Below are some of the changes taking place during the phased opening. These changes have been set in place for the health and safety of your clients as well as Cast Members. Please keep in mind these changes are temporary.
Guests will be required to make reservations through the My Disney Experience App for park entry. It will be one park per day, no more park hopper. Reservations for the theme parks will be a first come first serve basis.
Theme Parks

Resorts
