Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Gosh I hope that’s not the case. It wouldn’t make any sense to not allow vouchers to count.

I agree.

If it is true and they are not giving full refunds I would urge people to dispute the charges with their cc company.

Thats absurd for them to do that

Considering you cant activate an AP until you enter the park, and you cant enter the park without a reservation. If you cant make a reservation without an activated pass, then you’re literally losing out on the entirety of the pass

Yeah kinda. They didn’t have information about AOA but once I brought up my peasant status it sounds like I would get moved somewhere. If it was upwards then no cost if to pop I would get a partial refund. Honestly I wanna go to AOA and Pop would be my resort of choice if AOA was closed but I am not a picky peasant. If it’s a campsite then a tent it is.

That is not what was shared today with others so it is a change from earlier or not accurate.

I have a feeling they meant linked but said activated.

Well this one is going to get a lot of people going nuts

That's the wording from the email about the Ap PREVIEW days.

 

[LeeLee'sMom]

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.

Believe me I get it,,,At least you are almost a year out, there are quite a few of us going in a month or so with flights booked and no tickets until who knows when, total BS how they handled this

 

[Mit88]

That's the wording from the email about the Ap PREVIEW days.

That makes more sense.

Scott needs to stop riling us up for no reason lol

 

[Llama mama]

Yup, that seems to be true

So there’s a limit to how long you can be in a park?

 

[one_cat]

I’m thinking more like time slots?? You’re allowed so many hours and then have to leave?

Can you just see them chasing you through the park to make you leave?

 

[Krandor]

Their messaging team is historically bad. I think what they mean is click a date, click a park, click the time...meaning the park opening/closing times will be displayed and you click on the time for said park. Who knows?!? I guess we'll find out Monday.

you are selecting an entrance time for the park. Rope drop as we used to know it isn’t gong to happen. Staggered arrival times.

That is for AP Previews. I think I read a rumor 1000 pages or so ago that unactivated APs would not be able to do the previews - guess they were right. Here is what the WDW website says:
Passholder Preview

Weekday Select, Theme Park Select, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus and Premier Passholders will have the opportunity to register for a special preview at Magic Kingdom park or Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park on July 9 or 10. Email invitations with registration details will be sent out soon.

Reservations are required and limited, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. An eligible activated annual pass is required to register.

Well that makes much more sense

Is this different than how it was for fastpasses? We have 4 room reservations under 4 different MDE accounts (multiple adults/kids)... We are all frienda/family; can see our plans etc.; however my
sister manages her families (2 adults, 2 kids)... are you saying those other ppl under her reservation (showing as "sister manages")have to each make their own account and "friend" me otherwise I'll only be able to reserve for my party and my sister who already hasthe account?

Argh...so frustrating...I've always been able too book their fastpasses etc and them mine.

That is my understanding because if the person in your account isn’t recognized as they person in the other account with the ticket, it won’t know they have one.

I had to do that with my Dds BF. Once he was linked, I could see his ticket and the person in my reservation changed to him and the person I had with his name did not,

Of course, I could have Misunderstood but since I am the one making them, I didn’t want to take the chance

 

[CastAStone]

Scott corrected himself - AP vouchers ARE good enough to make reservations.

[Bibbobboo2u]

Can’t make reservations without an activated AP, apparently.

Can't make AP Preview reservations

 

[polynor]

That is not what was shared today with others so it is a change from earlier or not accurate.

Wasn’t that wording for the AP preview days? Not for regular park reservations.

 

[Krandor]

As many people as it sounds like want to go to previews day they may be more crowded then regular opening day. Lol.

 

[MickeyWaffles]

Can you just see them chasing you through the park to make you leave?

I think it’ll be more like you can’t get in ride lines with virtual queues. You’ll show up as not being valid when you scan your band, card or whatever. Or you won’t be able to book anything after your expired time in the first place.

 

[glocker]

you are selecting an entrance time for the park. Rope drop as we used to know it isn’t gong to happen. Staggered arrival times.

I thought that was the case as well, but if you read through the thread, many are saying they were told that was not the case. Again, horrible messaging.
