Summer 2020 Trips - If WDW Is Open, We're Going! *Update: WDW Open July 11*

Those of you that have selected your Fast Passes recently.....have you noticed a difference between the website vs. the app?

I think the app is quicker. That’s just been my experience...

Well May trip is a no-go and while it's disappointing it didn't really come as a shock. Now we cross fingers for our June 6-13 stay at POR and Monday I make FP's for our July trip

Anyone with a cancelled late May trip reschedule for later in the summer?

We had a mid-May trip that is now mid-August. Starting to feel like maybe it'll be a go! I've been making ADRs and last week we changed the first leg of our trip from ASMo to WL.
Either way, it feels nice to do something kinda normal

I had one from MDW that I moved to July 23-28th. We have APs that expire in May, and a possible June 1 opening will put the next expiration days at July 31.

Yup I feel you. I loved the way our days and FP's were for Memorial weekend. Not loving June so much and I only have plans for the first 2 days of July even though I make FP's Monday but hoping it works out as good as if not better than May! We miss you in July by a couple days

Some good news! Shanghai Disneyland will be opening on May 11th!

Only 6 days notices before park opening - so something to keep in mind for what we may see at WDW. Either way, it's always good news when we hear that a Disney park will be open in the world.

No direct actual yes/no, but this is a real flavor of what to expect upon WDW opening.

I wonder what the reservation system would look like here at WDW for people with resort and ticket packages.

I'm trying not to venture into the realm of speculation & what-ifs, but I am fairly certain that if you have a resort reservation, you will be allowed entry into the parks. If you have a park hopper & AP with that resort reservation, I will assume it's all 4 parks. Outside of that, if WDW does a reservation system, it will be off-property guests & locals who need to make reservations.

IE - your resort reservation is you parks reservation.

I hope that’s the case. I have a resort reservation and 4 days at the parks but only a 2 day dated ticket. My other 2 days are using a military ticket.

On the call Chapek said himself that we can not compare WDW to the other parks, as their resorts & out-of-state visitors are so much higher than any of the other Disney theme parks. There are things in place for the Shanghai opening that wont be in place for WDW.

 

[e_yerger]

Well I'm walking away from the news today with a positive outlook on WDW. I have faith that in the next few weeks we will be hearing more and more from Disney about their plans domestically.

Well we will be trying to snag a day at DIsney in late June if they are open. Had a sailing trip planned in the British Virgin Islands and looks like their borders will be under strict lockdown long past our trip date. So instead we are going to come down and see family in Florida and will sneak off with the kids for a park day/one night/Chef mickey and Disney Springs the second day trip. If MK is open we will be there.

I just read something that said the Disney site has also updated some information regarding reopening (no dates). I’m off to research

Not anything new, but an update is an update!

With today’s news that they are not taking any new reservations prior to July 1, I decided to go ahead and book a July backup trip checking in 7/17 (for my June 7th trip that I’m believing won’t happen). I got all the ADR’s I wanted down to the minute. That much availability at just over two months out would have seemed insane a year ago.

To reference the news they mentioned:
Disney is no longer allowing guests to book or modify trips prior to July 1st (previously June 1st).

Well our June trip isn't happening (6/6 arrival) so now we move on to our "originally" scheduled summer trip, July 3-9th!
