Please provide some examples of Universal's awesome communication. I haven't seen any. They made the announcement, that's about it.
I got the email as well:
I have a DVC reservation in December, but I have absolutely NO tickets on my account.
There might be something to that June 22 date, for EXTREMELY limited experiences. IE, snapping pictures on Main St and spinning on Dumbo (I just picked nostalgia, low touch, easy queue).
Yep. Same with us. I hope there's enough of us that they don't forget about how they are going to address our unique situations. But not feeling too hopeful at this point in time. They have so much to deal with right now, I'm feeling we are going to get lost in the cracks.
Where does the rumor that they won’t extend expired APs originate?
Nothing with regards to Disney other than talks with MLS and NBA for sports there.
You know I hear and appreciate what you are saying but what I don’t understand why it is being looked at as such a binary choice. What I mean is they said closed tfn, and then started accepting reservations for 6/1. Now I’ve worked in operations, on a much smaller scale of course, but you set expectations, establish a recovery date and then monitor. You have a secondary date: if we get x by this date we will be on target for the restart. When you don’t get x you re-elaviate the date, communicate an adjustment to the affected parties and try to reestablish a new opening date. So on say May 1 (if not earlier) they pretty much knew 6/1 was a no go. Close sales/reservations on that date. You want to be coy and not tell people 6/1 is a no go? Ok I guess. But close the influx. Then As we get to mid-May start to cancel ADRs as you know any reopennis going to cause pretty severe capacity limits. Phase the cancellations over a few days, park at a time, resort restaurants whatever. All he while OVER COMMUNICATE to your customers so they do not feel dumped on. If I’m watching ADRs disappear due to understandable capacity limits when they cancel DDP I will probably be all onboard, who wants to pay for a plan when reservations are so limited. Tell me that would not have been better received.
You could book those hotels last week, for dates starting on June 2nd. It was only made "official" through Universal recently.
I don't think you can activate remotely. Since you'd have to be on site to activate, the clock would start on your first day in the park. Just having the vouchers linked in MDE is enough for fast passes so I don't see a reason it would be any different.
I think they go earlier. I think they will do two days at each park and want to have time to make adjustments between each day at each park and to have time to make adjustments before the opening. I think the first soft opening will be almost three weeks before the public opening.
