I just got an email from KTP saying WDW took out the part about resorts opening on front page of MDE

From the website.. top is yesterday.. bottom is today’s update.

What kind of tickets? I can't even see mine on the website right now. On the app they still show through 12/15/2020.

8 day park hoppers

All my plans are gone for our Sept trip

I just checked mine (9/12-9/19) and so far, all my adrs are still intact

But, I would want the opposite way. To me and my family, dining is most important and we usually plan our days around our dinners. And some days we do a different park in the morning with FPs. So if Disney just unilaterally barred us from our dinner dining parks because we had morning FPs to a different park, we would be upset.

So that’s why I’m thinking the easiest thing will be to wipe the slate clean of all pre reserved things and start fresh.

Plus, what if there aren’t going to be Fastpasses once the park reopens? Then it wouldn’t matter if you had them reserved for a day.

And I’m not just picking on you, I know I keep responding to your posts. Just being devils advocate here for the idea.

I hear you - some of my dining plans are pretty important to me to - I'm thinking in terms of what I think is more likely rather than what I would actually want.

Ultimately, there's really no way to know until we get details on the reservation system. I'm just hopeful that if you have any sort of plans at a park, whether it's FP or dining, that you get first dibs at park reservations and don't get shut out. I don't think wiping the slate clean would be easier (unless they do actually do away with FPs), because they would have a TON of angry phone calls if people who had their perfect FPs set up and had to start over and miss out on them.



And since we're kinda tracking it, all my plans July 18-24 are still showing up. Though some of them are lies now (like the ones that say character dining - boo. And the Epcot fireworks cruise we'd booked.)

Everything is gone, resort, tickets ADR's.

And now it is back

I can see everything in the app and nothing at all on the website.

Aaand 5 minutes later it's all back.

Wierd. I'm on my app and all dining and tickets are still there (so far)

I ordered from Vivian and Vincent.

Have you received your order yet? Which one did you get? Is it relatively cool and comfortable? I really don't have a clue what kind of face covering would be coolest/most comfortable and don't want to have to order a bunch of different ones to try them. I wear a paper mask to the grocery store but I'm kind of stressing about what kind to get for longer periods of time, and especially outside.

I don't know anything about germ/virus transmission but is a damp face covering a mad idea-- for the wearer? I don't know if it would make it more likely that anything that gets on the outside of the mask might get through, but a dampened cloth mask might be cooler, even a gaiter style covering with just the neck part dampened might help.

ETA: Thanks for the heads up about Vivian and Vincent! They've got some really cute stuff at good prices aside from face coverings!

8 day park hoppers

My park hoppers are still showing the 12/15/2020 date, but they're originally dated for March. I would love it if they were also extended until next year.

Another update: their tickets for 2nd week of July were also extended to 9/2021.

Hello fellow Baystater. I am from Mass also and yes I have to say for the most part, most people are following the mandatory mask thing very well. Our problem is we only booked the room months ago, did not get the tickets right away so hopefully at some point they will let us add tickets to our room...

I’m in CT following the mandatory mask regulations, and I have never been asked to wear a mask outside when you can social distance. Everyone around here is beginning to get back to their normal routines. Inside super markets, Home Depot, CVS the vast majority are following guidelines.
I hope you can add tickets to your room reservation.

I just checked my Fastpasses for our July 25-Aug 2 trip and they are all still showing. Even the ones that are outside of the new park hours. They were good Fastpasses too. I'm sad I did all that work for nothing now that most of them won't work with the new hours.

Disney changes their hours often. Maybe they will be extended at night by July 25th

My FP are back. I hate the idea of wiping the slate clean. I worked hard to get the ADRs and FP I want and the idea that someone who is just now booking could get into the park I want because the slate is wiped clean would upset me. Probably upset me enough that I would cancel. The only reason I'm hanging in is because we have free dining and have everything we want reserved. If I have to start over.... I would not be happy.

Just checked and my fast passes for July 11-16 are back in MDE

Me too!

I bought these. Very cool and light. I don’t know about dampened ones. Order came very fast.

Not the board in general, but I personally tend not to spend all that much time (if any) in threads that don’t really have anything to do with my situation.

Oh, please. Quit assuming things. Even though I’m not going, I’m currently helping a family member and 2 friends reschedule their trips from spring break. Should I put that in my signature so I’m allowed to share an opinion here? Good grief. It shouldn’t matter.

It’s just annoying to see ppl come here to tell ppl they shouldn’t be upset when you have no dog in the fight.

I know things are very fluid, but the park hours page indicates that water parks will start opening starting July 11th.

I believe wet or dampened surgical masks should not be used as they can actually become a better reservoir for the virus.

That actually brings up my biggest concern with the masks. I'm more afraid of the masks being contaminated and giving me Covid than any other issue. I'm good about not putting my hands anywhere near my face. However, if the mask is laid down while eating on a surface (or especially by my kids) and then put over my mouth and nose, that's a big concern.

We've got reservations for late July. I think what we're going to do is bring big ziplock bags for everyone and have each of us take the mask off with clean hands and immediately put it into our own bags every time we start to eat. Hopefully that will be a safe place to store it without contaminating it or vice versa contaminating a surface. I was hoping to use the neck gaiters that would be easier to just pull down but not take off while eating, but sounds like initially, those won't be allowed.
