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

[yulilin3]

I’m sure this has been covered somewhere in the 165 pages, and if so I apologize. I haven’t paid attention to how tickets will work as an AP.

But now my family wants to visit in September and are asking me about tickets. If they are still limited capacity, how are they going to determine who gets in since date specific tickets have already been purchased by many and possibly more than the allotted amount.

I assume park hoppers will not be honored for a while, and guest tickets will be blocked out.

There has been no announcement on anything related to wdw other than Disney springs reopening

I was referring to your post about next Friday and not about you being straightforward or being a negative person

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am just trying to think through the current situation and the timeline, makes me think we will here something this week. My guess is end of the week.

I have always thought Disney either opens by June 21st-ish or after July 4th because opening week of July 4th with no trial period sounds illogical.

So, while having our re-booked June reservations cancelled was disappointing, it may have actually been a blessing. We are now re-re-booked for Thanksgiving week, staying at AoA. Needless to say we are very excited. We have never been during the Holidays and figure this would be a perfect time to take our youngest two for their first trip. Of course, we know that crowds will be heavy during this time of year but at this point we will take it. This will be our first stay at AoA as well, and the reviews we read have been awesome. The location to the parks is great and it's a Skyliner resort. So, unless Disney decides to not open this year we will be having turkey dinner in WDW. Third time is a charm, right?

. I miss Disney, hoping for updates soon. Hoping for a July 1st opening date, but being so close to the 4th, that might not be smart. Maybe a week later. Hoping for some news on Wednesday. I think we will finally get some general idea of how long reopening would take if all goes well

I penciled in maybe going in October, but lets see how the phases go and what they actually say will happen with the parks. I think for me to feel comfortable I need a good 2 months of everything being happy at Disney before I have the guts to go without fear. In the meantime I will order some more candles from Magic Candle Company to use my imagination of things I remember. Pirate life is GOLD!

Worst case, see you May 2021 Mickey. At least tinker bell is safe. She's sliding down that zipline by herself. 100' away from every body.

For the people that might not know, this thread is to discuss procedural changes at wdw that have been CONFIRMED and your changes in plans to come due to the virus, so the only thing we know rn is Disney springs procedures
This page shouldn't be moving all that much
I know you're bored and i know you might not have anything else to do but back and forth on an off topic subject will not fly here
There are like 4 different threads in the community board (for fun forum) where you can talk about the virus, the areas mostly hit, the data
Also posting about how off topic someone's post is doesn't help, use the report button and the mods will get to it
Don't feed the off topic posts
Warning and points were given and I hate to do that but repeated offenders don't learn i guess

We'll be there at AOA too during Thanksgiving week! We go every year during Thanksgiving and I absolutely love it. The resorts are so pretty, and it is a such a good 'kick off to Christmas' feeling - without the Christmas crowds!

not sure how long their system takes but you can call and they will open your fp capabilities for your stay even if the tickets are not extended yet
I did this, I had AP that expired yesterday and I called and since the ap cannot be extended rn until they know the number of days they will be extended for, they opened the fp for my travel dates (which were June, first week) and I was able to book fps

What phone number did you call for this? TIA

We have the same situation, but our thrid booking is September and my whole family is now super excited for the Halloween decoractions and FW festival. I really hope 3rd time is a charm!

Today's reminder from Disney.

"An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death," reads a disclaimer on the Disney World website. "By visiting Walt Disney World Resort, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19."

I saw that today essentially Disney is saying, "we can not tell people that dining is more important than shopping". It is crazy you could drive all that way and be rejected. I am most curious if this will result in massive quantities of people circling round and round in the garage itself or will they have to find creative ways to circle up and down the main drive. The nearby hotels may see a massive uptick in illegal parking.

Sorry in advance if this has already been asked.
Any predictions on how the resorts might look after reopening? Less capacity? do you think the pools will be open?
and
Any predictions on If the parks open at less capacity will resort guests have first crack at admission or first-come-first-serve?
Thanks from Buffalo NY
