WDW COVID-19 Operational Changes- Reservation System-Rope Drop Procedures

I just filled out my survey! We are supposed to be checking into pop century on June 1-7. At one time we were not planning on going If we had to wear masks, but my family has caved on that and will be willing to wear them if they open. I checked we will go if they are open no matter what at this point. We’ve got a back up reservation for July 14 if they don’t open by June 1 which I would love but am not counting on.
Which reservation did it reference in the survey, did you notice? Just curious if they are sending any to reservations in early June, or only mid June and later. (Mine is June 9)
 

Has anyone received a survey from Disney? Just saw it on another forum.
I think it should be coming to people with early summer plans...
(I have not yet :) )
Just received one. We have an early July reservation. It was interesting. Some basic info (age, zip code, income) and then more interesting questions about what would make you definitely cancel your trip, how likely you are to visit a variety of locations and in what time frame, and how you plan to travel there. Also an interesting one about how much of a planner you are regarding a WDW vacation and how many days notice you would need before traveling to WDW.
 
I'm going for a resort only anniversary trip. I indicated that I did not purchase park tickets. It asked what non-park experiences would make me want to cancel. I put pools, restaurants and Disney Springs closed because those are the things we plan to do. It also asked about reasons for canceling for more generic reasons: my local stay-at-home orders not being lifted, Florida's orders not being lifted or too restrictive, flying protocols too tedious. I also indicated that I will cancel if it is required to wear a mask while there. I am ok with wearing one on the plane, but not the whole time I am on vacation. It also asked if my finances were impacted by the pandemic. It asked what Florida attractions I was planning on going to besides WDW. They asked if I had a previously cancelled trip, which we did-DCL and a few days at WDW over Memorial Day week and why I cancelled that trip-my cruise was cancelled and stay-at-home orders for my state. It also asked if I would cancel if the hotel I booked would have to be changed due to it being closed. That's all I can think of.
 
We are scheduled to arrive 6/1, staying at AKL and I haven't received anything yet. If they are basing their decisions to open by these surveys it's going to be awhile before they open.
 
It referenced my June reservation and asked how much notice I would need to go. It had multiple choice for 10, 20, 30, 40 days.


I remember that it asked about a variety of topics how soon would I feel safe doing them: now, 1 month, 2-3 months 4-6 months, 6 months or more: go to beach, attend concert, go to outside mall, go to an inside mall, go to theme park, cruise, large gathering, restaurant, brick & mortar store, national park.

I did not get any questions about how much notice I would need to travel.
 
No survey here either. Had a May trip with DD I canceled and moved to November and an August trip with the family.
I did get a snail mail letter today from Disney confirming our August stay :). Those seem to come randomly too!
 
I was wondering if any of the surveys asked about transportation such as DME and onsite. Trying to guess if they will have airport transportation.
DME sounds likely based on the automatic reply email I got yesterday. It said something along the lines of they may not be able to send me a letter/tags before my arrival to just use the info in the email.

SeaWorld says it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get the park ready to reopen once they get the green light. Gives an idea how long for Disney to reopen once the green light is given.
On one of the Dis podcasts, Pete estimated that as well because they have to order supplies, food, make sure everything is disinfected and who knows what else. I think when they call for furloughed employees to come back that will be a good sign an opening will be a few weeks following.
 
I have 2 reservations in June and 1 in August. My survey references the August trip. I took pics but forgot on a few of the questions. Will try to attach. I’ve got 18 total so more in next post. There was also a question about if any of these parks were closed would you cancel. Included the 4 Disney parks individually, plus universal, lego land, some others.

Has anyone with a June reservation received magic bands yet? Sorry, I can’t remember how far in advance they are sent.
