Hmm. We have a week planned in early December and they haven't asked us anything. I would think they would send an e-mail or bump something through MDE. Nothing yet. They had shown the hours for the parks on our MDE up until now and they only show Open-Close now. I guess they probably don't really know now since they are a changing them often.
They have done this pretty much all year so I wouldn't think so.
Before I ultimately cancelled my November trip and re-booked for next Spring, we started getting reports of folks being asked to move from a resort, (my reservation), that hadn't been announced as opening for my time frame to other resorts, for the same price. I called my TA and she not only moved my reservation, but they actually upgraded my room type to Water View for the same price as my original reservation.
just got mine for our Nov 8th trip!
Oh yeah, long before that. Was originally a March, then May then we gave up and moved it to December. 3rd time is a charm sort of thing.
We received email from Disney Destinations this morning, detailing the changes to expect to see and asking us to confirm our DVC reservations for December, made in January 2020 at the 11 month window. I told them Yes, we still plan to come!
Is this them just trying to see how many people are still planning on going as soon as possible .. so they know if they NEED (or want) to open up certain other resorts? (and if they need to increase the reservation system capacity?)
They’ve been doing this since reopening. It just gives them a better view of if those rooms will still be filled. I think without the cancellation penalties people are keeping reservations until a day before or very soon to the reservation and then cancelling. This just gets a few more people to cancel earlier.
