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

[preemiemama]

We have DVC Gold expiring 7/10/20 still showing that date and a need to be renewed notice. Nothing else.

Our Platinum passes are set to expire August 4, 2020, and we have an on-site trip booked for mid-August. Just checked MDE and they haven’t updated the expiration date yet. I’m worried that they won’t have applied the extension when the new reservation system is launched and that we won’t be able to get park reservations. Do you all think they will fix this prior to launching the park reservation system?

Our platinum passes have already expired, aren’t showing up(ie no extension yet), and we have a trip booked for July 19-22. We have no idea if they will extend them beforehand, but I have a strong feeling that they will. If people who haven’t expired yet are being extended for dates in 2021, then they better start working on the people’s that expired during the closure and had to wait(we had a trip in April that was canceled).

ok, lets see if we can figure this out
For those that have passes that have expired and are gone from MDE and those that have passes due to expire and have not been extended
did everyone CALL and let Disney know you wanted an extension?

That is a NO for me for my son's AP. I just let it expire in April and didn't think about it. So I could maybe call and ask about it.

I did not call about an extension. Only call I made was for my renewal. My exp was 7/7, I have a trip starting 7/18, and I didn’t want to chance being slow to get park reservations. Renewal fits our travel plans anyway, especially if the extension is added to the renewal.

Hard no from me. We let it expire because they came out with the news that they would be extending once the parks opened back up.

Our passes expired 5/19/20. Still showing need to be renewed in MDE. Have not been extended.
I did not call to tell them anything. The email I received from Disney stated that passes paid in full would be extended. If I wanted any type of refund, I had to call.

My gold pass expired yesterday. It's still showing "expires 6/16/2020" and offering the renewal. I have not contacted Disney about my pass at all yet and I have not yet bought the renewal. (For me, renewing would save me $115 vs the refund, which should be $127 if fully proportionate and accounting for blackout dates if I've calculated correctly. So with an almost negligible price difference, the timing and where my new expiration date would end up is the only factor I'll really be basing my choice on.)

Also, on a different note, my complementary tickets received for singing in the Candlelight Processional in December are still showing expiration dates at the end of 2020. I don't expect those ones to get extended, since they are comp tickets, but I'm keeping an eye on them just in case.

No. Was waiting to get more info

 

[yulilin3]

I'm on hold right now with the ap line. They are aware that extensions are going through, so maybe if you guys call you'll get a clear answer

There's been a few updates for UK guests now. We were able to book and pay for the DDP for 2021 even after they stopped the 2020 DDP, but they've now stopped selling it. We were also able to book stays for all of 2021, but we can no longer book beyond September 26th 2021. They've also stopped selling the 21 day ultimate ticket, so now the only options are a 7 day or 14 day ticket.

Mine aren't expired until 7/10, but I called when we canceled our stay and requested the refund.

So from what I have read.... Some people are seeing the ability to make part reservations, but that was limited to one park per stay or once in each park per stay? and how many days out were they able to make reservations? 30? 60?

No, nobody has been able to make park reservations. Some people "discovered" the notes feature in MDE, thinking it was something new.

Post 5780 on this thread seems to show a reservation for MK?

There have been no reservations for the parks yet.
