Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Farro]

So I have a room only reservation starting on the now famous date of Sept 26, 2021. In MDE it is called "21 Return Basic Package" and so far I have paid $200 for each part of my split stay. I know that availability was already somewhat limited when I made my reservation a month ago.
Hope this helps.

Yes, that's how they started booking this year, it's new.

Unfortunately apparently I booked before they started doing that...

This is where Disney IT scares me. If I pull up my friends and family list I see all 6 family members going in October.

But, on the planning page it only shows 4 of us and only my tickets (AP voucher) even though if I log in to each account I see their tickets (also AP vouchers).

Everyone who you have plans with that does not have an MDE account has to be managed by you.

If they are managed by someone else, then you can’t plan foe them until they have their own account.

So, if one of the people you are seeing in the top is managed by one of your other friends, that person has to now create their own MDE and connect as your friend...then you can book for them.

I just can’t! You got an email for a May 2021 trip & I still haven’t gotten even 1 email for a July 12, 2020 trip!

I’m with you! No email yet for our July 15 trip!

What I am confused about is that we have a RO reservation AND 9 day park hoppers purchased through UT. Does that mean we need to upgrade to a package? That is some absurd stuff...

No

 

[newpherchris]

That would be mighty generous, especially if I’m still allowed to use the pass in August and October (right before my pass was set to expire pre-extension). And on top of that get a 7 month refund? I feel like thats expecting a lot, and might be more than the “more than fair” that Remy spoke of

No I'm thinking you get the 7-month pro-rated refund in lieu of using the pass for planned August / October trips.

Passholder question.
I NEVER get AP emails but I absolutely WANT to have a shot at a preview. Is there some sort of setting on MDE that I need to turn on to receive emails?

Here's the link that worked for Pandora and Toy Story previews...
might work ...soon

Trying to catch up on the 75 pages that happened while I was at work, so sorry if this was asked. I didn't see anything about the staggered times everyone was talking about in the info from Disney. Is that not happening that you can be there all day once you get a reservation?

Value peasants right now... Surely we have to hear something soon, right? I just feel sick.

Yea, that’s what I was afraid of. There is no way I am messing with an account that has a current resort stay and ticket attached so I will just log into their account separately to make their reservation. If that doesn’t work it will be just one more reason to delay this trip until things start to make more sense.

Did everyone see this shocking tidbit??

No...you have your tickets and room already. It is only for those with room only in 2021 with no tickets who want to be able to book next week some park reservations for their trips in 2021.

 

[Mfowler7828]

So maybe I missed it but has their been a list of rides and shows that won’t be open before we all enter the hunger games to make these reservations?

 

[jsbowl16]

Is there a limit on the number of days you can reserve if you have resort reservations? We have 6 days planned for August and 9 planned for December. We have AP.

You keep saying this, do you know for sure? Not about poster who already has tickets, I get that.

But I was specifically told that I had to upgrade, regardless of reserving parks next week or not.

I'll be very happy if you are right and she was wrong!

14

Yep July 12 is my departure day and I finally got the email a couple of hours ago. Haven’t heard a thing from them except when they canceled dining. CM told me on phone yesterday that I couldn’t reschedule/modify my trip until later. I guess Monday is finally later.

 

[hereforthechurros]

Folks - take a break and calm down. Let's wait until more is known or clarified via Disney. I'm sure there's confusion caused by the wording, and trying to include what a phone CM is saying isn't making things any clearer. I'm thinking Disney will fix the wording over the weekend. As it is now, some posts here don't make sense. Not going to single any out, but some worked up folks need to relax.

I was kidding about the demise of my SO. He makes me the best cocktails and loves wdw more than I do <3

as long as you’re on-site it seems it will be the length of your stay up to 14 days.

Yep posted it earlier. I can’t even keep up in this thread lol.

 

[Disneysoule]

I’m in the no email club too with LSUmiss. Reservation July 25th. Maybe we won the extra SOON reservations and they are waiting to tell us after everyone so they don’t get jealous lmao.

 

[cwaltjen]

Yeah by 4 pm they had removed that ability. I’m going to kill my SO for telling me to wait. Look for me on the news haha.

I just looked and ticketsatwork.com has annual passes available for purchase. Not much of a discount, but at least they're available.
