Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I bet DHS is going to be even lower capacity than the other parks as well. With the relative lack of attractions, the cancellation of most shows, and SWGE being an attraction in and of itself, there would be too many people milling about the park with nothing to do and not a ton of places to really social distance properly.

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

For anyone who thought that they might swap out tickets that they used for park reservations for a different ticket (like buying a ticket when sales resume and saving your AP voucher for later), I found this little gem buried in the reservation details in MDE.

But when you make the reservation it doesn't specify which ticket media it's pulling from.

The park just has a really small footprint. It's definitely become a great little park, but there are too many chokepoints to keep up with social distancing.

Did anyone manage to speak to a cast member today? Been trying to get through since this morning.

I'm on hold over 4 hours now regarding park pass ressies. First CM was snooty and insisted I didn't know what I was doing but then when she went to modify my package and remove the hoppers she said "she wasn't allowed to touch this package" and has to escalate me to internet dept. That was 2 hours ago...

LOL who else got the email from Disney?

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

LOL, Yup! Just came back to this thread to post about it!

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

12/20-12/27 was a breeze this morning but not sure how it looks now.

FYI - on the live stream Pete said he is going to share his thoughts about the pass reservation system and what happened this morning - and he will NOT be on the regular show tomorrow so sharing now

Anymore capacity updates for the opening week?

HS now full 15,16,17

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.

Though .. there is no guarantee that people reserving park spots for that first week in July are still going to go. They (as I personally would probably do) are still hanging onto their reservations because they got lucky to have one scheduled fore the re-opening. Thus they are probably making the reservations just to have them -- because they can -- but probably still deciding if Disney is even worth going to in a few weeks with all the restrictions. I am sure there will be a lot of resort/park cancellations as we get closer to the date.

I'd probably keep mine -- get more of a feeling how things will "feel" or look like .. and cancel it at the last possible minute.

Or maybe everyone will go .. FOMO and all. *shrug*

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 was able to cancel but it took ages. Had to cancel reservation for a half day so I could book a full day since I'm caught up in this AP can only book 3 days even though I have a resort reservation!

 

[SleeplessInTO]

I was able to cancel all the park reservations I made this morning just now. Rebooked and have the same limitations except now my park days are all at the end of my trip instead of beginning.

That was my exact thought too, which is why I booked my HS day first.
