A list of the Walt Disney World Hotel reopening dates. Some of the popular resort hotels won’t be available until Fall 2020.
The Walt Disney World began opening its Disney Vacation Club hotels on June 22, 2020. However, since the theme parks don’t open until July 11, demand is extremely low until then. Also, the NBA is staying on property while it films the finale of this season. So, some of the hotels will be unavailable until the season finished as players, coaches, and staff for the NBA occupy some locations through early fall.
Disney World Hotels by Reopening Date

You may have also noticed that several moderate and value hotels are missing from this list like the All-Star Resorts and Port Orleans. Disney has yet to confirm the reopening of those hotels but we believe that it will be based on demand.
