Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

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

Is that considered "to go" though? Might be able to get around it then, vs like Oga's which has seating and is largely served in house (though you can get stuf to go)

Maybe theres going to be no seating and its just used as a walk up to purchase alcohol to have as you walk around the park?

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

Shared this info on the DL community board. We are all wondering how things could potentially look whenever DL opens..

I know it is like a roller coaster. One day I feel good about my trip July 21 then the next I get upset/nervous its not going to happen (and freak out because it is nonrefundable DVC rental!). Securing a passholder preview helped get back to the good side again.

I totally understand that feeling and our trip isn’t until September.

 

[chicagoshannon]

honestly if my trip was in the next 60 days I'd try for ADR's tomorrow whether or not I had them originally. I don't see Disney being able to differentiate with the way their IT runs.

It popped up as an alert if you go the the make dining reservations page

It’s at disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/reservation-window/advance-reservations/ as well

I just found a link that says online (apologies if already posted and I missed it!)
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/reservation-window/advance-reservations/
Eligible Guests with Dining and Experience Reservations Cancelled During Closure
Guests who had an active dining or experience reservation on or before September 2, 2020 that was cancelled as of May 28 due to the temporary closure of Walt Disney World Resort may—beginning on June 30—make a new reservation online up to 60 days in advance. Eligible Guests who are unable to make a reservation online may call (407) 939-6690 or (800) 800-9800 for Disney Vacation Club Members.

Edited, 2 pages in the time I made this post, dang this thread sometimes moves fast!

That's exactly what I was thinking. Their IT is so bad that I don't know how they would even know that we had ours canceled. I am going to be prepared to call in just in case the system doesn't recognize that we made ours at the VERY last minute and then they got canceled the next day. If I can do it online, great! If it bumps me out, at least I'll already be in the 3 hour hold queue.

I see it!

 

[StevieB81]

I see this exact wording on the website minus the online part. Can you direct me to where you saw this?

Dining reservation page

 

[andyman8]

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

I'm always just very cautious to haha. I don't want someone to build their plans around a rumor posted on here, because as we all know, anything can happen.

I’m wondering how they will pull it off. Going to be interesting, how they earmark accounts that had ressies cancelled.

 

[Dulcee]

Are we assuming that restaurants in the park will only be open when the park opens, i.e. no pre park opening reservations?

 

[Rxdr2013]

hey... I finally got an email this time. About the dining for tomorrow. So it is not completely broken!

 

[tinkerhon]

is the one here closing too? that would be a shame, I was able to see 2 acts fron the show and it looked stunning

I requested a refund last month for our show that was supposed to be mid July - per the return email that I received, they were not expected to open "Drawn to Life" until 2021

 

[Krandor]

That is possible. Close all indoor seating and call it "to go".

 

[Dulcee]

Just got this

 

[Leigh L]

Just got an email informing me that since I had dining canceled, can book tomorrow.

"Since you had a dining reservation that was previously cancelled, as we promised in earlier communications, we are offering you the opportunity to make a new reservation beginning on June 30, before reservations open to other Guests on DisneyWorld.com. You can make reservations for select Walt Disney World dining locations or experiences up to 60 days in advance of your arrival."

I will be the crazy person setting my alarm for 3:45am, calling in AND having multiple windows open

If it bumps me out, at least I'll already be in the 3 hour hold queue.

For example I had Droid Depot reservations. So does that mean I can then make any reservations I want? Seems way to complicated. I think we're like 75ish days out so can't make them tomorrow but when I hit 60 I'll be trying for DD and also a couple of dining things that we have since decided we want. Might also try tomorrow online just to see.
