Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[mhautz]

Let's wait and see if this rumor and what this TA got told turns out to be true before getting upset at disney about it.

Exactly. Even with Deluxe Resorts, that would be an extremely low occupancy for the resort. Maybe there are things in the background I don't know that make it reasonable, but for now it's just that, a rumor.

I'm not sure I believe it, but mostly because I'm staying at All-Star Music and I couldn't be so lucky

Maybe you will get moved to the room in Cinderella's Castle? I hear social distancing is good there.

First off please realize I have no gripes with your friend and appreciate you sharing the info.

I am PISSED Disney has a plan that they have apparently deemed a few select TAs worthy of knowing but have not told the majority of Disney TAs nor have they told their own directly booked customers. That’s not right. It’s not right to the other TAs who now look incompetent even though it’s all Disney’s doing. It’s not right for the direct booked with Disney clients who are being putting at the end of the info food chain.

Remember you’re hearing 2nd hand information with no way to verify. At this point it’s little more than rumor and conjecture- just like all those insider tidbits we got that turned out to be totally wrong.

I’m afraid there are going to be an awful lot of people who are going to be disappointed if they end up not getting a 1 or 2 br Villa out of their value stay. My suggestion is to put the brakes on and temper your expectations. Just because it’s what you want to hear doesn’t mean it’s true.

Heck wouldn’t even have to go that far for us. One of those overwater bungalows at the Poly or a Copper Creek cabin would suit us

Very true. I'm expecting to be in Pop which is what I booked (if I go). I just think they are going to want to open the skyliner resorts So at least one of Pop/AoA and CBR I expect to be open.

Any buzz on whether the reservation lines for modifications will re-open tomorrow? I recall others saying CMs were expected to get their scripts today (not entirely sure what that means)?

I'd be surprised.

If I'm perfectly honest I picked a suite at ASM hoping it could get upgraded to AoA. But now all this speculation just means I'm going to be mad if that's all that happens.

I don’t think so. They’re going to keep reservations frozen until people with current reservations can reserve park access.

 

[Auntrosie]

Same situation here

Probably 100 people have asked you this but....you have checked you Junk email right?

Don't let speculation make you mad. Just ask all the "WDW will open June 1" people. Not helpful.

LOL...I know (hopefully my sarcasm came through). I have a suspicion that almost all the resorts are going to be open anyway. Well, maybe not CS due to the NBA.

I HAVE a current reservation for the closure period (July 5-11), but was hoping to modify to arrive on the 12th. All the talk about "those with current reservations" is so confusing... is it current reservations after the reopening, or current reservations that could be for dates when they are closed?

Mine was in my Promotions folder on Gmail, which was odd since Disney Destinations e-mails usually appear in prinary, so I almost missed mine.

These days it is hard to tell sarcasm from now...

You have a reservation for July 11th. However your check-in date is before they will open so it is still possible they will cancel your whole reservation. That we just don't know yet if they will give you an option to modify.

I took a 33 hour break from this Thread and just poked back in and read the last 10 pages and y’all until there’s some actual hard news, Im back to the break. I suggest maybe everyone else would benefit from the same - I can hear some of you biting your fingernails off!

Mine was located there as well. Strange

Yes, yes I am!

I am considering switching from BCV to another resort because the thought of staying at BCV and NOT having access to SAB makes everyone in my family so sad that we would rather just move resorts. Anyway, there isn’t much studio availability for our dates, just the usual suspects of SSR and OKW. I wish our waitlist hadn’t come through - we would have been better off at BWV where originally booked.

I suspect the majority of value/mod moves to DVC, if true, will be to SSR and OKW and deluxe guests will fill in the patchy availability at theme park adjacent DVC resorts.

I just looked at availability for DVC for the first week they're open. Some resorts have studios available but not every one. I was a bit surprised at how much availability there is. However even with all the availability there are not enough rooms in DVC to accommodate everyone that has a room booked unless way more people have canceled than anyone thinks.

If you are moved to a DVC resort you will be able to use whatever is open at the resort.
