Wow, thank you for sharing this. No park hopping for this APH then... and I have to buy more tickets. I wonder how that will work for a 17 day stay.

Nonsense.

We can’t just return to normal even if we accept the virus as here to stay and the deaths that come with it. Often lost in the conversation about the economy, jobs, and people’s ability to earn an income by the general public is what happens when an outbreak occurs in a workplace. We have already seen shut downs occur in places because of this and that can have far reaching effects on supply chains.

It would be an absolute mess for Disney should large numbers of their CMs get sick at nearly the same time and require time off for weeks. Think of what a mess it would cause if pockets of CMs all over property had mini outbreaks within their own areas. Smart corporations will open slowly, cautiously, and not just throw their hands in the air and give up because this virus is not going to disappear.

" Annual Passholder tickets will not be honored for admission; however Annual Passholders will be entitled to purchase admission tickets at a discounted rate on a one for one basis. "

Is this site legit?

If this is correct, I am really torqued. This would likely lead to many, local AP's to call it a day/week/year/decade.

-Someone talks to a CM on the phone or their “high ranking Disney exec” friend/family member

“A poster talked to a CM on the phone, I think his name was Sven, and he said that the parks were opening in July, I believe him”

-An unknown site posts about ticketing procedures

“Nonsense”

Nonsense.

I’ve never heard of this site before. I wouldn’t take it too seriously. In fact, I wouldn’t pay attention to it at all.

ADRs are difficult to do when you don’t know how many people will be allowed in the parks. In this case, ADRs would be used as a “guarantee” entry into the parks because you have dinner reservations, and they just aren’t able to give out those types of promises at the moment.

Dine in restaurants are still a bit off for most of California so that could be some of it.

I don’t know if it is legit or not. It was posted on WDW Magic.

But they stopped it for WDW too, and people freaked out and made assumptions that it meant they weren’t opening.

This post by wdw Intel was made yesterday, and none of the major Disney blogs picked it up which makes me raise an eyebrow right away. If there was vilidty in the claims, other Disney news sources would be sharing this very big news. The first paragraph says "expected." I think they went with a wild "insider source" and ran with it.

Disneyland now shows no ADR availability for July! DL looks to open later, but wonder if WDW will follow suit like they have been doing thus far?!?

Well, LA County announced today that they expect to be in a stay at home order until at least the end of July. I would think the two events are probably related. I don't think WDW is in a similar situation with local governments so I wouldn't expect them to follow suit.

I actually kind of like that AP idea if it ends up being true or even slightly true. Hear me out.

Those who really want to go can still do it. It helps with the question of when the clock starts back up and the freeze period ends if the parks are open but not really “I paid hundreds or even over a thousand per person for this” open.

I’ve also never heard of that site, so taking it with about 400 grains of salt.

You mean someone on a forum posted the link or as a legitimate news article on the front page?

I don’t think theyd treat AP’s that way unless they gave them major incentives. So I don’t think it’s legit at all

What in the world is this?

DL isn’t in LA County. But if people aren’t able to leave their homes in LA county to go out to Disney in Orange County to have dinner, then maybe it would be related. But stay at home orders are tough to enforce county to county. Can’t avoid someone from one county going to another to shop

I am an AP holder and I have a resort reservation. If they expect me to buy tickets, then I'll just cancel my trip. I have no issue with reserving parks for each day, but why wouldn't they allow AP holders staying at a WDW resort to simply make reservations in a park with their AP? I'll be very upset if this is how they move forward.

They certainly don’t have much a following if we haven’t heard of them. But gosh did they get some hits today, saw this article pop up on another Disney forum and people were like “who the heck is this person?”

Couldn’t agree more. Would be absolutely ridiculous.

Right. We already bought our "Advanced Paid Tickets"- when we bought our APs.

Does Shanhai have AP holders? Did Disney stiff them?
