WDW Resorts Reopening Thread
- Thread starter Magic Feather
- Start date
Staffing shortages. Even if some resorts open on time it will not be all rooms.
Coronado has been open for a long time though.

Some one at Disney resorts is thinking. Hey! Can not fully book the higher priced resorts so comp people booking at the lower priced resorts w "upgrades" to the higher priced resorts. A - artificially lowering prices w/o lowering prices. B - the guests will feel special and feel they received a touch of "Magic". C - allow more people to book the lower priced resorts because more rooms will be available. D - give the appearance guests actually feel good booking the higher priced resorts rather than other accommodations.

Yeah none of that is correct.
So far it's only been the one report for CSR, so maybe it's just a one-off.
I'm invested because we are booked at Gran Destino in October and I certainly don't want to be moved to a CR Garden Wing!

Really? Why?I'm invested because we are booked at Gran Destino in October and I certainly don't want to be moved to a CR Garden Wing!
The Garden Wing is my least favorite of anywhere and I hate the pool area at CR.
I think Gran Destino looks super nice and the entire CSR resort looks gorgeous and I am looking forward to trying it.

You're not responsible for recruiting or hiring in your job, are you?
It's a NIGHTMARE getting staff right now, for starters, and Disney will have absolutely zero difficulty filling every single available bed this October.
Walking distance to MK, Monorail to Epcot. For 2/3rds the price of other monorail resorts. Totally worth the extra 5 min walk, and we’ll worth an upgrade from Coronado.The Garden Wing is my least favorite of anywhere and I hate the pool area at CR.

Well worth it for you, not for me.
In fact, I wouldn't take an upgrade from Gran Destino to any part of the Magic Kingdom Resort area. Stayed again at Poly recently and it's just not my favorite area anymore.
Now Epcot Resort area is a different story...Yacht Club water view please...
Hopefully CSR isn't as bad as when I went earlier this year. Busses regularly took 40-60 minutes breaks.

Curious where you got this list from. The villas should not have been listed.

You'll see that they moved both of those up to the list of hotels that are now open.

With the talk of some Guests cancelling their October stays / trips for various reasons ( Covid spike in FL being one ) , is it possible one of the reasons for the 'upgrades' happening for some is to entice them to stay and not cancel?
If I was thinking of cancelling a trip/ stay at a Resort, I might be less inclined to if I was suddenly offered a 'sweeter deal' ...as in, a nicer place to stay.
Hearing these stories of folks getting 'upgraded' from a Value Resort to a Deluxe made the thought cross my mind.
