Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

If you are on these boards and posting regularly, or are willing to read through hundreds of replies, or respond to posts asking about cancelling...you already are the minority. Being the minority of posters on this board, those with resort reservations who are keeping their plans is about 70%.
If you look at every other you tube video comments, blog comments, Instagram/social media posts...90% are cancelling their reservations. IMO there will not be many people at the resorts for at least 3 months after opening.

And now that they have a opening date they should resume construction. They could finish the park entrance at MK and AK and EP before they open and finish the castle painting.

Doubtful. Expect all planned projects to be delayed for the foreseeable future.

Some yes but not all. They can't leave the entrances like they are. Half a castle painted? They'll finish Remy also I'm sure. I would expect the Spaceship Earth refurb to be postponed but stuff that is 3/4 finished or more? They'll finish it.

I hope you're right! I am probably in the minority considering I've read every post on this thread and I don't even have a reservation or a ticket; I'm just hoping to be able to get one.

That's how the internet works. Folks are more likely to post to complain "I cancelled because of X, Y & Z". Folks not cancelling have no reason to post.

I respectfully disagree

It’s just the way it works. Those people who are unhappy are always more vocal.

The other clue Is if Disney didn’t have more people at the resorts than they want, they wouldn’t be actively trying to get people to cancel, or they’d be offering incentives. Or heck, they might even make their recovery offer available to everyone who was cancelled. Crazy thought, huh?

Makes sense. Consolidate the resorts.

Pick two

Pop Century/All Star Movies/All Star Sports/All Star Music/AOA

Pick one of each

Beach/Yacht
Port Orleans/Riverside
Riviera/CBR
OKW/Saratoga

I think all the Monorail Resorts will open

Just my guess

I don't think they will open YC and POR because they don't want to deal with dogs...they have enough problems...

I chatted yesterday and this morning, and I received the expected answers to my questions about making park reservations under different situations (posted earlier in the thread somewhere).

Dealing with dogs?

Dealing with dogs?

They’re pet friendly. Of course Disney could just take that option away. You plan on bringing Fido, need to make sure it’s still an option!

I don't think they're actively trying to get people to cancel. I think they're just not allowing new reservations because of getting things transferred over to the new system. They know their IT isn't great. lol I"m just hoping they don't lose everyone's hotel ressies in the switchover.

I’m not talking about not allowing new reservations. I’m talking about getting those with existing reservations to self cancel so they don’t have to do it. There’s a good argument to be made that allowing reservations for months while they were closed is a problem now.

WOW - I've learned something else I didn't know about Disney. I knew they had the onsite boarding facility, but I didn't know some resorts allow pets!!

I know. I honestly don't think Disney anticpated as many people wanting to cancel as are. They thought everyone would still want to come.

ever since Hurricane Irma they added a pet friendly resort to each category

I think it's been since fall 2018. Just certain resorts.
