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

I feel like I'm late to the party. If Disney chooses the resort for you, can you cancel if you don't want that resort? Get a refund? or is it too early to know at this point.

I am pretty sure if you call and just want to keep trip, they will tell you during that call where you will be going.

At that point, you could say cancel. From what I am being told, you won’t be able to not accept and not cancel once you have initiated something.

Thanks, that is what I was wondering. Trip is not until Nov. 1 at AKL and was hoping to stay there. There are some DVC resorts we would not want to stay at....VGF or BWV and we would cancel. I know that is far off and I hope things will settle down by then.

Honestly, by a November, I think most WDW resorts will be open. I think these changes will be for the first few months until the rest are up and running,
 


Has anyone heard if the reassigned rooms will be comparable? We booked a family suite at AoA since my teenage daughter is bringing a friend and we don’t want all 4 of us to have to share one room.
 
Just got switched over from POFQ to Wilderness Lodge villas from our original July 1-3 trip to now July 19-22. Most of the ‘cheaper’ studio villas are gone from some of the hotels, some 1 or 2 bedrooms are left. Riviera is completely sold out(at least what our TA told told us).

Not sure what’s going on with Riviera, but right before they locked out making new reservations, Riviera was not available. I’d been checking daily and they had availability, then suddenly not. That was right as Disney made their presentation. All others were open with the exception of GDTand CR. This was cash, not a DVC.

I’m assuming yours was not a free upgrade as you changed your dates? But if they’re running low on studios, might be a good time for those looking for upgrades to call!
 


I read that the NBA players will use three Disney hotels. That's a lot of people movin'. I wish they'd say a thing or two if people could literally lose their booking over this. Where could they possibly move that many people and still keep capacity limits?

Going all that way, staying in a disney hotel and no guarantee you can get in a park is worrying. I'm not going till December next year at the earliest but if things are still dire by then...
 
Good morning everyone. For newcomers and those that don't keep track of the minute-by-minute news, here are the six "main" pages on Disney's website they are using to post various news/information/disclaimers about the pending reopening. These are also posted on Post #1.

WDW Operations Update Page - https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/travel-information/
WDW Experience Updates - https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/experience-updates/
WDW Annual Pass Update Page - https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/experience-updates/annual-passes/
WDW Resort Hotels & Activities Update Page - https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/experience-updates/resorts/
WDW Dining Update Page - https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/experience-updates/dine/
Disney Springs Update Page - https://www.disneysprings.com/reopening/

With each new update seems to come more topic-specific website pages.... and while simple enough to find/navigate, these pages are sort of growing in length of information and intertwining/overlapping topics/links.

Thank you to everyone for staying on topic and argument free here lately, and for everyone's respectful/helpful contributions to the thread. Hopefully more theme park information begins to shake loose this week.

You’ve never been guaranteed entry to a park. It’s legalize, nothing more.

Yes as in you turn up drunk you are not getting in, you try and smuggle in something you aren't supposed to have, you aren't getting in etc. Disney letting you book your trip and then saying you arent getting in even though you have travelled, paid a ton, have valid tix is wrong. I'm wondering how many people have rebooked before Disney have said even if you have made this park reservation there is a possibility you won't get in. I am probably reading too much into it as I have faith that Disney wouldn't do that to people.

Yes, but also if the park is at capacity (pre Covid, usually only a few days a year at MK) they close it to new guests in phases. So similar wording has always been around, but It was largely acknowledged that as long as you weren't there at peak holiday time you were getting in.
