This is interesting. We had a trip for July we moved to December and Disney obviously cancelled our dining reservations for July when they cancelled everyone else. When numbers looked better we kept our December reservation and also added a new one in August that never had any dining associated with it. I wonder if we are eligible to book dining reservations for our August trip tomorrow?

I’ve never called for Dining reservations. What is the number? What time does that open?

 

[Arguetafamily]

Wait does this include themepark restaurants??

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

So what if you cancelled them yourself because you knew WDW wouldn’t be open? Am I SOL?!?

 

[Dentam]

Not everyone can do that, particularly DVC & annual passholders.

Believe me I know... I'm even worse off as the owner of a DVC rental for this Labor Day week. No money back for me and no ability to buy park tickets to in turn reserve park time. Not that I want to go, but my only hope is that someone will re-rent it on David's site at this point.

I would still go to shows, but the closest theater to me is an hour away. I also couldn’t get tickets to Hamilton.

Off topic entirely (sorry, Ryan!) but if you have not watched the clip the Jimmy Fallon show posted this week of the OBC singing Helpless with The Roots be sure you check it out! It is so fun and made my weekend!

Dining ressies tomorrow!

Dumb question, was this an email? I haven't received any since they cancelled my ADR for Ohana on May 28th ☹

It’s under the “know before you go” section on the site!

Has this part been mentioned yet?

ETA: the 2nd tweet about hotel guests is what I was referencing!

This is why you can’t keep closed and delay openings to even big companies and expect everything is fine because they have a lot of money. Broadway is going to get hit big time when they reopen in January. The popular shows like Wicked will survive, but some of the best shows on Broadway will shut their doors.

I know. It's very sad here in NYC. So many actors, crew, musicians, etc., etc., etc., out of work.

We have tickets for The Music Man (Hugh Jackman--how could I resist?) for November. We bought the tix last November. I just got notified a couple of days ago that they're still going to produce the show, but it'll be next year. My November 2020 tickets are now tickets for June 2021.

Hmmm, the first sentence relates to the paragraph above, which is guests before July 10. Not clear what those with canceled ADRs are supposed to do, call or online.

the queue for RotR starts at the tunnel entrance to the land, from there it does the queue inside and then breaks off and goes into the overflow of Muppets queue and backstage, the whole line is estimated to be an hour and a half. The CM are expecting the line will be full.
For MFSR it's the regular overflow to TSLand and then backstage gate by Falcon
ABC commissary won't be open because it will be CM break room to give them more space
No word on Oga
Relaxation area at SWGE will be at right before the marketplace restrooms, outdoor place, they are putting some umbrellas and CM will be manning them to make sure people put their masks back on
They are still trying to get the marketplace stores to open but have to see what they can do with capacity
Some areas of the RotR queue will have plexiglass to separate people in the more confined queue
If people ask why they are wearing masks they can answer it's because of an intergalactic virus being spread around from planet to planet
for MFSR : no one stops at preshow but there are spots on the sides if you want to see the pre show.
If you are CM your comp tickets will work you just have to link them on MDE, also check with your coordinator if you have comp tickets that expired in June, they may be able to extend those through Sept. Your MEP will be blocked out for now
CM preview opens July 1st and it looks like RotR will not be open for CM preview

Thanks @yulilin3 for this and your other SWGE updates! Appreciated!

My hotel reservations are cancelled but I had dining reservations cancelled for me. I'll be going to Universal next week but would like to head to a WDW resort for a meal while I'm there!

We had reservations that were canceled by Disney from September 14th-18th. Are we just SOL as far as trying to rebook those since it says up September 2nd?

YES! I watched it multiple times and shared it. My social media friends are probably tired of my Hamilton fangirling. LOL

If they Passholders a warning it likely would’ve been gone in a few minutes and possible site crashes. The surprise helps save that.

I would like to think of it as a little reward for the dedicated members here...

 

[LSUmiss]

I’ve never called for Dining reservations. What is the number? What time does that open?

It used to be 407-wdw-dine
I am wondering about time too.

Character Dining will not be offered during the initial reopening, with the exception of modified Character Dining experiences at Garden Grill Restaurant and Topolino's Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera

Is this new? Or just new to me? Any confirmation of hours of operation for in park restaurants?
