Official October 2020 Thread!

There has been nothing released from Disney about FP+ changing or transitioning to Virtual Queues. They have said it was cancelled to use the FP line space for additional social distancing of lines.

Okay. But that doesn't mean they're NOT using VQs.

You’re right, but before the latest announcements there were changes on the MDE app about virtual “queues”, not specific to ROTR, so there is speculation that they will be expanding the use of them to other attractions.

It will be interesting to see where this all lands by October...

I know but many people on various threads are saying a Virtual Queue is happening and spreading false information so it is important people know only what is official

Agreed, that’s why I used the words assumption and speculation in my posts. Hopefully when Disney releases more details about the theme park reservation system they will also share the plan for attractions.

Welcome! You will find this isn't a very active thread most times. A lot of us are anxious or cautiously optimistic about what the experience will be in October.

OK, so they are allowing cancellations without charge up until 10/3/20. That seems to suggest they think that they'll be back to normal operations by that date, since many of us would cancel if we couldn't swim, etc. Of course, everything could still change if a second wave shuts the country down again...which I think 3/4 of the physicians and medical professionals I know expect and the other 1/4 are being naively optimistic. Still, it's nice to imagine our trips might happen as expected.

I’m hoping for normal operations but still with lower capacity... that’s not too much to ask for, is it?

We are booked at Pop 10/5-10/8. This trip was planned mainly for SWGE and also so my MIL could see Pandora. Our reservations for Droid Depot and Savis were cancelled but I am waiting to see if they will be available. I’m disappointed that MIL won’t be able to see Pandora at night with a 6pm closing but that is not a deal breaker necessarily. So much is still up in the air that I just can’t be excited about this trip and that is sad.

Going Oct 10-17 at POFQ. Have the Halloween Party Oct 12

 

[MaxsDad]

October 2nd-7th at Poly. Honestly the only reason we are still going is because we rented non-refundable DVC points.

 

[TomorrowlandKD]

October 22-30 Beach Club Villas here!

Got tickets for Halloween Party during our stay as well.

Remaining optimistic!!

 

[Alyssaw1]

I am booked for 10/8-10/15 - Very optimistic we will be able to go, had multiple trips cancelled this year Hopeful for some Disney Magic it will be able to happen!

 

[TeresaNJ]

Oct 14-17 SSR, Oct 17-24 OKW! Haven't bought MNSSHP tickets yet, as waiting to hear more as to if they are still on. Fingers crossed they are, as well as the F&W Festival!

 

[R&RsMom]

Oct 16-21 at CSR for my three-generation party of 7. Half of us bought tickets before they suspended sales. (My daughter’s a nurse and was waiting to see what hospital travel quarantine requirements would be, so her family has no tickets yet.) We don’t do parades, character meets, or parties. In addition, we bought plane tickets outside any current fee waiver periods; changing will cost us $1400 in fees as it stands now. So, we will go unless there’s an outbreak in October or we can‘t get park ressies for all of us.

 

[TXMemaw]

We'll be at BWV Oct 13-15 and then at BLT from Oct 15-20. We'll be spending a few days at Vero Beach before heading to WDW. Friends are meeting us for the BLT part of our trip. We're really hoping that there will be some type of F&W Festival but we're okay if there's not. We're also planning on the Halloween party for Oct 18 but had not purchased tickets yet before they stopped selling them.

 

[The Hendies]

October 5 - 11 at Orange Lake Resort (Our condo)
October 11 - 14 on Disney property

Luckily bought 6 day passes just days prior to the announcement that they will not sell any additional tickets for now! Whew!

 

[bsjs0708]

Oct 3-10. Had a trip planned on April and,like everyone else had to reschedule. Our son is a Marine and obviously has VERY select dates when he can go. Theres going to be 9 of us, 3 generations and the grandkids have really looked forward to this...all we can do is hope for the best.

 

[Mrs.Reese]

First it was supposed to be March. Then it was supposed to be June. Now it's Oct 1-6 at CBR!!! Hopefully it will be without masks by then.
