Oh dang, that’s a huge bummer. I guess we’ll have to take our luggage with us to the park on our last day. I get them doing these “limited experiences” but it drives me crazy that prices are the same/higher for them. I’m just trying to use the last bit of my AP. :/

Greetings from the airport, Disney-bound! In update regarding applying the annual pass discount to my reservation starting the 17th. Despite calling exactly at 7am, I was on hold for 2 hours. While on hold, I booked a new reservation (same dates, resort, room, etc.) as the reservation that was glitching and not allowing me to update the discount. When I did get through to a CM, she recommended just canceling the original reservation and did that. All park reservations associated with the original room reservation are intact!

I’m sure this has already been posted, but figured I would post here before getting on the plane!

Wait wait wait wait wait, your reservation for July 17th?? I paid a ridiculously high rack rate for Pop starting the 17th, time to get on the phone!
Edit: Just re-booked Pop online! Soooo happy, that saved me like $160 for my 4 nights.

You could probably get the resort to hold your bags and pick them up after you leave the parks

People want to get the merechendise while they can.... and probably a lot going up on ebay.

I still think it's crazy. I guess you can only fit about 4 people in there at one time, though.

 

[wareagle57]

is this for the gift shop you go through when exiting the ride?

Yes. Splash down photos. I couldn’t tell if Briar Patch was open. I don’t think it was. Lots of people walking around with huge bags full of merch from there.

Which made me wonder, are they allowing guests to send their merch to their hotels or front of the park for pickup? I’m guessing no.

Looks like they took down the attraction poster for HAE - makes sense since it isn't being offered now

It looks so sad and empty. HAE isn't gone forever, it should have just been left as a nice reminder.

SDMT at 15 minutes. Everything else 10 minutes or less.

Now that sounds like an awesome time!

Big bummer, but saves me a call to ME today! My tags for July 19 still haven't arrived, I guess now I don't need to worry.

Even the ducks are ready

This is the news we didn't know we needed ♡

If Florida did contact tracing how many would we find originated at the honey wall?

I think most WDW illnesses start at the honey wall

Better sell the stuff quick on eBay before the general public realizes Disney has plenty of stock in their warehouses

We bought ours for gifts and for ourselves. I wasn’t worried about it selling out. 50% off is very dangerous to my wallet.

I was just thinking the same thing. Even if they arent doing the ME Bag Check In at the resort they should still be able to hold them while you go out to the parks on your departure day and then come back and get them when you get on your ME trip back to the airport.

The post did mention that luggage storage and delivery from Bell Services is still available.

All these changes... Getting rid of the Magic piece by piece... I just dont see how Disney will ever be the same again if things dont get back to normal... I MEAN LIKE THEY WAS A YEAR AGO!!!!!!... Cant do this, cant do that, have to do this, and we wont do that again... I just sit down and cried... I mean I spend everyday of my life basically planning my next trip and how it can be Magical... I feel like something has died (the magic).. And I dont want to go if I cant hug GOOFY!!!

Kind of off topic....... I paid for our trip next week with my debit card thats linked to MDE. I was wanting to use a different credit card for my expenses on this vacation. When doing mobile ordering can I add an alternate card or is there something else I need to do?

Mobile ordering uses whatever card you have set as your default card on MDE.

2 parties per dinosaur time rover. You do NOT stop in pre show.

Do you have an iPhone? Add it to Apple Pay maybe?

This might help:

Has anybody heard how they are handling Rider Switch at the parks?

If I delete the card on file will it screw up my upcoming reservations at all?

Where do I go to look at current offers? My reservation starts this weekend but I'd love to save more money if possible, I'm not AP.

Go to View Special Offers under “Places to Stay”. I think the Passholder discount is the only one currently available.
