Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Neener16]

I shouldn’t be looking at this thread after a virtual happy hour, but I am not interpreting the following as me being able to buy tickets for my August 2020 room only trip on June 28th. I read it that if I had an August 2021 trip I could, but I have to wait for “Later this summer” to buy park tickets for my 2020 visit. Am I wrong??? If not, maybe I’ll have another cocktail.

Want to Book a New Vacation?
By June 28, all Guests will be able to purchase new Disney Resort hotel packages and theme park tickets and make their park reservations for arrivals starting in 2021 as our phased reopening continues. Guests will be able to view park reservation availability online prior to purchasing their tickets.

Later this summer, we will resume sales of 2020 tickets and Disney Resort hotel arrivals, based on availability of park reservations, while we continue to provide Guests with existing tickets and Annual Passholders the opportunity to make park reservations for 2020 dates.

It is incredibly unclear, and follow up reports have been conflicting.

On June 28 people can buy tickets for 2021. For 2020 it's "later this summer."

Which is what I thought but that’s different than the email that Swan and dolphin resort guests got today saying they could buy tickets on the 28th. There’s a lot of confusion, and very little clarity.

My interpretation is they are more optimistic about 2021, but need to really monitor things more closely for this year.

So my son turned 3 during the shutdown (last week, actually) and we have an AP we just purchased for him but how are we supposed to activate it without the parks open? We can't take him to the preview?

That's total crap.

They allowed me to book room only for 2021 and lock in my room rate at 2020 prices, like always.

Now they are forcing me to rebook as a package and pay 2021 room rates???

Get lost Disney, i'll fight that tooth and nail.

I still don't believe it. I have to be able to buy tickets separately.

you can buy tickets separatly but only After those that already have tickets make their reservation. I’m in the same boat for 2021 trip. I think for 2921 trips it’s not going to be a big issue but we’ll find out next week.

I’m staying at All Star Music Family suites in Nov. was told by TA in email today that we would be upgraded to a Villa at no charge.

Dates?

As I am sitting here creating my own conspiracy theories I am wondering...

Can the special and magical TAs still book their room deals right now? Or are they actually blocked out from booking too now?

I don't know. it won't hurt to try once the preview info comes out. Hoefully they will be more clear on that. In any case I would call maybe tuesday or wednesday and try and speak with a CM

If everything is linked to your MDE, you should be good to go.

Thank you! Everything was linked in January and it’s still there.

from a Dreams Unlimited point of view only, they are blocked out from booking. I am not an agent but I do have friends who are

Was that when Ryan kept locking it? Lol

I think he locked this one right before the parks opening announcement, but everyone just went over to the modified operations thread and continued the same conversation, then he opened this one back up and closed that one. If you combine both threads, we’re probably looking at 2,000 pages by now. That other thread was pretty useless since it was just the same conversation as here

Select park hours? What does that even mean? Lol. I want Magic Kingdom to be open from 6am to 3am the following day.

Two TAs on WDWMagic who took the training today said that they were explicitly told that the time slot refers to park hours for WDW. But that at Disneyland, time slots could be used.

My magical TA has not been able to help with anything.
