Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[IceSkatingPrincess]

I got my email (finally)! It doesn't say which trip it is for. Here is the latest on the key information if anyone is still tracking wording changes:

"In addition, we will also be introducing a new Theme Park reservation system. You will receive access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. "

And there it is . As many of us said, give Disney a chance, and would you look at that, 35% off.

Will it be perfect for everyone? No. Will some people have preferred DDP? Yes. But IMO it’s a good discount and will put a lot (not all) people ahead financially especially considering restrictions there may be on restaurants, TS in particular.

I just got the email indicating they will remove dining from my package, give me 35% off and I will receive a new invoice indicating what I owe/will be refunded.

Dang it Disney! I had decided to go with Universal (buy 2 days, get 2 free) and then you do this to me...

edit: had free dining recovery July 18-26. I had upgraded to regular dining. Staying at POP.

I got the same email. Unfortunately my trip was June 24-27. I hope they give me a code for 35% November trip.

So... I wanna start a debate. Who do you think gets priority (specifically for park access) Regular on Property Resort Guests or DVC or AP in what order?

Just between these 3

1. On property guests with tickets or APs
2. DS hotel guests with tickets or APs
3. APs in general

might want to hold off until you find out what will actually be open at Disney. Universal will have an almost 6 weeks jump so a lot of their stuff might be open by your dates where as Disney will still be in early stage of opening.

AP first. Then DVC guests with tickets. Then on site guests with tickets.

I don’t think technically DVC is entitled to park access. Only the resort. This may annoy a lot of guests - perhaps enough to make them cancel.

Does “active reservation” mean those who have June reservations with the free dining are out of luck??

I finally got an email! Woo!

I had June free dining because of a cancelled March trip and I received the 35% off email. They’re kindly going to send me an updated invoice for my (cancelled) June trip reflecting the discount.

Anyone know how to sign up to receive AP emails?

I haven’t gotten any of the AP ones from Disney, and no cancellation emails either. But I can see in the app things are dropping one by one.

I received AP emails my first year (4 years ago) and non since. Don't know how to get that fixed. Not even calling is a guarantee of rectifying the situation. I've seen posts here of people who tried but still never received emails.

 

[Jaxs27]

So if you have/had a reservation before they are opening you won't get the 35% off?

 

[Taylor'sMom]

Finally got my email, with the 35% off mention

 

[WonderlandisReality]

So character dining (and it appears like Shanghai's updated version too) is now officially added to canceled experiences

Where was this information?

 

[chad_1138]

Just received the email about the 35% adjustment on our free dining res for July 5-17

 

[MrsSmith07]

I would assume. I know for sure it’s the plaids you book for front of line access.

For me, this one hurts the most.

 

[chicagoshannon]

AP first. Then DVC guests with tickets. Then on site guests with tickets.

I don’t think technically DVC is entitled to park access. Only the resort. This may annoy a lot of guests - perhaps enough to make them cancel.

They don't want DVC to cancel. It's already a cluster with points for the next while becaue they closed the resorts.

Is this our first real bit of character dining info? I think we had just speculated what they might do, right?

That is a huge reason to pull back the DDP. People would be PISSED.

This is our first news on it yes. Definitely not unexpected though.
