Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[bpx2]

I have fallen behind on this thread...maybe someone can help me out. I have a room-only booked at the YC for the first week of August and tickets that have been extended to 9/2021. I want to reschedule to next April. Is it correct I will be able to reserve park days for April on the 28th? Will I be able to modify my resort reservation that day too?

They are part of a sun and fun package

Unfortunately I don’t think you’ll be able to add any days to your tickets until later this summer. So I would book the 2 days of park reservations tomorrow as soon as you can and then hope you can get other days once you can buy tickets again. You may have to wait until you’re actually on property to extend the tickets.

I have been wondering about ride loading. No single rider lines, they aren’t going to stick 2 strangers in a mine car anymore. I would think they would try to keep parties together. As I solo visitor it might be quite nice. Do they cut the preshow stuff out like the 2 rooms before POF? All of our accumulated Disney knowledge is useless now.

This peasant is very happy! I figure the Skyliner is one of the healthiest forms of transportation right now, between the ventilation and low capacity limit, and would have been sorry to move for that reason. Keeping fingers crossed!

The Skyliner really does seem suited to social distancing doesn't it? Waits might be slightly longer if they're not allowing parties to share, and I wonder how sanitizing cabins would work.

Here in NYC our transit authority has been experimenting with UV light to sanitize subway cars. This is on top of wiping down surfaces in cars when they pull into end of the line stations. Maybe Disney is looking into similar technology for the Skyliner, monorails, etc.

So sorry to ask this but I have two day tickets attached to my resort check in for July 15 and I really need those changed to 7 day tickets before tomorrow’s park reservation openings. (Long story on why only two day tickers) if I hear of my resort change today is there any chance they would let those be changed to the 7 day verses two since I do already have tickets attached and they are just for the wrong amount of days for my resort stay?

I would think the park system will work like the FP system did. You couldn’t book 5 days of FP with 2 days park tickets. The number of ticket days not length of stay is determining factor.

Anyone know if they are taking calls? My MDE looks messed up...says it can't display any friends and family and doesn't have the right people listed for my reservation (just ghost placeholders). I've been on hold with the tech support line for over an hour. I emailed about it a couple days ago and no response, so I thought I'd call.

For MDE you need to call 407-939-7765. They should take your call.

What will help with the park’s reservations for guest with packages they will only have the ability to book during there stay(at lest common sense says so)?

It amazes me how many people who have reservations for value resorts are disparaging OKW and SSR as if they are not massive upgrades to what they booked. Disney, if they actually move you, are giving you a room that is far superior, in a resort that actually feels like a resort. As a DVC owner, who had stayed in values, moderate, and deluxes, I speak from experience; you should be excited to stay at SSR or OKW as they are really nice upgrades.

As someone who has stayed at all levels (All Star Music, POP, POR, CSR, OKW, & Poly), I would cancel my July trip if we get transferred from All Star Sports to SSR or OKW due to who I’m traveling with. I stayed at OKW with my mom, & it was great-very laid back and relaxed. My travel companion for my next trip, my nephew, would not enjoy it even one little bit. I would rather reschedule later for something he would enjoy for his first trip. It’s not even an upgrade, let alone a “massive upgrade” as you believe.

From what I understand you will be able to book April 2021 start in June 28th

I am not sure if you can "touch" 2020 reservations then at all though so might have to make a separate reservation and then "later this summer" cancel your August 2020 stay

I am just triple checking, the web browser on an iPad should work tomorrow morning. I am getting anxious.

From what I can tell, the poster was saying he currently has tickets A that can be used between now and September 2021. But, when ticket purchases open back up, he is wondering if he can buy new tickets, Tickets B, re-prioritize the tickets, use Tickets B for this trip, and save his Tickets A for next year, for example.

And if he does that, would he lose/keep his park reservations?

From the reports we are hearing, many CMs have said that all that matters is that there is ticket on the account, it doesn't sound like it is attached to any one specific ticket. I could be wrong.

This is my exact question: if we reserve now, but then buy different tickets when we are able to do so, will our park reservations be deleted? This is great news if they will not be deleted. Thank you!

Just a quick thought, I’m booked at Beach Club the first weekend in September. Am I looking too far into things in thinking that that’s why Storm Along Bay isn’t opening right away? Have I just simply lost my mind in this mess?

I was also booked that week and got moved to the Poly

Just trying to clarify if anyone knows, I have a room only booked in Feb 2021, no tickets bought yet. Looks like we have two options: we could call and upgrade to a package with tickets on 6/24 then book park reservations right after or wait till 6/28 and buy tickets separately to keep our current rooms rate then book park reservations?

Has it been discussed yet (and any info out there) on what is meant by allowing Passholders to book length of stay up to 14 days in relation to more than one trip? So if I have two 8-day trips, am I limited to 14 park reservations total, or are we fine with separate trips? I've seen some people say they have 3 trips booked over the next year or so, that would be even more limiting for them.

So if you are booked for 2 nights (3 days) do you reserve parks for 2 days or 3 days?

I think the 14 days is one trip.

Yes and yes.

I'm in same boat - on 6/24 I plan to call to see how much my room rate would go up if I switch to package - if negligible, I may bite the bullet and switch. If a lot, I'll buy tickets at a later time.

This clears up one of my ticketing questions. But I’m curious because I haven’t seen this site before, what are the credentials because I’d like to be able to trust what this article says

I am pretty sure it is length of stay but check out day counts, So, I think 3 days.
