Dear Mod, why man?! You finally got us to shut up on the topic for a couple pages
Dear Mod, why man?! You finally got us to shut up on the topic for a couple pages
Amen to the bolded....like many of you I’m confused with the why and how disney is handling much (all?!) of this.... The one thing that keeps popping up in my mind is what Disney will change once Florida reaches Phase 3?...
Nothing has changed with it and they aren't enforcing it so status quo.Not to change the subject but has anyone heard anything else about this travel quarantine? We are from NY and are visiting in August, I'm worried they will make us quarantine for the duration of our stay
Amen to the bolded.
No. Disney has given every indication they will be opening with barely any guests which would mean they aren't going to be even close to bumping up against FL Phase's capacity regulations.
Since @rteetz posted the Dis Universal Twitter feed I don't feel too guilty about sharing my experience at Volcano Bay. They are doing an excellent job at reminding people about mask and social distancing. This morning it was pretty dead (9:30am) but it picked up a bit later in the morning. All the slides were "ride now" so no need for tapu tapu, all the cabanas and premium seating were sold out come 11am (they were doing social distance on those so not all were available) at $250 for cabanas and $80 per premium seating.
Universal just also shared a lot of ap perks coming our way from premium parking for free to ap entrances through bag check, at the parks, a free refillable mug, and of course the ap magnets, buttons and regular discount on merch and food
Come to the dark side everyone, we have a fire breathing dragon
I might head over t the parks on Monday to check the queues, they do look non existent today
BTW I'm not comparing both properties, just saying there are other options out there
Agree. I expect the over-arching mindset for Disney at the moment, and the reason they are progressing at this snail of a pace, is to "show" they are doing everything they can to placate those with the greatest paranoia, and avoiding lawsuits. Like a lot in my small little group of friends, there's probably about 80% of us that would be fine with going to back to pre-pandemic Disney and just telling us to keep a mask on for the foreseeable future and that there will be no touching/hugging of characters anymore...all the rest of this is way overboard and seems to be counterproductive in allaying anyone's concerns if Disney is taking this long to make decisions.Disney doesn’t have to change anything just because FL moves into phase 3.
I personally think Disney will very slowly ease restrictions over time. And I don’t think they’ll change a thing until they are sure there hasn’t been a spike, that they haven’t been the source of an outbreak, etc.
I do not think we will see a mass reopening anytime soon, regardless of what phase FL moves to.
I think by July that restriction will be over.Not to change the subject but has anyone heard anything else about this travel quarantine? We are from NY and are visiting in August, I'm worried they will make us quarantine for the duration of our stay
I almost posted the same thing!Dear Mod, why man?! You finally got us to shut up on the topic for a couple pages
Thank you for the update!I think by July that restriction will be over.
Today florida took down the checkpoint from Florida to Alabama. So they are starting slowly to lift those restrictions.
I had a June 10-12 res at Beach Club and when I talked to Disney last weekend they confirmed cancelled, no rescheduling possible. And it was also confirmed that ALL reservations at ALL resorts up to June 21 have been officially cancelled....so I'm not sure how you can modify once it's been cancelled and that they are also not allowing new reservations to be made? I also have a TA for my August trip and she has not heard of this at allMy TA is reporting the same thing. As of this morning, guests with check-ins from June 5 - June 21 can modify, but only to dates from July 11 - December 31, 2020 and only DVC or Ft. W. No 2021 reservations at this time.
There’s no one at Universal right now. Look at the ride wait times. They were a bit busy during the AP previews but today seems to have no crowds at all.It's interesting to me that some posters are saying that there's no way Disney could allow hopping and it would mess with capacity when Universal managed it. And yes, I know people will say Disney is bigger and more complicated - but they also have over a month to figure it out.
Yes, they will provide “limited” transportationMaybe I missed it- but any word on if Disney will provide DS transportation to DVC hotels when they open in June
*shrug* .. I still have an open (in MDE) June 16-June 20 reservation that hasn't been forcibly cancelled by Disney yet, though I just did get the e-mail about it today saying "Your upcoming travel dates are impacted by these closures".I had a June 10-12 res at Beach Club and when I talked to Disney last weekend they confirmed cancelled, no rescheduling possible. And it was also confirmed that ALL reservations at ALL resorts up to June 21 have been officially cancelled....so I'm not sure how you can modify once it's been cancelled and that they are also not allowing new reservations to be made?

And your point would be? What does that have to do with them allowing park to park when people are saying it's impossible for Disney?There’s no one at Universal right now. Look at the ride wait times. They were a bit busy during the AP previews but today seems to have no crowds at all.
Hopefully now we can get some answers for resort stays in July. I'm anxiously awaiting news about my July 18th trip.
When you called no one was eligible to make changes so you were given accurate info then. Today they made the week of June 15 eligible to re-schedule as long as you pay the difference, you can only book DVC or FW at rack rate. Idk if before that week can book as well but if you're cool with rack rate for DVC or FW then I would give them a call sooner rather than later.I had a June 10-12 res at Beach Club and when I talked to Disney last weekend they confirmed cancelled, no rescheduling possible.

I love how it basically says there is no scientific evidence it’ll help, but let’s give it a go .Oh for pete's sake!
