No, doesn't work that way.
Oh, excellent -- thanks!!!
WHen I looked at the thread about all the churning, (which I never really understood very well) there were lots of folks who got the Target GCs, then turned them over several times
Don't let some posters comments upset you as there are some posters who love toregularly. One of the best things about this forum format is the ability to ignore specific posters.
YES. My mantra, as it shows in my signature. It doesn't matter what works for me, it's not going to work for everyone. It is why when someone asks a question, I always try to answer exactly what they are asking not what I think they should do. No way there is a one size fits all.
This was the case when they only had lunch and dinner but they do not do this anymore. Morning is shut down to all and they have a welcoming "show" then let in the first with Breakfast ADRs. You need to book an ADR now.
AND POOR POOR JENNY ....
I'm afraid the expectations are too great and poor Jenny nor her co-workers are going to be able to give callers the answers they want.
There are two things in play:
- CMs who do not know anything about what WILL happen. Their knowledge is based on what IS happening, how to help with issues related to. This is the majority unless they have hands on involvement with the "project."
- CMs who may have knowledge of what will be happening and they have no permission to share that.
And sadly the training that instills "never say I don't know" .......... so where does that leave them?
Believe when there is a formal announcement, knowing there is a very small chance of change.
Believe when it is up, operating, happening in 3D.
Nothing else is fact. George and his people are not going to "leak" facts.
RoL has been reported from multiple sources, some with direct contact with RoL employees that it is experiencing technical difficulties. Honestly there is no way for Disney to know when they will have all of it resolved since it's not planned issues. I think they are making no announcements because they are working at it hard and hoping all will be resolved to open on time .... but in the meantime they don't want to make folks mad by letting them book FP+ or Dining Packages, to only have to cancel them. Best bet is say nothing and allow nothing until SURE it's good to go. Can you imagine the bad PR if that happened or even if the show went on, but the glitches were there and folks complain the show was a disaster.
There is so much new coming along the next couple of months they are really in a pickle. BUT much is due to overruns so it's crunched all together. And is STINKS for folks traveling during this time. DS heads down tomorrow and after seeing today's bag check lines at noon ........ plans on no bag and not riding much. We go down in two weeks for the Star Wars races and chose to stay at DS and enjoy DS ... maybe zero park time. We go down in May for an event at the "dark side" and are actually thinking about skipping Disney due to the chaos. We already cancelled our 10 day May trip to avoid it. LUCKY we have those choices, feel so bad for those with big trips planned....
As a comparison (and I know dining not involved):
- 7DMT had an official announcement of official opening on May 2.
- Official opening May 28.
- 26 days notice.
- FP+ could be booked for May 28th on after the announcement.
Disney doesn't always give huge lead way .... and def not until all the glitches are worked. SO that means the LOUNGERS that are traveling next couple months are probably going to be maxed out crazy until official word comes out to the public (and that doesn't mean returned phone calls).
Best bet is all the tiny hints on the HUB etc to try and figure out what is happening operations wise.
I would love to see a LOUNGE for LOUNGERS with drinks involved at the AK.It's the least Disney could do for all the mis-information and angst.
Please do!!! Love your posts!!!
That is awesome, I would even go to the AK just for that on my April trip! if timing worked.
It could be on one of the FT patios ...
Come Celebrate the Non-Dining Package for the Non-Preview event for the Rumors of Light!!
With a wonderful view of the RoL water and empty seating .... might even include a sneak preview of the the work being done on the technical difficulties. We could wave to them and maybe they would wave back.
We bring LOTS and LOTS of glow sticks that we can wear and wave through the air to create our own light show!!
Kids could run with them in the air and we could all guess at what images they are making. Better yet bring lots of water misters and we spray them as the kids run through, it will be stunning ... or better than nothing.
We need some clear cups with fancy drinks and glow cubes so the show will extend to the "water" in our cups. Like a front row preferred seat.
Folks can buy FT to eat and pretend that it's a dining package but costs less than because obviously our view is the backside of water and should be discounted.
I bet we could pull this off faster than Disney could!
Wait, no dates or times announced?! Deja vu....That is awesome, I would even go to the AK just for that on my April trip! if timing worked.

PS ~ NO ADR, FP+ or CC Guarantee needed, just a sense of humor.

If there were any rumors of this occurring on Friday April 29th I'd probably add a day just to be there.

(First trip using them.) This trip is ON!
Love the purple bands! There may or may not have been screaming when we saw the mail lady putting the magic band box in our mailbox! 
We're just a little excited.
