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

[SJSloan]

I totally get it! My reservation is 24 days away and I have no info. Haven't even been able to modify my reservation yet. Trying not to get too frustrated and upset, but I'm starting to lose that battle.

I'm not sure what your exact dates are but Disney is now modifying reservations from 7/5 or those with a check-out date of 7/11.

Yep! We were just able to change our 7/6 - 7/11 reservation to November. We were permitted to book a regular room (not DVC) and we were able to apply our 35% dining recovery offer to our stay.

Which resort did you book a regular room at?

We were offered Caribbean Beach first since that's where our July reservation was at. We decided to book Beach Club standard view instead since we were able to apply the 35% free dining recovery offer.

My dates are July 7-16 and I haven’t heard anything yet.

I'll go ahead and apologize for being "that person", but I've seen this spelling numerous times and it's driving me crazy.

"Legalize" (pronounced legal eyes) is a real word that means to make something legal. I think what you're going for here is "legalese" (pronounced legal ease), which is a made up word that means language created to explain lawyer stuff. You can equate this to the spelling of "Portugese", the language of Portugal.

Sorry again, that is all.

Haha, that’s been driving me nuts too!!!

It only applies to check-out dates before 7/11 so since your reservation crosses over that apparently they aren't addressing those at the moment.

I wonder if they are going to offer split stays to those whose rez straddles the July 11 date. IOW, DVC/cabins before and keep your original resort after?

Disney is designating relaxation areas I’ve heard. You’re right, people are going to need to take a breather. At Disney Springs I sat off to the side to drink water and no one approached me, although it wasn’t very crowded.

Your allowed to eat or drink.

Just got back from the first day of reopening at Sea World (streamed it btw if you want to watch it's on my fb page)
They have a smart, although slow system to unload the theaters, I'm assuming something like this will be put in place for shows at Disney like FOTLK or FNTM
Thy had people with flags and had one section at a time leave the theater so not a mad, crowded rush to leave
They also had every other row empty and on the rows that you could sit, markers every 3ft so you weren't close to the party sitting next to you
Rollercoasters were loaded the same way, leaving one row emtpy, wait times for Makp was 50 min when there was hardly anyone in the park

We have a check in date of 7/6 as well but not the dining recovery. When I called to move it, I was only offered DVC or cabins. Our original trip is at Port Orleans, so all of the options are double what we were originally paying. I held off on making any change, hope to call back in a couple of weeks and get a moderate.

yay, magic bands shipped today. check in July 19, DVC SSR

That so odd. Maybe try calling and talking to someone else? I have attached a screenshot of my mde so people won't think I'm crazy

Has the final payment window been extended indefinitely? Is the final payment due 7 days before arrival for packages now instead of 30?

I figured I would give it a few days/weeks and try again. At some point, they'll announce when the other hotels are opening. Thanksgiving week wasn't full before they shutdown the reservation system, so I think we'll be ok.

Just called, originally had a CR room garden view with a 50% CM discount ($260) was moved to Poly village, deluxe studio standard room
Checking in July 1

People are reporting that they have been moved for trips checking out later than July 11th now...they may have changed policy already.
