Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Not if they treat resort reservations as a valid theme park admission. They would be in line before general public who have nothing booked.

Could be the case, but it hasn’t been stated that resort reservations = guaranteed park entrance. And you’d think they’d say that by now to give some light to the darkness

Why would you get an email if you don’t have a reservation?

Disney IT

Then they better stop sending that email to those with resort reservations only!

However, because you have valid Theme Park admission, you will have access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We’ll be contacting you soon with details on this new system.

I think they’re going to have an issue with people that have resort reservations, but haven’t bought tickets yet, or activated their AP and now get placed with the general public to race for tickets and then reservations. Chances are there wont be very many spots left when it gets to non ticket holders.

All tickets that have been purchased will count for the already purchased media. Dated tickets are basically the same us Ap's that haven't been activated as technically you can change your dated ticket any time up to 24 hours in advance of the start date. Non activated Ap's have always been able to make FP for example.

I don’t think resort reservations will, rather they may be lumped in with APs and ticket holders who have a chance to reserve spots before people who are currently holding nothing.

I don't see a huge crowd of people dying to spend thousands on WDW tickets this year once they see what they're not gonna have... or what they'll be required to do...

This !

I’m especially worried because we are counting on the AP extension they said they’d do, and now I’m wondering if they might go back on that. My AP expired May 10 - I had a trip booked for the end of March & the first 9 days of May. If all was Norma I would’ve renewed. I haven’t yet because I don’t want to pay over $1100 for an extremely limited experience.....but now I’m worried they’ll just cancel all APs who thought their passes would have the expiration date extended. Has anyone seen this happen in MDE yet? I’ve asked about it a few times since March and the CM’s didn’t know anything. :/

I’ve called last month to ask about reimbursement and extension of AP’s. I was told that only active AP’s will get the extension. If your AP is already expired, you’ll not get it, that you could only get the reimbursement for the months of closure or the expiration of your pass, whichever comes first.
CM said that they will start processing refunds only when when the parks reopen.
I am also on the fence of renewing our AP’s, not knowing what this year will bring as accessibility to the parks and how much of a vacation we could take. I think If one has a reservation for this year and wants to book priority fast passes and dining, one should renew.

They would have to definitely start with people with resort reservations at resorts that are fixing to be open. Then move on to accomodate those who are misplaced by moving them around, so on and so forth down the line. AP will already be having first crack at the soft openings. Solo ticket holders would probably be further down the line and could fill in resort rooms that are left over. Then general public is left.

I’m going to assume when the theme park reservation system comes out it will say All Guest must have a valid ticket as well as valid theme park reservations

After yesterday's big news, I am wondering if those that have reservations at a resort that is not opening right away will simply be cancelled instead of moved. I am getting a head ache.

I could've sworn I read this exact phrasing announced somewhere already but now I can't find it. I need more coffee.

I can only see that happening if there's no room to move them, otherwise no. And if that happens those people better be offered a discount for future booking or at least same price as they are booked now. Or not. who knows with Disney.

 

[hertamaniac]

I think AP folks with no reservations are getting the email because they have "valid theme park admission".

Yep...in that bucket.

 

[SmittS]

Data point - 2 resort reservations, one early July before open, one late July after open. Unactivated AP. FPs gone, ADRs still there, no email.

 

[WonderlandisReality]

Anyone want to venture to guess if they will finally allow gift cards on the mobile order app?

In that bucket as well and I’ve already received the email twice.
