Resorts will have a hard time getting people to pay premium prices if the parks are not open, IMO. I know I definitely wouldn't pay $400 a night to stay in a Disney resort and not get to go to Disney
There were some cancelled further out than that. If your reservation started June 1, but went through the 10th it was all cancelled. I'd love to know the longest trip cancelled, but that was the longest one I saw posted. **Edited to add, just checked and saw one that was up to June 13, so pretty indicative they'll be closed at least through that date. I suppose they could open on the 8th, but seems unlikely to me they'd do that. Would sure make for some unhappy guests that would've been willing to shorten their trip, but anything is possible.
Right, that’s what the previous post meant - any reservations starting within that first seven days were cancelled.
He said "sometime in June"
Yeah, it's arrivals through June 6. I think that's how Disney is going to continue to do these until the closure ends. Even if let's say Disney were to reopen its resorts on July 1, I think they would cancel anyone checking in through June 30 even if the reservation extended well beyond July 1.
Swan and Dolphin are open the 1st, would be surprised true Disney resorts soft open soon after
I think you probably represent a majority of on site guests. I know I definitely would not. At over $600 a night for some of our stay, absolutely not. We don't have a lot of must haves to go, but being able to go to the parks is a firm line in the sand. We could've chosen to spend a few days at the resort for our March trip that got cancelled and only considered it for a second before ruling it out.
You're most likely right. But that's why our stay is split up. They're going to probably get my June portion, but most of our July stay is on a couple of separate reservations. At least they can't take it all at one time! lol
I think resorts will have a hard time getting people to pay premium prices if the parks are open and running with "modified experiences" (no M&Gs, no fireworks, limited eating, no indoor theatres), etc.
Soft open with whom though? They've cancelled all existing reservations through June 6 and aren't allowing any new bookings for June. I'm not saying we won't see some resorts come online in June, but I don't think Disney would just be blankly cancelling all reservations through June 6 if they wanted to operate even a few resorts beforehand.
It cracks me up when in such a time of uncertainty people say things like "Football will almost certainly start on time." Nothing is certain my friend, but hope does spring eternal.
