Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[JPM4]

This makes no sense on any level. So my 3 kids, none of whom have email addresses or phones, will all (by Monday) have to have those created with a new MDE account and transfer their APs and resort stay credit to their new account? And then when you get to the park, what? I'm going to have to log in, log out, log in, log out, log in, log out every time we all need to get in the park or use anything related to the ticket?

Oh, and you'd have no idea you need to do this from the Disney website?

Yeah I don’t think the info from Pete was correct. If you try and link a reservation when you’re already on someone else’s it tells you someone already has this reservation. I’m pretty confident all we are gonna need is them in our friends and family list

I have a reservation July 11-15. Since the 15th is my last day, I have to choose between Epcot or HS
Do we know if SWGE will be open at HS on day 1?!

Has anybody that works on this from Disney ever actually stayed there as a regular guest? Because it certainly seems unlikely. One quick scroll through this points out all these problems that any experienced guest can point out, or shows how poorly worded and vague their information is.

Cast has been recalled for that area so I don’t see why not.

So when do NBA players get to book their reservations? /s

 

[jenjersnap]

Wow, guess our parkhoppers won‘t qualify for a refund based on that tweet.

We're platinum APs with 4 trips booked (July/Aug, early Nov, Thanksgiving week, and Jan). Neither DH or I have received a single e-mail yet.

The only email I have gotten has been from swan & dolphin. Nothing from Disney about my platinum AP.

So when can people without a vacation package already booked, actually book a vacation? Or hotels? Or Tickets?

All indications are it will be. Will all rides, stores, experiences, dining be available? Not sure on that.

I think he was referring to not having everybody's name on the reservation right away and doing the booking. Because it sounds like from here on out, you will have to choose your days when you're booking your package, and it may be packages only for a bit.
I don't think he literally meant everyone had to have their own MDE. It would be impossible to coordinate... What if you got your reservation for 3 of the 4 members of your party and then your 4 year old child can't get a reservation by the time you get to their account?
No way.

Not sure if I’ve seen this discussed. Without the water parks, those of us with Platinum Plus APs get extra screwed don’t we. I know premier passes we’re extended based on DL opening date. Shouldn’t Plat Plus get some extra compensation? Maybe some single day water park tix for when those open? I’ve gotta call anyway to find out how I get my extra month since our passes expire before October and we need them to book for our actual trip.

Nevermind, I see this was already posted!

Really wondering about 3rd party hoppers. My situation is unique and I do believe hopping will return by the spring, but I am a little nervous about it.

Me too, but my trip is end of August.

Saw they added something to the learn more page:
Merchandise Locations
In merchandise locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort, Guests will continue to discover favorite Disney items, with some modifications to the shopping experience that will help us manage capacity and foster physical distancing.

• New Product Launches: New collection product launches and limited-edition merchandise will not be available for in-person purchases at Walt Disney World Resort until further notice. As always, Guests can find these items on shopDisney, subject to availability.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a room only reservation in December (Christmas week). My Platinum AP expires the day before I arrive and I will not be renewing for the first time in 10 years. I planned on purchasing 7 day passes for my family closer to my stay but now with the Park Reservation System I am going to have to make a choice of going or not going. When ticket sales open up again, will there be a calendar of park day availability that you can see prior to purchasing a ticket? I don't want to spend thousands on park tickets and not be able to use all the days on the tickets.

So, if guests are reserving 2021 parks a year in advance of their trip, what are our guesses on how easily that reservation is modifiable to a different park (obviously based on availability) if you want to change your plans as your trip gets closer? ADR's and FP+ in the past have always been easily modified if there is availability, so do we think parks will be the same, either switching the park, or moving to a different time slot, or do we think it will be pretty locked in once you make that reservation?

id guess easily changed depending on availability. There will probably be a set time when you can’t change. I.e. 24/48/72 hrs before your scheduled day.

When are new ticket sales available?

Currently DH's platinum AP expires Oct 27, 2020. We have resort reservations in Nov (x2) and January, and had wanted to book Feb, 2021 also. I'm freaked out that we won't be able to renew DH's AP before August 28, 2020 (60 days before Oct 27), and that by then the park reservations will be booked up. Would we be able to buy him a regular multi-day park ticket (or a couple) and so we can make park reservations, and then upgrade that ticket (/ those tickets) to an AP renewal later?

That’s exactly what I thought. Earlier on this thread multiple people stated Pete said can’t all be under moms account. I would think children on the account would be fine.
