Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[SaintsManiac]

What’s the week of a thanksgiving look like so far? How about Christmas/New Years?

Everything available except DHS on 7/15 and 7/16.

that sounds alright?

Yes, I was very happy. A bit disappointed to give up the skyliner station, but it was extremely fair of them to keep us in a one bedroom at no charge. Especially at a deluxe resort.

Have you tried the "Disney Springs Dining Reservation" trick where you book a res at say Raglan Road and login, but once you login not finish that reservation and then move over to the MDE / Park reservation side?

This Worked amazing just logged in that way and then opened a new tab to reservations page.

I don’t know what DHS capacity or average attendance is. MK is about 100k for capacity and 50k on average. 25% of that would be around 12,500. DHS obviously has a much lower capacity so I could see as few as 8,000 guest let in initially, which is just crazy to think about. If it’s that low, the Rise queue won’t have any issues.

I selfishly like these numbers.

Has anyone been able to book park reservations for trips they previously couldnt?

No. And I just tried.

Anyone have any luck canceling a park reservation? I'm trying to switch days and I keep getting Olaf when I try to confirm the cancellation. I hope they fix this so we can cancel and others can snag open reservations!

I switched my days. I cancelled on the app and then went back to my laptop to rebook.

If anyone is interested I am at OKW now and posting in the DVC forums if anyone has any questions

BWV pool is pretty quiet right now.

All green. DHS is only fully booked for the first three days. All other days/parks are open.

I was able to cancel one this morning and replace it with a different park due to my indecisiveness.

Wow - capacity must be really low. They couldn’t have had that many people sign in yet.

It took 8 hours lol. And the first week was probably the most likely to see universal (not studios) demand for the Disney parks, especially DHS and MK. Whether its 20% or 30% capacity at DHS its somewhere between 15k-25k people allowed in. Thats not that many.

Pool here at OKW was surprisingly active. I would say about 10-15 people in the pool itself.

Seems like they are relaxed with the mask policy around pool area. Saw people with no masks sitting in chairs

 

[Mit88]

Should be going live soon

 

[SaintsManiac]

LOL who else got the email from Disney?

Subject line:
It’s time to make your Theme Park reservations

I really want to do a "Blue skedoo, we can TOO!" into that pic...

 

[Marionnette]

I literally just got this email. Really, Disney? NOW?

 

[TheMaxRebo]

sort of surprised MK hasn't filled up on the 11th yet - jsut figured the very first day of parks being open would be high demand and only 2 parks to pick from .... I know it has higher capacity than DHS, but still

I think more dates towards the beginning will fill up once APs can register on friday. But I dont think we’re going to see widespead sellouts
