Pending approval from government officials, the phased reopening plans we submitted calls for Walt Disney World theme parks and Disney Resort hotels to open beginning July 11 for Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom followed by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15.

So this states resort hotels will start to open on July 11th as well. DVC will open on June 22nd. Now will that include the 5 AKL CL DVC rooms? One would think, no.
 


Resort bookings are shut down right now.
That was expected as they have to adjust existing reservations and implement the capacity limits for resort guests. Also we don't expect all resorts to open since they are limiting capacity.

We're rethinking our Aug 9-15 trip now. I'm going to wait about a week to make any decisions to see what other information comes out. I'm torn. On the one hand, I'll be happy to be at Disney. On the other hand, this was a splurge trip and my daughter is not a thrill ride person. She relies on the meet and greets to take up the time when my son rides all the rides. Also, we were planning on park hopping and I don't see how that will happen with a reservation system. Worst case, we'll move the trip to during the school year and hope the teachers don't give us too much flack or push it all the way back to next year's Spring Break. This was originally a Spring Break trip for this year.
 
I know some of us are following both CL & rumor/news threads (hey @cakebaker :D ) so y’all will definitely hear in short order if anything CL related pops up tomorrow :)
Ok, my feelings are officially hurt, I get no shout out even after spending the better part of lock down chatting in the rumor thread *giant crocodile tear* lol My internet went out right as they announced the dates so I couldn't even participate in a drinking game, I feel so dissapointed that I didn't leave that task force meeting extremely drunk.

On another note, because my internet decided to blip out during the meeting after I heard the dates I called and switched our Poly reservation for July 8-15 to a BWI CL the week of Thanksgiving where I had a placeholder at Music and already made all our dining reservations,hope they don't mess with our ADRs so we can go to V&A on thanksgiving! I was also the one to break the news to the phone CM that things were about to get wild, he didn't believe me about the dates because they had heard ZERO news. So there you go, it has been officially confirmed that Disney doesn't tell them anything lol. Now I just have to sit and wait to see what happens to CL as time goes on, and if the experience is still diminished coming up to our dates I'll just switch to a non-CL room. DH is REALLY bumbed out, and really wanted to stay at Poly, but the cheapest room was going to be $5k more than our July trip and that wasn't even a CL room, the least we can do for that kind of money is be in walking distance to his favorite park and get CL. He's never stayed CL, and BWI is by far my favorite CL now, so I hope it's running at least semi-normal by that point *fingers crossed*

And now, we wait.

My sister wanted to come down in early december to see us at Disney and was thinking the same, but the teachers will be working themselves and the kids even harder this fall than any other prior year to make up for the lost educating time these past months. She decided it just won't be a good time for the kids to do it. I respect her decision and will just have to make a trip to see her instead :)

Sounds like an excellent plan for Thanksgiving week and extremely quick thinking on your part to make the quick call before the reservation pause started this morning. :hyper2:

That CM should have just pretended the call with you never ended... there were no happy moments in his workday after talking to you!

Fingers crossed it's a much better experience by the holidays. And oooooooh!!! V&A!

He told me to have a good day, I said “good luck!” And he’s like “oh.....ok” 😟 😂

my DH is sad we won’t be at V&A on our actual anniversary like we had booked, but I told him this will be the best thanksgiving dinner we ever have so I don’t want to hear any complaining 🤪
