Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Interesting possibility. If that is the case and I had to modify to something way more expensive than my ASMo resort was (which, is, frankly... anything and everything) would they just hold my smaller original RO deposit I put down for ASmo and have me pay the remainder (house payment size) for the rest of the stay since they can't run my CC?

I have plenty of room on my CC as I never carry balances so I'm not worried about it ... just wondering.

I would think because CMs from home may not have the data security as the servers do at Disney.

That's why I referred to it as restrictions.

Yes, the verbiage is to restrict. But, let's be honest...who would have the capital and the time to pay for lodging for two weeks in self quarantine, only then to go forth to their destination and pay for another week of two? The intention is clear. The only reason it's a "restriction" is because of the possible constitutional infringement that an outright ban would have presented. I completely understood it in March, certainly not now.

He actually did a tour of a standard studio too. Is it possible that different views received the extra bed? Like, just preferred 1BR, not standards? Likely, it was just misinformation since I have no other explanation. We would definitely give SSR a look now after the refurb is complete.

The only section that is renovated was Congress Park, which is a preferred section. They had just started on The Springs when construction shut down,

All standard sections are not yet renovated. So, the only 1 bedrooms sleeping 5 would be the ones in Congress Park...the rest are 4 still.

It really is a distinction without a difference. Asking people to quarantine for 14 days is, in effect, banning them. But some people are sticklers and insist the exact wording must be used. So while in practice it’s a ban, technically it’s a restriction.

So odd. Thank you for the information!

More likely cause many people from those states either have family in Florida or homes, so staying at either for two weeks is doable.

It’s absolutely doable for some, yes.

I’vd planned cruises leaving from a local port with 20 hours notice. I would need at least 30 days to figure out a Disney World vacation and flights.

Yeah, flights alone are hard at 30 days. I was thinking more, I guess, about people arranging it with work.

That's the same policy that has been in place since March 14th, right?

I’m not sure there are all that many people that have family or a second home in Florida. I know those that were trying to get out of NY in particular did, but vacationers? Not so much. But sure, if you have family and can afford and manage to get 3 weeks off, you could do it. Although, I’m not sure how many people really want to stay with relatives for 14 days or how many relatives want them to when you’re in quarantine because you’re supposedly a health risk. Quarantine means you don’t interact with other people. For everyone else, it’s not doable.

Disney has added that BCV guests may use the Luna Park pool and the quiet pool at BWV to the resort info page that stated Stormalong Bay was closed. On hold to move DVC resorts yet again.

Let’s hope those resorts don’t have many people. The pool is going to be packed with shortened hours and less to do.

I think so but they haven’t communicated much on TiW.

 

[jsbowl16]

Has there been any word on whether ice machines will be open at the resorts and if they will still be selling the refillable mugs with the dining plan not available?

Does this mean they’ve already been extended and are reflecting an expiration date mirroring 7/11 as the start date?

Interesting! There were suspicions resort hopping might not be allowed due to the rule you can’t enter a resort unless you have a TS reservation” thing but maybe this means Disney guests will be exempt from that?...

 

[chicagoshannon]

I just read a post on Facebook of someone who switched their Jambo house reservation from beginning of July to Saratoga Springs July 17 but then waitlisted Jambo. The waitlist came through today. So maybe it will be open??

I wonder when that will lift? I'm in NJ but flying out of Pennsylvania....do I count as restricted? If I do can I stay at relatives in PA for 14 days then fly to FL and be good to go in all parks?

Do we still not know if an AP voucher counts as tickets?

Not sure if this is concrete proof but I have a resort reservation for Sept 2021 and the only "ticket" I have is one AP voucher and I got the email saying I will get early access to the system
