[hereforthechurros]

I am sorry I just saw this and did not have the opportunity to ask "Finn" .

The the reindeer in Frozen is Sven Since you mentioned it earlier!

Happens all the time in every company , especially one as large as Disney

Absolutely, but a company like Disney reopening their parks for the first time in 3 months, in a situation where there’s going to be a lot of “They’re opening too soon” backlash, I think this situation is much different than typical leaked information

not to mention there are tons of travel agencies on the phone with Disney at all hours, especially this weekend with the looming possibility of announced plans sometime this week, you don’t think any of those agents would have been able to get ahold of this type of information?

im not saying none of this is true, as I said in that post, phone operating CMs will likely know everything there is to know before an official statement is released in order to fulfill the questions that guests have when they inevitably get bombarded with calls after the announcement is made

Theres no way that a CM on a phone knows this now. Disney has stock analysts and investors — not to mention the entire state of Florida — waiting on their plans. They are not going to risk any info slipping out before they are ready to announce it. You’re talking MAJOR operational changes, you’re talking MAJOR perception issues, you’re talking MAJOR financial implications.

it would have leaked somewhere. It would not be a DVC CM just happening to tell someone who happened to call Florida’s most anticipated secret/policy statement.

Maybe Igper happened to on the phone this morning and he thought he was talking to DeSantis. But otherwise, theres no way Disney releases this info this way.

I called the DVC member services. This is what the CM told me. LIke i said, I did not have my skype on for the entirety of the call, but I did turn it on so that I could go back and listen to what he said. I am not a Disney CM or corporate office for WDW. I personally took the information from the CM as true and canceled my entire Summer plans. Good news is he late banked my posts and used them for my end of September and December trips so that I did not have to borrow and got my OTU points refunded to my card. and if you are inferring that I am lying, then please DM me and I can send you the portion of the call that I did get on skype.

yea that is what i meant sorry

 

[DisSurfer878]

yea that is what i meant sorry

So his name is Sven? Or his name is Finn? I'm confused now lol. You said Finn like 5 times, but now "this is what you meant"

That’s fine, but people should get their “official“ information from Disney. Not a poster on a message board.

Where in her post did she say this was "official" information. She passed along what a CM told her on the phone and it is up to us to decide what to think of the information. I mean this is a "rumor" thread not an "official" information announcement thread.

no he said Sven, my brain just wrote Finn-lol. because he said reindeer from Frozen.

 

[DisSurfer878]

Lol thanks for clarifying haha

Yes, Finn is a star wars character if I remember correctly

Are we sure the phone CM spoke out of turn? We have no real proof either way...

Perhaps today is the day the info changed and so did the “script”. Phone CMs are first contact and should have the most updated info in order to assist guests. If I’m changing my reservations I’d want all the info available in order to do what is right for my vacation. And the changes posted are not small changes - they are very impactful to an expensive trip changing the scope of what we get for what we pay.

Perhaps someone else calling Member services will post as well - for comparison.

She didn’t say that. She’s been very good at NOT saying that... But others seem to be taking it as fact.

Yes agree with all that, look back when they announced the different closures, how many reported cases on thse boards of CMs just hearing about it after the press release. Like you said it is unprecedented, communication snafus happen even more so. That said it is probably true like I have been saying, with all the other info that has been coming out , sports groups in June, conventions this is another data point that lines up with a mid June for the resorts and a soft opening of the park(s)

Also when they "give the for internal use only" guidance to the CMs they 100% expect for it to leak, might hope it doesn't but knows it will.

And no doubt they are monitoring this thread heavily.

Only on the Dis can there be a 15 post response to a correction of a name where the name is really not important
toying with the tolerance line that Ryan has on off topic sorry

 

[MI_firefighter]

YES.

Thanks Karen! Now back to watching the tennis match that is this thread.

I am surprised with how quickly most are dismissing these rumors. As if Disney isn't going to have major changes when they do open.
