For DVC members, what is the latest date that someone has been cancelled so far?

My 11/27 reservation is still holding. I've checked at least 5 times today with full expectation that it would be cancelled. So far ... still holding ... ?!?

Thank you. The latest date I have from someone posting is Nov. 1st. There has to be a DVC cancellation after that by now. If anyone has a DVC date which Disney cancelled between now and the end of the month, please post!

ETA: Found this in the Speculation Superthread. First page has been updated. If anyone has a DVC cancellation later than 11/15/20, please post!

I didn’t even get an email. I had a DVC reservation for Nov 13-15, and it just disappeared off of my dashboard. Oh well.

They are currently in the process of canceling all reservations through the end of the year.

I just called and was canceled for The Grand (not DCV) December 6–9. CM said everyone with reservations in December will be getting emails this week. They are not extending into January, or into 2021 yet. Are not moving forward month to month like we did for the most of any 2020. Just cancel and refund any deposit you may have. May have some special for guests that had to cancel in 2020, she did not know. She said they should have your history on file when you call again with your old reservation number, in case they do something with rates or some happy deal for folks that rode this ridiculous roller coaster for the better part of a year. Let’s hope so. I’m keeping my park tickets that expire 1/22 nice and safe like the hot commodity they are.
good luck everyone. No, I’m not going to wdw. I can ride this one out.

Checking back in to see if Disneyland is refunding or extending the tickets that expire 12/31/20 or if they’re still pulling the “apply it to a ticket in the future at a ticket booth in person” crap?

Same crap, although someone posted in the speculation thread today that their's have been mysteriously extended. Hoping it's a sign of things to come.

Hoping that we get an official announcement about the regular multi-day tickets being extended. Then I will post that news here.

From the Speculation Superthread (HT: @KPeterso ):

Official email sent to DVC Members:

Dear DVC Member, We have more great news to share with you from Disney Vacation Club. Today we’re excited to announce that The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will reopen beginning December 6. This is yet another positive step forward – and our Cast couldn’t be happier to welcome you back home! Just as we have done at Disney vacation destinations around the world, we are responsibly and thoughtfully implementing new health and safety measures as we re-open. Our gradual approach considers the guidance of government and local health authorities, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as that of the U.S. Travel Association and Disney’s team of health and safety professionals. This deliberate approach emphasizes a combination of measures such as: Phased Reopening: During this initial phase, only the Disney Vacation Club Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will be open. The rest of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will remain closed. Health & Wellness: A range of health and safety measures, such as physical distancing, face coverings and increased hand sanitizer stations have been implemented throughout the property. Cleaning & Disinfecting: We’ve updated our procedures for cleaning and disinfecting, with a special emphasis on common areas such as lobbies, elevators and restrooms. And, before your arrival, every room will receive increased cleaning. Cast Member Training & Workplace Safety: Safety starts with our Cast, and we’ve adopted a number of new policies and practices for Cast Members at work, with health screenings, new training, and workplace safety procedure. During the initial reopening period, most dining, amenities, activities and services will be modified, limited in capacity or unavailable based on physical distancing and health guidelines. In addition, some areas and offerings will remain temporarily closed or unavailable. While Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park currently remain closed, Downtown Disney District has begun a phased reopening and offers a variety of shopping and dining experiences, including the expansion onto Buena Vista Street beginning November 19. Members with upcoming reservations will receive additional information on what to expect at The Villas during their stay soon. We encourage you to use the Disney Vacation Club website for general information or the Member Online Booking Tool to book or modify a Disney Vacation Club Resort reservation. Details about reopening plans and temporary adjustments to Disney Vacation Club policies are available on the Disney Vacation Club website. While the new Disney experience may seem a little different, a magical and memorable visit awaits you and your family at The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. We look forward to welcoming you back home very soon! Sincerely, Disney Vacation Club

I called WDTC are they are not offering any reservations as placeholders for 2021. The only option is a full refund.
