We get it already.
Aww man, that is really sad! I feel for your mom's friend.
Twins! I expire May 10th & am booked for June 12th lol. It's nerve wracking because I'm still not sure if I should take the refund or the extension since we don't have the opening date.
As someone working on a reopening plan for a business that serves the public, this sounds exactly right to me!Saw this elsewhere. I think it pretty much sums up the last 400 or so pages, and probably should also cover the next 400...

I'm not sure what the refund will be and we have a 10 day trip planned with 9 park days for June or September. I can't imagine the refund on our 4 AP's will even come close to a 9 day park hopper price and we adore the included Memory Maker, free parking, bought a Tables in Wonderland card, AP store discounts, etc. All these things were factored in when we purchased our AP's and planned 2 9/10 day trips May 2019 and May 2020. Now we paid thousands of dollars for these AP's and we have gotten 1 trip out of them with our 2 DS's (we did hop down for a 4 day trip just DH and myself in January)
Joined you & turned your solo into a duet!
well..they just canceled everyone through May 31...so.
They shouldn't be accepting reservations starting June 1 if they have no plan of opening that day. They know by now if they are or aren't.
I think they definitely have a target date. I think it's June 1. But who knows- that's nearly a month away and a lot could happen to prevent that from happening. Having a plan to open isn't opening. They gave SDL 6 days notice....6 days.
But Shanghai had cast in the park working on reopening prep for a few weeks before they announced the opening date. They released a video yesterday showing some of the prep. We also know they have been testing reopening procedures with some cast for at least 2 weeks. So the public only had 6 day notice but the date was likely known internally before that. I think that if we don’t see any uptick in cast being on property in the next 10-14 days then June 1 seems very unlikely.
My family and I returned from Disney March 11 and within a week all 5 of us were very sick with similar symptoms to Covid - we could not get tested. We had all already had the flu before Christmas and tested negative for it. I too think this has been around for much longer than folks realize and that many many more folks have already had it.
See I am generally pretty understanding about the vagueness of all of this-there is no playbook for this unbelievable scenario and I don’t expect a big entity like Disney to care all that much about my individual needs. They have enough to deal with. BUT to have an employee giving out unsanctioned, unreliable, unknowable and probably flat out wrong speculation as take it to the bank fact is beyond irresponsible. Before the shut down we waited to the last day our final payment was due. We called and the CM said it was business as usual as far as they knew. So we paid. Couple of days later they shut down. We weren’t upset with the CM. They promised us nothing. We knew the risk and took our shot. But this as you describe...personally I would record my further interactions and raise hell with a supervisor if I was misled like this. It’s one thing to try and keep things afloat, it’s quite another to outright lie to your customers. I would really hope they would offer something to this woman to make things right
I think if we don’t see movement by this next weekend when schedules come out, June 1 would seem highly unlikely. They still have time, but not a lot. I’m just saying I don’t think they’ve made the decision NOT to open. Anyone who books while they haven’t announced an opening date should be aware they may cancel those reservations with very little notice. Anyone who can’t live with that shouldn’t book or keep their reservations. I’m willing to risk it.
