Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[andyman8]

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

My guess is that whatever Recovery Discount is applied towards the new room would either virtually negate price difference or make it minimal. We'll see tomorrow, but like I said if budget is a big concern, I'd call sooner rather than later tomorrow.

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

I’m so envious you found a way!!
I’ve been brainstorming all day and may have checked eBay several times to try and do the same

Is there a better number to call?

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

I don't know if you read my earlier post, but I am planning a visit to Walt Disney World to dump all of my Disney collection on their door step should they charge me MORE after being kicked out for the NBA. If you want to do the same, I'll swing by and pick you up. I am in shock about this situation.

We might not know this yet but wondering - how many times can we move a "recovery" discount room? Say I rebook one of my reservations for 2021 instead of outright canceling it, can I likely move it to a different 2021 date later if I change my mind and keep the recovery discount?

There have to be a lot of people with no idea when will be the slower time at work next year.

Lol....I did see your post!! Swing by! I won’t dump my Disney stuff on their lawn, but my dogs might have a few gifts for them

Fingers crossed for you!! I think I lucked out because I needed military tickets and our base has been stingy with refunds, so a lot of people are out $$ right now and stuck with tickets they can't use.

I won't lie, I'm impressed with myself this weekend. I managed to get both tickets and a new reservation in the middle of a booking halt (you can't stop my addiction Disney - try as you may). I have spent WAY too many hours on the internet though, and with tomorrow finally being SOON, I don't see that getting much better in the near future.

That’s some commitment. Wow.

The other day I swear the little arrows to lead to the next page on a resort page were little the beer emoji. Losing it!

I’ve had that with the beer mug emoji as the placeholder icon for something on MDE. It wasn’t your imagination. It was the highlight of my day on the day it happened. I wish I’d screenshotted it, to be honest.

I, for one, wholeheartedly support a "cocktails near me" feature on MDE. Glad Disney IT is finally reading my Christmas list.

So is Disney no longer offering the free upgrades for those people whose original hotel they booked is closed?

Someone elsewhere shared an email they got tonight that states unless they (customer) chooses to upgrade, their trip will be automatically cancelled.

That's even better!

Been discussing it for the last I don't know how many pages.

And still nothing concrete!

I do not have time to read previous pages

Welp....
Tomorrow morning is going to be a challenge. Booking park days on my IPad while calling to find out where they are moving me .
Multitasking at its finest.

Out of curiosity, have we figured out if Shades of Green is included? It looks like they have not come out and confirmed anything.

I'm going to try. I've got a July res. I'll report back..hopefully at 730am!

My reservation isn’t till December... I’ll be waiting patiently for you all to post but I’m betting half of you get free moves and half will be told they have to pay, Disney communication at its finest.
