This policy change is effective immediately and will be applied retroactively to visitor-initiated cancellations for facilities which remained open to the public with arrival dates starting March 10 through April 3 that were canceled after March 1. Customers who choose to cancel reservations during this time will receive two refunds - one for the initial cancellation, minus the cancellation fee, and a second for the cancellation fee. This second refund is processed separately and should show up within 7-10 days. There is no need to call the contact center to follow up on your refund.
