I know they can't but I wish they'd just cancel it now. I've not booked any form of travel yet because I don't want the hassle of having to deal with getting a refund on that if France opens to tourists yet the run does not go ahead or Disney are only allowed to be open with 25% capacity for example. Do they then go reverse order through the reservation list and start telling people their holiday is cancelled? That will make people angry.
Normally the bib-only sale would have started by now.
The complicated thing with Disneyland Paris, more than any other Disney park, it is dependent on their foreign visitors. Yes, lots of locals, but their percentage of non-France visitors is bigger than Non-Japanese in Tokyo, Non-Chinese in Shanghai and Non-US in Orlando and Anaheim.
Disneyland Paris probably can reopen at reduced capacity with French guests only, but as soon as they want to scale up, they need the borders open and all 2-week quarantines on return (like the UK & Spain have at the moment) lifted.
For the September run, it's going to be more complicated than with the May run, if the parks are open in September. They will have to contact each person who has a reservation for the run (so hotel & bib packages, or via Run
Travel Agent) and check:
- Refund the race bibs (and add-ons, like Pasta Party, Photopass etc.)
- Refund both hotel & bibs.
I think the race is cancelled, but they are waiting to announce it to a. create online forms to handle the different options, b. waiting for the different countries and EU regulations to decide on what to do with tourism.
