Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[hereforthechurros]

Also if this is the case, that’s more deception. They’re still allowing agency exclusive TAs to book regular hotel rooms. So you’re allowing ppl to book rooms, you have no intention of honoring.

I have to think the agency exclusive was negotiated before this started and WDW may not have a choice? But I really don’t know what to think anymore. At this point they’ve have people’s vacation plans tied up for months and need to just say here’s the plan, so we can all deal with it.

I have updated the "news only" thread and added a comprehensive list of dining that is open or will soon be open at WDW. If I am missing anything please let me know.

Thanks - my 60 day window opens tomorrow (staying at FW). I do wish the park restaurants were available for reservations though.

DVC is a timeshare. Members have "ownership" so they run into a lot of problems the longer they keep those properties closed.

I am anxiously awaiting news on Jambo where I have a two week reservation in December. I assume it would need to open by then, as there is no availability at any other DVC resort for my stay.

"Just as we’ve started making plans for our theme parks, we are also making plans for our hotels and Disney Vacation Club resorts. With that in mind, we wanted to share what you can expect when you book a stay at a Disney Resort hotel.*"

*Owned-and-operated Disney resorts.

Interesting wording here though, considering our discussion earlier.

I agree. I don't see them going forward with opening the parks and not having the resorts open. They want people to spend money in the bubble only. And the park capacity will start to increase over time, so there would conceivably be more hotel demand.

Oh lord, pleeeeease let them give us news today!

THIS I would love to attend
too bad it'll be closed to fans. Weather will be a huge factor in these games

Has anyone from upstate NY (Buffalo) flown into MCO over the past couple weeks? Were you made to quarantine? I’m hearing rumors that they aren’t even enforcing the quarantine order. We aren’t part of the “Tri-State” area anyways.

When are you visiting? I would expect that to be cancelled in July if I had to guess. Probably before or around when parks open. It doesn't matter what airport it's flights from those states are being randomly "greeted" .

They are meeting randomly with flights from NY, NJ and CT and would make you fill out paperwork indicating where you are doing the 14 day quarantine. Technically it's a 60 day jail sentence for not following and its NY, NJ or CT they don't care about regions within the states . If you want to be safer connect thru phl or dc or clt and you will be fine unless you get pulled over for speeding or something random. (Not encouraging law breaking).

I'm thinking Friday is the earliest we will get anything big. I don't want to wait that long, but that's my guess.

Here is my take, I think they only let people book DVC and Ft. Wilderness because it would be implying they expect the resort to be open by that date...which they either do not know yet or don’t want it out there.

Opening DVC has required them to open certain parts of the hotel side...other than Jambo...it makes no sense not to open up the deluxe rooms at those places

Wilderness Lodge had to open because CCV is its own condo association and not part of BRV...which leaves the bulk of that empty.

Now, I do think that the values and moderates will open later than the deluxe...how much later? Who knows but I’d be surprised if we don’t at least hear something by end of week or beginning of next week about the next round of hotels that will open.

I don’t think they can start the park reservation system without that being shared as well.

The real news will drop on Facebook after midnight by a random TA no one here has heard of, be confirmed by absolutely no one and deleted within the hour

And if you do that and our numbers go up, what then. Another shutdown for us in Fl? More dates added to extend the order?
You are telling folks how to go around the order.

I just called in to try to add magic express to my reservation.

I was told by the cast member that there is a "special department" that is allowed to modify reservations at this time and most cast members cannot edit them. She was told they are only editing reservations through July 4th at this time, but to stay tuned as they will get to my July 24th reservation soon. I asked her what's being modified and do I have a reservation still and she said to just stay tuned.

I really hope our trip doesn't get cancelled because disney got a better deal by letting MLS stay at the hotel instead of us.
