If we got a good discount to keep our current reservation after they drop the free dining we would think about it but don't think there is even a slight chance for that.
I am wondering the same thing. I am still waiting for am email telling me that my plans are cancelled before I jump the gun. We have four adults on our booking and may not be able to travel together next time. I hope we can book separatleyCan someone explain the 35% off being offered? Is that just if they canceled your dining plan? Or will they offer it to you even if you keep your reservation? When is the 35% good from/until? If I can use it to book after September 2021 when they say this stuff applies through I might consider next October...
So I’m seeing that people with reservations for May and Sept of 2021 have already received emails from Disney telling them they will have priority to new systems for booking ....this is crazy!!! I have a reservation for 9/9-9/16 and another resort reservation for 12/3-12/9 and I have heard nothing from Disney!
An Important Walt Disney World Update |
As we plan for the reopening of our Disney Resort Hotels and Theme Parks, we are keeping the wellbeing of our Guests and Cast in mind. And we’re here to help you as we introduce new procedures focused on delivering an enjoyable and magical experience for everyone who visits. To manage attendance and foster physical distancing during this unprecedented time, we will be changing and suspending some Park experiences. In addition, we will also be introducing a new Theme Park reservation system. Also, please note that upon reopening, Extra Magic Hours will be temporarily suspended. Unfortunately, these new measures have required us to cancel any dining reservations, experience reservations and FastPass+ selections you may have made. We recognize the inconvenience this poses and we’re deeply sorry. However, because you have valid Theme Park admission, you will have access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We’ll be contacting you soon with details on this new Theme Park reservation system as well as the process of re-booking dining and other experiences—now available 60 days prior to arrival to allow for planning closer to your visit. We’re putting great thought into helping you return to the magic and appreciate your patience. At this time, while systems update, we are temporarily suspending all modifications. However, you have the option of canceling your entire reservation at any time. For more information, please visit disneyworld.com, call 407-W-DISNEY (934-7639), or contact your travel professional or Member Services. Select third party operated restaurants and certain other experiences may not be cancelled." |
I only got the (generic) email 15 minutes ago. This is what it says:

I haven't received anything either. So they are expecting it to be handled this way next September also
Why did your agent suggest rescheduling rather than just working through these changes?
Well, since I haven't purchased park tickets yet it looks like I will not be given priority for access to the parks for my Sept trip if I'm reading this correctly.
Were you staying off property?
No, I have a DVC rental at the Boardwalk. I understood it as those having park tickets will be given priority... maybe hotel reservations also? I haven't gotten any emails from David's (rental broker) or Disney though.
I got the dreaded email from Disney. Based on this: However, because you have valid Theme Park admission, you will have access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. I am guessing that anyone without theme park admission is definitely second tier regardless of reservation. At least for now.
