Hello I had bought about 10 park hopper tickets for Disneyland last year December 30 to use sometime this year but Disneyland has been closed since March. What options will they be giving since it doesn’t seem like Disneyland will be opening up this year.
Love the new & improved panel name!
Hi. I have a trip to LA planned to October and we would like to go to Disney California. This is open yet? If not, when is planned to open parks and to buy tickets?
Tks and best rgds.
@ Marco: The way the explanation was described in the email, the amount of money you will get back SHOULD be equivalent to the cost of the pass multiplied by the number of possible entry days you would have had left at the closure date. The way the email explained it was a little convoluted, as they extended everyone by the number of full closure days, and then said the refund would be calculated from the re-opening date (July 11) until the NEW expiration date you had based on that extension, but the number of days there ends up being the same as the number of days from the closure until your original pass expiration date.
So lets say you 1st used your pass 30 days before the 1st closure day. You had 30 valid days of normal access before the closures. So if you take 365 days, subtract 30 = 335. Your refund should be the fraction 335/365 times the cost of the pass (almost a 92% refund). In my case it was much closer to 6 months left at the time of closure, so mine would be roughly 182/365 times the cost of the pass (roughly a 50% refund for me).
Hopefully those examples are enough for you to figure out the approximate value so you can make a decision. Your actual dates should be reflected in your My Disney Experience Account, assuming you set that up before your first use of the pass (which would seem like you must have since there were Fastpasses to schedule for a trip you did in February).
I would agree it would have been helpful if Disney had included the actual amount of the refund for each person in the email asking us to choose to extend or take the partial refund.
I bought my annual pass in February. I was offered the option to get money back due to Covid closure. How much money will I get back?? If I keep my AP, will I have 4 months added to my pass, due to the 4 month closure??
