    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    When people state rumors as facts, it's disconcerting: https://www.disboards.com/threads/resort-change-by-disney.3802935/page-2#post-61950512

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    No, you did not always post it was "subject to change". And it is still a fact that things I've been told by DSM's do not come to fruition. Nobody ever questioned that people may be moved. Chapek himself stated that some resorts will not open to media outlets (official source!). That is not...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    When people state rumors as facts on this thread (and on the resorts thread, BTW) and then actually link to other posts and, incorrectly, use them to try to support their "facts", I take issue with that. The poster who did this already admitted they made a mistake and that is appreciated. I'm...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    That is, assuming, other resorts will be open by July 11. We haven't even gotten confirmation of that yet! When the reservation system opens back up and you call to inquire about this, ask the CM if they can take the tickets off and make your reservation a "basic package" which is...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    The problem is, it was presented as fact on this thread and on the resorts thread. It was stated as fact and then, as the posts continued, caveats such as "subject to change" were finally thrown in but not before people took it as fact and it spiraled into fights about DVC, discounts and people...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Oh, you’re so welcome! Happy to contribute real, on the ground info of what goes on when you are an Earmarked TA. The post you are referring to was posted last Thursday before announcements were made and the reservation system was shut down. The poster was referring to upgrades that happened...

    Resort Change by Disney

    I would call WDW and have them note "travel with" on the reservations. That way, they will be able to see you are traveling as one party although you have two rooms and two separate reservation numbers. It's probably already on there since you requested connecting rooms, but it doesn't hurt to...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    The hole Disney is digging is getting deeper and deeper. "Guest recovery" is not going to go well for them and I think that sentiment is going to last for years.

    Resort Change by Disney

    In terms of rumors (as it's only rumors as of now!), CSR seems to be the front runner as the one and only resort the NBA would use. They will most likely only have 20 to 22 teams participating at WDW, so with players, plus coaches, training staff, media, etc. they would have more than enough...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Fellow TA here ( :wave2:) - it's not official until it's official. Word-of-mouth from a DSM is not an official announcement from Disney and, particularly in these times, should be taken with a grain of salt. We were given, what turned out to be, inaccurate info from our DSM just a few weeks...

    What DVC resorts are comparable that YC guests would be moved to?

    You can find rack rates for all resorts here if that helps at all: https://www.mousesavers.com/2020-disney-world-room-rates-season-dates/

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    I agree with you on all of these. I would add POR to the closures and keep both PO resorts closed. I also think they have to consider keeping AoA open, otherwise, where do you put the parties of 6 all with guests 3 and over? They will be hard to transfer to another resort unless they have a...

    Are they shifting guests to different resorts?

    When reservations opens back up, I would call WDW (or your TA) and request these reservations be linked together as a "travel with". Hopefully that will give whomever is changing resorts around and assigning rooms a heads up that you all need to stay together. I would also have requests such...

    Ticket Dilemma- In a Pickle

    There is no harm in linking the PH now. If you discover you need or want different tickets for the trip (and you are able to purchase them), you can then link those new tickets to your profiles as well and either ask guest services to "prioritize" the tickets you want to use prior to entering...

    Are they shifting guests to different resorts?

    That is an e-mail from a TA. No one has gotten moved yet. Notice they mention everyone is being moved to DVC and then lists Ft. W as one of the resorts . . . . .

    Two bedroom villa questions

    If you go to Mousesavers.com, they list rack rates for all resorts, so you can get a ballpark cost there: https://www.mousesavers.com/2020-disney-world-room-rates-season-dates/ I have gotten discounts on 2-bedrooms, but with the current capacity limitations, future discounts are anyone's...

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

    My suggestion to anyone who finds themselves with the 35% off room offer but does not need or want the tickets anymore - when you call in to WDW (or if you are working with a TA), ask them if you can keep your room as a "basic package" and keep the 35% promo without the tickets. A "basic...

    Will Disney release 2021 packages early?

    Yes, this is called a "basic package". It's essentially a room-only reservation but under package terms and conditions. By booking a basic package now, a guest will be able to add on tickets and/or dining (if they ever make it available again) without having to do a cancel-and-re-book. If...

    Possible guest recovery?

    The problem is, promos are used to incentivize people to book. They are doing their darnedest to incentivize people NOT to book at this point. And, if they have to keep capacity low for any length of time, I don't think we are going to see any discounts for anyone until 2021, maybe later. At...
