All Star Movies Update - noticed Disney added some operating hours to the following...

Great signs for the pending 3/22 reopening.

This is a very valuable compilation. Thank you. I had heard that the California Grill has not opened its brunch back up. Is that right?

Thanks for the note.

I am under the impression that Brunch has not returned yet. Wish it would though!

Just noting Disney has updated the All-Star Movies Know Before You Go page in advance of the 3/22 reopening. I've updated the Page 1 post.

Awesome thread! Thank you for this, very helpful in planning! I might be missing it but not seeing it listed under BLT, has top of the world lounge reopened? Last I knew it was still closed but not sure if I missed it reopening.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention - I had overlooked TotWL given its niche audience. As far as I know it is still closed. I'll add that to the CR/BLT page above. Thanks!

At least a couple of small updates....

BWI/BWV - BoardWalk Joe's Marvelous Margaritas (reopening 4/8/21)

SSR - Turtle Shack Poolside Snacks (reopening 4/6/2021)

If the GF is open how come you can't stay in main building?

If the GF is open how come you can't stay in main building?

With no CL available, Disney has not made the main building a bookable room category - unfortunately. They have been putting some people in the main building, but it’s random.

To me, I thought it would have made sense to make it a bookable room category for now, just with no CL and adjust the price - but I guess not something they wanted to offer/mess with. In theory CL will be back at some point.

FYI - I notice the Backstretch Pool Bar at SSR now has hours posted starting 4/6/2021 through 5/2/2021.

FWIW - noting that Geyser Point at WL and Trattoria al Forno both now offer “To Go” mobile ordering in the app. Great to see two new options added to this service.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Great to be able to add a material new update to Page 1: BWI will be reopening 7/2!
