Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Sandisw]

I am not caught up but it did say something didn’t it about getting an email? There is a 4 day window for guests with tickets and reservations. I wonder if we will get some specifics before Monday.

It would make sense that maybe Monday is next 30 days, Tuesday adds more, etc.

Just because they didn’t come out with that yet, doesn’t mean it won’t be announced.

Would you be willing to purchase an AP? You can still do that now. I'm in the same boat. I have a resort reservation at the FW Cabin this December, but no tickets. I'm guessing (and hoping) that by purchasing an AP voucher this weekend that I will be able to make park reservations on June 22 along with anyone else who has a resort reservation and an existing ticket or AP. If I don't get the park dates and arrival times that I want and/or over the next few months, it looks like the park experience won't be worth going, I will just cancel my resort reservations and activate my AP voucher in a future year.

I’m in the same boat. I have a reservation at BWV in September but no tickets. And who know wha they mean by “late summer”. Purchasing the AP now might be a good idea!

I'm glad it isn't just me!



I booked on May 26th, which I think was shortly before that all got shut down. Availability for the 50th was still pretty good at the deluxes I checked at that time. Except contemporary CL/TPV.

I'm going to try to book for sure. Fingers crossed!

So are we counting out the possibility that they've got a set number of reservations per day, per park per reservation group? Let's say 20,000 people at MK (just a random number). Maybe they've capped the # of resort guests w/ tix to 5,000. Once those spots are gone for MK for that day, it shows as unavailable, so they have to select a different park for that day. Then when AP reservations open up they've already allotted for 5,000 reservations, and once those are gone, APs have to pick a different park, so on and so forth thru the groups until they're at capacity. Hope this makes sense how I'm trying to explain it.

I highly doubt that. I suspect on site guests with tickets will have first crack at reservations and everyone else will get whats left.

thats probably what they are hoping for. More people to book APs now.

No Park hopping as expected.

No more complimentary magic bands is interesting.

The fun begins Monday!

And for those of us with reservations close to 7/11, now we play the waiting game on if we will get the email or not.

If we currently have park hopper tickets, do we think that we need to get those downgraded/refunded now (before Monday when we make park reservations)??

Based on their statement, it sounds like you'll have an option to downgrade them to normal 1 park per day tickets.

I just don't see how they are going to allow park reservations for all of 2020 on Monday... i just don't get it... sorry it makes no sense

MDE is gonna crash. Can’t believe they don’t see this coming.

This is what I assume, as well-- the idea of a resort guest on holiday not being able to get in is more concerning than local APs with flexibility. Not that they're less important!

Can I also add DVC room only members to that list lol we don’t have AP but only DVC room booked through our membership and I have no idea where we fall since my points reservation isn’t a package

Yeah in the short term it pretty much dumped on DVC as a whole if you don't already have ticket media. On top of that a bunch of people having to burn points is going to be a big crush on the system summer of 2021. Glad I'm burning all my points now and won't have any to bank until 2022.

I know this has been answered but my head is spinning and starting to stress , so what day can room only without tickets, call to add on tickets?

Has not been answered other than “later this summer”

 

[SaintsManiac]

So the biggest question now is: WHAT TIME ON MONDAY?????

 

[Ninjagrrl]

Yes, they are going to try to keep onsite guests happy before everyone else. I didn't mean to imply that they're less important, although i expect that many AP holders will feel that way.

Not having a rolling reservation time on the park reservations and stating reservations can be made at purchase of the ticket/AP sounds a bit problematic to me. In case I missed it did they ever announce a maximum of park reservations that could be held at one time? What is to stop people with an active pass to make reservations every day for the next year? As long as they show for the reservation or cancel the day before if they do not show there is nothing to stop this from happening.

Surely more information regarding how many active reservation can be held at one time on an AP without a resort reservation will come out in the next few weeks before the AP with no resort reservation window opens up. If they do not place a limit it will more than likely end up being abused going forward as people will hoard reservations.

I'm thinking when folks currently with set resort stays without tickets are finally able to get them and try for park reservations, especially during the reduced capacity period, there might be issues.

For example: if someone already has a week long resort stay over the next few months from Tuesday to the following Tuesday and are finally able to get tix and then do park reservations, they could have issues getting anything on their particular weekend days due to locals / APs eating those up. Just throwing this out.

Methinks a lot of F5 will be going down Monday morning waiting for it to go live.

@yulilin3 posted on another thread 7am, I believe.

RIP call center CMs next week.

 

[woody337]

Can anyone explain to me why there are going to reserve entry times? Especially when people leave the park is a busier time of day?

There should be no reason you would need to modify your ticket before Monday. I have six day parkhoppers for my mid September trip and I'm waiting till maybe two weeks out till I decided to remove that option. Holding out hope that parkhopping might be available a couple of months after opening.
