Sharing is caring!

Favorite Grampy is missing Walt Disney World big time. Me and the grandkids haven’t been to a Disney Park since January. That is like forever.

I heard that the Disney World theme parks will start to reopen on Saturday, July 11. The Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park will open first then Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will open on Wednesday, July 15.

I was curious about what would be open the first-day people would be allowed back in the parks. Well, I found a list and thought I would share it with you.

I will breakdown what will be open by Disney park so scroll down to get to the park you are interested in. The park order is Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Of course, the following rides and attractions will be open subject to change at any time by Disney I assume.

What will be closed upon reopening at the Walt Disney Parks?

Favorite Grampy’s is sad to say some attractions and entertainment will be temporarily closed when the parks initially reopen. These include:

  • Parades and nighttime spectaculars
  • Character Greetings
  • Playgrounds

I also heard some experiences may be modified, limited in capacity and subject to availability or closure.

I don’t think Favorite Grampy and the grandkids will be at Walt Disney World on July 11 but we are dreaming about going soon.

I also made a list of all the places to eat at each Disney Park starting on July 11 when it reopens. Make sure to check it out.

When do you plan to go back to the Disney parks? Let me know in the comments below.
