Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

No where since the early 2000's to my knowledge.

That’s what I was thinking - who researched for that article?!?

Where can you get a $263/night room at GF??

Seriously, if that were the rack rate at GF I'd never stay at a moderate again.

I just used it as an example not saying it would be 10 months. I'm just saying that people shouldn't get their hopes up for new attractions to be opening soon. That's all

Then don’t give out dates because people will believe such and what you said is not correct.

Yes, the phone line is only for dining reservations between 6/22-7/10. If you’re looking for dining after that, don’t call.

I thought for sure we'd get some info today due to that. There are people who check-in before July 11 who don't even know what resort they are at (or if they even have a resort) and have to fly blind making dining reservations.

Group bookings... a whole different division. fwiw.. I’ve had a very similar price at the Poly and a few stays well under $200 per night at the YC. (August exclusives )

Just remember.. There is a great big beautiful tomorrow.

and I bet you we won't hear anything then either!!

(I've now put that out in the Universe so Disney can challenge me by actually providing information!!)

 

[SaintsManiac]

Starting to think we won’t hear anything else until Friday. With dining opening up tomorrow for those going before the parks open, I bet they won’t want people calling.

I feel like it makes more sense to do a resort announcement before the reservation system announcement. If they are going to price us value peasants out, that's less people crashing the system to get them.

Hopefully, in a post-covid world, if tournaments are booked in the future, dates and resorts will be set far in advance so, instead of people being bumped or moved, there simply won't be availability at the chosen tournament resorts.

So that's exactly the issue. We don't anticipate being in a non-COVID world for a while. The NBA is planning to restart next season's training mid-November. It's not a stretch to think that if this season at Disney is successful, something similar may take place for next season. That is precisely why I am saying that thinking that these issues will not apply beyond this summer and fall is not understanding the long-term impact.

I didn't think they were very good this year TBH I got a killer Poly deal a few years back though!

Please Disney, throw us Pop Century Peasants a bone and tell us SOMETHING. Just a little hint!

At this point I think friday will be the earliest.

I say that becasue starting tomorrow people with pre-july 11th reservations can make ADRs so phone lines will be filled with those people so I don't think there will be any announcement that would cause more people to call in until they get the pre-July 11th things taken care of.

Friday night news drop maybe?

So, I reported this on the resort thread, but I spoke with a CM today who told me that I'd be able to modify my late July reservation starting Monday and that, in fact, the rest of July check-ins should be able to modify come Monday if their resort is closed. She didn't give me any other info and, of course, take that with a big ol' grain phone CM salt. Still...Monday? Soon?

Can I hire you as my TA?

Same.. but I hadn’t checked them for this years (cancelled) trip because they weren’t offering anywhere I wanted to stay.

You want to go to Disney World?

Scott Gustin already said this info is inaccurate.

I can't see the tweet. What info is inaccurate?

The quote from the governor is. They have had 260 cases overall not out of the 500 recently tested. Only two positives from those 500.

Disney company pays the NBA billions for TV rights. NBA is basically paying Disney with their own money. Could have at least charged full rates.

If they get theme park view for that price, I’m gonna be pissed

I don’t understand this mentality. We have no idea what they are paying.
