Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[mmackeymouse]

I was told by a chat CM that park re-entry would be permitted so I would be surprised by blocks of time.

Was the CM's name Sven/Finn/Flynn?

I am without words. I know I went on a little tirade the other night, but now with this news dropping I feel it was 100% justified. What absolute garbage. I would prefer they just stay closed. I'm sure they will walk back the reservation period once they see how much it is needed and how long we are living with these conditions but man, I have never felt so disrespected by Disney.

The silver lining in all of this was how excited we would be to be a part of the grand re-opening. Now it sounds like that will be literally impossible. What happened to APs getting first crack at the ressies? Getting them before hotel guests never made sense to me, but I thought maybe they'd be at the same time. Going earlier for AP previews if they do them still won't be the same thing. If the goal is to get rid of APs eventually then they have completely lost sight of Walt's vision and are essentially saying they don't care about us, because we don't bring in as many $ per day than a resort guest. Despite the fact that we've poured way more money into their bank account over the years than these once in a life timers do.

I'd cancel my AP, but that would just mean I'd never get to go. And as angry as I am with the leadership, that doesn't change the fact that is my absolute favorite place on earth and almost essential to my mental health.But really. So as angry as I might get and seem, it's out of a place for wanting the company to be what it used to be and hold them in check. But when it comes to voting with my wallet...yeah I'm all talk.

So....if I had an April hotel stay cancelled is it still possible to get it rescheduled for opening day? lol

Abraham...

Last time I brought 3 and only 1 worked! I guess they do get old.

They do - my DH had to retire his favorite Pluto band.

 

[wareagle57]

With these announcements Disney basically told APs they don't care about us. Unreal.

I have a Platinum AP despite being a CM because I wanted to never have blackout dates. The real perk to me was getting to bring friends and family for free. So does that mean CMs and their guests will not be able to have gone to the parks for nearly two years!? That is a huge perk to take away.

We’re all freaking out about park reservations and I’m just waiting with my POP reservation to see if I even have a bed!

Us too!!! We are scheduled to arrive on the 15th.

I can’t keep up with all these replies, So might have already been mentioned,so might have already been mentioned, but I’m wondering if I make my reservations and in about a month I decide I wanna change my eight day park tickets down to four how that would work or if it would work at all

 

[OnceUponATime15]

Well they said they will be releasing new for purchase ones. That said yeah this seems to be the start of a phasing out.

What will I do with the 50 I have?

Christmas tree garland??

Same, but All Stars. I don't think my heart could handle it if I got all of my reservations, and then found out later I was pushed out because my resort isn't open.

 

[LeeLee'sMom]

I'm super confused by this. Even though we will have a reservation on site - because we do not have tickets or our AP's - we will be put into a pool of everyone else to buy tickets at the same time and then even people who don't have an onsite reservation will be competing for park time with us in the park reservation system?

that is less than ideal if so.

I feel that is totally insane. So after we buy tickets and look up to see availability what if there is nothing? Then we are SOL?

 

[Searc]

Bye Disney. With everything that's been announced today, I'm out, probably forever.

 

[grimgrinninggrog]

I agree, this is crazy. I know Disney has a monumental task in sorting this all out, but there are several scenarios that don’t appear to be well thought out.

Heading over to the resorts board to check out the rumor that folks with post July 11 reservations at non-DVC resorts are being told they have to pay to be moved to one of the open DVC resorts.....

 

[rockpiece]

I don't see how they expect us to spend a full day in Epcot.

 

[karen4546]

So on Monday I have to select my park reservations for our May 2021 trip and no park hopping? And I thought 6 months for ADRs was insane.

Wait What??

I missed the last 14 pages from this morning this is on 1529 and i am trying to catch up..

What do you mean "select my park reservations for our May 2021 trip"?

 

[fla4fun]

Christmas tree garland??

We actually do that! Three bands a trip, minimum four trips per year, and it’s a long chain now.

 

[evino526]

I have a 5 night stay in November and bought 5 day park hopper tickets. Before the reservation closures, we had planned on adding an additional park day to spend time in a park on our departure date. On our last trip, we added a park day while on property. The wording for the Pass System mentions that if you have multiple day tickets, that you'll need to make reservation for each day of your visit. I'm wondering if it'll allow me to make a park reservation since it falls on during my stay, or if it'll block me because I don't have enough park tickets? We're still moving forward with our trip for now with the hope that some of the offerings will be back by then.

Will hotel and ticket packages be sold for all of 2021 on June 28?
Do I need to make a booking now if I want to attend the 50th anniversary celebrations?
