That original rumour had 35% off for those who got cancelled and were on free dining.
I think they likely will see some incentive for rebooking, even if it isn’t that exact offer. And 35% off is a great offer IMO. Especially if they let you apply it wherever you want.
Not really. In just about any other normal time, you may see 15-25-30% off room-only rate. Sometimes even up to 40%. Now, I understand that this is not a normal time, and those discounts may be gone for the foreseeable future.
But considering many of these people probably got a discount on the original cancelled reservation, this isn't really THAT much of a deal. And considering the rack rates may go up significantly (may, I don't know), these people even with a 35% discount may be paying more to go. So, really, they are getting no goodwill gesture for their inconvenience at this point. Disney did right by offering people a reparation for their trips being cancelled. Also not letting Disney off the hook here; remember that it was
Disney who waited until days before to make a decision on cancelling. So, having strung many of these people along until the last minute, it's the least Disney could do to offer the dining promotion.
Now, if it is 35% off PLUS free dining, I'd say great. If it was 35% off the whole package, including tickets, including dining, I'd say fine. But 35% room discount really isn't that much of a gesture. Now, listen, I know Disney doesn't HAVE to do anything. But, considering how they strung along so many people until the very last minute in the first place, PLUS booking a package that they now are not honoring...35% seems low to me.
Side note: Early Morning Magic appears to no longer be on the park hours calendar, except for July 11th, which is weird.
MNSSHP is still there, so take that for what it's worth. Not sure if that's a good sign for MNSSHP. I think we all expected EMM to not be happening; but the fact that some hard-ticket events are still on the schedule...I dunno.
