Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[rteetz]

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?

This is new

Yay, I can book 2 character meals now.
Gotta get my list done for tomorrow.

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

Yeah I see a lot of complaint in Facebook groups about not getting an email or getting the email but noticing too late, etc

And part of me wants to say "you have to know by now for any passholder preview you can't wait for an email, you have to be stalking message boards and Twitter and stuff"

There *may* be a third coming too. I know the staff has been called back but not sure if it's still happening/when.

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 for now since we're more than 60 days out. I guess they'd open it up for 60 days after that initial day.

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.

I agree. And the paragraph just below “Reservations for All Guests” says online reservations for all Guests will open at a later date.

So if you connect the dots, and since they didn’t provide any phone numbers in the cancelled guests section, you could conclude that those with cancelled reservations will be able to book online tomorrow.

I posted on another board-
I was able to get an AP preview for June 9. I did not screenshot, it said I would get a confirmation email and I have not. It is not showing up on MDE.
I am holding on AP line, anyone else have this happen???

I thought Chef Mickey’s was all but confirmed as a family style modified experience? Not sure if that is your third or if I read something incorrectly.

I wouldn't say "all but confirmed," but Chef Mickey's is the third. They still haven't officially announced Contemporary's dining options when it reopens on 7/10.

As a hearing impaired person: thank everybody’s god. I would have tied up the line forever with the relay person

 

[jenjersnap]

Got it. There is a lot of assertive language in the Dis community.

I wouldn't say "all but confirmed," but Chef Mickey's is the third. They still haven't officially announced Contemporary's dining options when it reopens on 7/10.

 

[AmberMV]

So as of now there will be 1 character dining in a park (Epcot) and 2 character dining at deluxe resorts (Riv and Contemp)

Here’s hoping it’s *all* cancelled ADRs through May 28 and not just those cancelled specifically by Disney. Fingers crossed.

surorised baseline taphouse is Still there. Not sure how their food is 50% of their income.

 

[Mit88]

Its weird to me that they haven’t resumed construction over at RRA. I guess they want to make sure the rides intended to open for the 50th get back on track before worrying about attractions coming this year
