Also in the article: no more free MagicBands with resort stay starting 1/1/2021

I already set up my order for magic bands for my trip starting January 10th. Am I going to get charged for these do you think?

That's what I was thinking too. I just didn't see it in the statement. My alarm is already set for Monday!

Not sure what you Want them to do?? The water parks have been closed and no reopening dates have been announced. Closed is closed.

Can you imagine the flack they’d take if they publicized, ‘0h and our closed water parks are...closed.’
Until they announce an official opening date, i Plan on them being closed.

Announcing that they don't have a date to reopen them would be considerate...as would you know showing that they're closed and will be closed on the website.

Well, looks like it's time to start following along here a bit more. It looks like I'll be making reservations Monday for our September trip. I wonder if we'll be able to refresh for park availability like we've done for FP's (I'm going through refreshing withdrawal).

ETA, not sure on how far out they are doing Park Reservations....maybe I don't have to make them Monday? I dunno lol

I think if it's in there, it might not...but who knows? We didn't get charged full price for the premium bands we ordered for our canceled stay.

I noticed that you have to pick a time to enter the park as well, so rope dropping is dead for the time being

It says park reservations will be available through September 26, 2021..View attachment 502217View attachment 502217

Seriously?! So what, I have to book a vacation for summer of next year or I risk getting **** out of the parks? No. No way. I have no idea what week I’ll be available to take off next summer.

Maybe that date is to cover the UK packages? They book out pretty far.

So Disney IT plus over a year's worth of booked Disney resort vacationers logging on at the exact same time to book their park reservations? What could possibly go wrong ?

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I wonder how or if re-entry will work? Like if I get a morning time then want to go somewhere to eat or nap then want to return to the park how will that go?

Anyone have a link to the "select hotels" that can book on the 22nd? Wondering specifically about the Swan and Dolphin...

unless you book first time available

"Select a Time: This is the time that you can visit the park." We've lasted this long...

**update to say that it is probably just an entry time rather than a timed visit.

It reads to me that you better book your 2021 vacation on 6/28/20 and get your park reservations the very same day or risk getting.. well, not getting into a park.

I doubt it. The system is designed to know how many people are going into each park with at least one day notice. The whole point is to control capacity

 

[yulilin3]

"Select a Time: This is the time that you can visit the park." We've lasted this long, but this could be the final deal breaker for us.

from the example leaked screenshot it looked like last time available to enter is 2 hours after park opening
They won't have an end time, like they'll kick you out after 6 hours

But they're also selling park hoppers with 2021 tickets so who knows?
