Several Disney World resort hotels have had their reopening dates delayed, and that means there’s a whole new round of affected guests who will need to deal with their reservations. Today, Disney has confirmed that they will give affected guests the option to move their reservation to another hotel at no charge.

Previously in the reopening process, some guests affected by cancellations and schedule changes have had to pay the difference if they wanted to modify their reservation to a different resort. With the current changes, that is no longer the case. Now, those looking to modify can do so at no additional cost.
