Alright, any guesses or I have just been staring at all this too long this morning? I pulled up the moderate hotels, not through searching dates just to look at all of them. Prices listed as others mentioned but why does CSR say not available for this "special offer." What special offer? And why is my bar suddenly populated with dates I've never searched for? Interestingly our currently booked trip is August 1 - 9th.
I get the same message for Grand Floridian in September. Perhaps its related to them blocking for NBA.
 
I think Ratatouille will get a lot of people into EPCOT, if it opens in August. Not sure if they’ve continued construction on that ride but that seemed to be the guesstimate on an opening when construction was allowed on WDW.

But most of the reservations will be going for DHS and MK followed by EPCOT and AK

I think Ryan said they were 10 weeks away when everything shut down.
 
If thats the case I think its more likely we'll see reservations walked to similar levels of resort, and not just cancelled.

As someone with three split cash stays at the MK deluxe resorts I would be absolutely fine if they put me in my family favorite CBR. I just want to see the castle once this August.

But I am always the pessimist that is happily surprised when things actually work out. So I am still in the mindset my honeymoon is about to be scratched.
 
I don't think park reservations especially for on-site people are going to be as tough to get as people are worried about.

Maybe Day 1 it won't but what about if this system continues until June 2021 and beyond? From an IT standpoint, making a system that checks that a guest has one day at each park for their stay is a nightmare. I would doubt there will be any such thing.

Yup. And when construction on property (not necessarily the Ratatouille ride) resumed, 10 weeks would have had it at I think IIRC the last week of July, first week of August. Thats assuming they started the day they resumed construction. But I’m not sure we’ve heard if they’ve continued work on the ride. So we might be looking at F&W time frame opening for the ride

I think they stretched it out that far, and possibly have plans further as a safety barrier. Its easier to take away the restrictions than it is to add them on. The reservations could go to June 2021 and beyond, but they dont have to. If things get much better in September and it looks like the 2nd wave wont be what was originally expected, I could see the reservations being taken away by December.

All they’re doing is setting up the system, something they didnt have in place prior. Its just better to over prepare than under prepare.
