Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Perdita&Pongo]

Awe we still thinking that park reservations will be made 30 days out (obviously not including early/mid July.. but once this is up and rolling)? Or has the predicted window changed?

I just don’t see how that would work with 60 day ADRs. Seems like that’d be putting the cart before the horse.

Totally agree. That’s also why I was thinking we’d get resort news before the park reservation news. How will people know if they should book a park if they don’t even know which resort they’ll be at? If it’s a resort they have to pay to upgrade to (total speculation, but what if??) then they might end up cancelling and wouldn’t need park reservations. So, shouldn’t resort info come out first???

It would also be reasonable to assume that Disney will move people who have valid reservations to open resorts like they have been for the pre-park opening period. I really don't think Disney is going to ask someone to pay the difference between a value and a deluxe if the value hotel is not open. Using the extra Deluxe rooms isn't going to cost Disney that much more in reality.

Like I said I always have my popcorn ready...

I know this is wishful thinking knowing Disney IT, but is it possible that booking in park dining or an experience could automatically add a park reservation (if available)?

I fear back and forth of booking dining one day but then not getting that park, switch park day but now dining not available...

I thought that CL was "paused?"

It is paused, but for an unknown duration. That's why I thought the post was very interesting.

I agree. I would think it would have to be 60 at least, eventually.

Ok I'm here with my coffee! I have things to do today, so I would love for news to happen when I won't fall 15 pages behind on this thread.

Yesterday I fell about 30 pages behind - that will teach me to try to run errands and do some work!! My pups are looking at me saying "Ummm -we're hungry and would really like to eat now. Can you please stop looking at that thing and FEED US NOW?" Catch up with you guys later!!
ETA: Please NOT 30 pages later again - that was brutal!

It was a common issue that ADRs were often before official park hours were published so this would not at all surprise me

Harmony Barber Shop being closed is probably most disappointing to me since my DD desperately needs her hair cut and has only ever had it done there. But our trip is in August, so things may have changed? Not counting on it though- the space is very tiny.

On the other hand, I joked with DH today that these cancellations they released today are his dream trip- he rolls his eyes when I book the extras and now I can't!

Hopefully we get that info today.
My trip starts Aug 3, and I am not mentally prepared yet to have the pressure Monday. I need to read about other ppl's experiences first.

That is my date, too. Very nervous. . .

Called in to get an answer on adding a day or park hoppers to existing package. CM said they cannot modify at all right now. She said it was a little crazy that they announced the F&W festival but won't let anyone add tickets to attend. Not surprising but just confirming for anyone else! There was no wait by the way, call went right to a CM.

She also shared she doesn't believe hopping will be allowed NS said she believes the current system, of them only handling one bank of dates at a time, will continue and to keep watching my email.

Same, I was scratching my head.

Thank you. And that poster is taking the webinar this afternoon! I am ready to see some real screen shots.

I'm glad I picked up my new readers yesterday, was having trouble reading all the screenshots people are posting! (turning 46 has a whole bunch of fun stuff associated with it )

Now I'm ready!!!

It's here!

!!!!!

Later this summer, we will resume sales of 2020 tickets and Disney Resort hotel arrivals, based on availability of park reservations, while we continue to provide guests with existing tickets and Annual Passholders the opportunity to make park reservations for 2020 dates.

Booking Dates for Park Reservations

The Disney Park Pass system will be available soon to select Guests. Booking dates vary based on your plans.

• Beginning June 22, 2020, Disney Resort and other select hotel Guests with valid theme park admission can make reservations.
• Beginning June 26, 2020, Annual Passholders without a Resort stay can make reservations.
• Beginning June 28, 2020, existing ticket holders can make reservations.

I agree that we will get resort news first, at least for the people who will have initial access to the reservation system.

Don't be surprised though if Disney only gives you a list of resorts open through a specific, not that far off date, with no comment beyond that date. For example I wouldn't be surprised to seem them move people from POFQ with July and early August reservations this weekend, and then move people with late August reservations in 2 weeks.

They seem comfortable taking this a few weeks at a time.
