruise Line is canceling more sailings.
