TO UPDATE: Several readers have contacted us to indicate that they have also received the confirmation email, which runs through September reservation dates, with different respective confirmation deadlines.
Walt Disney World recently released a full series of new policies regarding resort cleanup procedures, transportation, and activities for the upcoming reopening of the resorts, beginning with the Disney Vacation Club and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground properties, that started this week.
With all these changes, Disney now asks guests with reservations through July 18 to confirm, modify, or cancel their reservations before July 1.
Guests with reservations receive an email from Disney similar to the following, albeit with an updated “response request” deadline reflecting the new July 1 deadline. The screenshot below is from the initial wave of emails:
The deadline for guests with reservations until July 11 is June 25, or todayso if you have that email in your inbox now would be a good time to click “Review and confirm” if you are determined to stay in the most magical place on Earth for the next few weeks.
Please note that you can be transferred from a closed resort to an open one as needed if you decide to continue with your reservation. As a reminder, Disney’s meal plans are suspended at this time. If you originally had a ticket package and traveled while the theme parks are still closed, the price of your vacation package will be reduced.
If you wish to modify or cancel, Walt Disney World has decided to waive the cancellation and change the rates on hotel reservations until “the end of closings”.
