Even though Universal’s hotels are open, CityWalk locations are reopening, and the theme parks are resuming operations, it appears the company has taken steps to let go a number of employees even after operations have resumed.
As we get closer and closer to the reopening of Disney World starting July 11th, Disney is sharing more info about what the reopened parks will look like!
Epcot
We shared with you what attractions you can expect to be opening with Epcot, as well as the all-new Food and Wine experience that will start July 15thwhen the park reopens! Now we’re back to let you know what shops and entertainment you can expect when Epcot opens its doors!
Disney World just shared that their new Park Pass Reservation System will open to guests with existing reservations on June 22nd.
Magic Kingdom
The Park Pass System will help manage park attendance for the foreseeable future as the Disney parks reopen with limited capacity caps in place (Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will reopen on July 11th, and Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15th). All guests will need a Park Pass reservation on top of their valid park entry to enter any Disney World theme park.
Let’s take a look at how this new system will work. Check out ALL the details and a TUTORIAL below!

We attended one of the Annual Passholder early access days this week and getting into the park was relatively simple. But on this first day open to the general public, one particular aspect of getting into the parks has been a little bit crazy so far!
We’ve been actively following the developments with Disney World’s Reopening, which begins July 11th.
Disney Springs
One major issue that guests ran into early on was the inability to book new Advance Dining Reservations through Disney. It seems that might have changed!
We just learned that Disney World is temporarily suspending FastPass+ reservations, canceling existing Dining Reservations and Disney Dining Plans, and halting Extra Magic Hours once the parks reopen on the proposed mid-July date.
Magic Kingdom
And now, we noticed a quiet change to the language pertaining to who will be required to wear masks at the parks upon their reopening.
Following our earlier observation that dining reservations and the Disney Dining Plan were unable to be booked at this time, we now have some more details to share.
Mickey Pretzel!
It looks like guests planning to visit after Disney World’s reopening will NOT be permitted to have a Disney Dining Plan initally, among other big changes!
