Hi cakebaker! We are all still in the same place where we started...clueless! But some emails were sent out that apparently have no reason as to who they were sent to essentially. Typical Disney!

I received An email this morning stating I’m guaranteed priority yadda yadda and I have no dining or FP+ reservations, and I’ve only paid the deposit.

I'll just wait and see. We were not yet in our FP+ reservation window but we do have planned ADRs. No dining plan though.

Thanks for the update.lol Yeah, I’m on my 3rd email and my daughter got 1 for one I used her MDE to book. She didn’t even know I did it, but dang, I was out of AP allotments on reservations. looks like they’re going to send me a letter for every reservation I had.

One of my many dining reservations is gone.
Wonder why they picked that one? Flying Fish July 25

Disney's website says that all active APs will be extended for the number of days the parks are closed. What if your AP is currently expired, but was NOT expired when the parks closed? My AP expired May 11,2020, so it's not CURRENTLY active, but I lost about 2 months of time. Will they extend my expiration date?

Got my email an hour ago. July 13-20 stay, DVC stay at BCV and Riviera, AP holders, last name is in the middle of the alphabet.

Not yet, we were to arrive 7/7, I just checked and only our fastpasses have disappeared .

Same for us

Same for 8/18. The rest of our ADRs are still there.

Us too. July 5-17. My hope is that we can book a future trip for later in July and use the 35% off.

they have not given official word on this, someone called yesterday and Disney said they are waiting on the Governor to sign the new procedures and then they'll have more info
Now your ap will be extended (if that's what you decide instead of a partial refund) for the number of days the parks are closed, through your expiration date
For example the parks closed March 16th, my ap expired May 14, so those number of days will be added to my ap once the park reopens and I'll have a new expiration date

If your AP was active when the parks closed, it will be extended for the number of days the parks were closed. Doesn't matter that it expired during the closure.

ETA Sorry, after reading @yulilin3 's post above, your AP should be extended for the number of days from 3/16 through 5/11, not the full number of days the parks are closed. Our APs expire in October, so I've focused on them being extended the full length of time the parks are closed.

Bummer. What I expected, but bummer. I was waiting to buy tickets because they are expensive.

That also conflicts with some of the emails people have reported receiving on the News Board COVID thread.

That stinks. We were still going to try MNSSHP if it was open but my 2 year old has a tiny face. Smaller then my 1 year old. We don't have a mask that fits her. (And her long hair gives her age away- and vocabulary)

Wonder how they will deal with "other" AP's. We have the weekday select pass (all weekends, 2 weeks around Easter & June something to August something are blacked out). Our pass expires 12/11/20, so will they just add the weekdays we missed from 3/15 till June blackout & also subtract Easter blackout? Just curious - as Floridians we don't ever go near the parks from June till October anyway!

I got the email regarding changes and my trip isn't until May 2021 I guess anyone who has a reservation got the email.

I think it’s crazy! I can’t imagine many 2 year olds willing to keep it on!!!
