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

[yulilin3]

That's great that you were able to book Homecoming for your trip! I guess it is because you are inside your 60 day window??

I have a reservation at CR for July 1st. The only options showing for dining reservations are
Homecoming, STK, house of blues , frontera cocina. Wolfgang Puck, TRex

And Morimoto. Boathouse and WBG are available on OT.
I am trying to take a screenshot but MDE is being very glitchy.

Universal seems really prepared and I like that they won't require masks on water rides. They are giving guests a near full experience. I'm really rooting for them to do well. Disney should mimic them as much as they can.

In all fairness we don't know the exact procedures for Disney world. They are going to be similar to universal because that is what the task force agreed on I am on my way right now to universal for the past folder preview I will start streaming around 8:45 to check everything out before the rain comes

I think Disney will do something similar actually inside the Parks and these spots will be MORE popular than the attractions!lol

One possible spot that comes to mind would be the walkway from World Traveler up to the English Channel bridge in Epcot.

I am imaging in July we would be moving from one rest zone to the next more so then going to attractions. In the summer I drink water pretty much the entire time not on a ride since I am very sensitive to heat stroke. I am not sure the mask requirements will be for me.

Excited to hear how it goes.

I agree that we don't know much for sure right now because they haven't released anything, however I think by the comments they've made and the fact that water parks won't be open from the start seem to indicate they seem (or at least had - I hope their attitude is changing) to not be as willing to find ways or to try to make it as much of a full trip/experience as they could (safely) as other parks have indicated or have done. We'll see; hopefully things are different once they get closer to opening.

I know you said you found it... for others looking for a signature on a mobile device - turn it sideways (landscape mode) and the signatures show.

With apologies, some of the recent dining plan chatter was removed as it is venturing a little too close to unconfirmed speculation and/or inconsistent TA info territory, which we're mainly trying to avoid on this thread as it can get confusing.

Since Dining Plans and Dining Plan packages/offers are a rather unique/specific subset of theme park planning, sometimes detailed questions are better suited for the Disney Restaurants or Disney Resorts boards. Here are a few quasi - relevant threads for those inclined:

ALLDining plans and packages and adrs canceled, future 60 day adr window

Are you booked with a Free Dining Offer? Poll: Have you been contacted and what offer given?

I know all these topics overlap sometimes and that's OK, but more or less trying to keep it to confirmed theme parks. Thanks all.

My adrs have been cancelled for a few days now, but the emails are just coming through. I may have had a mini panic attack when I saw an email from Disney destinations with changes to upcoming reservation. I thought they were cancelling my July 22 room!! I hope we don't get cancelled because we booked on a TA discount (at all star movies) rather than through Disney. But last night I did book a DVC room at boardwalk 1 night prior to our upcoming trip so at least if anything that night should be a go. This feels like my trip when Irma came and got news of cancelling campground and how long it was going to be closed and having to change our plans, but this is worse since it is so far out!

Wonder how they are getting work done with all the rain this week.

So 12:30pm tomorrow the NBA board of governors should be voting to have Orlando host 22 NBA teams. Obviously this doesn't really divulge how much of the Disney Resort they would utilize, but if players, coaches, medical staff, and any press get to attend and bring families that would take up a good chunk of resort space possibly.

Might explain why they took away when the resorts are all reopening between the NBA and MLS agreements and anything else that may be necessary in order to ensure proper social distancing.

If the NBA gets it worked out to have the games at Disney, what date range would that be that the games start? Sorry if that has been mentioned before, I just don’t recall seeing dates

FYI, here's a thread with the latest discussion: NBA at Walt Disney World

It would be July 31 - Oct 1.

Thanks, didn't know if posting it here was still relevant to operations at Disney World in general.

..what if we are lucky and get into the parks we have selected, but on our HS day, ROTR goes down or we are impacted by a storm and can only do a fraction of the park because of the reduced hours. There's no way to try again the next day because you're not able to make any park day changes.

I think this is a really, really good point. This would be a trip with no “second chances.”
It’s really hard to have a good attitude when you have come this far, this close and it slips aways.
And yeah, Disney doesn’t guarantee anything but most people being adaptable can usually make most things work out.
