Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Krandor]

The July 11th reopening of non DVC resorts has been retracted. No current reopening date for other resorts.

Sorry if this was already mentioned, I haven't been keeping up with this extremely fast moving thread.

I don't think we are going to get any additional details until desantis approves the propossal.

That info was there yesterday. And now it's been deleted.

Interesting...

The non dvc resort thing is suspicious, when I was playing around with modification dates this morning the earliest I could find availability for non dvc resorts was August 3rd.

It didn't last long. Thing it was pushed out too soon (or before finilized)

I can't find any mention of it today either...

I’m thinking may be just the “ lead” on ressies might getting the extensions first .

Doesn't appear to be the case. I'm the "lead" traveler on the package, and I'm the one who still has the original expiration date. Seems almost random at this point.

I got a better one for you guys, my DH’s is the only one whose ticket got an extension. The rest of us don’t, we all have same tickets, same resort, same everything.

When I looked about 45 minutes ago, 2 of the 4 of us had extensions (through some date in September 2021), the other 2 did not (like you, same tickets, etc.).

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the CDC reversed their opinion on the virus transmitting on surfaces. I saw it on the news last night and was a bit upset. I’m back to wiping down my groceries. It was a positive development when it came out for the theme parks in regards to guests touching everything.

I’m almost out of wipes so we’ll just have to make do and hope we don’t catch it from groceries.

It’s not on their website yet. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/s0522-cdc-updates-covid-transmission.html

I have 6 park hoppers and 3 were extended to September 2021 and 3 are the same.

If they are giving extensions for tickets purchased through Costco travel, I hope they will consider giving automatic extensions for military tickets. That would work for four of us, but I really need a refund on the fifth. It’s hard to be patient for things to try to settle down and work out before reaching out but I know I’m going to have to at this point.

Twitter chatter says it's official. Disney has said the re-opening date of 7/11 for Disney Resorts was a mistake and there are no dates announced for reopening other hotels at this time.

Soft opening prior to 7/11?

Edit: this might jive with why DVC resorts are expected to be opened earlier than 7/11.

Yes. Military ticket extensions would be amazing.

If it makes you feel any better, all respiratory viruses are mainly spread via droplets in the air. If someone with COVID coughs on something, and then you touch it, and then you put your hand in your mouth, you may get ill. However, the amount of viral load you will ingest from such a transmission isn’t thought to be very high and may not be enough to infect you. This isn’t the main way to transmit any respiratory virus. The more prevalent form of transmission is when someone next to you coughs, and you inhale/ingest their germs via the droplets in the air they just expelled.

Agree. I don't think they've made a final decision on AP extension and I think extending it though limited capacity is very likely.

Thanks! That’s a good point. My renewal’s coming up this weekend, and I was hoping to put off paying if the extensions were processed. It would be even better if they extend it through the limited capacity though!!!

We have 4 park hopper tickets that we were going to use for our June 2020 trip... 2 expiration dates have been extended to Sept 2021 (1 adult ticket, 1 under 10 ticket), 2 remain with the June 2020 date (1 adult ticket, 1 under 10 ticket)
