Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[skeeter31]

I'm with you on that. I didnt get one at all and I go in 39 days

These surveys were for August checkins.

I never get these surveys. I feel like my account is in the "Nah, it's all good. We can do pretty much whatever we want and still get her money" pile.

...and sadly they are not entirely wrong

#ihaveaproblem

right there with you (hate to be so predictable to them - maybe I need to try for a different resort and mix up the usual order of our park days and dining and FP+ and ....oh who am I kidding - they have us pegged!)

I have an August res and didn't get a survey

We are, too. We've been so many times, we don't really worry about fireworks or M&G. Table service is only important if it's a restaurant they really enjoy. The lack of park hopping bothers me. We usually stay at an Epcot resort so we can enjoy the World Showcase at night. One trip, my husband wandered over to get breakfast in France while everyone else slept in. Those are the things I'll miss. On the other hand, every single trip and plan over the last four months and the next three have been cancelled (including college tours with my oldest daughter). I suspect we'll jump at the chance to enjoy Disney in November.

We are park hoppers, too, so I'll be bummed if it isn't back by our November trip.

We are early Sept and I've seen folks with Nov reservations (resorts thread) have gotten the same survey today. It's either they're gonna cancel our moderate reservation anyway so why bother sending a survey or (hopefully/most likely) good ol' Disney IT doing what it does best!

Not sure if this has already been discussed but Jambo house availability has either changed tremendously today or there is a IT issue. I know we have discussed the lack of availability at Jambo House and the possibility of it being related to WDW hosting sports leagues until the end of the year. Either way, availability is back as of five minutes ago.

Yes it opened up this morning.

please raise your hand if you've yet to get any email communication from Disney regarding these changes.

What changes? The fact that Jambo is opening? Are they supposed to send out a mass email every time a single hotel opens? There’s been no other changes today.

I have a September trip booked (room only and separate tickets attached) only emails have been for cancelled ADR’s BBB and Harmony barber shop

I'm assuming the survey for Fall reservations is what she's referring to.

I think it’s probably random. We have an August DVC reservation and I didn’t get a survey.

Jambo house is not opening. All that happened was the rooms showed up as bookable by DVC owners today,

We could book rooms when resorts were closed too. You can even book Aulani which is not open.

It just means that whatever they did 10 days ago to wipe it out is back.

Not that I noticed. One of the items was "will you cancel if...." It mentioned "special events" being cancelled (I'm guessing maybe MNSSHP?) or Disney changing your resort. I did not notice any language on park hoppers, but admittedly I wasn't really looking.

Park reservations is your park hopper questions. Events would be like F&W..

please raise your hand if you've yet to get any email communication from Disney regarding these changes.

The only emails I received were for all the cancelled dining reservations.

My check in is Sept 26 and I got a survey.

Might not be a good choice for everyone, but the pool is zero entry ( we have 2 special medical needs little dudes we would be bringing) they would enjoy just being at the resort being able to see the animals, it seems that great food options will be available... Sanaa, Jiko and Mara. We “really” picked YC because, well we love it, and SAB. It was our “back up” plan for something to do when there was going to be less park time, I think AKL Jambo would lend itself well to this also

For us, the major drawback to AKL is the location. It's a gorgeous resort, and we love the restaurants, but we don't book there because the other deluxes have such better access to the parks (our favorites are Poly and Boardwalk, and we esp love staying where we can walk to either EPCOT or HS). If parks were taken out of the equation, AKL would be a much more attractive option.
