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

[ultimatefans]

I called the hotline and they have said it doesn't have an end datr and then others have said they called and they said July 7th unless extended. Here's the thread for that discussion https://www.disboards.com/threads/ap-holders-from-ny-nj-conn.3804235/
remember no politics or discussion on circumventing rules is allowed on the DIS
furthermore Disney will not check you in if you come from these states during the EO validity

Before traveling to Florida, please make sure that you have reviewed any advisories or restrictions that may be in place for travel to Florida. Visit https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/travelers/ for information. Guests who are under isolation or quarantine orders must not enter Walt Disney World Resort.

Do you have any more info on how check-in works? We live in Western NY (which unfortunately is still included in the governor's quarantine orders) but will be spending time with family in a different state before heading to FL. We might end up canceling everything at the last minute and are trying to get as much info as possible before then.

no because the hotels are not open yet. Hopefully someone checking in next week will be able to ask and see what they do

I’m just hoping they manually extend the annual passes that expired for people under the closure soon. We have a resort reservation but it’s no good if we don’t have our passes!

I know you're in the camp that Disney is well within their contractual limits not to extend the APs past July 11/15, but I wonder if once the AP masses appreciate how this new park reservation system affects what they bargained for (despite the terms and conditions) and the complaints start rolling in, Disney does the "right" thing and extends the suspension of time for APs to the end of the park reservation period.

Again, a good way to resolve this, in three steps:

1. Extend the suspension of time for all WDW annual passes through the WDW park reservation period.

2. Allow WDW AP holders the ability to make reservations during the park reservation period, subject to all WDW restrictions in place for park reservations.

3. Once the park reservation period is over, subtract the number of park days used by a WDW AP holder during the park reservation period from the total number of days added to his or her WDW annual pass from March 16, 2020 to the end of the park reservation period.

Don't get me wrong. I am hoping and praying they do right by us. They just have made sure to cover their backs
The whole point of having an AP is waking up one morning and deciding which park I want to go to, this reservation system will put an extra step into that, and also there's now a rumor that it will extend for the entire 2021

Without diving too much off topic, that'd be just ridiculous

If that were to happen, I'd probably cancel my 2021 resort staycation as I refuse to renew my ap as long as the reservation is in place.

Looks like I'll be attending universal more often

ok - so I called again today about my Gold APs that were purchased for a June trip that was canceled (in fact, we should be there NOW!!) which means they've never been activated and do those "count" as valid tickets for the new park reservation system (they do show up in my MDE under our names).

What I was told, after being transferred twice....was YES, that if you have tickets that are CURRENTLY LINKED to your MDE that they will count as valid tickets for making park entry reservations in the new system and even though my APs are not active, they are linked and therefore should work.

AND, she said that they were told TODAY, that if you have tickets linked to your account, you will be on a "list" to get email updates on how to make park entry reservations.

AND then she said that we should hear more information SOON...I kid you not, she actually used the phrase, "you should hear something SOON"...

those words must be in their script to read...from now until the end of time I will associate the word SOON with Disney....

It's a good sign that they are feeding the CMs new information. Between that and all the website fits and starts the last 24 hours (plus the MDE & DL app updates this week) I'm thinking Soon may actually be 24-48 hours now...I hope...

Reminder:
Once the reservation system opens or we get news on when it's opening these are the two EXISTING threads to visit. PLEASE do not open another thread, that way communication can be shared in a more organized way
https://www.disboards.com/threads/non-ap-ticket-holders-and-new-park-reservations-system.3803947/ for non AP holder
https://www.disboards.com/threads/confused-about-ap-extension-refunds-no-new-info-yet.3798147/ for AP holders
once the news comes in the titles will reflect that the system is operational

Hey all,

seeing some reports online of TA's begin told to make sure to tell folks to have their tickets linked to MDE. I have a question.

We booked directly with disney by paying the $200 down. We haven't paid everything off yet. But our tickets and our Halloween party tickets show in MDE. So are we good then? Does disney consider these valid tickets for our dates even if the package isnt completly paid for yet?

If you have a valid, active ticket you should be alright. the MNSSHP won't help you with the reservation system.
Do you show tickets for each person on MDE?

Yes I show theme park tickets (not Halloween party) for each member of my party.

Things are happening!!

We have five people on our reservation, but only two with tickets. The other three are not going to parks. Will the two be able to get park reservations?

I'm watching the DIS Unplugged on YouTube and they mentioned that rumor on the streets is that we'll have some sort of an update at the end of this week...

*fingers crossed*

I would say you have as good a shot as anyone else that has tickets. The 3 people on your reservation without tickets shouldn't matter.

Now the question is what set of dates are you going to be able to make park reservations for. LOL. More to stress about.
