UPDATE #1 - Sunday, May 24 around 6pm EST.
With UOR's reopening announcement, I wanted to see how/if this affected any offsite hotels' reopening plans. Those plans did change but seemed to change in the other direction (delays). This was especially true for hotels on WDW property. For those that have not been following this thread, I've been periodically checking on a number of offsite hotels to see what they're opening plans are/when they're accepting reservations over the last few weeks. I've compiled
some of them into a little list here to help us gage when other hotels in the area seem to be guessing that something resembling normal tourism patterns might return to the area.
As a reminder, Disney Resort Hotels are only accepting new reservations with arrivals of 7/1 and later. Universal Orlando's onsite hotels are only accepting new reservations with arrivals 6/2 and later (except PBH and Dockside Inn & Suites).
Please note that I've tried to exclude timeshare resorts, given they have other factors affecting their decision to reopen, as well as hotels that are currently open as of today.
These are just assumptions based on periodically checking their availability calendars for the last week or two. This could (and likely will) change. This list is also not complete or representative of every hotel in the Orlando area. Here's the key:
Officially announced a reopening
Unannounced opening but consistently been accepting stays arriving on this date and beyond
Unannounced opening but has been sliding when its accepting new reservations (new dates in bold)
Closed until further notice (no new reservations for the foreseeable future)

Obviously, this list nowhere near whole or representative of what all hotels in Orlando are doing, but these are just some of the more popular hotels that have closer associations with Disney or Universal and are discussed a lot on The Dis. Here are
some popular Disney-area resorts that have resumed operations or never closed:
- Margaritaville Resort Orlando (reopened their hotel side this weekend)
- Flamingo Crossings hotels (never closed)
- B Resort & Spa (never closed but has recently reopened pool facilities)
- Wyndham Lake Buena Vista/Wyndham Garden (never closed)
Again, I'm not listing every hotel that is currently opening in the Orlando area; this is just to address a few that are on or very near Disney property that people may have asked about. If anyone has any suggestions or additions I should watch (I'm nowhere close to an Orlando area hotel expert), feel free to PM me and I will add.
. I guess it would be more difficult to organize color coordinated tshirt and backpack cheers in queues while practicing 6 foot social distancing. Masks might reduce the noise level under 120 decibels, too.
