September 2020 Disney World Closures
During this first phase of re-opening Walt Disney World theme parks, resort hotels, restaurants, attractions, experiences and other offerings may be modified and will be limited in capacity and subject to limited availability or closure. To help you navigate these changes I have put together a list of what will be closed during your upcoming visit.
Please be aware that Disney is continuously re-evaluating their experiences and availability so stay tuned as this list is always changing.
No one wants to head off to their favorite attraction only to find that it is temporarily down. With the following refurbishment schedule, you can plan ahead and save yourself from any potential disappointment.
Below you will find the current list for September 2020 Disney World Closures.
