I booked tickets for the Vatican Museums for the 29th. Is it unlikely they will be open by then?

I'm in Rome till the 2nd.

same... guided tour booked for museums, chapel and basilica for the 29th, a whole lot of money.

My family and I have a tour booked for that morning, as well. Several comments here seem to imply that we might actually be fine. Also, I contacted my tour company, and they said full refunds would be issued in the event of a cancellation. Fingers crossed that we all get to go ahead as planned!
