You're right that it will be difficult to enforce this quarantine; however, your attitude is dangerous. States are now seeing the impact from those who also feel that the policies do not apply to them.

You're not alone though. There will be many people who'll drag themselves or children on an airplane down to Orlando despite potentially being sick and/or having been exposed to the virus. Like you've proven by your posts, you can expect people to do what's best for themselves without regard to others. No wonder the virus is spreading so quickly.

There are hundreds of people on these boards who are all going down to Disney soon or are there right now. Please explain how my family going in four weeks is anymore reckless then any of these other people. Because my governor is way more cautious then theirs?

Just remember folks, when you made those park reservations, disney said it did not guarantee park entry!

Correct.

Just like DVC members are NOT guaranteed park admission in our contracts. JUST that the resorts are open.

So Disney could keep these resorts open but delay park openings if they want to.

sorry but - you added tickets for a 2020 stay???? Did you already have tickets and you just added another day of ticket? or did you buy NEW for 2020

I’m sorry let me clarify what I was able to do. I already had tickets. A 5 day base ticket. I was able to change it to a 6 day base ticket (or any change for that matter) online.

As it stands right now we would be required to isolate for 14 days coming back per my state executive order.
Per the mandate the alternative is getting tested within 72 hours of our return and isolate from time of arrival until you get negative tests...I have made tentative arrangements to do that and my workplace in on board with the plan.
It is really not so hard to comply with the rules so we can go to Disney. I feel lucky that there are options to go.

Do you have a link to the mandate? I can't seem to find it.

I have a question. I booked a room only reservation today for 2021 and scheduled my park days. My brain is starting to get all jumbled up again and I'm not sure why I was able to schedule park days without tickets? Or is that allowed? And when the AP reservations open will that res in 2021 count towards my 3?

You were probably able to because you have AP and room. I am not sure how AP with room park ressies will impact regular AP park ressies at this point.

No is saying you can't go and that's it reckless. When you get home you are supposed to quarantine and that's where most have the issue.

Anyways Marni1971 on WDWMAGIC is saying that Disney is happy they are reopening but are very nervous about it.

It's starting to feel like the community board in here. Come on guys, this is usually a nice thread. We've been doing such a good job lately.

I haven’t been reading here for a long time but I need to get away from all the political garbage everywhere else. I’m with you, I just want to plan a Disney vacation.

I know!!!

Let's stick to park reservation freak outs!!!

Y'all are about to get this thread shut down. Cut it out please.

A slight update to my resort woes that isn't really informative, lol...

Booked at POFQ 12/1-12/5.
- TA originally thought we'd be moved into DVC on 6/22
- Then the resort reopening list came out Sunday, so she said she'd call to see what our options were
- Then Monday, she said she decided not to call and ask about our options, and that we should just wait and see

After lots of thread reading, I reached out to my TA this morning to ask if she would at least find out what options we might have for our move right now, and told her I've seen reports here from people who have been moved from mods to deluxes with no rate change. (We really want to be at POFQ but would jump at our few bucket list deluxe resorts if they were offered at our current rate. We aren't interested in CBR/CSR.)

Just got a response. She basically confirmed that the "matrix" that CMs were given yesterday ended any pixie dust upgrades. Looks like we could've lucked in to an upgrade if she had called for us Monday. Now CMs can only make comparable lateral moves unless that resort category is full, and she said they're actively discouraging any late-2020 changes now because there is a chance the remaining resorts will reopen. Also said the phones have been closed all day so she hasn't been able to get through to make any changes today.

So I guess we keep on waiting to see if POFQ opens up later on!

It's frustrating to get one thing from the TA and see other things on the boards... and can't call to try any moves ourselves because we went through a TA this time. Sigh.

Or that fact I am over 100 posts now!!!! hahahaha

I know that you aren't supposed to be able to until "later this summer" but has anyone been able to buy tickets for their 2020 stay by talking to a CM today? I know someone earlier added a ticket to their package for 2021.

Also - I've been watching a lot of the vlogs of people at the resorts now - I don't know how they would be enforcing no resort hopping. Has that been confirmed by anyone? These people are getting on a bus from their resort then getting off and going to walk around the Poly - they did not have a reservation.

Watching Prince Charming Dev's new video on YouTube from his Saratoga Springs stay this week. He said the lifeguard at SS told him each resort is only taking 20% of resort capacity right now. Take that with a margarita's worth of a salt.

I think at this point we could all go for a margarita

Great new discussion topic!

Who has more accurate rumor news? Disney bus drivers or Disney lifeguards?

I'm really curious about the actual numbers for the park.

 

[yulilin3]

apologies if this has already been confirmed but the skyliner will be operating at reopening, also still same wording on water parks being closed for now

Folks reminder to stay on topic. We don’t allow skirting the rules talk here.
