[hereforthechurros]

Park reservations will be available through September 26, 2021, based on your Resort stay and ticket eligibility or ticket eligibility window.

Sorry just pulling out the juicy bits!

Ok.. the mystery of the YC to Poly switch. Apparently there is a convention that was scheduled for the Yacht/Beach the last week in August & beginning of September - it was cancelled to go virtual — but is now back on.
Disney making its return to doing conventional/conference business...

I think the meeting is still going virtual. Disney is just honoring the convention rate for anyone who had a reservation and still wishes to visit.

At this time, guests will be able to select one park per day; visiting more than one park per day will be temporarily unavailable upon the reopening of the theme parks due to attendance limitations.

We hope to bring back the ability to visit more than one park per day soon and will continue to offer these add-ons for 2021 ticket purchases.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will open the Disney Park Pass system to these guests in phases, beginning with those with future Disney Resort and other select hotel stays

Good news for Swolphin guests and those at DS hotels and the Four Seasons.

@SaintsManiac - finally!

Want to Book a New Vacation?

By June 28, all Guests will be able to purchase new Disney Resort hotel packages and theme park tickets and make their park reservations for arrivals starting in 2021 as our phased reopening continues. Guests will be able to view park reservation availability online prior to purchasing their tickets.

In 2021, we plan to unveil an innovative new offering as part of the My Disney Experience app that will bring features of a MagicBand to your smart devices, building on the app’s existing digital key feature. With this new offering on the horizon, we will be retiring our complimentary MagicBand distribution to Disney Resort hotel guests for new reservations with arrivals beginning Jan. 1, 2021. Disney Resort hotel guests will continue to have the option to purchase new MagicBands at a discount, and we’ll be introducing even more colors and designs featuring favorite Disney characters in the future. Guests who prefer not to purchase a discounted MagicBand will be able to use the My Disney Experience app or a Key to the World card during their visit.

Incase anyone misses it.

"At this time, guests will be able to select one park per day; visiting more than one park per day will be temporarily unavailable upon the reopening of the theme parks due to attendance limitations. Guests with existing tickets that include the Park Hopper Option or Park Hopper Plus Option have options available to them for ticket modifications and cancellations, and can visit DisneyWorld.com/Updates for more information. We hope to bring back the ability to visit more than one park per day soon and will continue to offer these add-ons for 2021 ticket purchases."

Park hopping officially on pause.

I am still not clear as to if Disney Resort Hotel guests without tickets have any priority at all. It seems no?

RIP complimentary bands

Still reading through things... does it say you have to purchase a MB now?

NM I see your answer above!

 

[Khobbs18]

Anybody know if we can change ticket dates now that MNSSHP is cancelled? We arrive a Sunday and were supposed to the party monday... tickets dont start until the Tuesday.

Well now that disturbs me as we don't have park tickets yet and didn't plan to buy this soon...maybe I can change resort stay to package "lite"? I'll have to see cost difference.

RIP complimentary bands

Yup. From the article:

"With this new offering on the horizon, we will be retiring our complimentary MagicBand distribution to Disney Resort hotel guests for new reservations with arrivals beginning Jan. 1, 2021. Disney Resort hotel guests will continue to have the option to purchase new MagicBands at a discount, and we’ll be introducing even more colors and designs featuring favorite Disney characters in the future."

That's rough. I'm sure it's just a casualty of budget cuts, but it's a huge bummer. I think the MagicBand system is great, and having everyone receive one was a huge boon to streamlining park entry and FP. I presume it'll end up a bit more like DLR in which guests are fumbling with their phones.

I know. I can book my March 2021 days.

They had previously indicated it would be rolling. I don't think it's particularly clear here.
