Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[cakebaker]

I can see June openings if DS goes well, but I still think resorts/parks for the 1st is a lofty goal.

With them blocking reservations for June, I can easily see a resort only opening for a short period of time. Disney has complete control over numbers, they know in advance what they have for resort reservations, adrs and hard ticket events. Honestly, at this point, I could see most anything happening. Ask me yesterday if they were going to open in a June and I would’ve said no way. But the lack of cancellations today icertainly deviates from the norm. And we have the multiple reports of different phone CM’s using the same phrasing...reservations closed due to capacity. Maybe they’re late getting to it and maybe it means nothing, but maybe it does.

Anyone else notice this yet? Sorry if it was mentioned somewhere in these 10,000 pages. Lol. Interesting that it didn’t allow any June spots last week and now it’s open ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was changed when they announced no new reservations for June. I’ve tried to find out if anyone has actually had it removed from MDE, but so far nothing I could find.

 

[MickeyWaffles]

There are a lot of things pointing to it not being a “long time”

Just my opinion. If they open earlier than I expect, I’ll be happy for everyone here who wants to get there ASAP. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong and that’s ok!

Yeah, but it was reversed. They posted nothing available in June last week and now they opened it back up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe it was changed to say "No Longer Available" when they announced no new reservations in June for every date in June. Now it no longer says that for June dates.

That is interesting, but when you go to purchase it only shows the July dates.

My biggest question mark is the scheduling. Since resort/park CMs weren’t called back, wouldn’t the next schedule give them a day or two before guests would arrive for a June 1st opening? And then on top of that, we have no reason to believe at this point they aren’t opening all or most of the resort at once (after DS of course).

Despite what I believe I really hope they don’t deviate from their cancellation schedule and cancel on the first week of June people randomly closer to the date. I think they got a lot of people’s hopes up today and I hope they aren’t crushed. I really hope if those people don’t go it’s on their terms at this point not a Disney cancellation. I know you don’t need explaining how much it sucks.

Now that is weird.

But you can't actually purchase a ticket for June. I think this is an indication that the events haven't been officially cancelled for June.

It isn’t opened up that I can see. I searched again and I can only find 1 person who’s says their VAH was removed from MDE.

If the schedule comes out this Sunday like it's supposed to or later in the week, that schedule will be from the 24th through the 30th
That would give cm a whole week of retraining.
If we don't see them recalled in that schedule then I don't think June 1st is a possibility

I would hope by now everyone knows to be guarded about any possibilities of opening until we get official word. It does indeed suck when you get hit with it by surprise.

We have tix for 06/26... Still there

I couldn’t purchase for July either... only July 6th was showing but if I clicked on it the page crashed. Every time I swiped to try August it would crash as well. Seems the disney gremlins are at work tonight... lol

I was trying on MDE

oh that makes more sense. I don’t know why I thought the next one started on the 30th.

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

*puts tin foil hat back on*

Now this is something I can work with!! I do find it really interesting that today went so smoothly. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings.

Wonder if the delay is signing agreements with some of the other unions related to hospitality etc? You said there are other unions covering other groups. Beyond other things like the state approvals to move forward since the county punted to Disney.

 

[Sarahslay]

Yeah, but it was reversed. They posted nothing available in June last week and now they opened it back up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can’t actually buy tickets though, it’s just maybe still happening just only with those guests who already purchased tickets. That’s about the only thing I can take from it.
