There’s a lot to consider when choosing a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, especially since there are so many options at the resorts when it comes to dining, shopping, transportation, and more.
Before your vacation begins, you need to make sure you know what’s available at your resort before you go.
Like the theme parks, the resorts have some health and safety modifications.
Important mask policy update:
Masks are no longer required anywhere at Walt Disney World.
This includes all Disney transportation (buses, monorail, Skyliner, & boats).
Disney’s official policy does recommend that “…Guests who are not fully vaccinated continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations, including indoor attractions and theaters and on enclosed transportation.“
As of March 31, 2022, every resort is currently open at Disney World, with Disney’s All-Star Sports being the final hotel to reopen its doors to guests on March 31.
The resorts that are open still offer that magical Disney theming and atmosphere, but not everything is available right now (something to keep in mind when booking).
Due to many factors, you may want to consider staying at a resort that has more options. Yes, it might be more expensive, but you might want to be spend more time at your resort and have more dining or transportation choices.
To assist you, below are all of the resort’s that are currently open and what’s available at each one. We also note if the entire resort is open or if only the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) part is.
We’ve indicated which dining locations offer the following:
- Mobile Order – allows guests to order ahead from their phone in the My Disney Experience app
- Mobile Dine Walk-up Availability – allows guests to be added to the waitlist without visiting the host stand by using the My Disney Experience app
- Mobile Dine Check-in – guests can check in for their previously booked dining reservation without visiting the host stand by using the My Disney Experience app
- Table Service To Go – guests can Mobile Order from select Table Service restaurants via the My Disney Experience app
Also keep in mind that valet parking has returned to the following Disney World hotels (via WDWMagic.com):
- Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Disney’s Riviera Resort
- Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
- Disney’s BoardWalk Resort
- Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
- Disney’s Beach Club Resort
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village
- Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Hopefully this helps you decide which hotel is the best fit if you have an upcoming trip or are thinking about planning one.
Important: If you want to visit Disney World Resort hotels and you’re driving, you usually need either a confirmed resort reservation or confirmed dining reservation in order to enter. This sometimes vary, but something to keep in mind.
