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

[Ejw5]

I have read all of the information so many times, and I’m still confused because this is the first trip we have ever rented points from a DVC owner. We have a room booked for January 23 through January 30, 2021 at the boardwalk villas. Obviously we do not have tickets yet because we were going to purchase them in June when 2021 ticket sales began, and that never happened. When should I be able to purchase tickets? Is it the 28th?

I'm confused, does this mean a one month extension in addition to the closure extension? So my pass that was extended to 12/2/20 will be extended again to 1/2/21 in October?

You're not the only one! The wording is pretty bad. It reads like all we're getting is a one month extension. I for one will wait for "the email". Good luck to you!

By June 28, all Guests will be able to purchase new Disney Resort hotel packages and theme park tickets and make their park reservations for arrivals starting in 2021 as our phased reopening continues. Guests will be able to view park reservation availability online prior to purchasing their tickets.

Later this summer, we will resume sales of 2020 tickets and Disney Resort hotel arrivals, based on availability of park reservations, while we continue to provide Guests with existing tickets and Annual Passholders the opportunity to make park reservations for 2020 dates.

Sounds right to me.

I assume one person can reserve for all in their planning party(?)

So if I’m understanding correctly if we have hotel reservations for October 20-25th.. so five nights, but only purchased a 3 day ticket, we make 3 days worth of park reservations within our 5 days. Right? They don’t have to be in order right?

 

[RhodyKP]

with all that's going on I am confused. I now have reservations onsite for April 2021. The park reservation system opening up Monday June 22. So I can make reservations starting Monday.

I believe that's only if you have already bought tickets. If you haven't, I believe you can buy them and make your reservations at the same time on 6/24.

I'm a little confused about park reservation system. we have onsite reservations for April 2021. so do I start making reservations for the parks on Monday June 22

I am in almost the exact same situation and I am going to try to confirm today or over the weekend that we fall into the category of people who have 2021 resort only reservations, but no tickets bought yet, which *should* mean we can both by tickets and make park reservations for our stay on 6/24.

merged you to the existing thread. Please ready post 1 with the most updated info
The answer to your question is, it appears to be yes, you can start booking your park reservation on Monday 7am

Let me know what you find out! Did you rent DVC points as well?

I’m so confused. So there aren’t allowing us to buy annual passes again. It’s closed down but on 28th if I have aDVC room booked I can?

I can’t I just got off phone with DVC and they said as of this morning no more ap sales allowed

@soniam didn't you say you just bought ap?

 

[jimim]

So I have a room reservation.

@soniam didn't you say you just bought ap?

i don’t know if they closed it off hours ago or what but they told me no more sales. This is whacky. It’s almost not even worth it. I can’t love my life checking a website everyday to see if things or go or no. I’ll just cx my room If need be. Come June 28th people r going to flock to book next year and at same time book parks. Things will fill up fast.

AP purchases were suspended about an hour ago.

I called to upgrade my Gold (voucher) to Platinum and was told new purchases and upgrades had just been suspended.

Not happy as I won't be able to make any park reservations for December.

right so what do u do if u have a room reservation. U kinda need passes. this is so confusing I almost need to have an ap non ending of this is how it will be in the future going forward.

 

[Tinks]

We are in the same situation. I called today. Those without tickets are stuck. They will not allow you to purchase the ticket until June 28th. So you are out of luck for not buying before they shut everything online down.

Not quite fair but that's what I was told.

 

[jimim]

exactly what I was told. So the 28th I try if parks are booked up for my jan trip I cx it.
