Disney has reorganized vacation options in two collections: a reorganized Disney Collection and an updated World Collection.

Within the Disney Collection, you’ll find both “Disney Stays” and “Disney Experiences.”

Disney Stays include the 15 Disney Vacation Club Resorts, but for eligible Members, also include traditional Disney Resort hotel exchange options in the heart of the magic and beyond.

Disney Experiences include such exchange options as Disney Cruise Line voyages, Adventures by Disney guided trips, National Geographic Expeditions and 2-night Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experiences.

Interval International options, meanwhile, are part of the new updated World Collection, which for eligible Members also includes Concierge Collection properties across the globe.

On January 26, 2022, the Grand Floridian Spa will resume offering a wide range of full-service spa treatments to Disney guests. Massages, exfoliation treatments, manicures and pedicures are just a few of the products which will be offered. 

Specific health and safety guidelines have not been disclosed, though Disney does state: “We continue to keep the safety of our guests and cast members top of mind, and your experience may be different from your last visit.”

Reservations are available now for dates beginning January 26. 

There is no word on a reopening for the spa at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa or other locations around Walt Disney World. Both the Grand Floridian and Saratoga Springs facilities had previously operated under the name “Senses.”
