Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[yulilin3]

not yet...soon

I won’t be. Otherwise people will make tons of just in case reservations. I do expect leeway. Like you’re blocked from the system for X number of days if you no show twice (They do something like that with DLR FlexPass APs)

You have to assume 1) Disney cares if people show up and 2) Disney cares if it would cost others the opportunity to get reservations.

I don’t believe either is true. They have no incentive to implement what it would take to track whether someone actually made use of the reservation they had.

Has anyone thought about how Disney will ensure that individuals who have park reservations actually use them? I could easily see a person reserving park reservations for their whole week but only going in the park for one or two days this stealing those slots from other people.

I think they'll just do something like a three strikes and you're out policy for AP holders who don't show up for reservations. For regular tickets, they could just count the reserved day as a day on the ticket regardless of whether you show up or not.

Presently is that soon?

On the podcast, John hinted that there would be information dropping this week. It seems like most of the inside sources have gone quiet which might be another indication.

Yeah but we were also told there'd be information dropping last week.... and that soon hasn't come yet

That’s more or less the policy for Disneyland Flex Pass holders.

I was told to expect important information basically each day this week by my TA.

You don’t think so? With a Disneyland flex pass, if you’re a no show for your reservation 3 times in 90 days you can’t make a new reservation for 30 days. Since they do that already with Disneyland flex passes, I don’t see why WDW wouldn’t do something similar.

Anyone randomly receive the standard email you get when you update your requests or personal information?
"This email is being sent to confirm a recent change made to your Disney account information, such as updating your password, address, phone number or other personal information."

All I did was update the app, I didn't change anything. Well, except now, my password as a precaution. (And that triggered the same email to be sent.)

I'm wondering if whatever they're tweaking in the background somehow triggered the email?

Thanks! Just saw this being discussed in the other thread (I lose track of which thread is rumors and which is on TPAS sometimes : ))

no but I get that every single time I log in.

No, I don’t. Not under current conditions. The rules for flex pass were set up pre-covid. Disney is actively discouraging people from coming, no reason to implement a system to maximize the number of guests that actually get in.

 

[Leigh L]

Ugh that must be a pain.
I have to say, I was surprised that when I came back to my laptop after 20 minutes after resetting, I was surprised to find I was still logged in! Usually, I'm logged out after 5 minutes of being idle when on the website version of MDE LOL
(Hopeful sign?!?)

Easily managed: Walk through the gate then walk out again.

I got one about my D23 account. So I cancelled the debit card associated with it. Just got it half an hour ago. My son also hit one.
