...also just a little lower.

"Additionally, Disney Vacation Club properties at Walt Disney World and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will begin to reopen to Members and Guests on June 22. "

Yes- I just rebooked a trip for August, literally moments ago (when the message I screenshotted popped up on the screen). One minute later I was unable to alter it (apparently because new reservations are being blocked. Talk about timing.

I wonder if WDW is going to continue with the once a week cancellation dump or if they will do them all.

They may do it slowly at least to not overwhelm their systems.

 

[MissGina5]

Did they mention anything about disinfecting protocols on rides etc?

The system is overwhelmed. Bookings are currently unavailable.

They've closed the ability to book new reservations until they've solidified their new system.

Exactly, I’m sure there are tons of people on the phones and online right now canceling, and changing their reservations.

They are NOT wiping down attraction vehicles between runs/guests at Shanghai. Neither WDW nor Universal have said anything about cleaning attraction vehicles between guests. I just don't think it's always feasible. Also, apparently the CDC has recently said that the risk of infections from surfaces is less than they previously believed.

Yeah that CDC change was talked about briefly in the meeting. Someone asked about menus and said if you sanitize and out menus away for a few days why can’t you re-use vs. throwing away single use menus.

I hope they clarify FP booking....or lack of it. If it's all DAY OF, with no advanced booking, that will really put a crimp in everyone's vacation.

I'd be fine with same day only FP's....much better than going to virtual queues in my opinion. I'd just refresh like a madman!!

Could they, potentially, use them to staff Food & Wine booths or do we think it’s not happening this year?
