News Round Up 2020

How do people have tickets for 2021 already? Or do you all have annual passes?

I'd laugh myself silly if I got that email for my May 2021 trip!

They extended the expiration dates on tickets for those affected by the closure.

I see.

I hope that doesn't mean people in 2021 already booked but couldn't purchase tickets yet will be bumped...

I have a annual pass voucher - bought one before one of the price increases went into effect (I think it was actually two price increases ago).

I don't see how that would relate.

Yes I have tickets I bought back in 2016 before they went up and switched to dated ones. Man I wish I had MORE!!

 

[Farro]

I don't see how that would relate.

Just if people who get trips cancelled this year are allowed to rebook and if for some reason capacity restrictions still in place next year, I just hope people booked next year aren't bumped for people from this year.

I'm overthinking.

I doubt the capacity restrictions are happening a year from now.

Wait!!! I just got the email - they are crazy. I don't have theme park admission, just a resort reservation for May 2021! They must consider reservations valid them park admission.

Unfortunately, these new measures have required us to cancel any FastPass+ selections you may have made. In addition, upon reopening, Extra Magic Hours will be temporarily suspended. We recognize the inconvenience this poses and we’re deeply sorry.

‌However, because you have valid Theme Park admission, you will have access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We’ll be contacting you soon with details on this new system.

So I received the e-mail saying I will be one of the first to have access to the new system

I guess I qualified as I have a reservation (though it isn't until Sept 29th, 2021 (so almost 1.5 years away) and I have a not yet activated annual pass connected to my account

Obviously not near booking dining or anything but will be interesting to check out the new system what active

that’s nice...I have a reservation for Sept 9-16, 2020 and an AP eligible for renewal as well as a 4 day ticket in my acct and I have received nothing!

 

[Moliphino]

Ooh yay, I just got the email! I'm in.

 

[chicagoshannon]

Finally got the email. We have DVC + not yet activated Ap's for September.

 

[merry_nbright]

I haven’t gotten the email yet, have two annual passes on my account. What the crap?!

hopefully hes moving into phase 2. We're in phase 3 here in IL as of today which is equivalent to Florida's part one of phase 1. lol

We are moving so much faster than I thought we would!

seems like they are coming out staggered, seeing more people saying they have gotten them recently (also saw other people said they found their in their spam folder)

Hope you get something soon!
