And didn't I hear somewhere that TA's or other sites were gobbling up dining reservations so they could dull them out later? This should help minimize that I hope.

TAs are about to find out that WDW doesn't have to cater to them. Rude awakening happening in the next couple of weeks.

You can say it won't work all you want. Have at it. It can work and will.

Yes, I’m sure it will work just because you say it will. That’s how things work right? More of your mysterious inside information?

Am I the only one feeling like phone CMs are going to be deserving of a substantial raise, and in need of serious alcohol, to get through the days ahead?

Everyone make sure to do the surveys post-call!!

I'm really anxious to see if they include us folks who bought APs and never got to activate them in whatever plans they have for current AP holders. We bought them because we had a couple of major trips booked this year, including one that's now scheduled for the end of July that has been rebooked 3 times already and a second trip in October/November for halloween/food and wine marathon weekend. I don't want to activate them with a July trip and start the clock if there are going to be severe restrictions and reservations required for half the time we have them. But at the same time, it's $4500+ I paid for tickets I haven't been able to do anything with. It's a lot of money to have tied up to eventually use and activate "someday" if we aren't able to use them as planned this year. Especially if they end up cancelling food and wine and/or the marathon in October.

this is what I'm wondering too. We bought our AP this past weekend. Will activate it for our September trip.

I'll have one at home working on the phone and through chat and email. I'm already planning on making her a fresh drink each hour. Lol

All aps are frozen. There is no park hopping. Its not logistically feasible. They will do something for ap holders. Hang tight for now

I appreciate this, thank you.

Argh!

I don’t think they will cancel existing reservations everything else is fair game

makes me wonder why my September tickets were extended to September of 2021...

 

[Bibbobboo2u]

Not for always. Just for the time being until it's time to open things up a bit more. When parks are not on capacity limits they can allow hopping again. As I said yesterday. This is a LONG term plan and don't count on changes for quite a while.

Looks like it might be time to cancel ressies for this year, unless the mouse is going to take care of that for me. Key West here we come.

Hmmm. OK. Let me know when I've been wrong.

Canceling everyone to have them try again is different then canceling for some Jocks

Dude we’re havin a good time tonight, lets not ruin the mood. We’re actually all happy for once.

Disney should start paying us. We’re dogs who have the bone, then the bone is taken away and waved at us, then the bone is gone..

I miss my bone

Yeah, just like the happy guy that called me a troll.

I'm not sure I could qualify myself as happy.

But, I think I've reached that tipping point, just past devastated that it's impossible to get any more disappointed so....you just have to laugh it off because if you don't, you'll cry.

On the night Disney just set everything on fire. Funny how that happened.

It’s ok. Those bricks are slowly coming off the shoulders. They are making vacation decisions easy to decide...

Stop what? I'm quoting the doctors at the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force meeting. They literally said that infection numbers have not stabilized in Florida, and that there are still too many spikes happening in their day to day numbers.

That's why the data shows that the percent of positive cases have been going down? On May 3rd, the percent if positives were 3.58...On May 17 it is down to 2.27.

Cases are going up because they are testing more than they have before (April 17 they tested roughly 68k, may 18, over 120k). But percentage of those coming positive are going down. For reference, during the peak back in April, it was near 7%

Apologies. I'll step back

I mean, what else could there be?!
