Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Sandisw]

This weekend feels like the eye of the hurricane with reopening news.

It’s quiet.

But the storm’s still a-comin.

My sources say soon..

Can any DVC members confirm that AKV - Jambo is showing no availability for the next few months? I know The Mara is expected to reopen, but if that’s the case, that doesn’t bode well for AKL’s reopening prospects.

Yes

Like within a week or so soon, or buckle up soon

The people need to know! I miss the wild discussion that comes when we get real news.

Soon is a relative term. We need more. Like am I safe to run pour a glass of wine, or should I just grab the bottle and get back to the computer.

Baton Rouge here. Just finished the yard work and I'll get some more things done after lunch. Stay safe.

Hey there from Prairieville!

We've used this terminology before so you are safe to answer this way on this thread...

...do we have time to get snacks?

"Soon" means nothing on this thread.

I'm a simple man with simple plans. I have a 9/27 - 10/2 trip at Sports with the 35% room discount. I have an AP but I had to get a 4 day ticket because of the original recovery FD offer. DS has a 4 day ticket too. It would be great if I could have them to take my 4 day tix off but I'm not holding my breath. I can use it later. My biggest concern is what the park experience will be like and the weather. It would be great to get a resort upgrade and the way Disney is plodding along there is a chance we get one, again I am not holding my breath.

I also have a 11/29 - 12/4 trip planned. Because of the closure my to-be extended AP will cover this trip. This one is at Music. I think by then they will have some Values open so I doubt we get moved to a mod or deluxe. It would be nice to get a POP or AoA upgrade.

It would be nice if they released some news regarding resort openings and current bookings and what to expect so I can get back to worrying about the park experience and the weather.

Technically Disney opens back up “soon” as its opening sooner in a timeframe than when it initially closed. So soon could mean June 20th

 

[Tiggr88]

agreed, not a lot of people talking about the fact that team members right now are working at 80% of their wages cause Universal wants to recuperate the money they kept paying them during the closure. (btw most TM are fine with this since they did get paid until almost being recalled and didn't have to go into the unemployment system)

Do we know how long they will only receive 80%?

 

[chicagoshannon]

I'm thinking as soon as they announce which hotel the NBA will be at (so next week) they'll have to say something AT LEAST about where those people will be.

Reminded me of when I was a kid and I asked my mom when. She would say “shortly”.

they don't know

Like soon..."until further notice," soon. Same speed they've moved at since it all started lol.

No specifics yet..just that new info was to go out yesterday...was delayed...only that is might bring a lot more in focus.

Pretty confident early next week...once I have something, I’ll figure a way to share what I can without making the same mistake I did last time!

So curious-
2 things-
#1 For those that had ressies now- 6/21- I’m a bit confused as it has been suggested that these guests can modify at this time- not sure if this is legit or not. Has anyone modified? How soon are you able to modify your stay for?
#2 For those that have a reservation for a pkg -cash stay (not DVC member) booked in a DVC room between 6/22-7/10- Fair game to stay w no parks open? If reservation not cancelled- has your room rate been adjusted to reflect room only (taking out park tix and free dining). I understand that ppl that had free dining should expect 35% off- but how do you know what your new room rate is? *DTA line for travel consultants not helpful either.

Hahahaha....im just not good at this rumor stuff? Thought that was innocent enough...

Not expecting this weekend any longer.

I also hesitate in sharing info. I was once told that because I'm a Mod whatever I say is taken as fact which I make it very clear, when it's a rumor I say rumor, and it's always a rumor until Disney announces it.

No mistake made. Wild speculation based off of literally anything we can get is part of what we do here.

We appreciate whatever you are willing and able to share! (or I do anyway!)
