That's because they want *MORE* cash! They already have yours!

This seriously makes me wonder if ABD is hurting for cash.

Wow, talk about tone-deaf.Looks like a temporary change in the deposit/refund policy for new bookings. I saw this on one of ABD FB groups posted by a TA. Ticks me off a bit since those of us who have trips already booked are not being offered any form of courtesy.
For all new Adventures by Disney bookings made between March 12, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the new reservation is eligible to be cancelled at any date prior to the established Final Payment date and if cancelled prior to this date, will receive a FULL refund INCLUDING the deposit. These NEW bookings made will not fall under the typical 14 day deposit policy.
Yes, and it's not like there's this huge corporation to bail them out if they wanted to. They need our money to stay afloat.This seriously makes me wonder if ABD is hurting for cash.

With WDW, WDL closed, I bet they are hemorrhaging cash. Even by furloughing most CM's, they can't have that much money just sitting around. Don't you think their business assumes at least some sort of positive flow of money?
Though, there is Disney+, which is surely even busier with everyone at home.

Seeing as ABD doesn't have any trips to Virginia (although Washington DC is close! But those trips don't start until June 14) my guess is this won't affect anything. If they have anyone from Virginia booked on a trip between June 1 - 10, they'll probably just deal with that directly.I just saw the governor of Virginia ordered everyone to stay home until June 10. How long do you guys think it will take ABD to start cancelling the June trips?
I just watched and @WebmasterJohn mentioned that full refunds are available on trips through June 30. I don’t see this on the website. Anyone else hear about this?Nice to hear Pete ranting about ABD's poor response to COVID on the DIS unplugged show today!

You may be right...sigh. But was I hearing things or did you hear it the way I did?I think he may have meant “Any new bookings made on future trips through the end of June, 2020 will be subject to fully refundable deposits up until the final payment date.” So it would be for new bookings only...
At first I heard it the same way, but Pete asked him again about deposits being refundable a few minutes later and he said yes for travel by June 30. So I checked on the website and it’s for the new bookings. I wish that all I had to lose at this point was a deposit...I PIF on feb 20th for my June adventure in Italy I just want my money backYou may be right...sigh.

We were on the June 2 Italy trip. Was that your trip too?At first I heard it the same way, but Pete asked him again about deposits being refundable a few minutes later and he said yes for travel by June 30.

June 19thWe were on the June 2 Italy trip. Was that your trip too?
We haven’t cancelled yet. I am waiting to see if ABD cancels first and to see if they offer any accommodations. We PIF in February and I hate to lose all that money. We could really use the cash now as I will most likely be furloughed soon. We may be forced to just take the 75% and lose a few thousand.June 19th
Our wedding was June 6th but we’ve now needed to postpone it
Have you canceled your trip?
