Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

How many for DVC complaining about POP peasants being at their resorts?

Like my 8 year old bringing up the same discussion, over, and over, and over, and over, and over...

Says more about how POP visitors (your words) feel, than anything else. DVC members speak much less of this than the former.

Not a word about how vouchers will be handled. I wonder what they'll do about the issue of people just grabbing a reservation just in case they want to go or just to see if they can get one whether they plan on going or not...because we know that's going to happen.

I mean isn't every ticket a voucher? My Ap is linked even though it hasn't been redeemed yet.

The discussion I've been following is much more in regards to DVC's being crowded and limited pool access issues. Most people don't seem to care how the guests got to the resorts, they just care what the guest count is going to be.

I know it's been asked and no one really knows the answer but I do hope AP vouchers are considered valid tickets for this.

I know for me the only thing I have on my account is a resorts stay booked for next year and a linked AP voucher (not activate) and I did get the e-mail saying I would have early access to the new system, so based on that I think vouchers would qualify as long as linked to you account

If I didn't know they painted it, I wouldn't even notice, I would just think "hey, the Castle still looks great!"...

True I got the email as well and haven't been panicking but for some reason that made me panic

If they don't give resort guests first exclusive access, that could be a problem.

I would hope they do what Six Flags is doing for those no showing their reservation. Six Flags may subject them to reduced system priority and blockout periods.

Vouchers are weird. They have always counted in regards to making FP's but there have been AP previews where people couldn't use them. It also changed recently where vouchers could no longer see AP discounts for rooms and pricing on hard ticket events. I have received no emails regarding whether or not I'd be eligible to book reservations. It does show as a valid AP in my MDE, but who knows. Until Disney says so, I count on nothing.

My friend last night found that her annual pass that she hadn't used yet had reverted to voucher form with an expiration date of 2030. They're doing something...

I'm starting to get the feeling that they will only make this system available to people with active tickets and APs when the reservation system opens, which would be a huge bummer...

She had activated it but not used it?

 

[Farro]

If vouchers were good enough to book fast passes with, I don't see why they wouldn't be good enough to reserve parks with.

APs have said exp 2030 before first use since before the shutdown.

That wouldn't fix the problem of people making reservations that don't plan on actually going. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that's exactly what they do. In which case, I guess I don't go back to WDW until they stop the reservation system. I've had my voucher since last fall, can't activate it because I got cancelled multiple times. Oh well, is what it is.

If this is a shot glass, I so need this to make reading this thread into a drinking game. M-word = 1 shot, Reservation system complaints = 1 shot, the word "soon" = 2 shots.

It is a shot glass, a very large one and that’s why I posted it for those with upcoming reservations that are stressed out haha

That's what mine has said since the day I linked it many months ago.

 

[SwirlTheCitrus]

Yes; no idea why she did that.

This is according to her; if it doesn't sound right it's possible she's delusional. Just FYI.

That has to be a glitch of some kind if it's true. It would make no sense at all for them to be deactivating AP's. lol

it does say on the site that its active aps

 

[AmberMV]

What is the difference between a voucher and an AP that hasn't been activated yet?
