Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[sara_s]

Gustin pointing out CSR looks like next to fall this year.

I’m not even bothering to waste my time and call Disney about Poly. If I lose CSR part of my split stay I’ll cancel the whole thing at once.

Hmm I have multiple CSR reservations between Nov and May (mix of GDT and CSR). I’ll keep an ear out and call to see what my options could be - should we come to that bridge.

Just went to CSR page to check Nov availabilities and got this pop up:

Edit: GDT standard and water view rooms are bookable right now for mid November

Just tried the same dates I did before in mid-Nov and all the rooms are showing availability again!

PHEW! Disney IT FTW

Sorry guys

Time to remind myself of the Disney booking rules
1) do not panic
2) be patient
3) see 1
4) be flexible
5) see 1

I will say that a big conference I know of that happens at CSR every April is now happening in Dallas next year...but that could just mean they know they wouldn't have enough attendees (in person) to make CSR worth it?

So far, the only resorts (non-dvc) scheduled to be open through Spring 2021 are:

Grand Floridian
Yacht Club
CSR
CBR
POP
AoA
Riviera

Am I missing any? And we aren't really sure on GF, CSR or AoA?

Riviera is DVC.

By the way, while the Swan is already open, it looks like the Dolphin will reopen to Guests tomorrow BUT will close again on September 13. From that point on, the Dolphin will only be open on Friday and Saturday nights until November 20 when it will return to a full schedule (supposedly). Very, very strange.

Strange indeed but having stayed there, the weekends were jammed and the week was dead.

I think it's just the club access rooms that aren't available.

I think GDT may well open (maybe) but I suspect the rest of the resort rooms will stay closed.

Wow, doesn’t quite hit how many resorts are remaining closed until they’re all listed together like that.

Did we get played and there's no news?

May be the opposite.. the Tower rooms may need an overhaul after they’re vacated by the NBA. They’ve been used as training rooms, physio therapy rooms, Mail depots, equipment rooms, storage areas... and as home away from home for the teams - there’s been furniture removed and crazy things brought in for the comfort of the players.

Still early by Disney news dump standards... lol

If the news is dealing with DL it's still early on the west coast. It's only 1:44pm...

I forget that there are other time zones lol I am central so I forget about having disney on both sides of me!

Yep, I said that before the teams arrived and got attacked for suggesting the teams would not be leaving the rooms in pristine condition

Where have you read this?

GDT is/was a brand new resort. It wasn't even open for 10 months. Would be very surprising if they already need a refurb due to NBA players. I highly doubt grown men have damaged the guest rooms that much.

What could they have removed from the rooms? There's hardly any furniture in them...perhaps the convention area needs some work, but highly doubtful those are in great demand right now anyways.

Also, I still haven't received my AP Tinkerbell magnet

Mine arrived today.
