This was the biggest news week yet since Disney closed, with details on the new theme park reservation system finally coming out, and tons of other updates being revealed as well. Here’s a lot of updates from a busy week.

The big news this week was Disneyland getting a proposed reopening date. We also had some smaller updates from other resorts.

We’re a little late on this week’s update (usually they’re on Fridays), but here’s the latest reopening news for the Disney parks around the world.

This week’s big news was the announcement of reopening dates for Walt Disney World, but we’ve got updates from around the world this week.

Today, Walt Disney World announced its plans for reopening.

As part of their presentation to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force today, Universal Orlando proposed a reopening date of June 1 (test groups) and June 5 (to the public). Let’s discuss that, shall we?

I don’t like to speculate, but the fact is that many of you are wondering when Disney World and Disneyland will reopen from the ongoing closure, and I at least want to offer some perspective on how to think about this.

After last week’s very busy week of news, this week was quieter but much, much more fun because there’s finally a Disney park open! We will talk a bit about Florida and California, but we’re going to start with what is now the unofficial(?) happiest place on earth—Shanghai Disneyland.

This was a very busy week of announcements, with Shanghai Disneyland and Disney Springs reopenings headlining things. We’ll start with the quick takeaways from the week before diving in to discuss things in more detail.

Since it was announced that Shanghai Disneyland will reopen on May 11, people have been asking about visiting Shanghai. In this post, we’re going to talk about visiting Shanghai (including the sad fact that at the moment, you can’t).

Disney held its Quarter 2 earnings call today, and the big announcement to come out of that was that Shanghai Disneyland will reopen May 11. In this post, we’ll talk about this announcement and then discuss what little information we heard about the US parks on the call.

For the remainder of this crisis, we expect to have weekly updates discussing what happened this week. Let’s talk about this week. We’ll start with Walt Disney World, then Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and the other three resorts.

In this post we’re going to go on an adventure speculating about how changes to park protocols might impact touring strategies.

In this post, we discuss Florida Governor DeSantis’s recent comments about Disney being “ahead of the curve.” Ahead of the curve on what? Well, that’s sort of the issue…

With the parks (and movie theaters) closed, The Walt Disney Company is finding new ways to connect directly with “guests.” That is, they can’t push “hey come to the theater to see this…” or “visit the parks for a brand new…” these days. Instead, they’re giving people new online activities they can experience from home while social distancing.

Disney World has announced more information about what guests who had trips planned during or near the coronavirus closure can expect. Here are our thoughts on changing your trip due to coronavirus (COVID-19), including when you might look to rebook.

Disney destinations around the world are temporarily closing in response to COVID-19.

With Disney World closing for at least a few weeks due to coronavirus, and with the company offering complimentary rebookings, I wanted to discuss how the change in plans might impact your FastPass+ and Advance Dining Reservations.
