Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[one_cat]

Yup, I tried to get tickets and no go.

This is the error when I tried:

"There are no theme park reservations via the Disney Park Pass system available for any park on the date selected. Check the reservation availability calendar to see when you can go."

Every day was green.

I can’t even select a date. I will try again in the morning.

Park reservation system for guest with tickets but no reservations is open. Just got all four of my days!

Just one other tidbit re: resort dining. Some may have already assumed this, but the plan is to follow the GF reopening model for all other Disney Resort hotel dining. Just like how GF will keep its limited dining offerings until the hotel-side opens (then signatures and other restaurants should reopen), each Deluxe Resort will only operate with what’s been already been announced for the DVC side openings until the hotel-sides come online. So initial resort reopening period for CR/BLT goes until about 7/9 then CG and Chef Mickey’s (similar style to Topolino’s) should reopen around 7/10. Likewise, when Poly reopens on 8/12, ‘Ohana should come back. There still could be some limited offerings and not everything could come back, but that’s when you’d start to see the expansion of dining offerings. In other words, the phrase “initial reopening period” isn’t universally defined as one set of dates. The “initial reopening period” for the parks will be different than the period for the resorts and each resort will even have a different “initial reopening period.”

Also.

RIP grand Floridian walkway.

At least for a little while longer.

My understanding is that the plan is to still continue construction with the goal of having it available to guests on or near the hotel’s official reopening. Again, that project has been delayed numerous times and has been progressing at a snail’s pace even before any of this, so who knows but that’s the current plan as far as I know.

It looks like there’s an issue with the actual check-out. Sorry, everybody!

Anyone able to check out now that the Park Pass system is live?

Yes. I have 4 day tickets staying off site and I got into the system with no waiting. All days were green and I made my selections for my parks and days and was done in less than 5 minutes. I looked at MDE to double check that my selections really went through and they did. I feel grateful that it went so smoothly after hearing some of the horror stories from Monday.

 

[Mfowler7828]

Yeah new park system was a breeze, had a image of space mountain with a rocket going around for about two mins telling me to please wait as I was in a waiting room. Then got in and selected parks.

It appears to be live a it looks like the 3 bucket theory is also true.

I just bought 5 - 10 day tickets for our 10 day reservation at 6 am. We will upgrade to AP maybe once we get there, but.. it will only let me book 4 days. I tried leaving and signing out, but it still doesn't let me book more than 4 days.

Yeah, which is good in some ways but also can understand passholders upset if a day is full for the passholder allotment but not for the dialy ticket allotment and they can't book but someone with "just" a daily ticket can book

I wonder if they will ever meet them. Like if even day of thee are still "daily ticket slots" left but no "passholder slots" seems reasonable to let passholders use one of those other slots but maybe easier to just keep always separate

Did you actually receive your tickets that you bought this morning? I received an email that says

Your Order Is Being Processed
You will soon receive an email to inform you of the status of your order, once processing has been completed.

It would seem fair to let the buckets merge at something like 7 days out but I would think that is probably beyond the capabilities of Disney IT.

I picked who the tickets belonged to when I purchased and as soon as it said thank you and all the balloons came up, I went to plans and they were attached to the people I picked. I wonder why your's say that.

Have you just been using the buy park tickets link? I can't even get past the reopening statement page. When I click on tickets it takes me to the know before you go guide. How are you even getting to checkout? Or it is disabled completely now?

 

[digiMom]

Where are you guys "buying" tickets? All I'm seeing is the "Know Before You Go - Return to the World of Magic" page...

I used the link that someone posted the page before this one.

 

[digiMom]

TY! I have them in my cart. Has anyone actually received them yet, or are they still processing?

 

[Snowysmom]

Thanks for the link. All set now and all parks booked. Yay!

That is what I was JUST going to say.

So Poly for boat transport?

As far as i know boat transportation from the resorts won't be offered initially. Only bus, monorail and ferry
