Disney Releases Complete List of Experiences Open at all Theme Parks


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


Yesterday, there was a lot of news to take in from Walt Disney World. Is everyone okay? Let’s all take a collective deep breath, because while the Walt Disney World you know and love will look different if you visit soon, Walt Disney has reassured guests that the magic will still be there.

Yesterday, Disney released a list of all of the special events and enchanting extras that will be unavailable when the parks reopen. It includes dessert parties, tours, Early Morning Magic and dining experiences.

New Dates For Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party Released

I, (Maggie) had plans to go on Disney’s Keys to the Kingdom Tour, and it was an experience I was looking forward to the most because it’s something I would not go on with my family.

Many guests were left wondering, “what’s left?”

Today, Disney has announced the experiences at all four theme parks that will be available, including attractions, entertainment and shops, and we have the complete list! Read on to see what you can still enjoy at all of the theme parks.

Certain experiences will be on hold including:

  • parades and nighttime spectaculars
  • character greetings
  • playgrounds

Even though guests may no longer be able to experience everything, characters will still be in the park, including special calvalcades as previously reported.

It is also worth noting as Walt Disney has announced that, “some experiences may be modified, limited in capacity and subject to availability or closure.”

This was meant as a reply to Ian's comment, but it didn't thread.

Why are ticket prices not reduced? Because it takes nearly as many people to run a theme park now as it ever did.
