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

What is an equity performer? I would think it would be a big money maker for them even at 50% capacity. This might be the final deal breaker for us. It was the one thing my DH wanted to do this trip.

Actors' Equity is an actors' union. From what my actor friends have been saying, Equity is not allowing performances yet.

Does anyone know if we can make a Park reservation as part of a package and then transfer to tickets only and still keep the reservation if we get a DVC room?
We are waiting for our first DVC contract and don’t have points available yet to make a reservation and not sure there will still be rooms left for our dates in March so I would like to have a backup plan with a regular hotel room
Any thoughts?

The nba is expected to be at Coronado through mid October

so i should wait until an email from Disney offering a different resort for my sept stay?
i assume i shouldn't do any thing preemptively

 

[CastAStone]

so does that mean my september reservation at Coronado won't happen?
or that if anyone wants to travel AFTER october 14th to coronado it will be available for them

I think they’ll just move you to an open resort, likely Caribbean Beach.

You have a while to wait. They're only doing people striving through July 11 right now. If you can wait, I would wait

I was told that I was fine to make park reservations on Monday with my park hoppers and then calling at a later time to switch to regular tickets. It would not mess up the reservations I already made.

This was one of my questions. Thanks for posting and easing my mind. With so many questions, it's nice to have ONE answered!

With the current list of attractions/entertainment closures should we be worried that it is really going to effect crowd spread and make open attraction lines very long? I have always thought the analytics and lower capacity levels would cause lines to be very balanced but I am not sure how not having these larger shows which hold large numbers effects my thoughts.

It would have to be a super low capacity number for the queues to be under 30 min. It's just something we won't know until the parks open
I think attractions that will suffer most are the ones that are loaded usually with multiple groups like FoP, MFSR, MS, KS, RotR
Also attractions that are popular with low capacity like SDD, 7DMT, NRJ

Translation: All my favorite attractions!
Still, I hold out hope. I need my Disney, as I'm sure everyone on this thread also does.

Does anyone know where on the app we will be able to make park reservations? I was hoping to practice ahead of time but guess it won’t show up until tomorrow AM?

So apparently you have to go online and not the app
But you can go on mde ands click the learn before you go place holder and then go all the way down to park reservation, and then mde on the page

That is great news!

With the cash rooms of Y&B opening up the end of Aug, might it be assumed SAB would be open by Sept.?

Also, I will be doing all the "Learn Before You Go" tutorials... Every time I see that phrase, I think, "Boy I thought the days of "learning" before a WDW vaca were long over!"

thank you, as I was going to ask this as well regarding website vs. the phone app.. I know its anyone's guess, and we'll find out tomorrow, but do you think this is going to be a "sell out in seconds" type of situation?

I expect MK and Hollywood Studios will see out in seconds for extremely busy weeks like: Christmas Week, Christmas Break, Thanksgiving Week.

On Disney's website. Go to WDW's planning page and it is there. Just scroll down.

Have you heard anything about how they're going to do RotR (I don't mean VQ/Standby), but if any portion of the experience will be skipped

Any idea when face mask / face covering will be lifted? I have a mid-August trip booked (August 13-21) and don't want to wear a covering. I flat out refuse.

I really don't expect that to be going away any time soon.
