A new resort reservation

I read that in the phone recording voice and scared myself a little.

So ..... whats the 'rumor' of attractions that are reopening vs attractions that will remain closed? I know HoP and CoP have been mentioned. Any other information that has been leaked at all yet?

 

[yulilin3]

Can we start a new speculation? For those who confirmed their stays through the July 4 email that went out yesterday does anyone think those people will be upgraded to next tier rooms at all? Or what you booked is what you get?

I have a garden room at CR with a 50% CM discount for July 1st. I will keep you posted

what you see on MDE is what is on the schedule on the HUB, not saying this is it, it can change, but I'm sure someone will pop in with rumors momentarily

I don't think that they'll be full for quite a while, contrary to other opinions on here.

I think you’re right. I just checked DVC availability from July 13-25 and most resorts are open for that entire period in almost all room types. Seems like you could get any room type for the full period at SSR, OKW, BLT. All others have most room types available with studios being the hardest to come by for the full two weeks.

AKV Jambo is waitlist for everything.

The bars are open at least!

Honestly I won't even be bothered if I can't resort hop from the Riviera on July 4. I'm excited to try their restaurants there, and I've never been to Riviera. Very much looking forward to it

But I only have a one night stay. I hope others who have longer stays booked before July 5 will get to resort hop for dining.

Thanks for posting. As many speculated, there seem to be very few table serve restaurants. Sanaa was the standout for me that will open. Dining is a big part of a WDW vacation for me so this list would be a dealbreaker. I didn't see any signature dining?

I was inexplicably excited over Toppolino's having a modified character meal- seems to be the only resort doing that. We have a 2 night stay we're thinking about doing if the AP previews work in our favor. Staying at the Riviera was the initial reason for our scheduling our trip in March and June/July and not getting to stay there was the most disappointing part about being cancelled. So hopefully it works out, fully prepared for it not to.

Yeah, there's no way on earth we would go during this time, even if parks open - no guarantee to get in, shortened hours I'm sure. No go.

I'm thinking people who do go, these will be shorter trips. I can't imagine booking a 7 day or longer stay with no guarantees of going to a park, no feature pools, not many restaurants. How would you fill your days? Disney Springs?

I had already posted a few pages back. My friend was upgraded to a one bedroom villa at Saratoga springs for her trip arriving on 7/4

Topolino’s is signature (at dinner, at least)

Do you know what they had before?

We had a 19-day trip booked for DD middle school graduation - July 14 - we hear so many ppl speak of the rides and attractions at disney - we like them as well, but the joy for us has always been the restaurants - especially Epcot and trying new cultures - and the dessert parties - think we made the right decision cancelling - JMHO
YMMV

Ouch, so no counter service for AKL - Kidani and no real table service for BCV (sorry, Beaches and Cream doesn't really count). Hopefully they let BCV eat at the Tratorria on the BW side. Not having a counter service option for AKL is going to be painful for some folks if they get moved there. Hopefully the animals will counter that a bit (for viewing, not dining )

Yep, this was exactly my thought. Without all those things closed and the presumably restricted access to attractions, there seems as if there would be a lot of down time. Because of the way WDW is spread out and the difficulty to park hop and ride tons of attractions, we spend a lot of time each day enjoying the restaurants.

I've been concerned about the reservation process for the parks due to the fact that we have the 4 day magic ticket - the one that allows 1 day at each of the parks, scheduled for September. My concern is - if we do go and capacity is still reduced, what if on our 4 day trip we get shut out of one of the parks due to capacity - would we lose a ticket day? I called today because one of our tickets still wasn't showing extended so I asked. The response I was given was that these tickets will be looked into. Has anyone heard anything else? I know we have time compared to those going soon but I also am trying to decide if we are still going to go or postpone.

Saw this in a Facebook group and I am not sure if it was addressed yet:

Good morning! For any of my fellow NYC Tri-State area residents, there has been an update for traveling from NY, NJ or CT. The 14 day quarantine for people traveling from those states to FL is still in effect. But the language has changed from expiring July 7 to having no set expiration date. Also, Disney has addressed this by explicitly stating that anyone under a quarantine order is not to enter WDW property. I’m keeping on top of this, and will let you know if I see any changes.
