As we approach the holiday season, many Guests visiting Walt Disney World are excitedly making their dining reservations. Find out the first Disney World dining location to announce a “cornucopia of food” for Thanksgiving.
Park Hours
Many Guests visiting Walt Disney World this fall will notice that many things continue to be a bit different. One of the most notable differences relates to the length of time Guests may enjoy the Walt Disney World Theme Parks.
Guests visiting the Disney Parks during the phased reopening in July were greeted with shorter time in the Disney Parks. These hours were shortened even further as Guests returned to the Parks in August.
As more Guests have returned to Walt Disney World, Park hours have continued to be extended. Guests visiting the Parks this November and December will want to check out these updated Park hours.
As always, these new Park hours have been updated on the Character Locator app. The Character Locator app is truly invaluable with the many changes during this phased reopening of Walt Disney World.
Character locator is always updated with the new park hours for walt Disney World and is an invaluable planning tool.
Dining Reservations
With the phased reopening of Walt Disney World, Guests discovered that things were a bit different in regards to dining reservations. The most noticeable difference was when dining reservations may be made.
In the past Guests could book dining reservations 180 days from their Walt Disney World reservation. Guests may now make dining reservations 60 days in advance.
With the phased reopening of Walt Disney World, many dining locations and retail locations have remained closed. The Character Locator website is a great tool to know which dining locations are open, their hours, and also what is now offered on their menu.
Thanksgiving Feast
