You are correct. I guess mentally I was thinking 2020 comes before 2021. I mean that would only make sense. But, this was a lot of information Disney sprung on us just days before. I really don't imagine there will be a huge surge in park attendance. Maybe at first but not thereafter until 2021. I am not to concerned about capacity at any park at this point. There are so many rules and many limitations. I don't imagine many will splurge full price on a vacation that has limited offerings.
I would assume its going to be like the fastpass system, based on the dev testing I have seen of the park reservation system. If I was Disney IT i would use pre-existing code as much as possible, and that seems like a logical step. Still not sure why you would have to select a time (maybe because its based on the FP code) if you are allowed to leave and return to the same park, unless your not allowed to return.
I got the same email. I have DVC reservations but no tickets. I am going to make my park passes on Monday and see what happens.
I don't think this post covers DVC members. The only reason a DVC member would have tickets already would be if they are approaching the fast pass window, or if they are AP holders (in which case their guests would still need tickets. I don't think Disney is doing a system where DVC members are shut out of the parks. We'll find out on Monday.
Ya I kind of thought that....Maybe DVC Owners get an exception to being able to book the parks without tickets hence DVC owners getting the email but not cash guests...
Maybe if we are lucky DVC owners and people within their group can buy tickets tomorrow, or at least reserve the park for everyone in their group and then figure out tickets when sales start again.
If you have both a Resort stay booked rented or direct AND valid admission tickets linked to you MDE then you can book on Monday. As far as Disney has told me it for those booked in 2020 not 2021.
I don't thinks so. I think it is first come first serve basis. But, I don't think they will reach capacity on one day of reservations. Park capacity even at 30% is huge so I imagine they won't even hit that on park opening. Not many people want to splurge full price on a limited vacation experience. So, far on all the boards I have read, people are opting to wait and see or modify reservations for next year. I am not too worried about Monday. I think a lot of people will try to book because its like with the toilet paper shortage. People want to get what everyone else is trying to get. Then when the novelty wears off they won't see the urgency and will cancel or modify until next year.
As far as I have been told emails are going out in batches. Even though you may not have received an email, all the info is on the Disney Parks Blog. As long as you have a resort stay and valid park admission linked to MDE you will be able to book Monday with or without getting the email.
