Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[CaliforniaGirl09]

I think I saw one or two people post that they've been told their multi-day tickets can be used as whatever number of individual tickets.

I will cross my fingers and I guess I'll find out tomorrow. I really don't want to wake up super early tomorrow. I hate these east coast times!

Scroll to the very bottom of this page under Rooms and Packages.

Holy cow...it IS at the very bottom! Huge THANK YOU to everyone here for all of the info!! I just thought I'd only be reserving parks at the crack of dawn but would've had ZERO clue I will also need to call to modify our POFQ reservation!! Can't wait to read everyone's experiences tomorrow!
Now game faces! This is what we play for, Disney!!

This was high school algebra for me...

Why do you think I majored in English?

Hi everyone,
I need some clarification do you think that we will have to confirm each day for parks individually then add more? Or do you think that we can select them all at once?
Last, any tips for tomorrow? I’m nervous. Do we think there is any chance Disney open the system early? I’m so anxious

It’s probably going to be like Fast Passes, select date pick park and then you are asked if done or make another selection for different day with a final confirm to lock your picks in.

I think I saw someone post earlier today that it’s going to be individual daily reservations with confirmations at the end of each day. Not an add to cart and check out at once type of situation.

Guess in some ways that is good - you definitely get that day set, but also annoying if you find out a later day is full for one park and now you need to change other days or whatever to adjust

So next month people can call and book packages with tickets and make reservations for parks, but I can’t call and add tickets to my already reserved room for December.

By the time tickets are able to be added for people like me, they won’t have any park availability.

We are in same boat but for August

Lemme get this straight.....we’re arriving 7/11 and leaving 7/15 a.m. During our stay, only 2 parks are open. We’re booked at the CSR, which has been given away to the NBA. If I get moved anywhere, I’ve gotta pay extra?? After already paying 100% for a 25% trip?? Disney has always made things right be. If they boot me AND want me to pay extra....I’m gonna be REAL mad

This whole situation reminds me of the fyre festival ja rule tried to throw in the Bahamas. I am picturing a lot of tents, cheese sandwiches, and fingers crossed.

I'd call tomorrow morning and try to move to Pop then, which would likely be cheaper.

So I changed my plans, I mean why not?, it seems to be the going fad. On a whim, I decided to check out what the AP hotel rates were at UO for the portion of my WDW trip that left me homeless, and I found that Royal Pacific was actually cheaper than the Hilton (which was my knee jerk replacement). I canceled the Hilton and booked at Royal Pacific, with free FOTL, so that's pretty cool. Now here's my question...have we found out yet whether APs can have 3 days worth of park reservations when they are staying off site in addition to having them for each day of their onsite stay when they're within 30 days of each other. If I can, I want to make reservations for 3 days in the week that I will be staying at UO, and then for the 7 days at CBR for the second week.

Anyone who booked a basic package for 2021 and calls to add your tickets on Wednesday, check and see if they also change your room-rate to 2021 rates!

CM also told me that any changes, including those adding tickets to "basic package" offered this year would have their rate changed to reflect 2021 prices because they didn't book at a guaranteed rate.

Only those who booked room only for 2021 and do NOT add or change anything about reservation will keep rate they booked at.

Now this CM seemed to be wrong about a lot of things so I don't think above is true, but just for you to be sure.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. I'm booked starting Sept 29th-Oct 6 2021, so I just dodged this mess (for 2021 anyway, I have an August and a July for 2020... so tomorrow will be pure insanity anyway). I have a feeling there will be a whole different mess to deal with once they start really playing with 50th bookings though.

 

[Knaedudley]

Except you could be making park reservations and staying offsite. Having a park reservation gives no indication if you are keeping your resort stay. You definitely need to take action on your resort reservation if your hotel is impacted by closures.



Unknown. All that is on DTA is "Guests with current reservations at impacted Disney Resort hotels can request help with modifying their reservation starting Monday June 22. Reservations for stays in 2021 will begin booking on Wednesday, June 24," and apparently that contradicts what is on the WDW website . . . ugh.



Wow. I mean, I know this is information overload for everyone including the people at Disney who have to post on websites and send out notifications, but the info on DTA and the WDW site is just so completely different. I'm just glad we have these boards and other social media sources to get info early each of these mornings so we can find out what people are actually experiencing once a CM picks up the phone (or the park pass system opens). I don't know about you, but I already have a headache and we haven't even started yet! I certainly appreciate all of the info you provide - it's SUPER helpful!

But offsite can’t make reservations on Monday right? Offsite isn’t till later or am I completely wrong only onsite booking on Monday??

I may have made a post on a social media swap page and taught a stranger who could not get a refund how to link as friends and family as well as how to reassign tickets in a grocery store parking lot this morning in order to avoid this situation for my August trip.

...desperate times man

 

[FatBambi]

FWIW, and I'm prepared for either option, but my TA spent a good part of the day trying to find out about if we'd have to pay or not for our move, and she said Disney told her that it would be a no charge move first thing tomorrow morning. Still prepared to pay if I have to, but just to add another drop to the conflicting information bucket.

Well, you will definitely have to change resorts but as to the cost that seems unclear based on the last wording

I gotta believe they will give you at least some option that wouldn't require any extra cost (maybe others that would require extra, but at least one with no extra cost) - otherwise that wouldn't just be bad by Disney Standards but bad by Industry Stamdards

 

[hereforthechurros]

Just praying I get a knowledgeable CM on the phone tomorrow morning because I have QUESTIONS. Not going Karen on anyone I just have a few scenarios I need genuine information on.

 

[disneyfan150]

Will I be able to book an Official Walt Disney World hotel tomorrow with a Disney CM when I call to modify tomorrow?
