food IS a theme park
Disney World will officially begin the phased reopening of its theme parks on July 11th with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.

A few months back, Disney canceled all existing dining reservations and shared that they would “reopen these bookings with a more limited number closer to when the parks reopen.” Now, dining reservations have officially opened to all guests again!
Magic Kingdom
That’s right, it’s almost time for Disney World to get back into the swing of things. When these parks open, many of our favorite table-service locations will be serving guests again. With the added health measures and limits on capacity, Disney suspended new dining reservations and canceled existing ones. Now, dining reservations are coming BACK to the Disney parks!
Despite Disney World reopening its theme parks beginning on July 11, some guests may be weighing the pros and cons of keeping their upcoming Disney World reservation for a number of reasons.
With new realities such as an advance reservation system to enter the parks, no fireworks or parades, no character dining, and sanitation concerns, it’s completely understandable that travelers may be reconsidering their summer vacation plans.
Magic Kingdom
Disney offered a slew of automatic refunds during the park closures. Now that the parks will be open again, however, it may be more tricky to get everything refunded. While we cannot decide for each guest if they should cancel or not, we CAN offer some insight into what the repercussions might be.
If a guest selectively chooses to cancel their upcoming vacation, here’s what they can expect will happen.
We’ve been actively following the developments with Disney World’s Reopening, which begins July 11th.

One major issue that guests ran into early on was the inability to book new Advance Dining Reservations through Disney. It seems that might have changed!
