If they’re going with July, I also can’t see them opening until after July 4th. Wouldn’t make sense to open on a crazy busy travel/holiday weekend, when it’s going to be reduced crowds, etc. So I’d guess the opening would be 7/6 or thereabouts.

yep same thoughts here.

This makes me think they might be aiming to open the resorts for two to three weeks before the parks and don’t want people making reservations for the resorts thinking the parks will be open.

They had this same wording for the June 1st date as well, I wouldn’t put that much stock into it sadly.

If it comes, and I think it will, at least this one doesn’t hurt like the March cancellation. I think I’m become immune to disappointment. Our trip goes into July so have to decide whether to tack on to the end to get days back - but the AP discount isn’t available then and I’m just tired of the unknowns. I’m just glad we decided not to tell my grandson about this trip. What he doesn’t know....

When you do finally make it back, you are going to have the most wonderful trip ever.

Didn’t remember that. Thank you.

July 5th is a monday. Maybe that could work.

FYI the 5th is a Sunday. Holiday is on Saturday, which means Friday is the legal observed holiday.

Roughly yes, though i believe the MK and MK resorts first is possible.

Mike is speculating, so don’t panic from the “headline.”

I went ahead and made a hotel reservation for the beach for the same dates as my June Disney trip, At this point, I don’t care which way it goes. I just need to get out of the house and have some human contact soon.

I went into the system to see about dining reservations. Plugged in June 30 for breakfast and dinner reservations. Only available dining was the Disney springs restaurants. Nothing for any park or resort restaurants. Excuse me while I go cry.

I think the lack of dining reservations available inside the parks is probably the biggest indication that the parks will not be opening in June. Just noticed this as well.

Or just no ADRs
ETA: or no sit down restaurants

I could see them not having TS reservations at first. Disney is very non-confrontational and there would be some angry guests if they could see 75% of the tables empty and they weren’t allowed inside. I think having just CS open, with a limited number of tables available, would work better right at first. At least at DS, most of the restaurants are not owned by Disney, and you won’t have the whole “I paid x amount to get into this park and you’re telling me I can’t eat!” argument.

I just went to book my daughter's first haircut at Harmony Barber Shop for August and all of June is blocked off but full availability for July and August. (she was supposed to get her first haircut there in April )

They have cancelled reservations with arrivals up to (but not including) June 1. I do find it interesting that they implemented DL’s freeze on new June reservations earlier this week but didn’t implement WDW’s until today. When they did the initial reservation freeze, both resorts implemented it at the same time. This time, not the case.

Makes me wonder if it’s b/c it is a capacity issues but it could also be they knew DLR was a no go but still had hope for wdw til today.
