So are we expecting more news drops this weekend or pretty much figuring Monday will just be our day of total insanity as we juggle reservations AND news?
Possibly. Even so, the math is still the math, and you’re looking at 5,000 rooms managing the volume of a total of 35,000 (or 14% of total capacity). The math doesn’t work.I think come fall, you are correct as that is DVCs busy time. For the next few months, it is crazy how things have opened up, Even the typical slower summer time which is booked a few months out is still wide open,
I think there are a lot of open DVC to still move people to in the next few months
I'm worried about the system crashing with everyone trying to book it. It might take us all day! I do not think you will have a problem getting A park. It might not be the one you want but you will get a park.Does anyone have any ideas of the probability of getting the park reservations you actually want if a guest is staying on property and gets priority on park booking? I have a 5 day pass starting July 18th and i'm concerned about park selections.
Who knows. Things change every hour.So are we expecting more news drops this weekend or pretty much figuring Monday will just be our day of total insanity as we juggle reservations AND news?
I'm sure this is a stupid question but
I have a package booked at Pop for November, if I go ahead and book park days on Monday, can I still cancel before my PIF date?
And if they move me to a different resort and I accept, does that change anything in terms of cancelling?
I've bookmarked this to see if the larger cruise lines (>250 passengers) start sailing in August. I'm not talking about only DCL as I also think the initial sailings will be very limited in terms of on-board entertainment.
I can envision the larger cruise lines leaving a Florida port and going only to their own respective islands as a sort of soft-opening.
My husband is a total Luddite and will not have a smart device for any reason. He has carried the same flip phone for over 10 years and says if there ever comes a time that it breaks and he can't get a new one, he won't have a phone period.
I am really starting to wonder how large the amount of cancellations has already been for the next six months. It has has to be huge. Maybe Disney is confident there aren’t enough reservations still in the system to lead to a high enough volume to crash the server Monday.I'm worried about the system crashing with everyone trying to book it.

It’s easier when you don’t have enough demand to need to put a system in place.Certainly is easier for customers. Ingenious plan.
That`s my primary phone:

My husband`s smart phone last december wasn`t smart enough to handle the newest MDE app.
The version where you could reserve boarding group for Rise of the resistance....
Luckily we had my work phone with us which was JUST smart enough to use it
Same approach here. We are only going for 4 days, so as long as we can get each park once, the order doesn't really matter. Now if we can't, that's a dealbreaker.This is what I'm going with as well. My personal strategy is to think about how many days I want to visit each park and what my priorities are (for example: 2 MK, 2 EP, 1 DHS, 1 AK, priority is going to each park at least once) and then snag what I can on each day not worrying about which day I'm going to each park. If I can't get what I want, initially, I guess I'll just keep checking. I guess the advantage at this point is I don't have to think about scheduling around MNSSHP, trying to make sure I see nighttime shows etc. And since I can't make park ADRs before I have a park reservation, I don't have to schedule around ADRs either.
What if you are an AP holder? You won't be able to book a room??It sounds like they are not doing any room only bookings when it starts on June 28th.
It amazes me how many people who have reservations for value resorts are disparaging OKW and SSR as if they are not massive upgrades to what they booked. Disney, if they actually move you, are giving you a room that is far superior, in a resort that actually feels like a resort. As a DVC owner, who had stayed in values, moderate, and deluxes, I speak from experience; you should be excited to stay at SSR or OKW as they are really nice upgrades.I’d be legit pumped for anywhere except okw and Saratoga and I suspect that is where the peasantry will go. But hey if we are all there together it will still be fun, right.
Anyone can book Swan, Dolphin, Four Seasons, or the 7 Disney Springs hotels and get the same benefits as on site. So there’s an option.What if you are an AP holder? You won't be able to book a room??
people choose resorts for different reasons....my kids are super excited about the pirate rooms at CBR, and the Skyliner access is impossible to replicate no matter how "superior" another resort may be. There are a lot of factors that go into choosing a stay, and feeling like a "resort" isn't always one of them.It amazes me how many people who have reservations for value resorts are disparaging OKW and SSR as if they are not massive upgrades to what they booked.

Thanks - great tip - didn't think about that!Anyone can book Swan, Dolphin, Four Seasons, or the 7 Disney Springs hotels and get the same benefits as on site. So there’s an option.
Can’t you book a package and not add tickets?What if you are an AP holder? You won't be able to book a room??
