Any thoughts on restaurants? Character meals?
Yes, I agree with that. I wonder if they will work with people on a case by case basis. I often purchase tickets a few weeks after I book the hotel to have it hit a new credit card period. It would suck to have your airfare and hotel but now not be able to get tickets. What a mess.But at this point you would have already had to have those tickets - no new ticket sales will be allowed for the time being.
Correct we don’t know what hotels will be open just yet.
You will need to make a park reservatio.
We do not have details on that yet.
Hoop De doo??They weren't mentioned specifically, but with character meet & greets not happening, I would be surprised if character meals are available for the time being.
CorrectThanks for the info ! So, basically - if you have a 7-day trip booked and all of.your ADRS and FPS are made, AND your trip was starting July 11, you still don't know if your booked hotel is going to be open ?
We already know that you would not be able to go to epcot and/or DHS until the 15th - but, don't believe you can amend your adrs right now - so, let's assume you can
But , it's basically 6 weeks away, and you don't know where you're staying ?
Nightmare planning . Jmho
That's how I read it. We have in-park ADRs for our park days, minus AK (never found anything we particularly enjoyed there except Tusker and we were sure buffets were out), so I'm REALLY hoping our ADRs "reserve" each park in advance. We have flexibility to get 1-2 days of AK in that we want.Are they saying that people with hotel and ticket package reservations prior to the announcement will be contacted for priority entry? Sorry my brain stopped working.
I hope not, we do the same thing I don't pay the balance until I have to. I want to keep my August reservation as long as we can to see what happens but I dont want to have to worry about getting a refund if we change our mindsThe point might be moot for us. We didn’t make our final payment yet. It wasn’t due until a month before our stay and we wanted to know more before finalizing. Does it not count as a reservation until it’s paid in full?

This is a mess. My husband was able to get through on the phone easily and make our final payment. If ticket sales were on hold, how was he able to pay our balance? Are customers considered a full reservation as long as they made the down payment? How long are they allowing people to cancel in advance? I need a nap.
If you already had a reservation, you can make changes. New tickets and reservations are on hold.This is a mess. My husband was able to get through on the phone easily and make our final payment.

Well our timing couldn't have been worse. We check out on the 11th and I can't modify. I give up.I didn't read it as the tickets had to be linked to the resort reservation, just that the tickets were already purchased.
"At this time, we are temporarily pausing new ticket sales and Disney Resort hotel reservations so we can focus on guests with existing tickets and reservations... Existing ticket holders and Annual Passholders will be able to make reservation requests in phases before new tickets are sold "
Yeah. I've worked in IT. I know folks who worked at Disney IT.
I've got so much sympathy for them. This is not going to be easy with the backend systems they're working with. I'm 100% in favor of shutting down new reservations while they roll this out and let people with existing reservations beta-test the new system.

...what is F&B? I’m so out of it all I keep thinking of is Flower & Barden.
I know.
also no one has to worry about this anymore bc I had a dream last night (not a joke - I’m so wrapped up in this drama that I dreamt about it) that DVC began opening up in mid June and then the rest of the resorts followed in mid July.
so I have been MIA for the majority of the weekend & I read through the last 3 or 4 pages. Some people are talking like the NBA thing is a done deal, I don’t follow sports in any way, is it a pretty much done deal now?
