Hello traveler friends!! As some of you may have heard, there are some new reservation protocols at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, as well as some updated 2020 travel information. We will do our best to spell out the main points, and if you have any specific questions, either post below, or PM so we can help you that way.

Starting this past Monday (6/22), for guests with current WDW resort reservations, you are required to use the new "Park Pass Reservation System" to reserve which park you want to attend each day, for the length of your ticket (or your stay if you are AP). So, in order to do this, you must have a current park ticket (or AP). Disney is halting any new ticket sales for the foreseeable future, so it will only apply to already purchased tickets. No fast passes, park hoppers, or in park dining reservations. There are also enhanced safety measures in place - masks, social distancing, temperature checks, etc..

There are, at present, no 2020 reservations being made. While we hope they will open up the ticket sales & reservations system, for now, 2020 is off the table.

2021 reservations open up for booking today. There are no fast passes, park hoppers, or in park dining reservations at this time. Again, we hope that this will change, but for now, plan on it staying this way so it won't disappoint you later.

Folks, there are so many nuances, and questions, and we promise to do our best to help navigate through this. We would love to help you get that 2021 trip on the books, so let us know what we can quote for you. Until then, we are happy to answer your questions, and if we don't have the answer, we will reach out to someone who might. Stay safe!

Here is some information from the Disney site if you want to read more specifics: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/experience-updates/

Learn about updated experiences during the phased reopening of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, including enhanced cleaning, capacity controls, reservations for park entry, wellness screening and more.
