First Look into the Reopening of Walt Disney World

It has been a long and crazy four months without the Disney World parks, but the wait is finally over! On this Saturday, July 11th, both Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will officially reopen to guests. Hollywood Studios and Epcot will shortly follow suit on July 15th. Thankfully, some members of our team were able to book reservations ahead of time for the Annual Passholder Park Previews. We will be documenting our first-hand experiences of the reopenings of Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios below over the next few days, so be sure to check back for updates!

Before You Go

The first major difference that guests will experience before they even arrive at the parks is the new Disney Park Pass Reservation System. This is an efficient way for the parks to manage attendance and ensure the parks are operating at a limited 25% capacity. All guests aged 3 and up will need their own reservation selected for the correct day and park, as well as a valid theme park admission ticket.

The Reservation System is relatively easy to use, however, spots have been filling up pretty quickly. You can make reservations via the Disney Experience website. You will need to select each guest going, what day you would like to go and which park you plan to visit before confirming your reservation. If you have multi-day park tickets you will need to make separate reservations for each day you will be in the parks
