Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Bibbobboo2u]

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.

Does that expiration account for the new 1-month extension option that will be added in October (that is if you don't opt for a refund)?

My AP was set to expire on 8/29/2020. It was just extended until 12/24/2020. I arrive onsite 12/25/2020 through 1/1/2021. Are you saying they are giving AP holders an additional 30 days past the extension?

An extra month will be added in October of this year.

it says the CM needs to pick one park only per preview so either MK or AK and either DHS or EP
ETA it might just be 1 out of the 4
Cast Members and up to three (3) additional Guests (or the total number of eligible dependents on your Main Entrance Pass, whichever is higher), to visit one theme park of your choice on one of the following dates:

I have no non-cm friends in Florida other than my wife. Anyone want to be my plus 2 and 3? Lol

I'm pretty sure it's saying that, come October, they will add 1 additional month to all APs automatically onto the end of their already extended (from the closures) APs. So we all get 1 month free. If you don't want it, and prefer a partial refund, then you call them.

Yes there's an additional one month announced today. If your passes are paid in full. It won't be added until October and I don't know if Christmas park reservations will still be available.

Yes, it appears to stem from the lack of hopping privileges, if I am reading correctly. This additional month will be added if you don’t specifically request a partial refund and will show up in October based on what I have seen.

what park are you thinking of picking? I may be interested. PM me

My AP, with the extension, expires 9/8. So I'm without an AP from 9/8 until 9/30, then I will have an active pass from 10/1-10/31? That is so incredibly strange.

It says ”resort packages with tickets” can be modified or canceled. Mine were originally dated third party tickets, upgraded to flex tickets via Disney when that trip was postponed due to a medical emergency. They were not given a ticket extension to 9/21 like other dated tickets. So, I think it is unlikely they will refund my ph+ portion but I will certainly call next week.

Are you talking about Scott Gustin's tweet? That's not the way I read it. I read that he is warning you that you need to call and modify your ticket on 6/22 or later if you have a hopper. I have a "4-park plus waterpark" ticket that I also need to fix. That's the best info I have found for how to do so, and that includes calling Disney.

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

Were you just wanting to cancel and get full refund? Maybe it will be an option to get partial refund due to no park-hopping. Info on modification from website:
At this time, Guests will only be able to visit one park per day. If you have a ticket that includes the Park Hopper Option or Park Hopper Plus Option, we have several options available to you:

• Ticket Extension: You may use your current date-based ticket by September 26, 2021 with the existing add-on options, should the options return by that date.
• Ticket Modification: Resort Packages with tickets may be modified or cancelled. To discuss your options, please call the Disney Reservation Center at (407) W-DISNEY or (407) 934-7639 beginning June 22, or contact your travel professional.
• Ticket Cancellation: If you do not want to use your ticket, you also have the option of cancelling your ticket or package. To discuss your options, please call the Disney Reservation Center at (407) 566-4985 beginning June 22, or contact your travel professional.

So if my children have always been in my account they should be fine. I guess I will find out Monday

Yes, that's what I am thinking. I can see all of my family tickets on my account right now. Fingers crossed all goes well on Monday.

I took the “(w-o-w) hotel rooms” to mean that AP holders will only get 2 park reservations at a time, regardless of whether they have an onsite stay or not. But she’s working to confirm that.

w-o-w = with or without

Wait this would be outrageous for out of state AP holders with a resort stay.

I'm seeing on a FB group that an AP got an email saying:

"To thank you for your loyalty, we want to give you a sprinkle of pixie dust by mailing you an exclusive magnet later this summer (one per household)"

Speculation: begin!

 

[jenjersnap]

Yes, was hoping for partial refund of the ph+ portion, not total cancelation. I will see if they can do it next week, but I am pessimistic.

I keep refreshing but no news about what's happening to the value resorts. I have an all stars reservation, no tickets, and I am not feeling good about the uncertainty!

 

[AmberMV]

I think it's being misinterpreted. Regardless of type of ticket media, a ticket and a resort stay gets you length of stay park reservations.

I saw this on Twitter! Some are guessing it's just the 2nd F&G magnets that they weren't able to give out because of the closure.

Amazing . Score one for me!

No worries. With a resort stay, you are eligible to book park reservations for each day of your stay with an AP. Not guaranteed to get them, but at least you can try. The limit will come into play if you stay off property or are a local who comes and goes from home.

I speculate that I won't receive it because I'm in Canada.
