It’s a BIG day for Disney hotels!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has officially reopened! The Disney Vacation Club villas reopened here wayyy back in 2020, along with some shopping and dining options, but the resort as a whole has remained shuttered. Now, non-DVC rooms are OPEN and available for booking! So of course, we had to bring ya along to take a peek inside.
Disney World is continuing with its phased reopening.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
We’ve seen restaurants and resorts reopen as Disney World slowly increases its limited operations. Recently, Blizzard Beach even reopened! But if you’ve been following the hotel reopening dates closely, you may be a little confused. Why are reopening dates listed for hotels that are already open?! Well today, we’re breaking it ALL down for ya.
It has been quite some time since another Disney World hotel has welcomed back guests post-closure, and yet we’re just a couple of weeks away from the reopening of Disney’s All Star Movies Resort!

We’ve been anxiously awaiting reopening announcements for several Disney resorts for months now!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Some of Disney’s resorts have opened fully, like the Grand Floridian, while others are still only partially opened with the DVC sections operating. On top of that, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is currently under construction — undergoing a massive refurbishment to be completed next summer. We previously received an opening date for Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, but now it seems as though that date has been pushed back!
This past week has been a foodie trip around the reopened Disney Vacation Club Resorts! Since several DVC Resorts reopened last Monday, we have been checking out some popular food spots like Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Grand Floridian Cafe at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa to see what’s new and what’s the same old, same old!
