Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[gottalovepluto]

I'm starting to lose track of things at this point. We still do not have a date for when room reservations may reopen for 2020, right?

Correct. Disney has only said "later this summer".

I thought the only hotels that could be booked are ones with official opening dates announced?

Hmm not sure. This is the list I saw today:

Y'all can't see it but this is my shocked face that OC isn't going to step in and stop Disney

Has anyone heard anymore about the AP previews? I almost never get the emails and when I have they tend to be many hours or even a day after others.

Yes. This list matches the list of resorts that are open/have opening dates announced.

So if folks want something not on the list they should try again once their is an official date for it's reopening.

So my brother also booked his package today - he is coming last few days of our trip.

So he was part of my planning group in MDE from last trip, so I could still see it said he had a valid theme park ticket, so I cancelled my park day reservations where it was just me and Micky and reserved same parks again with the 3 of us - no problem!

No way

.... and now I want a No Way Jose, it's apparently snack time...

Just checked the UK site:

CSR, POFQ, PORS, CBR is bookable and have availability at a random July date.

Although only GDT in CSR.

Also ALL Stars are available to book on the UK site.

If it helps....

EDIT for 2021

Intriguing... Disney informed US TAs today that the only properties available for booking are ones that have opening dates... wonder if we'll see dates for POFQ/POR/AS soon after all?...

Good to know. The weird thing is why CSR dates are originally able to be booked but then suddenly stop late June for US.

You didn't have to cancel your park reservations and rebook with 3. Once you booked his park reservations, your park reservations for that day would have just increased in number of guests that day (on MDE). at least, that's what it did on my account when I made reservations in a couple different grouping because of differing ticket types.

It was started by an employee though. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't have other employees participating.

She is an Attraction Hostess since 2017, according to Linkedin.



When they were called back, the Virus situation in Florida was a lot different than it is today.

Random people can sign, but I'm sure this employee has it circulating among the other employees she knows.

Unless she has changed her LinkedIn page since yesterday she is a recruiter at Kroeger. That is what it said yesterday with no mention of Disney anywhere.

Wilderness Lodge is bookable also.

But at this point I`m not sure it means anything. We got the offer about the 35% room discount because of lost free dining approx 2 weeks later than the US guests did... Maybe they let us book now than they cancel it 2 weeks later you never know

Is anyone wondering if Disney will delay opening with such a big rise in Covid-19 cases the last few days?

The past like 10 pages were devoted to this topic unless those posts were deleted.

Perhaps we are looking at different petitions. There are currently 3 of them. The one I'm looking at is on Moveon.org

He's just part of planning party so I can only add him to my planning party for the reservations, I can't go in his account and make his own - I don't manage his plans? He's just an option to select when making park or dining reservations.

I think?

I don't know, whatever I did worked!

I just noticed that @rteetz locked the "will packages be released early" thread, but for posterity:
2017: Tuesday June 21st 2016
2018: Tuesday June 20th 2017
2019: Tuesday June 19th 2018
2020: Tuesday June 18th 2019
2021: Wednesday June 24th 2020

Disney appears to have released 2021 packages right on time.

I booked a room only at Pop for January 2021 this afternoon and booked the park reservations. The next trip after that wouldn’t be until May 2021 and my AP should be extended in October to cover those dates, so I am waiting to book that one for now. No issues booking today, which was a relief after the Monday Marathon event. Now, just keeping fingers crossed that my trip doesn’t get cancelled again. If things happen in threes, I have already had three vacations cancelled due to the virus this year. . .

This is the one I am looking at and is the one that every news article I read links to.
