Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[tinkerhon]

I really don't see a downside of tickets/package, unless you can get them cheaper elsewhere. You can get a full refund of tickets if you book with a package. You aren't actually paying for all of it right now, not due until 30 days out.

But up to you!

Just please don't tell me that I would have to make my park reservations now w the package ! I have no problem waiting !

That's genuinely an insane jump. Blergh.

I thought my TA made a mistake and she said no I was just as shocked.

How long have people been stuck on this stupid "We're Almost in Orbit" screen when trying to book 2021 resorts today? I've been on It for about 35 minutes now.

When this happened Monday, it was because too many people were accessing the Sign In from the same page. So a "dining hack" was posted, where you go to dining and pick an available time at a DS location, then it asks you to log in, after you do that you can go back to where you were and get in faster. You don't actually need to make a dining reservation, you just need to get logged in.

@Farro you had no trouble booking the tower? I see no availability to check pricing for my dates...

There will be designated areas in the parks to relax in if you feel the need to remove your mask. You can remove it to eat or drink or if you’re in the pool. Otherwise, they ask that you keep masks on.

Just like anything else with Disney, there are varying degrees of enforcement. I’ve read accounts of lax enforcement in DS and then very strict enforcement in the resorts. But the rule is “Face coverings are required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) and Cast Members. Please bring your own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when dining or swimming.”

Oh well they’ll have to be annoyed me for 30 seconds as I pose for a photo lol

You would have the opportunity to make park reservations now if you book a package with park tickets. You would not HAVE to make those reservations if you'd rather wait.

Looking at that bus stuff I'm definitely going to change how I do things. I'm in atlanta area so normally drive down but also normally leave my car parked. Only time in recent trips I've even used it was in Jan for RoTR BGs. However, if I do go in Septemebr and buses are still like that, I'm driving to MK and AK. At least I'm at a skyiner resort so I have skyliner for after drinking around the world and Baseline/Ogas. I hate driving to MK due to the whole TTC setup but that is still likely better then those buses as shown.

And suddenly the Pop Peasants were peasants no more

"Let them eat Tie Dyed Cake!"

 

[Iowamomof4]

Yeah, that bus set up is pretty difficult for me. I really need to be able to look out the front to avoid motion sickness. Hopefully those screens are gone by April of next year!

 

[skeeter31]

Are they selling APs yet? Need to renew mine and was wondering if it was worth the wait time on the phone if they’re not even selling them yet.

 

[Wreckem]

The rack rates for POP and CBR don’t look that much higher than previous years for July 4 week.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

is the difference between that and room only the payment due date and cancellation period? 30 days versus 5/6/7? days?

Room only you have to put down 1 night as the deposit .... a ticketless package you have put down the standard $200

 

[SaintsManiac]

Pop was crazy high Thanksgiving week. When discounts came out I only wound up saving $20 a night because it changed my rate to 2019 (I had booked the 2018 rate).

Then why did you bother even asking what the rules are if you intend to break them anyway?

 

[JacknSally]

LOL okay

I am not booking yet for next year but I put in possible dates just to check it out and the only mod that came up available for the end of June 2021 was Caribbean Beach. Coronado had no availability.

 

[chicagoshannon]

Hi everyone!

If this question Would be better on another thread please send me a link to another.. okay so I understand we have to wear masks which I’m fine with.. but has anyone heard how strict this policy is? Just because I really want to take them off just or pictures... do we think that would be allowed?

Yes, you will most likely be able to take it off for a quick picture. It's allowed in Shanghai. No reason to think it won't be allowed in Florida.

 

[Disneyhanna]

Incl the tax for July 19- yep- $367 avg per night

That is crazy! I booked Pop for Marathon Weekend and 4th of July for 175 and around 220 (pre-tax) which I didn't think was too bad, I wonder why July 19 is so high...

I see availability for other rooms, but not the tower. If I change the dates it pops up. I find it hard to believe the entire Tower is sold out that week lol
