Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Amy11401]

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

You joke but I picked another week later in the summer and again no availability for Coronado.

 

[Sandisw]

For those that booked today, did it allow you to check it before making the Parks or after?

Wondering if a DVC owner can just book a package with tickets...put down $200...make reservations and the when they get new ticket sales up, just buy, attach, and then cancel the package?

If you can’t actually buy the package tickets without booking park Days First I it won’t work.

Yep highest number I saw on the seats was 5? So I guess that's a maximum of 5 families? Potentially only 10 people per bus.

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

Yeah... I'm driving everywhere. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to get to MK, but the bus situation sounds terrible. I don't want to be the one solo that screws everything up for a family of 10 or something and I just don't feel comfortable being on one of those things right now.

yeah, 5 groups - so technically if it is 5 separate solo travelers in the front of the line the bus would only hold those 5 individuals

So with the staggered park opening and closing times they should be able to flood routes to each park at those times with busses

Welp, then they can walk me on over to Riviera! Deluxe studio please!

 

[AmberMV]

Made resort reservations for Jan 2021 and May 2021, no bugs/errors/glitches making park ressies, yay! I REALLY hope room discounts come back though, these prices are SCARY!

Well you were able to book May. I have tried dates in the end of June and July but no availability is showing for Coronado.

 

[Farro]

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.

You joke but I picked another week later in the summer and again no availability for Coronado.

So my dates still show complete availability - 4/28-5/7 for whole resort except the regular room Kings and Suites.

I asked my TA to switch us to 5/15-5/22. It's wide open.

For whatever reason I accepted moving from GDT to a Riviera deluxe studio when changing my dates from pre-opening to November. My original reservation was like $1300 and the CM was like "your new total will be $2800" and I just laughed . I accepted because they weren't requiring deposits and I figured I'd rather have a room booked to modify later in case they stopped taking reservations, but I thought it was hilarious that my price was more than doubling for a room half the size.

 

[CastAStone]

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

They have the right to throw you out of the park without a refund for that, and I bet they will be doing it. Have fun.

 

[Farro]

Well you were able to book May. I have tried dates in the end of June and July but no availability is showing for Coronado.

If I look at Jun 16 - 22 there is a lot of CSR available. Want me to check another week?

So another tidbit, I booked Riviera this morning because it was in my shopping cart and then the little spaceship kept popping up when I tried to add another resort. I really did not want to pay over 6k for a Disney vacation, so out of curiosity went back in and modified it to Coronado tower half the price. The system let me do it and my park reservations are still there. (we normally like Yacht or Boardwalk because of the nightlife and walk to Epcot, but first trip without kids and we snagged a king bed - never stayed at Coronado either).

Super easy too, strange yes.

 

[Krandor]

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

Thatt seems very pleasant from a rider perspective... once you are able to get on a bus.

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.

Over an hour here.

So for any TAs out there - Did Disney give any info to you about why they are not currently opening up the closed resorts for 2021 reservations? I know it is the ones that don't have a 2020 opening date yet, but I am wondering why not for 2021? Do you think they will do that anytime soon, and if so, will changing resorts be difficult?

No kidding!!! I don't have a lot of hope for discounts later, but that would be a great surprise! Our favorite resort is not available, so I opted for another one for 2021 trips. Hope it opens up later so I can try to change. So much chaos now!

I think the deluxe studios at Riviera are a nice size for two people.

I'm only saying this because early on people were moved due to NBA from GDT to deluxe studios free of charge.

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

2nd week of June is $448 avg per night.

Yeah, I'm still mad at DLP since I have not received the refund that I requested in MARCH. It didn't get actioned until May, and it can take 12 weeks from when it is actioned. The process over there is insane. DLP's resorts process makes WDW look like it has it's act together right now.

Not a TA but by guess is they have learned their lesson about giving dates and allowing bookings when they don't know anything so they are going to just not allowing booking in those until they know what the opening date will be - you know what they should have done from the start.
