WDW COVID-19 Operational Changes- Reservation System-Rope Drop Procedures

[AquaDame]

Anyone getting uneasy about the surge of COVID cases in Florida? I am starting to get a bit concerned about our trip in November.

Very, but we're trying not to derail this thread...

No

I had dining reservations for Aug 28th-Sept 3, but no resort stay. When 2021 resort reservations opened last week, I booked a January stay. I really hope I can book my ADRs now too... . I'm sure it won't happen, but I did get the email sent out today.

 

[vinotinto]

Odd. My email sure makes it sound like I can do it online.

My email is exactly the same. No phone number and it seems like I should be able to do it online.

The website says you can, but if you have difficulty to call.

It's very possible they are so used to things not working online, they are already anticipating online ADRs won't work either, LOL.

Kenny the Pirate is reporting that Disney is going to be very strict with masks, and won't allow any that don't have ear loops or ties. No gaiters.

He's just quoting the official rule which has been around since Disney Springs opened up but gaiters have been allowed at both DS and the resorts. I've only seen one report of people being told to change from a gaiter to a regular mask.

Good morning everyone! Just wanted to let you know that dining went live (and you can make reservations online on their website!!)

*Don’t waste your time on MDE - I can see restaurants and times, but I cannot actually make a reservation.

Good luck

 

[Breezy2]

Thanks, but ADR 60 day window still applies so can't make ressies for first week of September yet. Darn.

About 45 minutes ago- got in, got all the ADRs we wanted, got out. Now we watched the normal dining page switch to being in orbit. Good luck to everyone attempting today.

Anyone able to get scifi at all? That's the only one I haven't seen any availability on...

Yes, we got it for lunch time on July 20th.

Side note- got Garden Grill for a late lunch, and it gets to be the replacement for my Ohana birthday dinner I could have almost done without the modified character dining, but all is well. My mother got her birthday replacement meal as well(this is what happens when you are both born in April!) at Liberty Tree Tavern. The menu still looks great and Liberty Tree is always a favorite. Can’t wait for our trip now!

We got it for dinner. I used Mouse Dining to find availability.

Yes, for mid-August.

Signed in using MDE at about 645am and got all ressies including dinner at sci-fi for an August trip. Thanks for the help and good luck everyone!

Yes, we booked it for lunch on July 21.

Finally got "out of orbit" and was able to make my reservations. I got everything I wanted except Sci Fi and Cali Grill, which is not available yet.

I’m not really much of an ADR person (usually make things up on the fly when there), but that was surprisingly exciting.

It’s nice that some of the elements of planning a Disney trip are starting to get back to some semblance of normal. I acknowledge that’s a bit of an overstatement, but just the act of sitting here with my park plan and thinking about ADR plans was a nice change compared to the past few months of unknowns.

Has anyone successfully gotten a reservation for the droid build this morning? It's not giving me the option online and I'm on hold. ADRs were a breeze.

I’ve been trying to figure that one out too.
