Well this one is going to get a lot of people going nuts

What is it? I can’t see it.

Dates?

11/7-11/14. I’m skeptical this will actually happen.

Just a video of Bob Chapek saying “Soon” with a Smirk on his face as the video fades to black

I'm confused. On the app I can see all four of my guests tickets but if I log into mde on my browser, I can only see the ones connected to my reservation even though I share my plans with the other room reservation.

I have one room booked with three people, and my mom has a room booked with three people. That’s how I am seeing things too. I always book fast passes for everyone. I can see everyone’s ticket on the app but not on my desktop. I can see the other three in my friends and family list. So, I am assuming on Monday when I create a party I can grab those additional three for the park reservations. I at least hope that’s how it works!

The reservation system is called "Disney Park Pass System". That is what you will click on when you want to make park reservations.

I think there will be a bubble for park pass system reservations under My Plans, where there are links (bubbles) to make dining reservations, to buy tickets, etc. That is where the link for FP+ was until they removed it, and I think that is where they may put a new link/bubble to make park reservations.
I think the link in the drop down menu under MDE that says "Disney Park Pass System/learn about theme park reservations" will remain an info link about how to make the reservations.
Just a guess - we will find out s**n!!

Did you email come from Disney Destinations?

Yes

Considering you cant activate an AP until you enter the park, and you cant enter the park without a reservation. If you cant make a reservation without an activated pass, then you’re literally losing out on the entirety of the pass

It’s been stated multiple times on this thread that AP vouchers count as tickets. I’ve got an AP voucher and I got the email saying I could make park reservations on Monday.

· At this time only DVC resorts and the Fort Wilderness Cabins are going to be open. All other resorts are closed to guests. If you keep your current dates, you will automatically be moved to one of these options at no additional charge. If you make any modifications to your reservation, you would have to pay the additional costs for the resort change. I will not be able to tell you which DVC resort you are going to until Monday. We have no say in the resort, but if we request a certain resort there WILL be a charge.only to one of the announced opened resorts, based on availability. Guests in this case will be responsible for any higher room rates/increases in cost.

Me to Me: Don't get those hopes up, don't get those hopes up....

Hoping for the same, thank you☺

Possible peasant party at Saratoga?

Sorry if this has been clarified. Are the tent sites at Fort Wilderness open as well as the cabins?

Just found the bubbles! Never noticed because I always booked FPs through the app!

I agree not sure which it will be!

 

[one_cat]

Does anybody else wonder if Disney is using this opportunity to freeze out the off-site hotels? I imagine they are pretty upset right now...

 

[Broncho52]

I just caught up on 80 pages . I guess I have some reservations to make on Monday. I think I'll start with the day after the Super Bowl at MK, just in case Tom Brady is there.

According to the training TAs received this afternoon to help guide their clients, park reservations will be through the Disney Park Pass System in the dropdown menu. I suppose we will find out for sure on Monday morning.

Sorry if this has been clarified. Are the tent sites at Fort Wilderness open as well as the cabins?

Yes, the campsites are open. I booked a preferred campsite for mid-July.

I don’t have a clue if anyone in here knows but, I have a couple of questions. My TA sent me an email saying that she needed to know if we were still going to go, if we wanted to redo our reservation for another time, or cancel. She said she needed to know by Monday because she needed to get a different resort for us. Our trip does not start until August 27. I thought Pop Century would be open by then. Any idea if they would charge us to move to a different resort? Also, my husband has a seven day PH that I bought from undercover tourist and it is now good until September 26, 2021. What will they do about the park hopper part of that ticket? I do not see how they could refund me. Anyone have a clue about any of this?

actually if you are in a good neighbor resort right now with tickets you are sitting prettier than most of us. You know with some certainty where you are going to be sleeping and you can make reservations with everyone else on Monday...so there’s that

 

[Mit88]

Good Neighbor hotels are getting the same perks as they did with FP+ and Magic Hours. You’re in a better position than APs without park reservations right now

 

[only hope]

So people that bought APs, even before the closure, but hadnt gone to the parks yet to activate them, can now either, not use their APs at all, or get a refund for only 1/3 of the amount they paid to not use their AP.

Thats cool

If your AP hasn’t been activated you haven’t lost any time on the pass as the clock was never started. I don’t think refunds are being offered for unactivated passes (aka pass vouchers). There’s an unactivated AP on our account and it shows an expiration date of 12/31/2030, which hasn’t changed.

So I need to remember when it crashes on Monday morning that it's called DiPPS. Got it.
