I thought it was announced a while ago, no more CM tickets through the year??
Woah, really? I haven’t heard that, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. Wonder if anyone can confirm this?

That was like right after re opening was announced , so it may of changed.
I seem to remember the same thing..
Is the Cast Blockout Dates Calendar still being updated? https://blockoutdates.disney.com/en/home

I tried playing around on the hub and with my comps for the new reservation system today and got nothing. I’m hoping a limited amount will be released to use week of
On the other hand, with the right process CM’s (and local AP’s) could be an excellent way to fill in open capacity day-of or even week-of.
Probably not an issue the first week, but if attendance falls off a cliff or half the existing reservations start not showing up it could get very interesting.

I heard from a friend that main gates did not work for her today.

I’m assuming they are referring to booking park pass.
Ive heard that cast members with booked resort reservations were able to make park pass selections for the days of their stay.

CM's are a great source of revenue for the company. They are local and can make numerous trips and will buy merch and food. Obviously Disney wants to make sure that all DVC, AP and other ticket holders have first dibs but as mentioned earlier the CM's would make a great option to fill in any potential gaps, especially with the lack of travel right now. You need as many locals as you can get.

Agree. CMs are not just workers but most are fans too just like guests. A lot that I know buys a lot of merch.

We were told in training on the new reservation systems that there would be absolutely no CM gate passes for the rest of the year, and same goes for TA passes.

Comp tickets can be used July 3rd. Cast members and their main gates will probably be blocked out the rest of2020. No announcements from Disney.
Main gates are just a perk working there.

The problem is that they're not as much revenue as guests. A CM doesn't pay for the entrance, and they have discounts on merch (unless that has changed). With Disney now limiting the number of people that can enter the park, they'll prioritize who can give them more money, which would be guests.
The way I see it, they'll only allow CMs in if somehow guest attendance is below even the current limits they've set for the parks.

Nope
If you have a resort reservation, all ticket types are good to go.

CMs are able to use gate passes if they have a resort reservation? Same with existing TA tickets? This is the opposite of what they told us would happen... interesting.
