Ugh. I guess it will be a while until we get back to the parks. ☹

Us too I think

Very interesting. Thanks! I wish there had been more details re: bag check. Are the inspectors themselves physically touching items in bags (like they have in the past)?

I posted this in July thread, but I called Disneyland to book a hotel and was told Disneyland has not announced an opening date, which is why you can’t book in park reservation. They are only taking hotel reservations starting July 1. If the park doesn’t open hotel reservations will be automatically cancelled. I asked some other questions and was just told they have been told no information.

I'm a little jealous that Shanghai Disneyland open first before Disneyland Ca. But I'm happy that SHDL is the first Disney park that opens.

We’re due to fly out from England mid September but not sure if we will be allowed to fly.
We have 5 day park hoppers which are valid through the end of January, are Disney extending the expiry date on these?
We’re worried we may lose out on these.
Thank you.

Thank you.

After the expiration date, the monetary value of your tickets remain intact. You can use that value to use towards a valid set of tickets for your next visit.

Well, Shanghai did close 2 month prior to the US parks.

Premier Pass Holders ---- Not sure if anyone has called and asked this question...

I have a Premier Pass (the AP for both DL and WDW). If the parks open on different schedules (which seems highly likely), do we know when the calendar will restart?

I called the DLR AP line on Sunday and asked if they are using the DLR or WDW closure dates for the Premier Pass and the CM told me that she was only given the information pertaining to the DLR closure. I expect I will get a similar answer if I called WDW and asked the same question.

I think until Disney releases something specific to Premier Passholders we're going to be left in the information void.

For anyone that had hotel reservations that have been canceled and issued a voucher/discount code for rebooking later on...

The $50 resort credit. Does it specifically say what that can be used for? Does the DLH have much "resort fee" type stuff? Could it be applied toward parking or onsite dining? Is the credit per night?

Has anyone rebooked a longer trip then they originally had? Does the credit apply for every night you book, or just a $50/night credit for as many original nights you had book?

In the CNBC clips of the opening yesterday security searched bags like they do at US parks.

First two paragraphs from this morning's LA Times article:

Los Angeles County’s stay-at-home orders will “with all certainty” be extended for the next three months, county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer acknowledged during a Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.

Although county health officer Dr. Muntu Davis has not issued an official extension, Ferrer said that timeline would shorten only if there was a “dramatic change to the virus and tools at hand.”

This will probably have some influence on Orange County officials' recommendations/orders...

My husband was confident that Disneyland will re-open by Labor Day...I think it's very iffy.

I originally had a 4 night trip to GCH that was supposed to happen two weeks ago. When we heard about the discount and credit we decided to reschedule for 7 nights. We got the discount AND the $50 a night credit for all 7 nights. I was told that upon check-in the $350 resort credit will be applied to our room charges, and that anything charged to the room would automatically come out of the credit, including food, souvenirs,etc. We are now crossing our fingers that the last week of September will actually happen.

Can you charge anything in the park to your room?

This will be my first stay on property, so I'm not 100% sure, but from what I've read online is that "most" things in the park will let you charge back to the room if they take credit cards. Exceptions being mobile vendors and some carts. I'm thinking that it will be really easy to spend the credit.

Yes, so long as they take cards you can charge it back to your room.

I was able to add nights also when I rebooked, and all nights received the discount and resort credit. The CM specifically said they were unsure if parking would be allowed on the resort credit. They told me to charge meals to the room with my room key. I have never done this at DLR, but we do it all the time with Magic Bands at WDW, so I guess it is the same. Just keep in mind that the last day for the room discount AND room credit is 10/3, whereas the last day for the resort credit only is 12/30.
