We’re still seeing quite a few closures around Disney World property.
Even though hotels and restaurants are reopening right and left, some things remain unavailable. Still, others are closed temporarily for planned refurbishments! Of course, if you’re planning on visiting, we like to keep you updated. So we’re bringing you all the hotels and attractions that will be closed in Disney World in July 2021!

Port Orleans? There is not even a rumor of them opening. My guess is that they will be completely re-themed, or not open at all. They are extremely popular resorts, so it makes no sense that they are the last to open. The southern mansion theme isn’t woke enough for Disney anymore though.
Disney has closers because there is not enough people going to Disney anymore the crowd are not really the same before the pandemic . That was the years that Disney was making billions. It is ǹot good for Disney not to open the tickets are high the cost is to much for family’s to be able to afford .
