Are you ready to pilot the Millennium Falcon, ride on the back of a banshee, travel around World Showcase and walk down Main Street, U.S.A. again?! Count us frogs in! With all of the exciting news on Walt Disney World's upcoming reopening, and all of the changes in health and safety policies and procedures to keep guests, cast members and even the animals safe, we've been feeling a bit overwhelmed with the information overload! Tad and Lily have had a looooot of questions, especially about which rides will be open ("Will we get to go on Slinky Dog Dash? What about Space Mountain?"). If, like us, you're wondering what exactly will be hoppening at the theme parks as they begin to reopen, we've compiled a full list of all the available experiences and attractions at the Disney World theme parks.

General Changes to Experiences at the Disney World Theme Parks

As a brief overview, many of the popular rides will be operating upon reopening, including Avatar Flight of Passage, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Soarin' Around the World — just to name a few (see all of them below). To accommodate physical distancing, some experiences will be temporarily unavailable when the parks initially reopen, including shows, parades, nighttime spectaculars, individual character greetings and play areas. (We've also included a list of the special premium events and tours that are affected.)

However, characters will still be in the parks to entertain guests! Throughout the day, special promenades, cavalcades and cruises will take place at each of the theme parks. You might see Mickey and friends traveling around the World Showcase promenade or cruising on boats down Discovery River. It sounds like they can appear at anytime, so be prepared for magical surprises!

The Disney PhotoPass Service will still be available with temporary adjustments. PhotoPass photographers will not be able to handle guests' personal devices, such as phones and cameras. Where props are in use, they will be thoroughly cleaned between guests. For select props, the photographer may have you stand next to or behind it without making contact, and capture the photo with the best angles and perspective in mind. Before the photographer takes your photo, have your MagicBand or park ticket card ready to scan so they can quickly link your photos to your account.

The shopping experience has a few modifications as well. New collection product launches and limited-edition merchandise will only be available on shopDisney rather than in-person at Walt Disney World Resort until further notice. Pin trading with cast members will still be available through the use of pin boards in select locations. Dressing rooms and package delivery to the front of the theme parks or Disney Resort hotels will not be immediately available. However, you can ship merchandise within the U.S. and in-person returns will be permitted.
