Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[IceSkatingPrincess]

Virginia Parks will be allowed to open July 1st.
However it looks like Busch Gardens Williamsburg will remain closed until at least phase 4, to avoid the 1000 person limit the state has imposed on them.

Colonial Williamsburg is finally open though! Come on over for all of your weaving, blacksmithing, and brickmaking needs. Bring your kids, it's boring! (Okay maybe the first time is cool but it loses luster quickly)
...& people wonder why I am so antsy to get over to Disney I've been walking around a closed Colonial Williamsburg "for fun" on the weekend for weeks.

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

Is the NBA maybe coming back? lol (Well kinda...half kidding....)

That is the week NBA player can come back with their families to go and enjoy the parks. /s

Yeah well apparently possibly the whole resort is sold out for the time period I chose!

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...

For all the POP Pheasants that are driving for any reason now..including the bus limits,
Don't forget about the $15 parking fee..

It's so annoying!!! Makes me want to cancel everything.

There's also this goofy thing: It says "there's no theme park availability for one of your dates" when I was searching, but if you pull up the calendar it's all green.

Do you know what the FW Cabins is costing per night next summer?

That is absolutely insane. I'm paying slightly more than that for the Poly this August. On a great deal and not rack, but still.

PEASANTRY - ASSEMBLE! It is time for a revolution - READY THE PHEASANTS!

At least the peasants don't pay $25/night.

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

No trouble. It was early!

Only thing with Tower is I don't know if they hold rooms for conventions...

I can't even get on booking page anymore.

 

[MickeyWaffles]

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

If you do not want to follow the mask rules as outlined, going to WDW in the thick of a pandemic is probably not a great idea.

Wear. The. Mask. Do you really want to potentially get kicked out over a photo?

I have been trying to get a refund for the past few weeks for my Park Hoppers purchased from Expedia back in February. Disney told me it was Expedia's problem and Expedia kept referring me to Disney. After several phone calls and a Disney CM emailing Expedia on my behalf, I was preparing for a last resort call to my credit card to dispute the charge. Today I logged into my Expedia account to see if the tickets were still there, and there is now a CANCEL button! Cancel for a full refund was now an option on Expedia. Not sure if it was specific to my account, but it is there if anyone is in a similar situation.

I canceled the tickets and received an email confirmation from Expedia that I will receive a full refund. Now I wonder how long until they are removed from MDE...I already reserved parks too.

Yet!

 

[anthony2k7]

Wow, they’re going to have to run a ton of busses.

Yep highest number I saw on the seats was 5? So I guess that's a maximum of 5 families? Potentially only 5 people per bus.

Also only party number 5 seems to be a large-ish party?

I wonder if routes with other transport options will not have buses at all?

 

[SheriRae]

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.

I renewed mine this morning. I called right at 9am when they start answering the phone...no wait. After renewing, I was able to make all of my park reservations for the last week in December.

Interesting. I am thinking of moving our dates up since I think there's a 90% chance I am homeschooling this year, so school calendars don't matter now. It's a rate I can live with. DECISIONS.

I wonder if routes with other transport options will not have buses at all?

Even worse, potential of only 5 people per bus if you had 5 solo travelers

HS booked for Sat July 18 as well.
