Walt Disney World Begins Cancelling Reservations Through May 23rd

    As Disney continues to come up with guidelines and best practices for reopening, they are sending out emails to guests with stays scheduled between May 17th and May 23rd. In the email, Disney is notifying guests that their reservations will be cancelled and that they have a few options going forward. Here’s a look at the email:

    In keeping with our focus on the well-being of our Guests and Cast Members during these rapidly changing times, Disney Resort hotels and theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort are currently closed until further notice.

    Your upcoming travel dates are impacted by these closures. You have the option to modify or cancel your Disney Resort hotel reservation or Walt Disney Travel Company package up to your original check-in date. If no action is taken, we will process any refund due to your original form of payment if a payment had been made. If you did not book through Disney directly, please contact your Travel Professional. Note that cancellation fees imposed by third-party suppliers, including airlines and rental cars, as well as nonrefundable products like travel protection plans, are deducted from refundable amounts for Walt Disney Travel Company packages.

    Additionally, for your convenience, we will also cancel most of your dining and experience reservations* and process any refund due to your original form of payment if a payment had been made. You will receive a separate cancellation notice as confirmation.
