Resort Change by Disney

[mustachspot]

If someone at All Stars is upgraded to a Deluxe, good for them. As long as I have a room, it's all good.

Did you just get this e-mail also?

Yep, about 3:45

I will say that is a great argument. If your resort hasn't been announced to open...why is Disney letting everyone with a resort reservation make park reservations on Monday. That makes zero sense.
Now I could see the error message pop up as you log on Monday morning...."It looks like your resort won't be open on your dates. See your options below..."
I hope we don't have to deal with the resort nonsense BEFORE making park reservations. That will very much stress me out!

You must have a resort reservation and valid theme park admission to make park reservations. It will be awful for people to have to cancel if they have to pay to be moved. I know for some their original reservations were for July and August and not rescheduled trips. But, for many these Summer trips are from having to reschedule earlier due to Covid-19. Not Disney's fault at all. They are losing so much money right now and the past several months. They just want to make it safer and must control crowds somehow. I'm sorry it is at the expense of people who stay offsite or at resorts that may not be open.

Yes, great for them! Pixie dust.

I keep checking MDE to see if there is a change to my room. Just hoping they either open Pop or move me with no price increase

We are reserved at Pop. I just received an email from our TA stating that as long as we keep the same dates, we will be moved and no additional charge. She also stated that she will email us Monday to let us know of our new resort reservation.

So it sounds like they are reaching out to TAs. I hope they reach out to the rest of us soon.

You would think they would reach out to the people who booked directly through Disney first, but none of this seems to be making sense.

TAs typically have a Disney person that works with them and do get info sometimes ahead of the mass emails Disney will send.

But, it does sound like Monday is when people will begin finding out where they will be moved if keeping dates...some guests may end up doing parks before finding it out too.

Monday is going to be nuts and exciting and crazy

It is like FastPasses... but so much more intense!

Moved to Poly as well. TA booked trip. Aug 28-Sept 6. my new theory (haven't called) is that SAB either won't be open or only open for NBA players. Rather than handle the constant complaints with either situation, Disney is proactively moving us to similar room categories. Minor upgrade in their eyes.

 

[aweehughes]

If they courtesy upgrade people wouldn't that mean that everyone would get one?..
Wouldn't people be upset if someone staying at All Stars, gets a room at a higher price hotel and you dont get a discount or upgrade?

Yes, people are upsrt abour the upgrades. However, they only apply to unmodified reservations that are already booked. You can’t book ASMo on xyz with the expectation of an “upgrade”. For many families, including my own, being moved to some DVC resorts would be a downgrade.
We booked for the Skyliner and would be disappointed to be at a monorail or bus resort.

Interesting theory. That would possibly open up BC for Mod/Value “upgrades/moves” because of a reduced amenity.

Based on the callbacks for restaurant CMs: https://www.wdwinfo.com/news-storie...s-receiving-recall-notices-to-return-to-work/ it looks like they are planning at least to open Pop for values, but nothing for moderates yet (well they are calling back some CMs to CSR, but only to restaurants in GDT, which is where the NBA will be and probably for the longest).

I’ve seen rumors floating around that Pop is for NBA staff, no idea if there’s any truth to that. Maybe that explains the lack of housekeeping recall though.

Just to clarify, the only reason they can leave Jambo closed legally is because they opened Kidani which is part of the same DVC resort. All others had to be opened, so they could not consolidate.

Don’t want to derail the thread with DVC...point is that Disney has decided to not open their own hotels and use the open DVC rooms...which they are entitled to use...in lieu of canceling out cash guests who still want to come,

It will be interesting as to what the plan is starting with guests staying once parks open.

I think that Animal Kiingdom Lodge will be the first to open due to DVC Jambo House.

POP CMs are not going to the resort they are being moved to help with the resorts NBA is at. I've spoken to 3 POP Cms. Also you'll see only POP wait staff were called, not house keeping not front desk CMs or maintenance.
