Disney is preparing for the launch of the park reservation system for Walt Disney World today, with training taking place throughout the day and more information expected to be released imminently.

Walt Disney Company

According to an email Disney sent to travel agencies this morning, the theme park reservation system is expected to go live on the morning of Monday June 22, which will allow guests to secure a date and time at a Walt Disney World theme park.

Existing ticket holders and Annual Passholders will be able to make reservation requests in phases before new tickets are sold.

It is thought that the highest priority for park reservations will be given to onsite guests with existing tickets, followed by onsite guests without tickets, followed by Annual Passholders and offsite guests with existing tickets.

Disney has already said that capacity will be limited and that during the limited capacity period, it may be difficult for Annual Passholders to get park reservations to visit on certain dates.

The Magic Kingdom and Disney's Animal Kingdom will reopen on July 11, with Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios to follow on July 15.

Thanks to @PREMiERdrum.

Yep. I was there all last week. Most of the time, the PA announcement is from the familiar announcer you hear on buses. However, from time to time, I would hear the recording of a British woman making the same announcement. And don't think you won't hear it in Galaxy's Edge or Pandora to preserve theming. Nope. Announcements are park-wide.

Yep these have a bit out for a couple of weeks now. They have definitely had to make it clear that it isn't optional.

I visited Animal Kingdom yesterday and noticed new signage and announcements stating that guests who do not follow the mask rules will be asked to leave. I did notice more cast members firmly asking guests to stop while eating, make sure their masks were covering their noses, or put their masks back on while taking photos. I spoke to a few cast members and every single one said they just want things to return to normal as quickly as possible and these rules are the only way. I witnessed a couple of cast get ignored by guests when enforcing the rules. Those cast members contacted their supervisors to give descriptions of those guests not complying. I can't remember ever seeing the company take a firm stand like this before.

I'm just kidding. It's all lies. I just wanted to switch the topic for a while.

Ok, so a guy wore a mask with some wording on it. He Wore A Mask properly! No one care's what was written on it.

You were about to report someone wearing a mask correctly?

Easier to fire third party for a poor job.

If third party crews get hurt on the job, Disney doesn't have to pick up their medical / injury costs. That could run into hundreds of thousands of dollars or even more depending on the severity of the injury.

I saw a guy in Magic Kingdom recently with a custom made mask that says "WORN BY FORCE, NOT BY CHOICE." I kinda felt that he was trouble already. I'm was about to report it to a CM but decided to let it go since he's not doing anything wrong anyways. It's just a silent protest. I saw him two times after that while walking in Fantasyland and the other while in the queue at Big Thunder. In all fairness to him, he was wearing the mask and wearing it correctly at both times.
