Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[DGsAtBLT]

Were you successful? What documentation did you use to show the resort was closed when we don't get a cancellation email?

We are waiting and have a preliminary credit.

We provided our back and forth communication with David’s as well as Disney’s resort closure announcement from March.

I noticed today that The Dibb’s availability calendar shows FPs are unavailable for both ROL and Fantasmic after 7/28. Wonder if that is a clue re: re-opening. Sorry if this has been discussed already.

Can you stop with the mask discussion? It’s been beaten to death and it will just get this thread locked.

I have covered this a few times now from my Armchair of Infinite Wisdom, but I don't mind repeating myself

YOU WILL NEVER STOP THE GREAT MASK DEBATE
​

Another way of saying that in case that doesn't make sense is

THE GREAT MASK DEBATE WILL LIVE ON LONGER THAN ZOMBIES AFTER THE EARTH FALLS TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE​

I think they are reluctant in modifying their rates. Reopening resorts without Magical Express and on site "free" transportation will not fly with most guests that expect these services

Most definitely would cancel if no transportation. Not interested in renting a car because we enjoy wine/cocktails most days.

7/28? or 6/28?

Not debating it, personally don't care, either way, just highlighting a very significant part of the news that was posted by the mod. Much more on the topic then people discussing using vouchers on their next trip with a third-party travel agencies etc.

7/28.

I would think they’d allow you to either take 10% (or whatever the amount is) off your stay or cancel. A lot of businesses are doing this now. They’re processing some ungodly amount of refunds every day, so what’s one more thing?

How are you going to get people to MK?

Very good question. Maybe only have limited transportation to/from MK???

They'd have to remove those daily resort parking fees if they did that IMO.

It could be done...


I’m just trying to give them ideas to reopen.

7/28.

Wouldnt that make sense? It is after 60 days

Unless it's for a lot of FP, not just those two, I wouldn't put much weight on that.

I keep wondering why they can’t just say something like, “Resorts and parks reopen on June 15th. At this time, we will not have Disney transportation. We hope to resume normal Disney transportation options in the near future in a safe and efficient manner for both guests and cast memberS.” It would stink, but they could do it. There are PLENTY of people who would go to Disney and rent a car. Just my thoughts.

I totally agree about the potential bus problem, and have been saying that's Disney's biggest obstacle right now but wow- that would be rough -I, for one, can't stand driving on vacation - and isn't the bus transportation one of the perks for staying on property ? So, for those booked already , would their hotel cost be decreased?

 

[DGsAtBLT]

Personally I think they will either open with all resorts (unless certain ones remain indefinitely closed due to lack of demand), or no resorts. I think the in between options like MK only, no transport, etc. complicate things more.

Just a guess, to be clear.

 

[Sandiz08]

Whoa, check out Legoland, suddenly that seems tempting with a 7 year old DS.

The Dibb tracks FPs to 90 days. Club level guests can book FPs at 90 day mark. Other rides are available.

I
Aw, that's the best one seating-wise ! Just get rid of the nasty germ screen !!

 

[LSUmiss]

whoa whoa whoa wait crazy thought
what if the parks open before the resorts......

Hmm would that include swan/dolphin? They’re still taking June reservations. But I would be very angry if Disney canceled my FPs & ADRs instead of just my resort room if they still planned to open.

 

[jenjersnap]

Unless it's for a lot of FP, not just those two, I wouldn't put much weight on that.

It is significant to me because they are shows and they know they are unlikely to happen. Why 7/28? Feel free to not put any weight in it, just pointing out an anomaly.

Agree - not a drinker, but won't rent a car - it's more fun when the entire bus is singing "Sweet Caroline" !

But Club Level services have been MIA since lockdown. They have no way to track that currently. Unless they have secret access somehow?
