They could meet demand even with reduced capacity? I worry that they will take hotel reservations and then not allow entry into the parks if walk-in guests get there first. Whenever they open, taking more reservations than you can accomodate in the parks is super duper frustrating.
I don't think that would happen. I think resort guests will have first priority getting in to the parks. I think you could see a temporary end to park hopping though. I expect Disney to follow something like what they do when the parks hit capacity around Christmas where the parks are closed off to different tiers of guests at different points.
I know, just seems odd they seem so serious about it all but let dining slip through the cracks.
I have noticed this on the Dibb. I have been checking for a while as I have considered rescheduling my July trip. However, most of these experiences are available at the end of July. I haven't looked today to see if this is still the case. No, it is not an AK trip w/o safari IMHO.
Spaceship Earth is closed for re-furbishment but the others were noticed last week as no availability, some starting around July 28, running all the way through August. Some show as not available, others show as closed, for example, Fantasmic shows unavailable, while Beauty and The Beast shows closed. I have no clue what it means.
Contactless Bag Check sounds pretty sweet. Definitely wish Disney would go this route or the airport style like Universal has.
I know, I believe I was responding to someone else saying that CR was closed for the NBA stuff for players to use due to all the rooms and convention space. I've been saying from the start it's probably being used for CSR guests. They probably haven't moved anyone as of yet because it's not a done deal, and should it fall through last minute they can just keep everyone where they are and open reservations again. If/When the deal goes through then they would start with the moving of people from one resort to the other.
I think that's due to the fact that the 60 day window is now at July 25 and those with longer trips are booking it up through the end of July. That's pretty typical.
I dunno, I have a trip July 8-15 and was able to go on yesterday and move some stuff around. What was really good was my HS day on July 9 finally had something besides shows available. Now, none of the tier 1 were available but everything else was including ToT and RnR, and I was able to snag a TMM. DH has never done these rides, or even ever been in HS, so I was determined to get a FP for all the rides he wanted to try, and all three of these were on that list when they were all booked up on FP day. There is a rumor that they are limiting FP availability, at least for the top tier rides, which would make sense, so if some people have really long trips booked and already gone and booked their FP for later in their trip there is good reason to believe all the good stuff is gone already.
I agree with that. I think they should give resort guests priority and block out annual passes during the initial phases. Maybe they should offer discounted one day tickets to AP holders who want to go to the parks during the opening phase. Transportation will be a challenge, but I think they're just going to have to cut capacity on buses and run more of them. It's not realistic to have six foot spacing on a bus so they should probably just mandate that everyone wears a mask while onboard and limit the occupancy to the amount of seats present on the bus. At least then you won't have someone standing right in your face.
