In the blink of an eye, it’s already August! It was a busy month for Walt Disney World, and we saw a lot of announcements over these past few weeks.
Now, we’re rounding up 10 new things that we found out in July. Let’s get crackin’!

What a year, right? And there are STILL things at Disney World that haven’t reopened yet, including restaurants AND hotels. But that’s changing, too.

Did you know that all of the Disney World Resort hotels will have reopened by the end of this year?

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
Yep, with favorites like Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge reopening soon, there were only a few hotels that still didn’t have reopening dates — until yesterday, that is! Disney announced the reopening dates for Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter, Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, and Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort.
There have been a LOT of reopenings in Disney World recently.

Guess what guys? It’s May!
