Disney World Is Allowing All Guests — Even Adults — to Wear Costumes for the First Time Ever
Adults usually aren’t allowed to wear costumes to the Disney World theme parks during regular operating hours.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will reopen next summer
With a phased approach to reopening, Disney is continuing to welcome Guests back to Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World theme parks and Disney Springs and have been thrilled to play a role in bringing back live professional sports.
As they continue to reopen additional Disney Resort hotels to Guests, they are modifying the reopening date for Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort which will reopen next summer. This schedule adjustment also allows them to complete some refurbishment work at the Resort hotel, including enhancements to the Great Ceremonial House and Guest rooms. They expect work to begin in early October and look forward to sharing more about these changes in the future. The Villas and Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will remain open during this refurbishment.
Disney Cast Members will be able to assist with modifying their reservations to other Disney Resort hotels.
We will continue to monitor the constantly changing environment and its impact on the state of Florida as we find the right time to welcome back even more of our Guests.
The holidays are coming to Disney World after all — in a new way
