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

[pooki1]

I called earlier regarding my May 2021 trip and was told to call June 28 to add park tickets to my room. Hope this helps

Thank you, that’s where it gets confusing to me, I have park tickets and a resort reservation I just need to change my dates from now to next May, so many questions

I am a NY resident. Anyone have a guess if the FL ban for NY residents will go away? My travel agent keeps telling me to wait but I want to make other plans if there is no hope of allowing us to go without the 14 day rules.

Right now officially ends July 7th.

This all snuck up on me, been busy and not paying attention. After many cancelled trips, we finally just settled on a DVC reservation for next March.

3 out of 4 of us have APs that expire in August (after extension), the 4th has 5 day park hoppers that don't cover the length of the new trip.

We had intended to buy new APs for everyone before March but not renew. Does anyone know what my options here or is this all unknown? Are the current APs sufficient to make reservations with? And what about the one with not enough tickets? Can I extend them or are all sales still halted? I plan on calling tomorrow and see what they can do but curious if anyone knows.

We have a trip planned for Aug7-17....looking forward to booking park reservations on Monday....Disney seems to be be putting all plans into motion and Desantis is insisting things will not be shut down again.

Please forgive me if this has been asked before....but with the numbers rising in Florida, what does everyone think is the likelihood that Disney may just scrap this whole plan and shut it all back down again until further notice. They definitely don't seem to be going in that direction but wondering if that is even a consideration.

Call the AP line right now (407) WDW-PASS or (407) 939-7277 . They are answering calls and I only waited 5 mins.

I’m wondering how far out the park reservation system is going when it opens up next week?? Are they allowing EVERYONE that have room & tickets even into next year to reserve their park days?? We have room only reservations for March 2021, we get tickets through our base being military. If we can’t get tickets for a month or two at the earliest, I’m hoping our days will still be available to get in.

That ended up sending me back to the main phone line. Spoke to a CM there and basically said, I would have to wait until June 28th to buy tickets or passes to cover my dates. At that point I could make reservations.

As a fellow NY resident at this point I would be more worried about having to quarantine upon going back home.

Yeah, why do people want to travel anywhere right now? Oh, cause we have Disney bookings we long to keep, know we shouldn't, and there it is. I am worried also about Florida catching fire in the next couple of months but still am hopeful Disney World isn't an Abandoned episode for some Youtube vlogger next year.

I wasn’t trying to be snarky or facetious, Gov Cuomo legitimately mentioned the possibility of it the other day. Depending on how things look NYers could very well see the FL quarantine lifted only to face one when going home. My Sept trip is fully refundable so I’ll play the waiting game.

I plan to quarantine for 14 days when we get home anyway, even though we aren't flying. However, husband and I have been able to work from home and seem to be able to for the foreseeable future. DS will be out for summer vacation. I think I can get curbside pick up for groceries and maybe even grocery delivery.

The more I think about it, I’m guessing the reason they’re allowing reservations through next year WITH TICKETS is to jumpstart the cash flow. While I hate the thought of buying my tix now, I guess I’ll look at it as helping them get back going. (Although picking my park days NOW for May kinda seems insane...)

Do we know if having a booking at a Disney Springs hotel will allow you to book on Monday like a resort would?

 

[osufeth24]

If people are so worried then don't come. Geezus it's not hard.

Swan and Dolphin are a definite yes, but idk about the good neighbor hotels. I would think so but assuming things is not the move right now.

Sorry if I missed this, but do we know for sure the reservation system opens at 7:00 AM eastern Monday? I've had two cast members online tell me "that would be a good time to check" but that they didn't know for sure.

Gonna be honest here, I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not.
If so, haha very funny.
If not, then as Thumper always says, if you don’t have anything nice to say...
Many people have been planning trips for years to be able to go even just one time with an entire family. I’m not surprised everyone is confused and a bit deflated by the closure and the craziness that has ensued afterwards. People have a right to worry, and that’s ok. But it should be their decision what to do for the safety of themselves and their families.

Ah, the fun CM roulette game! Some say 7am, some say you could get in during testing(not that you could get far, but you could maybe try). I’ll be on the website from around 10pm Sunday night till Monday morning, just to see what happens. There can always be lucky people who get in early.
