Yes, the people that got upgraded were amongst the first to be moved, when they hadn’t released the list of resorts that would open from July 11th onwards.
Exactly! When i called i said" So i see my resort will not be opening., i was curious where you all were moving those reservations.. and the rest was Disney Magic. Nothing was really open for us by august 9th that wasnt a villa ( coming from a suite) so we got moved to a villa, but if you dont ask to be moved, and inquire where they are moving people it should work in your favor.
Did you call to do this or did Disney call you? I have a reservation for the last week of November at WL and since it doesn't have a reopen date I am not sure if I should be proactive or wait for Disney
I received an e-mail that I needed to call to change resorts. I called again last night as I saw a one bedroom villa at Copper Creek was available for my dates. The CM said that since my original reservation was for a deluxe, I could not upgrade to a DVC resort with the same pricing. The upgrade would have been $1,200 more than my current Poly reservation.
I didn't receive that email. Interesting! Did you call the regular reservation number?
Yes, 1-407-W-DISNEY. Then was transferred to guest services. I was offered either Poly (marina view) or Contemporary (garden wing garden view) as the same price as the WL reservation. The rack rate for the room at the Poly was around $800/night.
I have a reservation at POFQ for late October. I have not received an email to this point either. I also chatted with a cast member online. She told me it was still a possibility that the resort could be open for our visit, and I would be notified if I needed to change resorts. Maybe Disney is only sending emails to people they know for sure are in resorts that won't open?
I fly to Europe and everywhere else with a bag of pods in my check in luggage. They do fine.You can always ask for more if you need it, or get it at the store or the laundry room for the studios. Or bring what you like. The reason we don’t do that is coming from the U.K., I’m not sure bringing a bag of white powder in a suitcase or flying with liquid detergent pods in a pressurised cabin would be a wise move.
Wow, I envisaged them bursting mid flight! What do you do. Double bag them I assume, anything else?
Just put them in a ziplock or I’ll buy a small package in the store and toss them in. Nothing special. They don’t burst.
Arm and hammer make little powder detergent packets that dissolve, they aren't liquid so no issue. I also used to be able to find sheets that were actually detergent that melted. Super light and easy to pack.
