Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[osufeth24]

If they gave me just my regular AP, or DVC discount on ShopDisney they’d get a heck of a lot more money from me, let alone the 30% discount

Ya I don't understand why they can't do this

 

[Sandiz08]

I’ll take a good Disney visa discount right about now.

The good news is that spots are being reallocated from theme park day guest bucket to AP bucket for July and August.

The bad news is that Disney has decided the only options for APs now are going to be take a 30 day bonus or cancel your pass. Some people were hoping for AP freezes or other bonuses.

No word of extra days for APs correct? Meaning days beyond the three already allotted.

Emails start going out today with these 2 options (30 day bonus or cancel. You have to call AP line to cancel) Must decide by August 11

I guess that debunks the 4 options rumor too then.

25 cents a day is the refund

Throw in an anytime FP for Magic Carpets and I am sold.

At least make APs available again so I can opt out of my pass and renew using the refund money. What a waste of money this pass would have been. I should have known there would be a pandemic in 2020 before a bought my pass last October, that’s my fault

Yeah right. Anytime FP for THE most popular ride in WDW? Want to stay in Cinderella Castle for free for a week too?

They can't do it because it would be abused. Disney doesn't want you buying up online merchandise for your friends, family or worse-to resell online for profit, etc. They make you go on property because then you can be photographed for the walk of shame all the way out the park with your garbage bags full of merchandise you plan to resell for huge profits (I'm looking at the Splash Mountain black market resellers)

No word of extra days for APs correct? Meaning days beyond the three already allotted.

Just the 30 day bonus and reallocated bucket park passes

Disney's term is "user error"

 

[rstevens333]

It looks like you can cancel and still use the pass until August 11?

That's interesting. I wish traveling were safer. I have like 10 1/2 months left on a pass which is probably going to be tragically underutilized.

That’s what I was afraid of with this attraction. I 100% believe that if they cannot run this specific one fully, it shouldn’t be run at all. The preshows here are unlike any other attraction, not like walking through the silly FoP one.

I don't know why they did this necessarily. From what I could tell from WDW Couple's video, the social distancing was working just fine on the preshow after the initial kinks.

 

[Pdollar88]

It’s tempting to cancel my pass and rebuy with the refund. But I’ll probably just take the extension.

If I can go in early 2021, I’ll still break even. I’m out of state and don’t get many trips to an AP anyway. It’s hard to know what to do!

 

[DGsAtBLT]

A DATE!! Not gonna lie, it was a little scary seeing all the tag notifications coming in here, my heart was racing knowing it was definitely AP something .

All we can really hope for at this point I guess. Not that this is fantastic news or anything, but in my mind anything coming back is “bonus” money now. So I guess theres my AP bonus from Disney . We are usually once every 2-4 year visitors, but this year was a special exception with an anniversary trip and family trip (the latter being cancelled), so it was extra exciting getting to be passholders for our big “Disney year”. Maybe in a few years we can try that again, any excuse to go back more often right?

 

[vinotinto]

The best part about the 30% AP merch discount? That it wasn't in place during the AP previews and all those eBayers that cleaned out the Splash store missed out on an extra 10% off. Karma!

Well, I thought my guess for the "early July" e-mails going out today was solid......11:59:59 PM Hawaiian time zone.

In any case, we selected via their link the full cancellation (you don't have to call). Resort only hopping this fall/winter.

As you can see above she used a loophole with the special event, so I was mistaken.

That said, my point stands, by entering two parks she is as much risk or more to the guests she complained about and to the CMs she complained to. She had exposed herself to far more contact points and people then all those in MK that evening who had remained in that one park.

So I guess Disney shouldn't be letting people "hop" from a theme park to DS later in the day? Or CityWalk or Uni or a resort TS or offsite for dinner? Or allow guests who arrived that morning in MCO to go to a park later in the day? Disney never claimed they weren't letting people hop due to a reduction in "contact points".

They’re a day early for my July 15th 11:59 PM guess, wow impressive of them!

Looks like they just fixed the form a few minutes ago. You can now select your options. Guess it was another glitch earlier today.

Did you get an email? I don’t have anything yet but when I do get them they’re late.

Went into the personalized link (didn't need the e-mail). Once logged in, it has 2 options to choose from. They state they will follow-up with an e-mail confirmation.
