I don't see a way that they're going to be able to stop people from walking to other resorts.

They could put security at each path connecting to resorts checking for ADRs if they really wanted to, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. My guess is it’s probably like before the close where some people reported not being able to park in certain resort lots without an ADR, I’m guessing it’s monitored at the gate driving in but not many other places.
 
I don't think the lack of communication is acceptable NOW. You've been angry with them for a long time. I am surprised you haven't canceled.
Well it’s illogical I know, but I keep giving them a chance to make this right. DS is 2 so there is much else that we enjoy that’s easy to do with him.
 
For the ppl who think Disney’s current lack of communication is acceptable, do you have trips booked within the next 30 days? Genuinely curious. Maybe I’m being unreasonable, but it feels like those of us who are the most frustrated are the ones who are being most affected by it.

58 days here until my WDW honeymoon. It is beyond stressful but I’d prefer them to take their time and do it right the first time, instead of rushing and giving out half-correct information. Or even worse, I see the stitch ate this page that I loath so much.

We were supposed to go to Hawaii for the first week of our honeymoon and then WDW for a week, but we don’t even know if Hawaii will drop the 14 day quarantine requirement by then. So our hands are tied and we are just rolling with it.

Trust me, I don’t “roll with it” ever, but as a 2020 bride it’s the only way to keep some semblance of sanity.
 

If there was no profit incentive, the company would not exist and we all would have nothing to complain about. 😝
And that’s fine. But anyone who thinks they’re doing what they’re doing out of the goodness of their heart is naive imo.
 
DVC is another animal entirely that Disney is navigating. Disney should definitely offer to extend point use into next year and possibly 2022 for DVC owners affected by the closures.
They already done some of it. My immediate concern is when they're going to go back to the "cancel under 30 days and your points go into holding" policy that is currently waived. I would think that would have to be announced long enough ahead of time to make sure people aren't caught out, especially after doing extra things for people and points during the closure period like extending expirations and such.

that's what I'm thinking, they wouldn't be doing flyover for stock footage if the castle wasn't done
This flyover will take place over the next 4 days and cover the entire property
I wonder if that means that they’ve at least neatened up some of the demolition/construction at EPCOT?

I hear you, but 58 days is not within 30 days. We are scheduled to be there opening week which we didn’t know would be opening week until a few weeks ago. I won’t have the advantage of seeing how it goes for others so I need Disney to give us info. And I whisk just reschedule til later but can’t do that either so I either cancel or wait.

I don't think it's going to be easy at all. We just got back from Orange Beach. That was easy.
 
What do you mean? How do you not know if you have a room or where it would be? When you call they can't give you any information?

I have a reservation for GF checking in 7/18, but as of now Disney had only confirmed DVC resorts and Ft Wilderness. Check-out before 7/11 are being moved at the moment (Disney decides, you have no choice), but they tell you absolutely nothing about resort stays after that. I'm fine with moving, as long as its comparable (or rate adjusted if it isn't) but we know nothing. I just want them to tell me I'll actually have a place to stay.

It’s a pandemic. For my beach vacation earlier this month, the county literally opened up for rentals the Friday before the week I was going. I only found out because I watched a city council meeting online. My resort never contacted me, and I didn’t expect them to. I called them to make sure they were open, I went, and I had a great time. If you keep any hotel reservations in the middle of a pandemic, I think it’s on you to keep track of things and to accept that you may not be able to plan for every detail in advance. Some things are going to be closed. You may or may not know what those things will be until you get there. The tourism industry has way too much to worry about right now without having to communicate personally with every guest who has a reservation, annual pass, ticket, etc.

I agree, I don't see Disney putting that kind of effort in to stopping people from hopping between resorts once they're on property. They definitely won't be stopping anyone from getting on the bus to a different resort at the parks. It seems like it's just the same policy that you can't drive to a resort unless you have an ADR or room there.

If you are not okay with not knowing how it will go, I’d suggest not going. With how this has all played out, I wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t hear until July 1st.

My wedding is within 30 days, not WDW, but the venue is not committing to being able to hold the event until our state makes a decision on gathering size, which could be within just days of our wedding date. I have accepted that and have adjusted accordingly. So I do understand the frustration, if not even more, as I have a whole group of people waiting on me to hear whether or not they need to come or make a decision to cancel. Also I’d like to know if I will be married in 30 days or not 😝

I wonder if you could use mobile order at a counter service restaurant (I’m not sure if any of the resorts that are opening have that available) and use that like an ADR to get access to the resort?

not only that but they would need to have CM stationed at each bus stop at DS to check MB and make sure people boarding the buses are actually staying in that resort.
I am keeping an eye out for dining reservations but if those don't open up I will be trying to board a bus at DS to the resorts once they reopen on the 22nd
