We already had a freak out over this one, we got it from WDWmagic via @CastAStone

Is it fair to say if we were refreshing a certain annoying website to see news, said website could be uploading it on the hour in about 5 minutes?

We're all going to break DPB tonight. They haven't gotten this much traffic since the Illuminations farewell.

How was it their choice? They got cancelled. I think it stinks too, but it really stinks that those who just booked a different date don’t get the really great 35% off that others who booked later do. That discount rivals the best AP discounts. I’d be really irked if I was in that boat.

Sorry, I misread your initial post! I thought you were talking about people who had rebooked to other dates and then cancelled on their own. Apologies.

Part of it

Only part???..

 

[CastAStone]

Clarity maybe? It’s not something unexpected I don’t think

Is it this? Because people here did NOT enjoy the news.

Anyone else refreshing the DPB like it is some kind of black Friday special?

I really thought it was going to pop up on the hour.

More news should come in the coming days.

Would Disney announce big news like this after 9pm est? what time do phone lines close?

So are you saying this whole post will be made in separate announcements possibly? Could be a very shrewd move on Disney's part.

I don't think it is that others are more prepared but disney is a larger place with more moving Parts then either of those. The majority of questions people have wouldn't apply to either of those. As an example, six flags says we are doing reservations based on membership level. Done. With disney you get questions like "what if I have an AP and have booked a resort but haven't bought tickets. Do I get a reservation?" Or "is a reservation good for one park or can I hop" or "what if I have reservation at one park and ADR at another" or "What if I had a FP that is now outside of new park hours" or simply "what is resort transportation (or transportation from TTC to MK) going to look like" etc etc.

Disney is more complicated due to FPs, multiple resorts, DVC, ADRs and all of that which six flags or universal don't have to deal with.

I think this is absolutely true and it seems like the chickens are coming home to roost. Disney never needed to become so complicated in the first place.

I will appreciate when they can tell us who gets to come who doesn’t. Because we all can’t go. Hopefully that’s sooner than later.

DAYS?

Ugh. Where's Sven when you need him.

I really hope this discount applies to next summer.. I've already moved on and booked at the Bellagio for 25% price of my Pop room.
