Lol. The cms answer that question multiple times a day. The typical response as I heard my daughter say yesterday. We are excited you are coming back to visit. At this time we do not have information on packages for 2021 nor any information as to when they will be released. Be sure to watch the website or your email for updates@Remy is Up just tell me when 2021 packages are being released...
I've heard that several times and passed it along
Thats a dicey one that you'll have to work with fisney on when the system finally works again and they can help you. Patience is the key and as they are telling guests. Time is the gift you have right now
This. We were at MK on the 1 year anniversary of 9/11. It felt like being there at a unique time in history. Parks were empty, everyone was afraid to be there. We are looking forward to the unique experience of being there 10 days after all 4 parks are reopened. It will be different and fun and we will make the best of whatever we encounter.
I think severely restricting or eliminating park hopping will have a very negative effect on Epcot restaurants.
We have gone to Disney every year since the twins were 3 (they are 9 now). It just wouldn’t be worth it to me to train the kids and there is 1 out of the 3 that is probably untrainable. He won’t even wear a magic band. I’m just not in a place where I feel like I need to force a Disney vacation and it doesn’t help that I am team ‘masks are just for show in most situations.” I’ll hang onto my reservations for a while longer to see how things unfold and see if they give me a leg up in rescheduling but the kids reaction today was really eye opening.
This. Nobody here is trying to be mean or ruin a vacation. We’re just trying to encourage folks to manage expectations. The WDW that reopens this summer will not be the same one that closed in March. You may not get all extras Disney committed to or that you were promised or that you “paid” for. For the sake of CMs, manage your expectations. When we talk about things like SAB or DDP, we’re genuinely not trying to upset folks. We’re trying to give people an idea of what things might be in play and what possibilities to expect. It’s done with the best of intentions, so everyone here can walk away from their vacations feeling satisfied.
Thanks again for your help. I do have one last question...We are staying at a DVC that our friend is letting us use. I am not a DVC member. Whenever I call Disney for anything, I always get transferred to the DVC customer support and I really don't want to bother my friend with this. We are super appreciative of them letting us use their DVC and do not want to ask them to wait on hold or constantly call on our behalf. Is this the only way to reach out, even though I bought and linked the tickets myself? The second I enter the confirmation number in the automated system it sends me to DVC, and I obviously do not have any authority to make changes/ask detailed questions.
This is the same company that is going to create a stable and reliable Virtual Que system for Rides
Has Disney ever suspended the CP in the past (like after 9/11)?
I don’t believe it’s ever been suspended, but it has only been in its current form (making up a significant percentage of front line CMs in the parks) since the 2008 Recession.
I respectfully disagree. If you ever looked at what is available for children at Disney you will find that, behind Magic Kingdom, EPCOT actually has the most for children to participate in among the 4 main parks.
Thanks for sharing, but that's a bummer. Hopefully they will get it running again next year sometime. My daughter starts college in another year and one of her checklist items for applying was whether the college had a Disney recruiter on campus. One of the smaller public universities she was looking at makes "Disney Recruitment" into one of their top 10 reasons for attending there (they have an active performance/dance program and have good connections with Nashville and Disney).
I made the kids mask up, do two laps around the house, then stand on our back deck in the sun for 5 minutes (I did it too). The mask I had on was way too thick (homemade), my son's had the same material and he was uncomfortable but not rip it off bad (yet), and my daughter seemed fine (she had a different material). It's supposed to be in the upper 80s here again today so test #2 may happen before the storms hit.Welp, it looks like the go/no go decision wasn't even up to me. I just made the kids walk around the house in masks and told them to imagine being outside with it all day. They didn't even last 5 minutes and all 3 emphatically said they would not want to go to Disney if they had to wear a mask and were happy to wait until that requirement was eliminated. The amount of complaining that happened in those few minutes has made me more fearful about going than anything coming out from Disney. I'm not cancelling yet but I really don't think we are going Aug 15-22 unless the mask requirement goes away.
It didn't even occur to me my son (just turned 7) would have an issue since he easily wears a mask to Costco, doctor, anywhere. But last week I asked him about going to WDW in a mask and he empathically said NO. Even to finally ride ROTR? He still said no. I was surprised but glad I asked. One more notch in the to cancel or not column.Welp, it looks like the go/no go decision wasn't even up to me.
