The last of the character interactions in Disney will be reopening in early 2023. Ariel’s Grotto opened yesterday, and Enchanted Tales with Belle opens on February 19th.
As of January 15, full housekeeping is returning to Disney hotels.
Disney is also revamping their reservation system within the parks. Although specifics are not currently available, it sounds like annual passholders will be able to enter any park after 2 PM without a reservation, with the exception of Magic Kingdom on weekends.
Blizzard Beach is closed today due to cold whether but is currently scheduled to reopen tomorrow, Tuesday, January 24th.
