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

[P'colaBeachBum]

Again this is not our system but it might be. That would be a way to spread people arriving or everyone would arrive at rope drop

They'll have to stagger people, can't have everyone turning up at once or else the queues just to get in would be horrendous

Universal did this for their two AP days.

Good points. I’m having a hitting the fan kinda day. Carry on and stay safe.

I've never been. Never stepped foot on Uni property to be honest.

Frankly I was debating what to do - something new vs a week in a villa w/ the parks closed... the novelty of a partially occupied resort, seeing what all is operating, etc. Not totally sure I made the right call, but just gotta roll with it I guess. It was time for something new anyway.

You are going to be spoiled by the Express pass and being able to walk to the parks

I have a Platinum AP and mine is still showing 8/7/20 expiry.

Just so you know you aren't alone, we have 3 Platinum APs that expire 8/10/20 and they haven't been extended yet.

So if they're going to have timed arrival slots, what's going to happen if you're late? Will they still let you in or are you out of luck?

Nothing has been posted on how the reservation system will work. But i would treat it as an adr. You always try to be on time for an adr and even if you're late they seat you

We are checking in on July 20 at Ft. Wilderness for a cabin. So excited as I have always wanted to stay there since I was little. My impression was I had until 7 days prior to pay in full. Today I received the 30 day reminder. Which is it? Has Disney changed the PIF policy or am I okay.

It’s 7 days for packages “until further notice” according to TAs, but the regular emails still go out. Nice and confusing for guests.

 

[yulilin3]

On hold with Disney Dining. Cannot remember the last time I had to call at 7am for anything

 

[Buzzster]

That’s what I thought but wanted to be sure. Whew

 

[Gus V.]

I’m also on hold with Disney dining. This is crazy, I have 12 days to book ressies for. This might take a while️

 

[yulilin3]

2 hour wait time at the moment
and then they throw the message "you can make reservations online, its quick and easy" smh

 

[jsmla]

Also on hold, we want ADRs for Olivias and Beaches and Cream 4th of July week.

 

[Lisa75]

On hold too. Trying for Topolino and Grand Floridian Cafe for next week.

Good to know, they didn't give me an estimated wait time when I called (right at 7). And that "make reservations online" freaked me out for a moment because I thought I missed something. Oy vey.

This sort of reminds me of the time that they switched dining reservations from 90 days to 180 days all at once around 10 or so years ago. 3 months of vacations called to make dining reservations all on the same day. That was such a disaster.

 

[Mom2Anna&Elsa]

Also on hold for one, maybe two reservations. We check in on 7/5 but I’m not looking to book any ADRs until 7/11 & 7/12, so I’m pretty sure I’ll hold for two hours only to be told to call back for those dates. Ugh.

What dates can you call for dining. Mine are 7/16-19.

Arrivals 6/22-7/10

 

[TXMemaw]

Called right at 7 (5:00 here) then waited on hold for 25 minutes and got disconnected while I was talking to the CM . Back on hold now. Just need a few reservations for 4th of July weekend.

 

[zemmer]

I was able to get in pretty quickly. The CM had to read me the terms and conditions. “This restaurant is one credit on the Disney Dining Plan.” They should really revise their stuff!

My sister in law was just told she could only book ressies for June 22-July 10th. My call dropped so I had to call back, not sure if I should waste my time holding only to be told the same thing. We arrive on July 10th-21. A cast member told me yesterday that I should be able to book for our entire stay...
