Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[xuxa777]

Disney is cancelling VIP tours through the end of 2020.

That is a big chunk of money lost. But also easy to bring back when they determine they can.

A bright spot for me View attachment 497880

I dread the day those come up to reserve, the boards will be flooded with horror stories. Always happens with AP previews. That’s going to be a hot ticket for locals I would guess, plus all the competition from DVC guests already onsite.

I'm hoping this includes all Passholders not just ones who aren't blocked out for the soft opening

So character dining (and it appears like Shanghai's updated version too) is now officially added to canceled experiences

Does this mean the 35% is on the current reservation? Previous communications suggested it would be in the future.

According to the news just released on DTA, the 35% is for the current reservation.

Craig said today the reservations for Universal’s preview next week was a nightmare. I can only imagine what it’ll be for Disney.

Lots of recent posts about wet masks got me to thinking what will happen when the torrential summer downpours start?
I got a chuckle picturing CM's closing the doors to their shops as people were rushing towards them.
"Let us in!"
"No, you'll exceed our occupancy limit"

I'm thinking the annual pass refund is looking better and better each day.

I asked him yesterday if he was Bob......no response.......

We have certainly drawn conclusions around here based on less...

My mind was just wandering. Under normal circumstances, the people on these boards, and other similar fan groups, are uber Disney fans. Planners. Researchers.

But MANY that go to Disney are not. I'm sure we've all heard stories about the family that booked their once in a lifetime trip and just SHOWED UP and had no idea about magic bands or ADRs or fastpasses (regardless of the fact that Disney emailed them all this info)

I now wonder how many of those people that have a reservation for after opening will still just SHOW UP and have no clue they were expected to have a daily park reservation, and their experiences will be limited. Will they even see the news of no fireworks, limited park hours, closed resorts, etc.

I mean, my social media feed is filled with all this info. But for the non-planner, non-uber fans, who don't belong to these groups or stalk their email.... yikes!

I mean... you would be crazy to vacation in a Pandemic without looking for GENERAL Updates.... if they dont see them honestly I think a fair share is on them. Its a giant Pandemic, they should want to see how their vacation might change

there will be no character dining when they open?

Funny, and I chuckle, but this is also a real possibility. If a store like The Emporium is at max capacity when the afternoon downpour hits, there will be no relief. If we thought the parks cleared out during the afternoon showers before, they REALLY will now!

not just the rainstorms, normal sweat. Masks are all going to be wet within 30 minutes of putting them on!

So... I wanna start a debate. Who do you think gets priority (specifically for park access) Regular on Property Resort Guests or DVC or AP in what order?

Just between these 3

Any on property with tickets

I just got the email indicating they will remove dining from my package, give me 35% off and I will receive a new invoice indicating what I owe/will be refunded.

Dang it Disney! I had decided to go with Universal (buy 2 days, get 2 free) and then you do this to me...

edit: had free dining recovery July 18-26. I had upgraded to regular dining. Staying at POP.

Anyone know how to sign up to receive AP emails?

I haven’t gotten any of the AP ones from Disney, and no cancellation emails either. But I can see in the app things are dropping one by one.

I think it will be anyone with a hotel reservation (dvc or cash) with any sort of ticket media. Then any AP.
