[Jroceagles]

JMO but I for sure think WS will,open-I am just wondering if there is time for the Cultural Reps to return by 7-15.

probably filled in with other CMs for now. I assume no Food and Wine this year....UGGG

Do you think they just may put Americans in those parts temporarily

What is this reservation system? I am assuming they are taking away fast passes and then you would somehow reserve a ride time??

There will be an "advanced reservation system" to essentially reserve your spot at a specific park on a specific date. Details of how that works haven't been released. No info about FP+ but I wouldn't be surprised if those all go poof.

I mean this in the nicest way.....why would you want to go to a water park with this pandemic going on?

I’m not even going to Disney or anywhere for that matter. I was just curious.

Why not ? I think it would be safer than going to Wal Mart at this point.

WOW! This thread has just exploded - kinda TL/DR at this point. Can I suggest to the OP or the mods or whoever has control - update the first post when FAQ info is updated. Things like;

1. What is happening to ADR's especially those that fall outside the new park operating hours
2. as far as that goes, I know the info is now well known but it keeps getting asked - known typical park hours since they are now the same no matter what date you pick
3. Any updates on Water parks
4. any updates on transportation
5. What is happening to FP+ reservations
6. What is happening to resorts other than DVC and DFW (those were mentioned in the official announcement)
7. When will Space 220 open (JK)

Definitely likely I would think that is a possibility.

Some of the Cultural Reps in WS have told me over the years that some Guests have actually asked them if they are really all Americans who Disney has taught accents!lol

Maybe Disney will actually do this now!lol

Yeah, the "Social Distancing Squad" or whatever he called it yesterday. It's going to be strange to have CMs telling us to stay apart. Usually they're ordering us to pack ourselves in as close as humanly possible. We may never hear the words, "Please move ALL the way down/forward/over and fill in ALL available space!" again.

Can you imagine what the line for Avatar is going to look like

With that long indoor queue Avatar lines might not be an issue at all. It might not even be open. Things to consider....

Sorry if I have missed this, any thoughts on Food and Wine?

Thanks for the feedback.

I've been trying to think through the best way to handle. I am somewhat reluctant to be responsible for any sort of FAQ or 'official' info - there are just so many angles to this, individual situations, Disney changes their wording sometimes, etc, and then that becomes a full time job to try to maintain, so on some level the links on post 1 to the 2 main Disney info pages are the best resource for now.

I need to sit down and think through structure/how best to approach when I get a moment.

Chlorine kills the virus so why not is the Florida heat?

I don't think anything has been said, but I personally, would not plan on it this year.

I appreciate it - in fact, THANK YOU! It doesn't get said enough but at least some of us are aware how thankless it is to be a mod on a well-used message board. You guys are killing it - easily the best source of info for all things Disney.

Well don’t know if it’s just a temporary glitch but my FP+ reservations did just go “poof” in the MDE app. Resort reservations for mid July (DVC) still there.

 

[Sandiz08]

All my fast passes are also gone from an early July trip.

 

[ugagal07]

All of my FP are gone from my trip July 19-24. ADRs are still there. FP are gone.

Personally I think linking to official info is the right choice.

An easy add might be having a link towards the top to a post in the thread with the current plan, for instance when Disney announced starting their opening, and then update that anchor as events unfold. That way people can skip the outdated information if they wish without guessing which of 208 pages to start at or work their way backward.

Mine are as well, but it says they can’t be displayed right now. They’re either pooping them or tinkering on the website. Then again, it’s says I’m free to modify any other reservations and that’s not true, so......I love find out a Disney policies and procedures by the changes they make in MDE.
