I feel like...are people excited for this? I was under impression most didn't want to go to parks!

I'm just curious, did they ever open up 2020 resort reservations again?

Yes. I booked a a week at CBR during Thanksgiving and Xmas when they reopened bookings on July 9.

Where’s this good news that Scott spoke of? This is the same news we had, just with an expiration date

Yikes, definitely not the hopeful bonus options that people were holding out for

The good news is that spots are being reallocated from theme park day guest bucket to AP bucket for July and August.

The bad news is that Disney has decided the only options for APs now are going to be take a 30 day bonus or cancel your pass. Some people were hoping for AP freezes or other bonuses.

So we should expect to learn more about the options no later than August 12th.

Hopefully we start seeing an email today that's not about park availability.

I think the good news was that they’re refilling the AP reservation bucket a little for MK, AK, and EPCOT.

Has anyone noted what the refund amount looks like if you opt to cancel your pass?

Emails start going out today with these 2 options (30 day bonus or cancel. You have to call AP line to cancel) Must decide by August 11

This was the thing I was eyeing to gauge where demand was for the parks and whether they saw an uptick in fall reservations....guessing no

Well that was anticlimactic.

I just don’t understand why its all or nothing. Like, I don’t want the extra month, or the 4 months of an extension. Why is it so difficult to just give a 4 month refund?

They are trying to get people on property. I literally could drive there this afternoon and be home this evening but 30% isn't going to do it for me lol. 60% off I'll drive over

Agreed. My 30 day "bonus" is really nothing because it would be for July 2021 and my pass is blocked out for July. They overcomplicated initially and now they can't compensate for it.

If they gave me just my regular AP, or DVC discount on ShopDisney they’d get a heck of a lot more money from me, let alone the 30% discount

But you have popcorn!!

Not what I was hoping for. I’m glad to see extra days for the local AP’s.

25 cents a day is the refund
