Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

...and how will APs take no park hopping? Swimmingly I'm sure....

I'm an AP and I have three 2-year olds...just getting in and out of one park with all the strollers and gear is an Olympic sport. In other words, We don't park hop and that's not a deal breaker for us

Currently have a Sept room only (DVC) reservation. Have not purchased tickets yet. Have not received an email.

The news (well, rumor) about no hopping really bites. Totally expected tho.

I suppose the next big axe to fall is cancellation of F&W, right? If the fest is being canceled, that has to come soon I would think.

I also just checked and my breakfast reservation for Tratorria al Forno on Friday, September 25 is now gone but all my other reservations are still there including a PPO Garden Grille at 8:05 and Epcot isn’t opening until 11.

Same exact thing for me, but in August.

How long until this thread gets to 1,000 pages? This is unbelievable!

Alright so here is my situation: no email, fastpasses gone, dining still there.

Same, except I got the email. I'm not even the actual reservation holder. My nephew is the DVC owner. I'm just the hanger-on.

My guesses:
No park hopping
Resort and ticket reservation doesn’t guarantee you can get a park reservation
Staggering arrival times to the park
List of attractions not opening
No droid depot or lightsaber builds
Something weird like limits to ride share on property
List of resorts not open
The new reservation system is the Genie thing and everybody’s gonna have to pay for it.

I doubt the second prediction; resort guests will be the first to be able to book, I would imagine.

I'm the same. Waiting for that email.....

Are we t-minus 2 for the Friday Bomb Drop?

I’m good. They’ve done all they can to me. I am cut proof at this point.

Can anyone answer this....We had a trip in March that was cancelled. It was not a package. Room Ressie and Tix separate. The room was cancelled but the Tix were dated to last until 12/20. Since we have Tix, will we be part of the group that can make a Ressie? Can we stay off-site or make an on-site hotel Ressie? Also, has Disney given any indication of how long this will last (having to make a reservation to enter the park, unable to book a room, ECT..). So sorry for the long questions! TIA for any help!

It seems that you need an on-site reservation and tickets of some variety.

I find it odd that I still haven’t gotten an email. We have two trips in July, both with DDP and tickets. It makes me nervous about communication when it’s time to book

For all those that are saying that they have not received an e-mail, have you checked you junk/spam e-mail folder? I generally receive e-mail from Disney for resort and dining reservations and they go straight to my inbox.

For some reason, the two e-mails sent from Disney Destinations late last night were initially blocked and I had to manually release them to my inbox once notified.

I was also thinking what about the silver annual passholders that normally have blackout dates...I pretty sure they were normally allowed to go during April and May, but blackout during the summer...?

That's less than 1 week notice. We're over a month away from WDW opening!

When Universal announced they were opening the parks in June last week I wandered on to the hotel websites and could book Hardrock and a few others for opening day. Their calendar then said they would open the 2nd. Their website was trumpeting the included express pass. They may not have explicitly said the resorts would be open, but they were booking rooms.

I’ve checked every folder and searched all mailboxes repeatedly. There’s nothing there.

Thank you for the reply. Hoping to get a room Ressie as soon as they open up.

My guess for the news today will be obviously about park hopping and CL cuts, but also they will name the hotels that aren't going to open. Maybe about dining.

At the end they will say "Farro, you will specifically be affected next May by everything you are worried about, even if restrictions are lifted for everyone else".

The F Bombs have been dropping all day.

Same. And I never having issues getting Disney emails straight to my main inbox.

It's okay, taking my mind off real world problems for a while!
My family is finally getting together for Father's Day!!! I haven't seen my mom and dad since March.

Trying to convince them to go to Disney for a few days while we are there.
