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

[figment5]

Gosh bless, got an e-mail from Disney just now.....

.... it was just an e-mail promoting more #DisneyMagicMoments from the Disney Parks Blog.

Gave me a freakin' heart attack.

I got the same...lol...I was like nooooooooooo...until I read it. I thought they were canceling my trip

I do not know what this means but wanted to share. I was booked for one night at the Disney Springs Best Western on June 23 and I just got an cancellation notice from them saying they are cancelling all reservations until June 30. In fact it has already been removed from my MDE. I was worried about this and any capacity regulations WDW put into place so I booked the same night at CBR when capacity speculation started, so at least I am covered.

Welp. Bit the bullet. Moved our 6/4/20-6/14/20 trip (formerly 3/18/20-3/28/20) to next spring break. It wasn’t as much of a bummer as the first cancellation and I’m honestly relieved now. Reset the countdown — 308 days left!!!

Len Testa of TouringPlans just posted this on their chat app...
‘For what it's worth, a Liner forwarded me an email from Shades of Green saying the current plan is for them to be open June 1. (Yes, June.)‘

Unrelated but kind of related...
DH sent an email to Shades of Green yesterday to order 2 more tickets for our August trip (hopeful!). He did skip a step since we didn't have to wait for them to send us the order forms, but still, we weren't expecting to hear back for several days. He got a callback less than 24 hours later and already received a shipping code that the tickets were sent out. Sounds like they're maybe ready to get back to business.

did you actually book it? If so how, I can only do till 12/31/20 check in and then it gives me to 1/30/21 check out

Yeah, called and moved the dates. Prices are absurd per usual, but once the discounts hit in the fall, I’ll call back and adjust the them. I have to call back and adjust our tickets later because we purchased those separately.

I have a trip planned from 6/16-6/20 at CR. I was able to customize and order magic bands several days ago. This evening when I looked at “my plans”, it doesn’t show any of my fast passes now. Only dining and resort reservations. Not sure if this is a normal glitch but I was able to see them this morning and now they are gone.

My trip isn't until November, so I don't have any Fastpasses, but I'm seeing a note in MDE that says, "We cannot display your FastPass+ details right now. You can still add or modify other plans.". Seems like maintenance or an issue with their system. I think you're safe (at least for now).

I just checked and all mine are missing too 6/1-6/10

My fast passes just disappeared also for June 17-21. Dining and resort still there. Could be that they are planning something different like the virtual lines. I’m also wondering if park hours might be limited in a way that renders some booked fast passes irrelevant anyway. Just guessing.

 

[wilkydelts]

Obviously I am a bit concerned too because mine are not showing either for June 23 but I saw them less than an hour ago so I am just assuming glitch or update

 

[Lisa75]

Today though I was able to update my online check in to change a room request on a DVC stay and I called member services and was able to add dme.

 

[tikilyn]

Oh no! Mine are gone too. Suppose to be checking in 6/1-6/8

 

[evino526]

Apparently my previous post got lost in the noise...my My Disney Experience is showing "We cannot display your FastPass+ details right now. You can still add or modify other plans.". My trip isn't until November, so I don't have any FP+ selections. This sounds like maintenance or an outage. I wouldn't be too concerned as of right now.

 

[Yooperroo]

Add me to the list. Reservations in both June and July and the website says they can't display my fastpass+ reservations right now.

This would be my take as well. They could be up to “something,” or could just be maintenance or outage as well (MDE certainly has the track record to make it plausible).

Agreed that they could still be up to something. I only say I wouldn't be too concerned because I've seen messages similar around FP+ and dining reservations when planning previous trips. We'll know soon enough...

I have a July trip planned that I booked fastpasses for on Monday and they are all gone.

I am among those with a few June trips scheduled (backups and hedging). While we’d love to make something work, we have frankly written them off mentally - just one part of a whole ball of uncertain summer schedules of camps, sports, etc. While our problems are small, I do have to laugh at the uncertainty of it all.

I’d like to think we’re pretty level headed in our approach - we’ll size up the situation at hand and make the best decisions when more information is known. I’m sensitive to a ‘false hope’ that may have sprung with no cancellation notices going out today (hard not to let it creep in your mind), and Disney’s rather dire warning about possible reopening operations on their website lingers in the back of my mind.

I follow Disney ‘patterns’ and often when you find a pattern or think you have something figured out, they throw an unexpected curveball. So I’m trying not to read too much into today. Tomorrow could easily bring a wipeout of the first week of June on the park calendars (which has been happening on Thursdays) and we’re back to where we started.

Just such a strange situation in trying to determine how to process/feel/plan.

Sorry if that reads pessimistic - I’m really not - just trying to stay open minded. And hold on to my Lapu Lapu dreams.

I’m still holding onto a shred of hope for June 1. My son graduates from High School Friday (15 min time slot to go into school with only me and get his diploma), he turns 18 on May 31, 8 years ago my husband passed away the night before my son’s birthday. Please keep drinking those Lapus in your dreams!
