I think what’s hard about this to read is we have no idea how many have canceled they did take away a lot of what makes disney magical, you have to remember we are disney fanatics for the most part and these boards only represent a small % of guest. I would trust Disney’s internal numbers. Now I’m not saying there won’t be cases that fall through the cracks but I believe the company is going to do there best to make things work
I think way more people have cancelled then we can possibly imagine. If this was your first trip with your kids.. I can’t imagine taking them. I know we don’t know numbers but I think TONS have cancelled plus we don’t know if some regular resorts could open
Yes I have already said we are a small percentage and so we are in the know more which means there are plenty who are not following the reduction in what will be offered and won't cancel .............. I know lots of people that have changed literally nothing regarding their summer or fall plans and the only way their vacations got cancelled (mostly cruises) is because the company cancelled them. People are acting like this is over everywhere and I don't think the cancels are that high, rather the opposite, folks are desperate to get out and go on vacation.
I think the people are hoping that July will be better, and by August or September stuff will be back. Heard people say that they will appreciate the parks at half capacity not waiting in huge lines so good with other stuff gone. And some I see can't just move vacation to a different date or cancel plane tickets or can't get their payments back.
Things like they just added back a Character Meal are the things that folks will hold on to that by time they go things will be good.
I hope it all works out for everybody - but lots seem to be banking on Disney making magic for everyone.
Very true plus a lot of the resorts only the DVC side is open so who says they can’t open the regular resort side if more rooms are needed
We are talking about the hotel side being open. DVC can not handle all the DVC required guests and cash guests.
Deluxe resorts only have 5400 rooms, and those hotels have existing reservations.
I also thought they were going to open resorts at reduced capacity? Is reduced capacity even possible at DVC resorts?
Reduced capacity is likely done by not opening resorts.
Yes, but I also think that those who are later in July, early a August may have access to be moved to deluxe rooms if those begin to open,
As you said at least we know have confirmation that the plan is to move people to DVC vs, just automatically canceling everyone.
But, people should be cautious to assume it will be a done deal because at some point, there may not be any place to move someone too...especially as word gets out that a free upgrade is possible.
Oh I do think they will move to the deluxe rooms, but they are finite. And we are talking 5400 rooms vs 18,000 value and moderate rooms.
Be great if everyone who wants a room gets one but the math really isn't there unless the state lifts their park capacity letting Disney open up more resorts.
