Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I finally got an email! Woo!

Me, too!!! Question on the 35% - if you booked under the sun and fun, is it an additional 35%, or is it off rack rate?

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

I agree, not at all unexpected.

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.

Hopefully we can use it on a future trip?

Know its early, but is it at least a fair assumption that there would be no Candlelight Processional this year , or too soon to know ?

I have yet to receive either email - i have a reservation july 23-28th with dining.

I just got this for my 7/7-14 stay at Pop. I am so confused and don’t want to contemplate what this means about when Pop will open (or not).

too soon

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

I think that DVC will get treated well in this. They have an awful lot of Riviera points to move in an economic downturn.

Was your dining free? It seems like the room discount is only if you had full rack rate room with free dining.

I assume there will be a good deal of email communication going out. Now what people choose to do with that communication is up to them. You're probably right though, it is bound to happen to somebody. Probably hundreds of somebodies.

You would think but considering so many of us haven’t even gotten our first email yet, I don’t have faith in their process.

Mine is Sun and Fun and my email says nothing about 35%. It’s the new email because it does mention no character dining. I’m pretty sure for my situation they will just deduct the dining plan cost and keep the sun and fun discount that was booked.

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

I also wonder how they are going to handle the fact that a lot of people might be miffed even if Disney manages to come up with a way to guarantee admission to A park they won't be guaranteed admissions to all parks during their stay. I imagine that MK reservations are going to be a lot harder to get than Epcot (especially an Epcot with limited dining options) or a SWGE-less (or severely limited) DHS.

I have no trips planned at all, but now that it isn't an option for me to buy tickets even if I wanted to, I really really want to go.

I’m concerned about the points build up too but my (personal, not based on any facts) feeling is that Disney didn’t want to open DVC this early. There are probably legal reasons they had to, but my impression is Disney would prefer to have as few guests in the early phases as possible. More control for them to see how the new plans work and adjust things as needed.

I had free dining for July 5, but we had a backup trip scheduled for July 27 under sun and fun

No character dining, okay Chef Mickey, it’s time to up your game over there. Set your culinary skills free!

Oh Chef Icky's. Good times, questionable food.

Lots of recent posts about wet masks got me to thinking what will happen when the torrential summer downpours start?
I got a chuckle picturing CM's closing the doors to their shops as people were rushing towards them.
"Let us in!"
"No, you'll exceed our occupancy limit"

Funny, yes, but I bet they won't let you in....
