Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

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.

NOW they decide to mail them out after my AP expires???

I'll take all the stuff they are willing to throw at me. My day that started out rough with our minds blown collectively is getting better little by little!

Amazing . Score one for me!

My passholder email said that as well, waaaaaaaaay down at the bottom after all the other confusing news

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.

Good luck

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.

IMO, this would fall under the "modification" allowance. We have PH that we're hoping to modify down to base tickets (with applicable price difference) should PH still not be available by our PIF date.

I do not believe this is accurate,...if you manage and can see the ticket for them, you will be fine,

If someone in your travel party is managed by someone else..then you need to be sure they have their own account and it’s linked to you.

I called and the ticket just has to be linked to their profile. I bought a vacation package, so My kids and husband are already linked in my account and manage by me. It is similar to the FastPass system.

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.

Thanks - I know - I was just asking if her AP expiration date of 1 day prior to visit included the extra month that will be added in October. I didn't know if she was aware of that new "bone" they threw AP holders!

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

Same! But I am entertained it’s part of their recovery all the same.

It should really be both. The Donald magnet was available for all of 15 days. I doubt many APs got to get them.

 

[CaLuCa]

So this ticket modification for the ph and ph+...Does that mean you could get a day added to your existing tickets since you can't use the ph? Or am I reading way too much (Hope) into this?

I'll take any "bones" I can get from Disney, but not having the extra month added on until October means that my AP isn't extended enough by Monday for me to make park reservations for my February 2021 trip. Sigh. First world problems...

I truly hope you are right but my tickets are screwy.

IMO, this would fall under the "modification" allowance. We have PH that we're hoping to modify down to base tickets (with applicable price difference) should PH still not be available by our PIF date.

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.

I would call as that would not seem right.

Pffft must be nice to have gotten the email!

Can anyone imagine the meltdown if people staying at disney cant get into a park and someone staying offsite does??

Resort guests will have a very short window next week where they have priority over non-resort guests. After that, guests can make Park reservations when they purchase their tickets or book their package. I think that for busy times, guests that are timely about purchasing park tickets may outmaneuver onsite guests.

I think back on our first Disney trip as a family in 2009. We booked about 3 weeks before arriving. Got the DDP too, and made ADRs, and read up on paper FPs, and had a blast. Then, FP+ was introduced and made it so that you needed to book, ideally, more than 60 days in advance if your were staying onsite and at least 30 days if you were offsite.

And now, before you decide on last-minute trip, you will need to check to see if you can get into the parks.

I'm not complaining, I think this is the only way that Disney can control the capacity effectively. If they let people continue to purchase tickets, and then you cannot get into a park, then that would be a mess. So, I completely understand that you have to make reservations when you get your tickets.

Well, still waiting on the park reservation one, so I am not in the clear yet. It probably won’t come until tomorrow. Usually I am a day behind everyone else.

Hey, there, APs...you know, we like your money, but we also like other people's money. So, in lieu of park hopping, unlimited visits, free parking, discounts on anything, special offerings and anything else we previously promised when you purchased your AP we are gonna send you a leftover magnet we have in our storage facility. Enjoy!

And see, I got the park res email but not the AP email...alas, this is the same IT that is going to handle 15 months worth of park reservations starting in 3 days?

I talked to three different phone cast members today and they all told me that an annual pass linked to your MDE that had not yet been officially activated would work fine for reservations on Monday. I’m seeing others across the internet being given that answer too, so fingers crossed!

Thank you!

We are still waiting on news for
1. What non-DVC resorts might be open and which are closed (and related moves if applicable)
2. When we can make dining reservations for resorts stays after July 11

Right?
