Recently, we got an update on change and cancellation policies relating to Adventures by Disney. Now, Walt Disney World has updated their policies regarding cancellation and change fees for Disney World hotel reservations.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Disney-imposed change and cancellation fees have now been waived for Disney World hotel reservations further into 2020.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Now, Disney has extended that policy. Disney World guests with arrivals scheduled through December 31, 2020, can now change or cancel their reservations up to the date of check-in, without incurring a fee from Disney.

It’s important to note that if you booked your Disney World vacation through a third party, then cancellation fees, change fees, and applicable deadlines may be different. Be sure to check with the third party directly to see what their change and cancellation policies and fees are.
We’ll definitely look for any further updates to Disney’s change and cancellation fees policies and let you know about any future changes.

We had to cancel in June for an August 1 check in date because they wouldn’t let us know IF we would be able to get in the parks or how many days!!
Also, they “STOLE” 46 points from us instead of letting us extend the points to our vacation next summer.
Disney doesn’t care about DVC members at all!!!!
I’m ready to sell mine!!!
Hi! Do you know if there is anything about change and cancellation fees policies for brazilian travelers?
Carol, I have not seen anything specific to Brazilian travelers. You’ll probably want to reach out to Disney directly.
@john why does AP users get 30% off. DVC gets like what 15% at WOD. We spent thousands! Sometimes we think was it worth it all.
Do you know what this means for canceling Disney Vacation Packages? Will the cost of park tickets be returned as well?
Ben, we expect tickets would be refunded and/or fees waived as well.
