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

[RangerPooh]

I have no idea how Disney targeted that email! "You'll be provided early access blah blah blah".

This is what I'd like to know. MDE, DVC,a nd D+ are all attached to one account and is what our family primarily uses for reservations and passes, but have received nothing. DH has a log in for DVC and MDE that he rarely uses and got an email. Made absolutely no sense.

They said there would be soft openings to the parks prior to the scheduled opening. No other details and no details on the resorts. Fingers crossed for you.

I think I read that resorts would open before July 11th. Went to look and it says DVC properties along with Fort Wilderness will open June 22

11:37 email received, must have been a second batch. Not that it is a surprise since I've been reading along here all morning!

My July 1st and 2nd fps are now gone, my CR reservation is still there

 

[P'colaBeachBum]

Just got the email.
And as @Chef Dion posted it does state at the bottom. I have 2 third party ADRs at DS so hopefully those won't cancel.

"Select third party operated restaurants and certain other experiences may not be cancelled."

The NEW Email just sent out has an extra paragraph:

"However, because you have valid Theme Park admission, you will have access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We’ll be contacting you soon with details on this new system".

This was not in the email I received last night (to an MDE with no entitlements). It went to an MDE with a linked 10 day ticket (part of a package - so a dated park entry).

Same here - mine came at 11:34.

I had obviously seen it here but hadn't read super carefully since we already knew it would just say all dining and FPs cancelled. However, I did find the last sentence of this paragraph reassuringon the off chance we do decide to not cancel:

However, because you have valid Theme Park admission, you will have access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We’ll be contacting you soon with details on this new system as well as the process of making new dining and experience reservations. If you have previously booked experiences, you’ll also be provided with first access to make new reservations.


EDIT: Now that I'm reading more carefully...I think that last sentence might actually NOT have been a part of yesterday's emails? I'm seeing at least some that didn't include that line.

I got this email last night as well! I had the first one, then received this one 15 minutes later. So weird

I have a trip in August and one in October, both DVC stays with an AP. I just received my email a few minutes ago.

Yeah, I'm just noticing that the language seems to imply that if you have tickets but had not previously set up Fastpasses or dining reservations, those of us who had done those things already will get access first to set up new ones. Which makes sense, but I'm glad to see them say that.

So I got an email but it doesn’t say anything about canceling my dining reservations? That’s strange.

 

[Eastern]

Also just got the email.

 

[Lsdolphin]

I would love to know how they choose which guests to send these emails!!! I have 2 resort reservations and tickets for this Sept and dec and have still heard nothing from Disney! These reservations were made early last year!!!

 

[mrsap]

Also just got the email.

Same here.

Has anyone with a dining plan received an email yet? I'm not worried about the email itself, but it seems the FP and ADR cancellations emails have gone out but I haven't specifically seen any DDP email reports yet.

 

[elgerber]

What are the dates of the stays, for people receiving the emails?

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

Free bounceback DDP for September and have not received anything yet

Some folks on this thread here trying to track it, FYI: https://www.disboards.com/threads/a...-been-contacted-and-what-offer-given.3803098/
