It’s tough to offer the dining plan if there isn’t going to be enough dining, and so I think they’re a bit stuck.

Sure for next few months, but through Sept 2021? Now that is where I think that they would be acting ridiculous.

Lots of people rebooked that have already lost their recovery booking with no recourse. They won’t get a 35% discount.

Okay, but that was their choice. I can still be upset about the possibility about my vacation possibly getting radically changed. I knew going in that would be the case, but the optics just don't look great imo.

AP here booked with a ticketless package - room & dining. Looking forward to the refund on my dining, but disappointed I wont get a 35% offer for future travel.

Agreed. WDW's biggest mistake in all this was that free dining recovery deal. That has come back to bite them big time. Was shocked they offered it especially starting June 1 (even though I knew I was not going to touch a June or JUly date). Definitely has turned out to be a really bad decision.

Sneaky Disney finally found a use for that thing during this.

And they have to be prepared for the hopefully mythical “second wave” that could mess everything up AGAIN. Even if it doesn’t happen, they have to have plans in place to deal with it. It’s probably smart on their part to disappoint everyone all at once now to avoid doing it slowly month after month.

Emotions are relative to the person.

You really can't do this kind of thing, don't you know we're fragile?

Welcome to the pessimistic side. We have cookies.

Thank you, I feel right at home. It took a lot to get me here, but they finally did it.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

Sorry @SaintsManiac, we don’t even know what rails are anymore.

Clarity maybe? It’s not something unexpected I don’t think

Which makes me wonder if this is more then a reset but for now removing all the "advanced planning" that goes typically with disney "under further notice". No more ADR at 180 and FP at 60/30 days. That way IF something happens and they need to make changes (shut down, close some restaurants, etc) they have the flexibility to do so.

Besides to expect the unexpected I'm not really sure what to expect anymore.
