In circumstances of highly contagious pathogens, it is necessary to over-react BEFORE it seems obvious that we should react. If we don’t over-react early, we risk missing the window, at which point over-reacting doesn’t help very much.
Disney Destinations said:Given the necessary closure, all Annual Passholders who have Passports that are valid during the closure period, will have their Passport expiration date extended based on pass type and level of access due to the impacts of the closure. The extended date will be reflected on your Passport account prior to our reopening of the parks.
Annual Passholders on the monthly payment program will remain on the current payment schedule and continue to make their scheduled payments. These Annual Passholders will have their Passport expiration date extended based on pass type and level of access due to the impacts of the closure, and will not be required to make any payments during that extended period.
For Disney Flex Passholders, we will cancel reservations for the duration of the closure without penalty.
I was wondering the same thing.I wonder how long the extension will be. The email doesn't state specifically.
Simply put, you don't know that.The overreaction to this has already blown way past any negative effects the virus will have on its own.
I just hope they open on the 31st. My pass expires March 30, so say they extend for two weeks. So then my expiration date would be April 13. If the park doesn't open on time would my extension get an extension?? lolI was wondering the same thing.
You’re probably right. At least, I hope so.My reading of the message is that it won't be a calendar day by calendar day extension, but rather based on the number of pass days that are lost due to the closure and extended by an equal number of pass days. For instance, if the parks happen to re-open April 1, a Southern California Select passholder will have lost 10 Monday to Thursday pass days when they could theoretically have gone to the park, so their pass would be extended by 10 pass days. So if their pass was set to expire May 31, in order to provide equal value with the summer blockouts, their pass would be extended all the way to September 1. By contrast, someone with a Signature or Signature Plus pass would simply get a calendar day extension. So my hope is that someone with a Flex Pass that is set to expire December 14 would have it extended past the Christmas blockout period.
