Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[cakebaker]

I don't think Disney cares about the bubble this year - they care about lowest cost that brings the most revenue...in that order, not the other way around...

Stunningly accurate. It has little to do with safety and all about money. That’s just the truth, no getting around it.

I can't give details. I'd be completely out of line and could cause an issue for a couple of people. All I can share as it pertains to aps is the options being discussed would all be fair. They just have to decide which plan works best

I'll shamelessly beg... Whomever you know that is giving you this info, if you could pass along to them not to forget about us folks with non-activated APs and the implications this all has on us, too, I'd be eternally grateful

This reminds me of the early days when you had to run to the phones at the entrance at the front and make your reservations for WS restaurants!

That’s one reason I’ve always loved France’s bakery (even in its original, squished version). Yummy food and no need for a reservation.

I’ll be pretty ticked if they don’t open resorts. Considering it would help even more with controlling capacity. Just open to resort guests.... the answer is right there in front of you.....

I mean I guess it could be all hotels next.

Could very well be tied with the NBA also all resorts being canceled

People did want them to stop the rolling cancellations. Careful what you wish for.

I have a DVC rental that I can't reschedule without losing all my money, so we are stuck for September. I guess at this point I just hope that no one else wants to come anymore, so we can have the place to ourselves?

If it makes you feel any better, I really think September is going to be this desolate this year. It may very well be the least crowded September in at least 10 years. With the DDP/ Free Dining news, September in particular just got a whole lot less crowded.

IDK, my 2019 was a spectacular flop. I'm just pretending 2020 hasn't started.

I was gonna say, 2019 was HORRID for us. Lead to us canceling our May 2020 trip before Covid was even an issue.

2020 has been a breeze in comparison...so far...

okay now seriously, what?

No more Disney Its unfortunate to think that the people in charge of these decisions have no regard for the people that kept the company afloat back during the 2009 recession. I am so sad thinking about the direction of the Disney parks...

 

[cakebaker]

All I can say is whenever we end up back at Disney, that is going to be an amazing trip. I’m tearing up thinking about it somebody stop me

When you you wish upon a Star........Stop blubbering! It’s just a vacation!

It’s a pandemic man. It’s not like they’re making these changes because they wanted to.

Im thinking resorts are next or non dvc doesn't open until August. Maybe everyone that has a current resort reservation gets wiped and gets a slot in a lottery for the resorts that will be open to make it fair.

I think some, not all, resorts will open up in July.

The governor hasn't approved Disney's proposal yet, which is counter to what he did for Universal (next to immediate). I'm beginning to wonder if he should even approve Disney on this one. There's enough gotchas here I think it's poor form (for Disney), and they should go back to the drawing board.

 

[Matthew Shannon]

Thanks to those the responded. Worked all day, sat down to check the forums. Then was floored. Being in Massachusetts still inclined to go 8/30-9/4, just floored at the changes. I pray the pools will be open.

Masses: A DISNEY TRIP IS TOO MUCH PLANNING AND TOO MUCH WORK!!

Disney: Hmm ok. *Removes FP, ADRs, and possibly hotel reservations* There! Is that better?

Masses: OH MY GOD!! Not like that!!!

He will approve it.

He doesn’t have a legitimate reason not to approve it.

We have one in July! Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Debating just saying screw the money and not go.

Oh they definitely didn’t want to. They don’t want to be open at all. Darn that DVC and their contracts and super darn Universal for actually opening.

They could’ve happily stayed closed for months and just drag in the cash off the NBA. Now they have to deal with pesky guests wanting something even resembling what they paid for. Ungrateful they are!

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.

It's not like he can make them open sooner, and their plan is more cautious than Universal's - there's really no reason it wouldn't be approved.
