So this doesn't necessarily mean resorts, correct? Or did I miss that part?

Paper menus for all restaurants, as opposed to laminated and menus that can be passed back to people, I like this idea. I don't know if Universal and Springs is doing this but they should.

T-Rex has disposable menus

They said there would be soft openings to the parks prior to the scheduled opening. No other details and no details on the resorts. Fingers crossed for you.

Supposed to check into Contemporary on 7/10, I wonder if that’ll be open for guests to check in to start day on 7/11?
I’m so over all of this, this is the 3rd time I’ve planned this trip

MK and AK July 11 opening

Epcot July 15

I didn’t catch the date for DHS?

I feel you. We've rescheduled two times now, and I guess now we have to do a 3rd time. I just want to go on our honeymoon already!

This is a bit frustrating. I did not watch this, did they say anything about resorts opening?

That is correct, nothing discussed at the task force touched on Resorts, unless I missed it. We'll have to wait on more info from Disney I guess. Chapek in on CNBC shortly - doubt it will be material but I'll report if he says anything.

I thought I missed it, too.
Seems like nothing was mentioned about the resorts.

 

[Kim Gillihan]

So.... did they say anything about park capacity allowed? other than having to wear a face mask which I hate in florida july... did anyone hear anything else that would hamper our trip significantly?

They didn't mention resorts

 

[Stefne]

So our trip was supposed to be 7/7-7/15, so that means we're cancelled AGAIN. And we both teach high school, so we can't reschedule for a year. What are our options from Disney? Will they extend or honor the free dining perk that we're currently booked under? Or are we just screwed?

We are booked for July 6 under the free dining promotion that was offered at the beginning of January. I am hopeful that some kind of reschedule promotion will be offered that we can apply to our fall trip.

Reservation system to enter park of choice

 

[Jules123]

We are booked for July 21-26. No parade and no fireworks was the dealbreaker for us. Guess we will see you next year Disney.

They just said reduced capacity and listed things like monorail, attractions, etc. And said there will be a "Pre-arrival registration system" where you'll obtain reservation in advance.

I am thinking they won't. I have an early July reservation under Free Dining as well

Resorts don't fall under the task force responsibilities - it is up to Disney.

Any specifications to this?

 

[elgerber]

Now which date do they use to count closure days for AP extensions, 7/11 or 7/15? Or something completely different?

No meet and greets, no fireworks, no parades, closing "high touch areas" such as playgrounds
