[mouschievous]

On the left navigation options, click the one for Covid 19 County Level Data, then click through to the Data and Tools page.

On the left nav here, scroll and click to Covid 19 in the State under Data Dashboards.

Click Orange on the list of counties on the left (currently third on the list) This will give you a historical graph of number of positive cases going back to March. You can see how much the OC cases have jumped in recent weeks.

ETA - for comparison. Click on Los Angeles, first on the list, to see how others graphs are different. The LA graph has gone steadily up over the time while the OC graph was relatively consistently low until maybe a month ago, then increased significantly.

Thank you!

I didn’t get an email but I called. The CM said I should’ve got a call for my August 9th check in. The CM also said the hotels won’t be open for the month of August. I was one of the ones that had my DLH reservation upgraded to GCH. The rep told me if I wanted to keep GCH for the same price I reserved for DLH I was going to have to stay there no later than September. If I wanted to move my date past September I was going to be moved back to DLH (Since they’re scheduled to open Oct 1st) unless I wanted to pay GCH prices.

Thanks -- I'll post an update on the first page with this news.

TAs were notified via email from Disney. And it’s only official through 8/22. Disney has not cancelled the whole month of Aug despite what the previous posters phone CM said.

(The pattern has been a rolling week at a cancellation around Thursday so prob tune in next week for Disney to flush out the rest of Aug )

Here's the cancellation email we received, just confirming what has been said above. We were to check into PP on August 17th.

July 23, 2020 Dear Guest,

​

We are sorry to inform you that your upcoming visit with us will be impacted by several closures. We recognize that the COVID-19 situation is constantly evolving, and there are many factors that are helping us determine the timing of when various aspects of our business will reopen in a responsible way. Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park remain closed and will reopen at a later date, pending state and local government approvals. The Hotels of the Disneyland Resort are also closed and will reopen at a later date. Given this unprecedented situation, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate through this process as responsibly as we can. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to accommodate your upcoming hotel room reservation. If you have already modified or cancelled your upcoming Disneyland Resort hotel room reservation or Walt Disney Travel Company vacation package, no further action needs to be taken. To provide additional flexibility, we are waiving Disney-imposed change and cancellation fees up to the date of check-in for reservations with arrivals through August 22, 2020. If you are unable to reach us before your check-in date for such time period, you will not be penalized or assessed Disney-imposed fees for cancelling your Disneyland Resort hotel room reservation or Walt Disney Travel Company vacation package after your check-in date. Note that some package components are nonrefundable and subject to third-party operator cancellation policies. You should work directly with any third-party operators you have used to book any parts of your vacation package that were not booked through the Walt Disney Travel Company, including flights, travel protection and car rentals. To cancel or modify your reservation, please contact the Walt Disney Travel Company at (714) 520-5050 between the hours of 7:00 AM PST and 9:00 PM PST, 7 days a week. If you are a Canada resident, please call (800) 496-6337. If you originally booked through a Travel Professional, please reach out to them directly if you have questions or would like to reschedule. We do anticipate heavy call volume and appreciate your patience as we work hard to respond to all inquiries.

Sincerely, Disney Destinations, LLC

If you have the 35% off room rate for August, I wonder if they will apply it to a later reservation if I rebook/modify my August reservation? I have gotten called about it but they left a VM saying my 8/4 reservation needed to be canceled or modified. They did not indicate if I would get the discount on a later booking. They did say I could not book for any earlier than 8/23/20. I think that is optimistic at best.

I will try to call this weekend and see what they say.

When they called to talk about my reservation for next week, they said I could rebook later and still receive the discount up until October (early- but I forget the actual day). However, since I didn’t immediately rebook, I will lose my resort credit they gave me.

I have rebooked twice now and received my discount so, I dont see why you wouldn't.

I called and asked and was told only if I modify to the oct date or prior. They’re not extending the offer.

 

[thetasigma1186]

I was told the offer ends 10/3. So as long as you re-book by then, you get the discounts. Kind of a bummer as I have to delay later than that.

I'm very curious as i have reservations for DLH 8/2-8/8 and have not received any cancellation. Based on everything here, I'm assuming it is, they just haven't contacted me.
Edit to add: I just logged into my reservation and it is still showing as active

We were booked the same days at GCH and received an email last Thursday. I wonder if it is because DLH was not scheduled to be open anyway?
