Reports like this make me so sad. Our flights from BIL (Montana) have stayed consistent or gone up throughout the pandemic. In the case of United, we’ve lost our early flight out that made it possible to land in time for dinner.
So if you don’t call they’ll just take your money and not provide the service? Not very Disney-like.
I can get $54-$66 round trip from MA for most dates I’ve checked in Oct/Nov/Dec. I still check every couple of days even though I am not going anywhere.
I agree that requiring people to explicitly request refunds that they are owed is not the most customer friendly. However, since people with 2020 park hoppers can use those tickets until 9/26/21, Disney can't just refund all the hoppers because people might want to hold onto them and use them next year.
Disney marketing genius! Associate safety and cleanliness with Disney characters. Character cavalcades at the parks. The parks, therefore, are clean and safe. Travel to WDW (or insert other open park) is safe!
Right, I mean if you show up to a trip the second week in January and park hoping still isn’t available, I wonder if that triggers an automatic refund or if you’d be contacted about options. Totally get it isn’t an automatic thing right now for all open PH tickets, that wouldn’t make sense. It will be interesting to see what they say ahead of 1/1/21 as most of us seem in agreement that park hopping, despite being sold, most likely won’t be available quite yet.
18+ year marketing vet here so I find it fascinating. On food network I was seeing the more family friendly Magic is Here ads with Christmas undertones, appealing to the moms perhaps? But on sports networks it’s turned into more of the Incredibles graphics and safety messaging. Appealing to the dads perhaps?
Yup, 40-70 min waits all across the parks.
Yeah, the 2021 hoppers are a big question mark right now. What will they do if hopping is still suspended 1/1/21? Who knows? Maybe they'll extend 2021 tickets and keep the same "call us" refund policy as 2020 hoppers. Alternatively, I wouldn't be surprised if they choose to do weekly rolling hopper refunds until hopping returns (like they did with reservations during the shutdown). It's all speculation, of course, until Disney makes an official decision (which these days seems to always be at the last possible minute).
It's been raining off and on so the outdoor attractions close, the others get longer and then everyone rushes to the outdoor ones when they reopen
Agreed. And alot of the increased crowds I think comes from the release of more park pass availability they've been doing, as well as CM being allowed to bring friends and family again.
Its getting more difficult cause they took more spots from the resort guests that aren't showing up and letting in more AP holders and CM's. You know the people Lex Luthor calls low on the totem pole for spending.
