Superthread for Disneyland Resort Closure and Reopening, 3/14/20 - 7/17/20: Please Post All Relevant Questions and Information Here!

Okay, that helps. Maybe I will call in a few days and see what they can do. Thanks.

It's going to be interesting to see when Newsom will allow Disney to open in California. I suspect Disney World will get to open more quickly than us.

I would do what wonkakid does and walk the perimeter every week

Ugh, that would be torture, but bittersweet torture. Part psychological in that at least I know it's physically there, and didn't just go away like the end of Indiana Jones 4.

It would be torture to walk around there and not be able to go in. I actually haven't gone anywhere in about 7 1/2 weeks, except the swimming pool in my backyard.

https://disneyland.disney.go.com/travel-information/Website has been updated to say that reservations can be made after July 1.

Hmmm I wonder where I stand. I am booked at the DLH June 28-July 3.

It looks like you're eligible for the rebooking offer if you're interested in it.

Oof. That's cutting it a little close to our anticipated July 2 arrival date.

Yip. I just saw this right now.

Translation: my vacation booked for the first week of June just went DOWN THE CRAPPER!!!!!!! So ticked off! Haven't been since 2017. Finally get a chance to go. ...Nope.

We need you back! Good luck with planning.

Man, that sucks. By the way, curious if your a Florida grad based on your user name?

I will be keeping an eye out to see if the discounted room promotion for impacted guests is extended beyond October. Hopefully anyone who calls to rebook will report back here!

I already have a "backup" early July reservation to potentially replace my late June reservation... but that's as late as I can go due to us having a weird (early) school year here. But I am thinking July really isn't looking much more hopeful at the moment

My apologies if this has been answered already but I couldn't find it...

We have 5 day park hoppers (we were supposed to be there over Easter). Luckily they were Canadian resident ones so they are extended to May. However, depending on how things go, we are thinking we could maybe swing a few days in November... but definitely not 5.

Can we apply 3 of our 5 days to a November trip and save 2 for later? I'm going to guess no, but thought it doesn't hurt to ask...

You could, but then those two tickets will be dangling and who knows when you'll use them again? Cancel them and get a refund. You'll make money on the refund because of the crappy exchange rate!

We're in AZ, so we start school the second week of August. Plan C is October - which I REALLY don't want to do, because I miss the REAL Haunted Mansion.

This should not surprise anyone, if they’ve been following Governor Newsome. There is no way Disneyland is opening June 1. I mean, he’s just now allowing some retail to open for curbside on Friday, May 8. For anyone to think we go from that to Disneyland being open June 1 is just wishful thinking. It’s sad, but true. Hopefully we see very positive numbers during our phased reopenings here in California over the next month, setting up for Disneyland to open sometime later this summer.

Agreed. But since we're not supposed to be speculating dates, I think it makes sense for everyone to look at what's been happening at Shanghai Disney since January. It will give you a good idea what and when things will likely happen at Disneyland.

The original rebooking offer ended in early October, but this new one (see post above) seems to allow booking until December? I am going to call tomorrow and see what they say, as I have a GCH reservation starting 5/31 that is going to need to be canceled/changed now. I’ll post back with my experience.

We are also in AZ, but we start school around the third week of July... plus two weeks of (high school) band before that... so... yeah.

Plus I agree about HM!

The original rebooking message indicated it was good through the end of the year but I called on two different occassions and was told it specifically ended on October 4th. I’ll be interested in hearing if they have now extended it beyond October but it’s probably not likely at this time given that it is normally really busy anyways after that date so they don’t have a need (much less a desire at this point) to try and book even more people during the last couple of months.

Reminder, everyone: Please do not use this thread to discuss what you think Disney might do with reopening the parks or how that might look. There are other threads on other boards for those discussions. Keep this thread focused on what we know now from official sources. Thank you.

I missed this the first time, but Chapek said on the earnings call that the reopening of the park has to make economic sense.

“We would not reopen any park until we can make a positive contribution to overhead and operating-profit level,” (Bob Chapek, 5/5/20 Q2 earnings call).

I think that’s about as specific as it’ll get from DIS about reopening the parks in the US...until it’s actually time to throw the gates open, unfortunately.

My Lamplight Lounge reservation is still on my account, but on the website I just tried to make a reservation for the same day and its now showing as none available.
