However, there’s a lot to keep in mind when it comes to the resorts and the new theme park reservation system.
It really does feel like the months have blown by since Disney World has been closed!

On top of the Disney Park Pass going live tomorrow on June 22nd, the Disney Resorts will be re-opening again to guests. Since there are plenty of new health and safety regulations (and even guidelines for Good Neighbor resorts), stays on Disney property are going to look totally different that we’ve seen before.

While a number of Disney-owned hotels prepare ready to welcome resort guests back that same day, many guests are looking forward to the moment they are able to step back into the Disney World parks. In order to reduce its capacity, Disney has released its new theme park reservation system as a way to limit the amount of guests in a park at a time.
