Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

One thing is new....a hotel reservation does not guarantee you are getting in the park.

Does that mean the other DVC resort feature pools will be opened? What about splash pads?

When are they going to tell us if any non-DVC/FW resorts are reopening July 11th?

It specifically says a hotel reservation does not guarantee it. My sources last week said that if someone doesn’t get park days to match tickets, some level of refund will be provided,

So, IMO, I would not assume you will have an easy time, especially if July and August are your travel dates...which are mine, but I am DVc so we will go regardless of how many days we get.

I would interpret it to mean, yes, there's some priority, but if you either don't use your priority window or make a late reservation in a resort, don't think you'll be able to march up to the gates and there will be a special guaranteed entrance for resort guests.

The question is can I resort hop without a dining reservation?

“A Disney Resort hotel reservation does not guarantee theme park access."

On the bright side..so far , not saying you won't have a chance to get in a park..

It now mentions feature pools...but honestly, I don’t think that means at the start...but when the WDW resort section opens. I think we will have to wait until June 22nd to know for sure

ETA, It looks like they may be...doesn’t mention splash pads

I wonder if SAB was mentioned specifically because the others will be open.

It says they WILL be open. Says Yacht and Beach club guests can enjoy the BCV leisure pool. So can't even go over to Boardwalk to swim there.

I'm actually furious about this (even though we did have a little warning) They can find staffing to open all the other feature pools but NOT the one that people explicitly stay at the Beach Club for?!

I need to know what chance it has of opening by September to know if we should try to switch.

This specifically says the following will be available when the resort opens. Pools is listed there for Boardwalk and others.

Honestly, I am going to take it for what it says and not count on it until I have them.

Wonder if this means this will be the only restaurant doing this?

Didn’t most already think this was going to be the case if you didn’t already have tickets linked with the reservation before the announced the reopening.

Right now sounds like yes.

If it is, count this one as IMPOSSIBLE to get...like a winning lottery ticket

Of all the feature pools, SAB requires the greatest number of lifeguards, so this isn't surprising.

The things I liked was that leisure pools will be open 24 hours again - yay!

I hope they open these park reservations well in advance of opening so ppl can know if they want to cancel hotel days.

Also interesting they say guests “may” be subject to additional screenings. Says nothing about temperature checks that I could see?

 

[MickeyEars]

I hope they open them well in advance to see if they work!!
