Sorry to everyone with June reservations.

You know, an hour ago I was just about to climb in bed, thought what the heck, I'll check the Dis one more time....big mistake. Wide awake now....

Turn on the blue light filter. It helps. I use it on my laptop and phone.

I have wondered about the possibility of a soft opening of the parks before resorts open.

When they started the reopening of Shanghi DL there were videos showing a kind of soft opening - CMs, Disney executives and their family & friends were the testers for the social distancing protocols put in place. I don’t recall seeing any guest soft openings... just from the testing to the actual opening.

Sorry guys. Universal should open up in June and have all the Disney people go there instead

Someone on one of my Facebook groups said he got the same e-mail for his dates at Akl 6/20-6/28. Looks like they are canceling the whole month on June

This does not appear to be the case. No DISer reports of that. Cancellations are occurring for check-ins 6/6 and earlier.

Personally I suspect they were in a group or TA group situation.

This confirms the shipping and fulfillment of magic bands are meaningless

Like I said on another thread, how are they just going to cancel some and not all?

That wouldn't surprise me. If they are in fact trying to limit capacity. You have to think, there were already people booked for June prior to the virus. So with that in mind, doubling up for re-schedules would've made it packed.

But it's really messed up to do that. I've booked with that TA before and if they canceled mine and not someone else's I would be furious.

I don’t know how they could arbitrarily make that distinction unless they are keep DVC resorts booked on points and cancelling everything else.

If they did indeed need to cancel some June and not others to get under a certain capacity, I would think they would release unsavoury park procedures and let people cancel on their own first. Possibly wait until closer to the arrival dates too.

I wonder if the group/TA ones go first kind of like how Disney cash reservations have been cancelled before DVC, and eventually they’re all gone.

I'm not defending them at all if thats happening. I would be mad if it were me.

Disney can cancel anyone they want at their sole discretion. The one thing all of them had in common a few days ago was being booked on "special" group rates.

I KNOW that. It's still really messed up and if they did that to me I probably would not return.

I suspect most will be mad, but next time they'll just pay up and skip the TA's "special". Really sucks for those agencies if this does happen.

Say they reopened only the Magic Kingdom and the Monorail resorts at first. Wouldn't that be a reasonable way to do it?

I just received my June 2-7 cancellation for YC and tickets. We had booked directly with Disney.

There is no reasonable way to do it. If I booked Pop a year in advance and they cancel me but let someone in at the Poly who booked 6 months in advance how is that fair?

I have no dog in this fight, but I really think the whole month of June is done. There is no justification for keeping some and not others, IMO.
