Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[NWOhiogal]

Florida had more than 4,000 new cases yesterday. I hope Disney is prepared; this isn't going away anytime soon.

So I wonder what we'll actually be able to book on the 28th? Will I have to just pick a different resort and hopefully amend it later?

Good question, I’m curious myself. At the very least you can always pick something and change resorts later when Movies is available again.

I noticed the list only mentions Animal Kingdom Villas-Jambo House. Doesn't mention AKL; unless it is an oversight, seems surprising.

They specifically told DVC members about a week ago that when Jambo DVC did open the restaurants and pools wouldn’t open until the cash side did, and said they could use the Kidani facilities in the mean time. So it’s not an oversight.

I had forgotten seeing that mentioned; makes sense then.

...THE PEASANTRY LIVES ON!

PEASANT PARTY AT PETALS!!!!

Yeah but the Pop peasants will have to deal with the All Star rabble that will likely get moved there

As previously mentioned all riff raff and ribble rabble is welcomed with open arms into the peasantry.

Pop on the 10th? The peasants will be thrilled!

OH WE ARE! THE PARTY AT PETALS POOL BAR IS BACK ON BABY!

PEASANT PARTY AT PETALS!!!!

I saw someone on another board accidentally us Pop Century pheasants the other day and it made me realize that we need a mascot.

I nominate the peasant pheasant. You can all just love this post in support.

Kidani will be open this week, since it is all DVC, right?
Edit: I see what you mean, regular rooms not mentioned. ( wish they had a emoji for slapping my forehead!

Okay, now we have some answers on what resorts are going to be open. Now we need to know about park food. I need to know about dining. It's the last piece of the puzzle to get DH on my side of the fence!

Wilderness lodge and Jambo house non-DVC not opening anytime soon (possibly for the year) is interesting to me. Very small amount of rooms available in the mod and value categories too.

Thank goodness. All-Stars will likely be moved to POP or AoA. I was worried about being moved to FW. It was the only resort my DH said no to. We love POP. My DD was disappointed when we had to book ASMu this time.

I wonder if that means that the Skyliner will be open?

honestly makes me glad they didn’t open yet, because you know they would make it seem like this was Disney’s fault if they had been open.

I think the chances are looking okay for sometime this summer.

 

[OnceUponATime15]

So those are the dates the resorts will open? Or the dates when they will start taking new reservations?

The screen cap says “available for booking”..
i’d guess they mean they will be available those dates, but it’s anyone’s guess — it’s more disney speak with a littleinfo but no hard info... lol

Do we know if park reservations are linked to specific tickets or just that you have to have valid tickets in your account? (No ap’s here). I have tickets linked that we had planned to use in a few weeks but parks are closed. 6 day tickets. Planning to use those in 2021 now, but want to do maybe 2 days in dec 2020. So can I make park ressies for dec now, because I have tickets in my account, then at a later date get 2 day tickets for 2020 And at the gate use the 2 day tickets even though I didn’t have those tickets when I made the park reservation? Or would I have to wait to make park reservations until I have the specific tickets I want to use those dates linked? Does this question even make sense?

It is not clear whether you will have to leverage your tickets in a valid manner when you reserve. I would imagine that you will not be able to do what you say but it’s possible Disney didn’t program their system right.

I imagine that is exactly the plan. CBR is the least expensive moderate though; I wonder if they will refund the difference for PO and CSR; in particular GDT seems like a substantial downgrade to CBR to me.

We’re booked in a CL suite at GDT - if we get moved to CBR I will riot

I'm wondering what will happen to my 3 nights at AKL...

Welp...wonder where they’ll move us to from CSR. We’re there first week of October (if we still go, still undecided since MNSSHP is cancelled)). I guess CBR might be ok (meh...) except NO pirate room as that’s a definite downgrade due to the double vs queen beds. And they don’t have an arcade, which my son enjoys (Double meh...). Hmmmm...waiting patiently. Somebody pass me the popcorn...

Makes sense. They need $.
