Resort hopping next week

[Kallie724]

We have an open day next Friday and aren’t going to the parks so we wanted to do some resort hopping and look at resorts we’ve never been to. Does anyone have a list of what resorts are open right now? The list I saw on Disney’s site should the majority were open but I’m just a little confused about the list on their site. Beach Club was on the list but then later on the site it said it wasn’t opening until sometime in May...the same with Wilderness Lodge and we actually have reservations at Whispering Canyon next week. So is it that you can’t stay at the resorts but the property itself is open like the restaurants and gift shops? Trying to get used to all the Disney differences this year haha.

Port Orleans Riverside and PO French Quarter, All Star Music and AS Sport are the only resorts completely closed.

WL, BC, AKL, Poly, and BWI, have their DVC sections open, which means some dining and shopping is open, but there is no guarantee all will be available. If you planned to hit any of those, I would check and see what they have open on each resorts page or on various blogs online; for instance, the entire Jambo House and its amenities are closed at AKL. You should probably to that for all resorts because even "open" resorts have some things closed.

Another thing to be aware of is your arrival method at the resorts. If you are driving your own vehicle or using a ride share service (Uber/Lyft for example) the security personnel are asking to see a valid ADR or reservation before letting people enter the resort. Some reports are a mobile order sometimes will work and sometimes won’t, depending on the security person. If you are arriving by Disney transport you should be fine.

Thanks so much for this advice! I will definitely make sure we arrive by Disney transportation. Like I said...all the different things now to learn because of the restrictions lol
