Disney Implements New Guest Rules

On the 4th of July at Walt Disney World Resort, there are certain restrictions in place to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all guests. For instance, Disney has a policy that prohibits outside guests from accessing premium Disney Resrots like Disney’s Polynmesian Villiage and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort.

This measure is put in effect to manage the high volume of visitors and maintain a controlled environment for those staying at the resort. By limiting beach access and pool to resort guests only, Disney aims to enhance the overall experience and provide exclusive amenities for those who have chosen to stay on the property.

This policy not only helps to regulate the crowd levels but also adds an element of privacy and convenience for resort guests looking to relax and celebrate Independence Day in a more intimate setting. By enforcing this rule, Disney ensures that guests can have a memorable and seamless experience while enjoying the holiday festivities at one of the most magical places on earth.

It is unclear if these new policies will exist beyond the holiday weekend. For the time being, it is advised that Walt Disney World Resort guests limit their resort hopping plans.
