So they take bookings in the meantime, hotels that are open fill up, nothing changes with covid, value resorts still shut. What then? Don't get a room? Wondering how this will work in a worst case scenario of how things turn out next year.

In a worst case scenario I would be cancelling anyway and I assume if no change with Covid so would many others so there will be plenty of space.

I changed my POR booking from this August to next August on the 24th June and finally got it to link on Sunday if it's any help. I just kept trying everyday with my invoice number.

We moved our Port Orleans booking from October 20 to August 21 on June 22nd, (booked with WDTC). It took 2 weeks for the booking to connect (I still haven’t received the email confirmation but the reservation shows up correctly).

Keep checking to see if they have changed it, thankfully no bad news yet...

Is that what they do, just move you without saying anything and you don't know until you look in the app?

No, Disney would contact you and offer you alternatives.

Disney has provided a list of resorts that are reopening, with the inference that those that aren't listed are not reopening. The list is shown on this page:
disneyworld/experi...dates/resorts/
So, at this moment in time, the hotels not listed will not reopen any time in the future (which implies they aren't open in 2021. Or even 2022 for that matter).

However, Disney can (and probably will) announce that the remaining resorts will reopen at some point in the future depending on how things go with the virus. Port Orleans may reopen next year or it may not. It might even reopen later this year. We don't know. But at the moment it's closed for the foreseeable future.

As Disney say in that link:
"Please note that given the fluidity of the current environment, these dates are subject to change and Guests’ reservations could still be modified to other Disney Resort hotels if needed".

For info, until my onsite stay was cancelled a couple of days ago, my MDE still showed that I was staying at POFQ at the end of this August. Even though we all knew that POFQ wasn't going to be open. So someone's account can still show them staying at Port Orleans next year but that might get amended closer to the time once Disney knows if/when it's going to reopen.
