Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[stayathomehero]

I posted this somewhere else but it fits in this situation as well:

You know those stories about people finding the image of Elvis in their toast and then everyone takes it as a sign that he isn’t really gone?
I feel like I’m that person looking for Elvis in my toast every time something comes out in the news about Disney.
is it a sign that they’ll reopen soon?
- the most recent YouTube Olaf at Home ends with Olaf saying something about See you soon. I said in my head: omg is it a signnnnn
- Josh D gets this job before opening is announced. I say in my head: omg it's a sign
- Children's Activity CM's were hired back and no one here knew....OMG IS IT A SIGNNN

I’m losing it guys.

The return of Wonderful World of Disney coincides with the reopening of Disney Springs. Maybe an announcement will come Tonight!

That would be amazing but at this point I’ve kind of convinced myself an announcement is never coming, lol.

Makes me wonder if this is why they have been so quiet. They have been waiting on this. So either this means they don’t open to the public now for even longer or they needed to shut down reservations to figure this capacity out first.

Since you still can't book the Towers, seems like a good bet that's where they'll be if the rumor is accurate.

.....you are feeding into my craziness and I LOVE IT.

Genuine and honest question here. Are you actually planning to go if they do not cancel, or are you just waiting for them to cancel your reservation so you don't have to deal with any potential penalties if you did it on your own?

We have 6/8 reservation and while I fully expect it to be canceled...we will go if open...it is very frustrating though not knowing...this is our 3rd try.

They ave not advised for a 6/8 reservation? That is sad! I've seen others saying their reservation for late June have been cancelled by Disney so why are they holding out on a 6/8 reservation??

I have a 6/7 check in. I'll go if I can. I'm expecting to get the email tomorrow though. I have a backup in July.

I would be so peeved if they are open and my stay at Gran Destino was moved because of this. Hopefully it's before resort guests can stay.
If moved, I hope those guests are moved to a deluxe.

No, only officially canceled through 6/6...there were some random reports of late June's June's getting canceled, but I think it was determined those were all part of larger convention/travel packages etc., not a regular Disney reservation, although if I'm being honest all signs point to parks not being open at all in June, but I hope I'm wrong.

On another note, isn't today the meeting VP Pence is having with DeSantis and the Orlando theme park execs?

Normally they do offer an upgrade if you get moved. I'd be a little happy if I had the Towers booked right now.

Do you really think Disney is just sitting around doing nothing?

I think it's to the point of getting a bit frustrating though. Lot of people are sitting with reservations unsure of what to do. And there is really nothing but silence. And they keep taking reservations for dates they know they won't be open. If they know there isn't any chance of them being open before July...say so. Let people change their plans, get on with life.

Wasn't sure if they'd do moderate to moderate.

I wouldn't be happy only because we booked GDT specifically to try it out. We stay Yacht or Beach, but this looks even nicer inside and I want to experience it!

We go April/May 2021 (hopefully).

 

[cakebaker]

And they keep taking reservations for dates they know they won't be open.

And you keep saying that even though there is no evidence that they know when taking the reservations they won't be open. The best thing to do, if you aren't comfortable with no knowing, is to not book.

If they didn't offer it, I'd be surprised. We've had it happen to us a couple of times- overbooked or whatever the problem was and it always resulted in a nice upgrade. This is a different time, but I'd still be very surprised if they didn't. I'd sure ask if they didn't offer it outright.

Only people cancelled for late June are wrapped up in groups or TA groups.

Towers? Just GD, right?

GDT would be particularly tricky because no mod comes close to that experience so shoving those people off to like CBR would be quite the downgrade.
