Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[gottalovepluto]

No, I didn't get an amount. She said she processed it for me and that I would be contacted likely in a few weeks when the parks open with the amount. So it might just be semantics what I experienced versus others. (I didn't want to jump in and tell her that I didn't think the parks were actually going to open...)

Wonder if they will send out a confirmation notice to everyone who has requested a refund? Like “Your refund is $XX. Click here to process it or click here if you have decided to extend your AP instead.” Giving people a final chance to opt out of cash...

I can’t recall whether WDW is having MNSSP. But rumors are coming out HHN at UO is a no go.

Sounds to me like HHN is still in the plans. According to The poster, Legacy over there, there will be no shows, which seemed obvious

That would be nice if their email system actually worked. So many of us don't get the emails we should be getting.

I just hope we can 100% return same day to our original park. We have 3 MK days booked and we are staying at CR. We are really hoping to spend morning till about 1 pm then heading to swim or resort relaxation. Then heading back to the park for a dinner reservation. End of July

Pretty sure that has already been confirmed. You can exit and renter if you have a park reservation.

 

[Krandor]

Yep. That’s what I’m saying. If you exit and plan to return to the same park later, then you just exit as normal. If you want to park hop to a park with available capacity, you scan your magic band when you exit the original park and essentially give up your reservation for the first park but then you are allowed to make a reservation for a park with available capacity. Seems like this could all be done fairly easily with the systems they have in place.

Honestly sounds too complicated fort he average person and making them decide at the point they leave a park seems the wrong time. What if they got to hotel and then decide they want to go to another park? If they are going to do multiple reservations on a single day best to just do it all in MDE.

Still don't expect any king of hopping for several months and we'll see what they come up with then/

Governor DeSantis about to update on covid in Florida (CNN carrying it once it starts)
Broward now announcing it too will close beaches over the July 4th weekend along with Miami/Dade

Gosh I hope vero beach resort beach doesnt close. I know it's still far from Broward and miami. We are going there july 4 weekend. If beach is closed pool will be super busy and probably at capacity.

Didn’t suggest it was simple but it’s certainly a viable option if you know you are leaving a park for the day and would like to go to EPCOT for the evening.

If you are totally winging it, then no, probably not gonna work for you.

You'd need a system a lot more flexible then that. What is the point of using the MB to "clock out" then still ahving to go into MDE to reserve the new park? Just put it all in MDE. No need to require the choice when leaving the park.

Has there been a date announced when you can book resorts in 2020 again? We currently have AP reservations for September but nowhere to stay at the moment.

Nope, just “later this summer”

 

[Llama mama]

Once the parks reopen, what time do you think the last dinner reservations will be? 15 minutes before posted park closing time? They will probably need more time every night to perform more cleaning.

She did say that I was going to get some kind of email, so maybe that's it.

you could always book Swan or Dolphin currently.

 

[gottalovepluto]

Managed to watch the Cast video without crying. (But it wasn’t easy!!)

Quite the undertaking putting that together

 

[hereforthechurros]

DVC is still renting points as well. But that comes with its own issues during all of this.

 

[andyman8]

Omg now im the one crying, my DD just sent me pics of her trying on her costume again after 3 months . She goes in tomorrow

Tell her good luck from all of us! I’m so excited for her (and you)! This made me smile!

Pure speculation, I wonder if they make it less complicated from a ticketing perspective and wait to bring hopping back until 2021. They’re selling 2021 hoppers right? I can’t remember if hopping was one of the “later this year” type of dates given.

Park Hopping is “temporarily unavailable.”

EMH/FP+/all DDPs have been “temporarily suspended.”

New Disney Resort hotel reservation and new ticket sales are “temporarily paused.”

You can buy it for 2021. It was an option this morning. I didn't bother. I just got base tickets since I am not sure if we will upgrade them to park hopper, if it is running, or AP depending on how the world is.

 

[Lewisc]

Some posters are overthinking this. Park capacity isn't like capacity on a plane or ship or even movie theater.
Assume Disney has capacity of 20000. It probably not the end of the world if one day hoppers pushes it to 22000. Disney has to be concerned with averages. I can see Disney allowing guest to visit EPCOT after 4, at least those with dinner ADRs, before allowing full hopping.
