The $100,000 question.September crowds are usually low. Even with reduced capacity, I'm wondering if there will really be a noticeable difference in the crowds or will it be a normal September...
This is what I received today for my September reservation with free dining (summer promo not bounce back My reservation still says free dining. An Important Walt Disney World Update |
As we plan for the reopening of our Disney Resort Hotels and Theme Parks, we are keeping the wellbeing of our Guests and Cast in mind. And we’re here to help you as we introduce new procedures focused on delivering an enjoyable and magical experience for everyone who visits. To manage attendance and foster physical distancing during this unprecedented time, we’ve changed—and even suspended—some dining and other experiences. In addition, we will also be introducing a new Theme Park reservation system as well. We’ll send you details on this new system shortly. Unfortunately, these new measures have required us to cancel dining reservations and experience reservations you may have made. We recognize the inconvenience this poses and we’re deeply sorry. There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We’ll be contacting you soon with details on the process of re-booking dining and other experiences—now available 60 days prior to arrival to allow for planning closer to your visit. At this time, while systems update, we are temporarily suspending all modifications. However, you have the option of canceling your entire reservation. We’re putting great thought into helping you return to the magic and appreciate your patience. For more information, please visit disneyworld.com, call 407-W-DISNEY (934-7639), or contact your travel professional or Member Services. Select third party operated restaurants and certain other experiences may not be cancelled. |
I still haven't got an email. We are booked first week of September, dining, park hoppers plus......I got the dreaded email from Disney. Based on this: However, because you have valid Theme Park admission, you will have access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. I am guessing that anyone without theme park admission is definitely second tier regardless of reservation. At least for now.

Why did your agent suggest rescheduling rather than just working through these changes?
While I understand the reasoning I feel it's a shame the suggestion at this point was to cancel/ rebook. This early I am not suggesting Sept clients cancel yet; while we do not know that those experiences would return by Sept. it's still months away, with plenty of time to see how things are upon reopening to make a better informed decision. Whenever you end up going I hope you all have a magical time!DD will be 18 months in September, so a big part of this trip is going to be her firsts. Not having character meet and greets, parades, and fireworks are important for that type of trip, so not having them really dilutes the whole experience. Missing that stuff wouldn't have been a big deal if it were just the wife and I, but it's obviously a pretty big deal with the baby. I don't know that it makes the most sense to pay what we're paying and not have those elements for her, which is why our agent suggested rescheduling or cancelling.
I have no idea what we're going to do now lol i feel like at this point I'm on info overload.I received the generic email yesterday too. I was happy to see that it stated since we already have valid tickets we would have priority on reservations (dining, etc.) once the new system was in place. I wasn't sure since we technically have military salute tickets, though they were already linked and FP's made from our original April trip. So glad to hear they still "count" as real Disney tickets!
I looked in the MDE app and it still shows all of my adr's except Boma. I guess they will be slowly canceling them. I am glad I'm still old school and write down everything on paper. I had all my original FP's written down too in hopes I could try to get close to them when we were able to pick them again.
Now that I'm looking at new hours (which I realize could be changed by the time Sept. rolls around) I am kind of re-thinking our plans. For example, our 1st day we were going to have breakfast at Boma at 8:30 then spend most of the day in AK which would have been open till 8. MK was going to be closed early for MNSSHP but Epcot and HS would still have been open so we could hop. Now I'm thinking since AK is open 8-6 (and we're not sure if park hopping will be allowed) we should do early breakfast at the resort or grab something small at AK, still eat lunch at Satuli Canteen as planned, and either do dinner at Boma or even another resort and save the Boma breakfast for a morning when we're going to HS or Epcot, since they're not showing opening till 10 or 11. So many things to consider! DH is laughing at me since he says he knows I love to plan- yea, and HE gets all the benefits of having a chill vacation because of all my planning!
Anyone else considering changes in HOW you plan your day based on what we currently know?
