Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Llama mama]

You didn’t hear wrong. He definitely said that the days of Mom managing everyone under her MDE are over...at least for now.

I still don’t think it makes sense.

Wait so children need their own account?

 

[Farro]

I just got it too---My trip is July 19th...

Just got my email and I’m July 16th!

I just got this too! Our reservation is for March 2021 at YC.

No email yet, but I generally get them later than everyone else here . . .

Yeah, I got it too.

Except I don't have a ticket!

 

[Rxdr2013]

Yay...Now where are my emails! For reservation system and AP previews!

 

[JacknSally]

Just got the email. My stay is 11/30-12/5. I have a DVC rental with no tickets for 11/30, and a room + parkhopper package for 12/1-12/5.

With regards to MDE and family and friends having their own account.........

Pete said in his video today EVERYONE must have their own account now going forward. No more just adding friends and family. They ALL must have their own account

Do we have this confirmed yet?

Kids too?

I don't even like electric umbrella that much but I'm going to easy they're when I go just so I can say I was there.

DO NOT remove them from your account.

Make a new account with their exact information and then u link them in the MDE.

That is what I did and it worked fine

I wouldn't do anything to MDE right now, as you're potentially setting yourself up for an IT disaster (even more than normal) come Monday.

I know this is kind of an annoying answer but I firmly believe they're taking a wait and see approach on many things, including discounts. Discounts are all about driving new bookings, and we're still a few weeks out at least until new bookings are permitted. Like what we were talking about with APs, it will all depend on what park availability looks like. I can tell you that guests who were booked with a room discount for the resorts-only period who opted to modify their reservation were offered a slight discount (maybe 20%) on their new booking. It was done quietly though, so I think if there are any discounts to be had later this year, we won't be seeing them for some time.

On Monday, if possible, I'd highly recommend using a desktop computer if possible (given the amount of demand that will be on the system), but I'd imagine m.disneyworld.com (their mobile site) will also have access to the system. Not confirmed yet (just no MDE).

I'm not saying you're wrong; it's certainly possible but we don't know. If you ask another CM, you'd probably get a different answer. I don't think it's fair to go after those with late 2020 and 2021 reservations if Disney doesn't provide any additional communication. If Disney doesn't clarify, then I don't blame anyone with tickets and a reservation for 2020 or 2021 for logging on to try to make a reservation. Now, if Disney does come out and say it will only be for a shorter window and those people are just logging on because they want to "see the system" or "practice," then you have a legitimate gripe. If Disney doesn't provide any additional communication, any crash is on Disney, not them. I do think they will provide quite a bit more info this weekend though.

Sorry if it came across as me "going after" vacationers in late 2020/2021. Not my intention. I agree that this is a Disney created issue 100%. Their communication has, and continues to be, abysmal. However, I am frustrated with people who are being super reactionary and illogical. I hope for everyone's sake that Disney gets their together, and soon.

My AP expires on 3/28 with the extension. If I want to book a trip for May 2021 when reservations open again, how am I going to make park reservations with an AP that will have expired by May.. but I can’t renew it until the AP expires. Honestly wondering if this is the end of annual passes. Unless I’m missing something this doesn’t make any sense to me.

I have not seen that anywhere. I have no idea what Pete is talking about.

 

[disneydreamer1970]

I figured out how they are going to handle the Value resorts reservations!!!! LOL They are going to get us excited about being able to actually let us into parts with reservations, during that happiness they will drop the bad news of us moving at our expense. With us having reservations we will then feel almost guilty for not paying extra to go........... I know this is a long shot but it just popped in my head. Just ignore me.

I would literally cry.....The waiting on this is the worst! Just let us know already!!

You can "Taverne" Electric Umbrella all that you want, but it won't change the fact that it's the worst QS at Epcot.

No - that is what I have actually been thinking all along, especially in light of what "insiders" here have been alluding to about next item to drop about value/mod stays. I think they will say "we can move you to a deluxe, but you will have to pay the difference." Hopefully, we will find out s**n!

is this in addition to the already extended passes? (4 months we got on ours extended)

 

[glocker]

I got a email from Disney for my Nov stay saying I can start booking Monday. So this is not correct.

Well then Disney is dumber than I thought. They are asking for a tech bloodbath on Monday. I guess you never can trust a CM after all.

 

[Searc]

How do you like your crow served?

Or all the people who try to book park reservations more than 60 days away are in for more disappointment Monday. I think that is more than likely going to be the case.

 

[LeeLee'sMom]

I wonder if new tickets will become available before my August 24th (GF but now a mystery) stay. That seems pretty far into "later this summer".

We are August 8th

Monthly payment plan here.

So in ADDITION to the extension for closure, you can either choose to extend 1 extra month, or take refund post-August and cancel the pass.

I guess they think the value of park hopping is worth 1 month's worth of payment? Wooooow.
