DLR REOPENING SUPERTHREAD (DL & DCA TBA; VGC POSTPONED; DTD OPENED 7/09/20 & BVS 11/19/20): KEEP CHECKING FIRST PAGE FOR OFFICIAL DLR UPDATES!

[theluckyrabbit]

Flexpass blocked out for July 17 -

Didn't someone just post in the Flexpass Superthread that the 17th was open for reservations? That was just under an hour ago!
ETA: Someone posted in the Speculation thread that the app was showing a link to buy new tickets this morning, not the "park closed" message. But when you clicked on the link, the closure message came up. Sounds like IT at work...

Just want to say a big Thanks to @theluckyrabbit for keeping watch on all of the Disneyland threads - things are very busy between the spec thread and this Official thread, plus other threads, and all of the work is appreciated! It is very nice to be able to come to one thread for all of the up to date information,

 

[gottalovepluto]

we already tried moving to the GCH for those dates and they are full so its PPH all the way... a shame

yikes! I would keep calling every once in a while, maybe something will open. As more data comes out on what won't be open people will keep cancelling imho.

Also- do you see availability on the website? maybe that could be a way to keep an eye on something opening.

I was thinking about this when I went to bed last night. I think that is excellent advice! Doesn't hurt to keep checking!

thanks! Staying positive that this clearly means the universe wants us to spend every waking moment in the parks!

Has there been any update on APs? We are from NorCal and on the payment plan with our passes expiring in December. My concern is 2 fold, first it looks like there is going to be a reservation system so even though we have Signature passes we will not be able to go days we want unless we are able to get a reservation. 2nd I have fairly bad asthma and am concerned about visiting the park until a vaccine is out. Is there anyway to just cancel our APs at this point and renew them next year sometime?

Nothing known beyond you can get a refund or an extension for the closure period. There is no cancel for the rest of the AP’s duration for health reasons option at this time. When we know more @theluckyrabbit will post the info on the first page

 

[audrey2580]

meant to post in the speculation thread - sorry

 

[crystal1313]

Me too! I never understood why they didn’t have certain queues for those entering for the first time and need their photos taken vs people re-entering...

Me either!

And we know that MANY guests had no idea you needed to get a boarding group for ROTR when it opened, so I would imagine a lot of people won't realize you need reservations to enter the park too.

Honestly, they should probably stop them at security. Kind of like getting through security at the airport where you have to show you have a ticket. Of course, some may just be visiting Downtown Disney. At least put up signs at security and at the parking garages/lots and have security ask if they have ticket reservations. That way people will know before they line up at the gates.

From that article...
"Expansion of Mobile Order through the Disneyland app, Apple pay and more"

I can only hope that "expansion of mobile order" includes the ability to pay for mobile orders with gift cards.

They're going to add it to WDW. See this article:

We did have one member (@hiroMYhero) who reported here that they received a compassionate cancellation of pass after requesting it for health reasons. This is definitely on a case-by-case basis and there is no guarantee the same will happen if you call.

Hallelujah!

WDW is canceling APs for guests who submit a request by phone.

Our DL Flex APs were canceled after a total of 2 phone calls and a total of 2 cordial emails - 1 was to Ken Potrock, President of DL. It was his office who granted the ‘goodwill cancellation’ of our APs.

Calling the AP line isn’t helpful but you’ll be able to note in subsequent correspondence that you spoke to an AP phone CM and an AP Leader who each read from a script regarding the AP refund and extension options.

See here: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/travel-information/ -- for the information for calling for AP extensions or partial refunds. Start there, then move up the chain if you don't find a solution that works for you.

FYI to premier passholders, my pass just updated in MDE (no update on the Disneyland app yet). It added 125 days, which is long Disneyland will have been closed for. I did my premier pass upgrade at a Disneyland ticket booth for reference.

I just checked and my Premier Pass has also updated. Mine now shows a 7/26 end date (was supposed to expire late March). I kind of think the end date calculation should have been from the date the last park opened (DL on 7/17) since this is a bi-coastal AP and should have access to both the coasts the full number of days. Either way, I highly doubt we will be going the first 10 days DL is open and we are most likely cancelling WDW in September. I just hope I can renew to the DL only AP (hoping Sig+ but not sure based on the website).

 

[mlggator22]

hmm, mine have not updated yet.
