Hi there, Andrew. Welcome to planDisney!
I am happy to report that I'm coming to you live from a lounge chair at the newly reopened
Stormalong Bay! It makes my heart so happy to see the kids splashing around and playing in the sand while fellow Guests float leisurely along the lazy river.
Andrew, from where I am sitting, I can see that the
cabanas are still closed. I just spoke with a Cast Member on duty who confirmed that there is currently no official opening date for the cabanas. However, they are accepting reservations into August. The Cast Member mentioned that since there is no confirmed reopening date yet, you are welcome to check back later for updates. I wish I had a more definitive answer about the rentals for later in July, but it appears that the official opening is still being determined. I'm hoping they will open faster than we can say "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah." Regardless, I'm happy to report that
Hurricane Hanna's is open, and after a fun time swimming, you can still enjoy a No Way José sundae from
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, which may be my next stop!
I hope that on your upcoming trip, you can see
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away opening at Magic Kingdom and race faster than Lightning McQueen at the reopening of
Test Track. You are visiting at the perfect time!
I'm happy you stopped by to visit us with your questions. We are Guests like you, and we love sharing our knowledge and experiences so you can enjoy that Disney magic. Visit us with your questions anytime.
Just keep swimming,
Shonette
