Disney World is currently operating under new health mandates and limited operations. The regulations were implemented when the theme parks reopened in July.

Over the last several months, Disney has been adjusting to crowds and other factors by slowly reopening more resorts, restaurants, and more. Some facilities and accommodations have remained closed and others have scheduled reopening dates in the coming months. Also, some attractions are down for refurbishments. To help you prepare, we’ve listed EVERY Disney World attraction and resort that is closed in January 2021!
