Disney World has been slowly but surely announcing hotel reopening dates.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Though most of the Disney World villas and hotels have reopened, there are some we’re still waiting on. In fact, there are some that are still closed until further notice! It’s time for a status update!
Open Resort Hotels
When the Disney hotels first opened in June, most Disney Vacation Club locations were the first to return to business. Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort was one of these and we even stayed in a room to see how things had changed! Disney’s Contemporary Resort is open overall too!
Bay Lake Tower
Boulder Ridge Villas and Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge have reopened as well.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village DID reopen back in June. Neighboring Jambo House is closed to guests aside from those booking select rooms with DVC points. Very few options are open at Jambo House currently though, making guests who choose to stay here have to venture to Kidani Village for limited food and shopping. (The Uzima pool bar IS periodically open, though!)
Savannah
Disney’s Beach Club Villas and Disney’s BoardWalk Villas have both reopened even though both of the hotels remain closed overall for now. Disney’s Yacht Club is the BoardWalk hotel that is completely open!

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is the most recent resort to reopen after the NBA wrapped up their season!
