Milestones are for celebrating – whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, graduation or personal achievement. And now, for the first time since March 2020, guests can celebrate new milestones and stay in the magic at all Disney Resort hotels that are part of the Disney Resorts Collection at Walt Disney World.
The final resort to reopen is Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort, which began welcoming guests back today. Disney cast members were all smiles as the first guests arrived, and enthusiasm only grew as guests once again played, dined and enjoyed their favorite sports-themed areas of the resort.
As with any milestone, congratulatory wishes were in order – this time, from fellow cast members at neighboring Disney Resort hotels.
Throughout our phased reopening at Walt Disney World, approximately 70,000 cast members were welcomed back in a variety of roles. From housekeeping to merchandise, engineering services to food and beverage, these cast members bring to life the world-class service Disney is known for. And they sprinkle a little pixie dust while they do it, joining in on all the themed fun at each resort.
The Disney Resorts Collection offers its own kind of pixie dust, too, with special benefits for guests like early theme park entry during the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration and complimentary on-site transportation. Guests staying in Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts have even more time to celebrate milestones in our theme parks, with access to extended evening theme park hours* in select theme parks on select nights. Visit Disneyworld.com for more information on these benefits.
Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for updates as new and returning experiences
debut at Walt Disney World. Until then, it’s off to work we go!
*For theme park entry, a valid admission, park reservation and Resort ID are required.
