I can't see them removing Riviera. Disney has to get the DVC resorts open so we can use our points. I know this was a cash stay so slightly different, but I just don't see them cancelling any of those reservations. I can understand Jambo. I don't know for sure, but I imagine they can shift all DVC over to Kidani, it's a 1-for-1 on the points I believe. What will you do with all the DVC point stays at Riviera? That's why the DVC resorts are scheduled to open 6/22, to allow points to begin being used.
I would think (hope) a stay booked at resort scheduled to be open would be offered a chance to move before being cancelled. My chat guy was on the phone with someone at Disney who confirmed my reservation was fine, though cancelled, and could be rebooked. My phone lady seemed rather clueless, I had to correct the dates on her more than once, she's the one that said the hotel canceled.
My email says "Thank you for contacting Chase Travel about a refund request for Disney's Riviera Resort. We are pleased to tell you that Disney's Riviera Resort has approved your refund.
Chase Travel has initiated your refund to the card used on your original booking."
I think if the hotel cancelled that would be worded differently.
Brief searching- NBA arrives 7/31 at CSR and MLS 6/24 with no details on location at this time (I'm guessing Jambo).
