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

[ejdmomma]

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

Are they being moved to deluxe/DVC or cabins? Or are they being given the option of moderates or values?

Seeing reports that the 14 day quarantine for those come from the new York tri-state area has been extended without an end date.

People keeping dates are still only being moved to DVC and Ft. Wilderness.

One report of someone who changed their trip to November and was allowed to book Beach Club...not DVC part,

All other reports of date changes seem to still be DVC or Ft. Wilderness but those seem to be July.

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.

You made me laugh. Thanks for that

Where are you seeing that

Just called the Fl health dpt hotline and asked about the executive order, it does NOT have an expiration date and it's up to the Gov. to cancel it
here's the number for anyone that wants to ask 18667796121

Just one more thing, DIS guidelines state that talk about circumventing Disney rules is not allowed. I would extend that to talk about circumventing State rules as well. I know this order makes no sense but we have to abide by what is given right now. So please keep your thoughts on this to yourselves
Thank you

Which executive order?

NM - I figured it out -the tri-state one

 

[yulilin3]

Which executive order?

the one for self isolation for 14 days from people from the TriState area

 

[FeralCatRogue]

Gotta say that orders pretty stupid now when our rates are down and Floridas are going up. I am glad my trip is not til October I'd be more afraid of getting Covid in Florida right now then getting it in NJ. If i remember correctly when the theme parks re opened they had a daily case rate that was over the combined case rates of a week of all the tristate area.

I received an interesting reply from Walt Disney World Ticketing to my question about the validity of my 6-day PH. In "normal" circumstances, I would have a nine-day window including the first day of use within which to use up the ticket. And my printed confirmation says that: "Valid any six days from August 16 to August 24, 2020."

But now that the ticket's expiration has been pushed back to September 26, 2021, the reply from the WDW Ticketing person stated that the ticket can be used on any six days from the start date up to 9-26-21. In other words, the usual validity window has, uh...gone out the window. This is contrary to every other person/forum/whatever to whom I have inquired about this, so I'm not sure I believe it, but at least I have it in writing. The other thing I'm not sure about is whether the entire ticket will be 'demoted' to a Base (with appropriate refund via gift card or whatever) if I show up for a day or two in August and then come back months later. If the PH element is refunded in any sort of reasonable manner, that might work out okay for me. I will be interested to hear about actual guest experience with ticket validity as things get going next month.

Just a reminder discussion on the virus is off topic on this forum

THIS! I resist the urge to start a grammar/spelling thread every day. My other favorites are lose/loose, there/their, and dining/dinning.

l really don’t want to loose my dinning plan, but their are worse things.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Someone on the DIS (who shall remain nameless) once sent this to me via PM.



But anyway, to get back on topic. I've been tied up every day this week so not really checking the news, only to expect to log in to find some big explosion or that I've missed an AP sign-up, or whatever. And yet I return and we still know nothing. I mean, it's only 30 days away.

No resort e-mails for me for this new round of dates, even though I do have a reservation checking in during the latest window. I did receive the e-mail for the last round. The inconsistent e-mail pattern continues.

 

[HollyMD]

Yeah got yet another AP, no real message, thanks for your patience email from disney destinations today. Just KNEW it was going to be info about the reservation system. But nope. Just the same basic wording all of them have been so far. Wish they’d quit teasing me with the no info emails.

 

[lanejudy]

I do have a reservation checking in during the latest window

Ah, but there’s a twist... the latest round considers check-out date as well. Maybe your reservation extends past 7/11?

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Ha - I didn't know about the twist! I have moved on from following every small detail/DIS report and knowing every word on Disney's website to not caring any more. (Well, I do care, I just don't have the stamina to keep constantly following so have mentally allowed myself to check out)

My stay that week is 7/5-7/11.

Then that should just be a no-added cost move.

 

[Mom2Anna&Elsa]

Well, it’s Friday, I’m less than 30 day out from check-in, and I’d reallllllly like to get some more information today.

You can call now. That's what I did, didn't receive an email either, was moved no issues, call took maybe 15 min

Good morning! I keep reading about only being allowed to reserve parks for four days... is this in writing somewhere or is it a rumor?

This is really starting to resemble the world’s most expensive game of Telephone.
