Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Lol.
So on the 28th, you can book packages for 2021 w/tickets, yes?

basically what I’m asking is if they’re going to allow people booking those packages to buy APs, or if they only allow them to buy single/multi day passes that coincide With the hotel reservation they make.

I’ve had that with the beer mug emoji as the placeholder icon for something on MDE. It wasn’t your imagination. It was the highlight of my day on the day it happened. I wish I’d screenshotted it, to be honest.

I had beer and cigarettes! I did screen grab it because it was too funny.

You go girl! Good for you!!

yep way to go. AND I bet those DVC bookings are pretty valuable right now

I may have made a post on a social media swap page and taught a stranger who could not get a refund how to link as friends and family as well as how to reassign tickets in a grocery store parking lot this morning in order to avoid this situation for my August trip.

...desperate times man

This is brilliant. I can rent someone both a DVC reservation and an unused Platinum AP as a package

(unless I totally misunderstood the meaning of your post!)

I was busy all weekend, and just couldn't keep up with this thread. Has there been confirmation on how far in the future we can book park reservations tomorrow? I've received no emails from Disney, but have 2 upcoming hotel reservations, and we're annual pass holders. I'm just wondering if we can book for all future hotel stays, or only a couple months in advance?

Todays info seems to be all dates..

Good luck tomorrow everyone! Is there going to be a new "Disney Reservation System Kerfuffle" thread we should be posting our experiences on tomorrow?

 

[chicagoshannon]

So are we thinking that the reservation link will be where the reservation instructions currently are in the MDE drop down menu?

Yes, that is what my friend who went through training said would happen.

Good luck to everyone attempting to book/change parks, resorts, whatever tomorrow! Hope all you guys end up with something that makes you happy.

And to anyone who happens to be playing the role of guinea pig and checking in tomorrow, be safe and soak up some Disney air for the rest of us!

Tomorrow is a big day

Fingers crossed for you!! I think I lucked out because I needed military tickets and our base has been stingy with refunds, so a lot of people are out $$ right now and stuck with tickets they can't use.

I won't lie, I'm impressed with myself this weekend. I managed to get both tickets and a new reservation in the middle of a booking halt (you can't stop my addiction Disney - try as you may). I have spent WAY too many hours on the internet though, and with tomorrow finally being SOON, I don't see that getting much better in the near future.

I have two sets of military tix on my account that I can not get activated because our trip was canceled. AND the military member is active duty (guantanamo bay) as of next week!!! UNLESS he marries my daughter in the next day or two. I am hoping I can upgrade to regular tix when we arrive since technically we can make park reservations tomorrow. The trip where I need to use those tix is not until March. My September trip is covered.

Whoa ! that is some valuable real estate!!! I have two AP renewal certificates (GOLD) AND DVC that I could let go. lol

 

[Bibbobboo2u]

This is the exact same wording Disney used for all of the rolling cancellations for the past few weeks. I'm not sure how this is news. Anyone in an impacted hotel has been asked to call in to cancel or modify. If they do neither, the reservation auto-cancels within 7 days of the check-in date.

There is a difference. Rolling cancellations were occurring while parks and all resorts were closed, and they affected all guests. These cancellations are going to occur while parks and other resorts are open and only affects guests who chose the "wrong" resorts. The options are apparently the same - either self-cancel or modify or Disney will do it for you. It is the circumstances of those potential cancellations that is different.

Sending pixie dust to everyone who is going to try to make park reservations or try to change hotels in the morning!!! Here is hoping that we all get what we want!!!

 

[WonderlandisReality]

Is there a betting pool for what time the website crashes?

 

[BrianR]

So this AKL Jambo opening, is that just the umpteen DVC rooms or the whole thing? I'm going to have to call anyway (CL which isn't happening) but I'm trying to set expectations.

 

[JacknSally]

If we're thinking this all starts at 7am ET, I'll be surprised if the site is functional past 7:05am.

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

7AM. 7:02AM If we get really lucky.
