Walt Disney will reopen its 1,008-room French Quarter hotel in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, on May 31 after a six-month closure.
The media and entertainment company already has done so with its 2,048-room Riverside Hotel, also part of Walt Disney World.
Additionally, Disney has hired more than 200 reservation agents in the last two months to handle calls to its theme parks and resorts, said spokeswoman Rena Callahan.
"We are seeing excellent signs," Callahan said.
