food IS a theme park
Although Downtown Disney has reopened, the rest of Disneyland Resort remains closed, and could stay that way for some time.
The Disneyland Hotel
Previously, Disneyland Resort hotels were only accepting reservations starting on November 1st, but it seems that this date has changed again.
Although Downtown Disney welcomed back guests in July, the rest of Disneyland Resort remains closed.

And it seems that Disneyland’s reopening continues to get delayed, with reservations most recently canceled through September 12th. At the time, guests could only make reservations after September 15th.

Many of the Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels also contained small in-resort stores that sold a variety of Disney merchandise items as well as Disney park tickets. Now, we’ve got some updates about whether you’ll be able to visit these Disney stores during your next stay in one of these hotels.
If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World, there is a LOT to think about right now. As a result of the global health crisis, we’re seeing some big changes to the way we do Disney World. We’re talking updates to the dining reservation system, an all-new Disney Park Pass theme park reservation system, and no more Park Hopping, to name a few.
Magic Kingdom
If you’ve been hard at work planning or rescheduling an upcoming Disney vacation, you may have wrapped your mind around some of the big changes. But, there are still quite a few things that most people booking a Disney trip right now DON’T know.
Last month, Disney announced its proposal to reopen Downtown Disney on July 9th, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure on July 17th, and select hotels on July 23rd.

And while Downtown Disney will be moving forward with its plans to welcome back guests starting this Thursday, the other Disneyland Resort reopenings have been delayed.
All Disney World construction projects stopped shorty after the parks closed on March 16th — which seems like such a long time ago!

But now that many of Disney’s resort hotels reopened on June 22nd, and the Disney World parks have opening dates — Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th followed by Epcot and Hollywood Studios on July 15th — we’ve seen work on several job sites resume!
Disney World’s theme parks are gearing up to reopen next month, and to prepare several Disney World resort hotels are getting ready to welcome back guests starting next week!

We were just about to leave Disney Springs this afternoon when something caught our eye!

And while it might not be as fancy as other modes of transportation such as the monorail or Disney’s Skyliner gondolas (which we’ve also seen out-and-about recently!) it gets the job of gettin’ around at Disney World just as well!
At the start of the parks’ temporary closure, all of Disney’s Skyliner gondolas were put away for safekeeping.

And while we just saw the carousel at Disney Springs’ marketplace spinning along with Cinderella Castle receiving her royal makeover, you won’t believe what else we just saw!
UPDATE (5/22) 8:45 PM CT: According to the Orlando Sentinel, the governor’s office clarified that “the only major theme park to receive approval to reopen on Friday was Universal Studios in Orlando.” Legoland had already sent out a news release of the park’s reopening, but a reporter followed up to clarify that the decision had not yet been approved. We will keep you updated when the governor officially approves Legoland’s reopening.
While yesterday we informed you Legoland Florida had received initial approval to reopen June 1st, Governor Ron DeSantis has now given the Winter Haven City-based theme park the green light.
