Forgive me for wanting to steer this thread away from debating masks and politics, but I've been periodically checking on a number of offsite hotels to see what they're opening plans are/when they're accepting reservations over the last few weeks. I've compiled
some of them into a little list here to help us gage when other hotels in the area seem to be guessing that something resembling normal tourism patterns might return to the area.
As a reminder, Disney Resort Hotels are only accepting new reservations with arrivals of 7/1 and later. Universal Orlando's onsite hotels are only accepting new reservations with arrivals 6/1 and later.
Please note that I've tried to exclude timeshare resorts, given they have other factors affecting their decision to reopen, as well as hotels that are currently open as of today.
These are just assumptions based on periodically checking their availability calendars for the last week or two. This could (and likely will) change. This list is also not complete or representative of every hotel in the Orlando area. Here's the key:
Officially announced a reopening
Unannounced opening but consistently been accepting stays arriving on this date and beyond
Unannounced opening and keeps sliding when its accepting new reservations
Closed until further notice (no new reservations for the foreseeable future)
- Rosen Shingle Creek - 6/10
- Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek - 6/1
- Walt Disney World Dolphin - 6/1
- Walt Disney World Swan - 6/1
- Rosen Plaza - 6/10
- Hilton Bonnet Creek - 6/4
- Waldorf Astoria Orlando - 6/4
- Four Seasons Orlando - 6/1
- DoubleTree Suites Disney Springs - 6/1
- Hilton Buena Vista Palace - 6/1
- Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista - 6/1
- Bohemian Hotel Celebration - 6/1
- Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress - 6/1
- Ritz Carlton Orlando, Grand Lakes - 6/19
- J.W. Marriott Orlando, Grand Lakes - 6/10
- Gaylord Palms Orlando - 6/1
- Sheraton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Resort - 6/1
- Radisson Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista - 6/1
- Rosen Inn (Pointe Orlando and I-Drive locations) - 6/1
- Caribe Royal Orlando - 6/2
- Holiday Inn Orlando Disney Springs - 6/18
- Orlando World Center Marriott - 7/1
- Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista/Orlando - 6/16
- Best Western Orlando Disney Springs - closed until further notice (likely due to change in ownership)
- Holiday Inn Suites + Water Park (formerly Nick Hotel) - closed until further notice (likely due to water park)
Obviously, this list nowhere near whole or representative of what all hotels in Orlando are doing, but these are just some of the more popular hotels that have closer associations with Disney or Universal and are discussed a lot on The Dis. Here are
some popular Disney-area resorts that have resumed operations or never closed:
- Margaritaville Resort Orlando (reopened their hotel side this weekend)
- Flamingo Crossings hotels (never closed)
- B Resort & Spa (never closed but has recently reopened pool facilities)
- Wyndham Lake Buena Vista/Wyndham Garden (never closed)
Again, I'm not listing every hotel that is currently opening in the Orlando area; this is just to address a few that are on or very near Disney property that people may have asked about. If anyone has any suggestions or additions I should watch (I'm nowhere close to an Orlando area hotel expert), feel free to PM me and I will add.
