Argh - so much for trying to get to Food and Wine next weekend

For the better probably

What are the chances they’ll refund my tickets? I would far prefer a refund to keeping them for later.

This is dumb. The entire nation is totally overreacting to this.

Have you seen what is happening in Italy?
Maybe if you're young you'll do fine, but if your parents and grandparents have more than a 10% chance of dying if they get this, people should be taking it more seriously. It has already proven to be much more deadly than regular flu or cold, specifically in certain age groups.

GRRR. We are/were planning to go 4/3-4/9. Fingers crossed it's back open.

They're saying they'll 'work with guests'. I'd say you could probably get a refund, especially if you don't live locally. Just keep 'pushing it up the line' until you get someone to say 'yes'.

When you hear the NBA and MLB closing up operations and Broadway theaters going dark this is not at all surprising.

 

[WonkaKid]

I was just kind of "waiting for the other shoe to drop." And there it goes.

Wondering when WDW will follow.

Someone I know is down there now and apparently it *is* closed for a few days for disinfection. Wild.

 

[AuntieMe3]

I wish I went yesterday like I planned and really wanted to.

 

[colormegreen]

I’m glad they are going to continue and pay their employees.

 

[Absinthe]

I’m actually surprised they didn’t close through April, it’ll probably get extended.

yeah. We are in May. Here’s hoping this gets resolved by then...

 

[DesertScorpion]

We were set for the first week of May. Will be interesting to see how long the closure ends up lasting. I could see it going further into April if one of the reasons is because of the local government ruling for gathering of large crowds.

Even more intriguing will be if they are in fact open in early May how busy it will end up being. Will it be packed with those that are effected now by the closure or will people be driven away for a few months. Interesting times we are in...

I was due to arrive tomorrow for our weekend trip. Im going to cancel our reservations for our Flex Passes in case we get hit with a penalty.

Now for me to call the Residence Inn to try to get a refund on a stay I cant cancel.

Exactly. I was driving out tomorrow. Will Disney compensate me for a hotel I can't cancel due to passing the deadline? Nope! I wish they would have given more notice. I'm kinda pissed. I understand why they are doing it, but I am still upset.

I knew this was coming, but actually reading it and It being reality is still shocking. I am so grateful I took my girls last week. We had the perfect day. It’s crazy how things can change in just a week.

I’m so sorry to everyone whose trips are cancelled.

Interesting. I hadn't seen/heard anything about a closure! Must have totally missed it!

Sad news. Kudos to Disney for still paying the cast members when the resort is closed.

I'm glad I've been paying all those overstuff items for all these years so that the people at the heart of DLR will not economically suffer from this crisis.

 

[TashK]

I am sorry about your vacation.
To be fair the Calif Governor only gave notice about gatherings over 250 people yesterday, giving Disney only 8 hours to make arrangements on how they were going to deal with this.

WDW is not closed.

CMs have been posting what’s being discussed behind the scenes but nothing has been announced and all WDW parks remain open.

Waiting for DVC --- #116 in queue

 

[Aurora0427]

March Madness has been completely cancelled as well, and the NHL has suspended their season.

I received emails from some hotel operators, I think hilton, saying how they will allow cancellations even for nonrefundable bookings up until a certain time. I would reach out to your hotels to see what they are willing to do. If not today, they might change policies any day to make exceptions if they think goodwill is worth more than the cancellation penalty.
