Walt Disney World has released a resort reopening timeline for 2021, with new dates for hotels that were simply TBD. . In this post, we’ll take a look at the schedule, how refurbishments and construction are impacting opening dates, and offer commentary.
In the months since the parks reopened, Walt Disney World has resumed operations at numerous hotels, starting with those on the Skyliner gondola and monorail routes, and also opening some other properties that are only connected to the parks via bus transportation.
Let’s start with a look at the resorts that are currently operating at Walt Disney World, followed by the hotel reopening timeline for 2021.
Here are the Disney Vacation Club & Deluxe Villa resorts that are currently open at Walt Disney World as of December 2020:
Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House

Bay Lake Tower at Contemporary Resort
Beach Club Villas
BoardWalk Villas
Boulder Ridge Villas at Wilderness Lodge

Note that it might appear some hotels are listed on the ‘currently open’ list above and the ‘reopening timeline’ below. However, that’s because some resorts have both standard hotel room wings and Disney Vacation Club villa wings. In many cases, only the DVC wings of the properties are open, with the hotel side yet to open.
Here’s the new timeline for 2021 Walt Disney World resort reopenings:
March 22, 2021 – Disney’s All Star Movies Resort
May 30, 2021 – Disney’s Beach Club Resort
June 6, 2021 – Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Summer 2021 – Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
