I noticed this as well. This afternoon the webpage said 3 and up. Now it says 2 and up. My youngest just turned 2 in April....

I just got my email for cancellation of my August ADRs.

Same here, just got the email.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

It was 3 and up, same as tickets.

SeaWorld was the outlier who proposed 2 and up.

 

[MickeyWaffles]

Could have sworn it was 2 when they first made announcements

It was 3 when they announced, same as ticketing age.

That was fast

Are you staying through a package, resort, dvc?

 

[Raggou]

Same here, just got the email.

When was your trip date? Still havent seen anything for July yet....

Also though this tidbit was interesting You’ll also be provided with early access to book new dining and experiences. And we’ll be contacting you shortly regarding that process as well. For those who have received the email

I also have 10 plus days in July and September, I think it was rumored that if you have resort stay you are guaranteed a day for each night, but 3 to start then pick a park for each additional day. I have 2 resort stays
I'm just guessing like everybody else but if you are a local AP then maybe a lottery type sign up at first...could be bad news for the live streamers

Ahhhh OK that would make more sense.

Same with me I have 2 resort stays. That would be much better being guaranteed since u already have a resort booked.

Replying to my own post to add.... The face masks available on ShopDisney have in fine print that they are NOT to be worn by those younger than 4. So they are requiring them but don't want the liability of selling them.

I hope people who paid with gift cards for their dining plans kept their gifts cards, otherwise they are never going to see their money again. The refunds will go back to the gift card/cards use to pay for the plan. Part of me thinks that might be part of the motivation behind this. Free money for Disney.

You can call and explain to them that you no longer have your Disney gift card that was used. I had to do that for canceled VAH tickets and they just sent me a new electronic gift card with the credit on it.

In the past, if you didn't keep the GCs you used to pay off anything pertaining to your trip, they would mail you a new one with the refund on it. They don't advertise it but they help you out. Hopefully they keep that up.

If only the executives read this forum...The Disney Parks would be very magical (not sarcastic either; Literally)

I’m staying through DVC and just booked the ADRs with no dining plan.

I do have a July 4 one night stay with ADRs. No email yet. But then again I never recieved the email for my latest resort cancellation that I should have gotten 2 weeks ago for June 10..

Well now the more I think about it, the "buckel up" from a couple of pages could well very be the only 3 days to AP holders at first and then once those 3 are done you can choose more.

That would really be a shot in the arm for most AP holders.

I'm not an AP holder but I swear I remember reading tonight that what they were saying was if you are an AP holder you would get three ahead of everyone else, (regular ticket holders) and after those you are thrown in with us commoners That's what I recall anyhow.

But how does that work in the future when you can make ADRs 60 days out? How would you know if you could get a reservation in that park if it was your 4th, 5th, 6th day of a week long trip?

Well there goes the lightsaber and droid my kids have been saving up for for over a year!

Same. That was our main reason to go. Both my boys have birthdays the end of June

 

[DisneyWishes14]

Um has any of the other parks required people to make res

The forums...I have lost track cause I didn't save the whole discussion people were having...I just took notes...We will have to wait and see though. Everything is pure speculation until Disney makes the official announcement

Yes, Shanghai required guests to make reservations to enter the theme park each day. Apparently it worked and Disney is transferring the concept to WDW. Beats guests showing up en masse and having to be turned away at the parking lots. DeSantis doesn't care if WDW is taking reservations for their parks or canceling guest experiences.

Does anyone know the significance of the September 26, 2021 date? Like, why until that day? Why not extend no DDP for example through the end of 2021, if you want to cover your bases?

Disney's fiscal year ends in late September - I'm assuming it may have something to do with that?

Man I feel so much better that my trip was cancelled. I can’t keep a mask on my 2 year old.

Remy posted something along those lines last night, but I asked and he clarified that the 3-day thing would be for APs without hotel reservations (so just locals visiting for the day or whatever) - APs with hotel rooms would get to make reservations for the length of their hotel stay.

for the 2 and up on mask they also released a new video on safety
