Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[KayMichigan]

Hopefully Disney will add security to enforce the mandatory mask policy. There will be a lot of ugly scenes and the CMs can't do all the enforcement themselves.

You'll hear plenty of exchanges along the lines of "Sir/ma'am, you have to wear a mask." "Yeah? Make me."

Noon today....https://capitalsoup.com/2020/05/15/governor-ron-desantis-to-hold-press-conference-regarding-covid-19-in-jacksonville/ From how he was talking yesterday, it seemed to me he was just going to announce more of a fully implemented phase 1, but just a guess.

This is what I thought it sounded like too, which will add a lot of the rest of phase 1 is done.

Knowing Disney? No. I don't think we'll get much more notice than SDL did, but we'll see hints of activity to decipher.

SDL? That's one abbreviation I don't know.

Here's a creative video from Efteling park in the Netherlands, Europe about their reopening, expect something similar here too. (Subtitles since the audio is in Dutch)

That video is adorable....look No masks, might be the parks for us to keep eyes on to see how it goes.

I think this video was done very well. I also think the mask vs no mask comparison between this park and SDL makes it feel much more "inviting". Ugh the masks are just not registering with me ..........

Because everything is starting to open and more people are realizing that either you have to move along with society, or you get left in the dust.

Now that CW is open, some theme parks are opening soon, DS opens next week. It’s all a tease for the main event, Universal and Disney theme parks opening.

Yea, it blows my mind that people follow and come to a board about basically when the parks will open again and then scold people wanting the parks to open again

Thank you.

I completely agree. The masks take away the human emotion, I can deal with the rest for the short term but will take my money elsewhere where they aren’t a requirement. They look like emotionless robots in the China videos but that is just what I think, we will all have our own opinions.

Hmm... The one I was looking at had tablets that dissolve in water to order with it. It says 100% effective in 30 seconds. Idk

If you have a 70% solution of Isopropyl alcohol as the spray it will kill coronavirus in 30 seconds on a soil free surface with agitation. So you would need to add the time needed to wipe the surfaces to your time required to disinfect.

I hope to see them use First Order CMs to enforce mask-wearing on those pesky Resistance guests.

I’m honestly on the fence about whether or not the masks are a deal breaker for us. The compassionate side of me understands the need to wear them to reduce the spread. The selfish side of me wonders if it will be too uncomfortable for my kids and me to enjoy our vacation, so we’ll just either wait until they aren’t required or when it’s cooler to go than mid-summer. I won’t be mad at Disney if they require them, and we decide that’s too much for us. They have to do what they think is best for their employees and guests, and I have to do what I think is acceptable for my family when spending so much on a Disney vacation. Considering everything is changing so much day by day, I’m going to give myself until 30 days out to decide.

My way of deciding on the matter is

If you have the ability to go to Disney multiple times a year, or yearly, masks, lack of fireworks and parades, no M&G’s aren’t that big of a deal

if you’re going for the first time ever (or it’s your children’s first Disney trip), or it’s your first time going in a very long time, I’d advise waiting until the mask policy is lifted.

those are just my opinions. Everyone has their own.

In Galaxy's Edge for sure! That would actually add to the ambiance. I understand the need for masks when we are indoors / can't socially distance - they do have an effect (to be determined how much).

I forget. Are weather Skyliner is a flaming death trap or not stil a debate?

I’d say so since we still haven’t had them operating anywhere close to the Florida summer. And may not this year either. It may be 2021 before we get to see how miserable they can be. Most people will be fine I suspect while others like me can’t stand the heat. My first ride was fine on sections where the wind was blowing in, but on other sections with no wind I thought I was going to die. Worse than wearing a mask.

And speaking of the actual topic at hand, is there anything in the agreement about how long the mask measures will last or how and when they will reassess? Since it’s a union agreement just thought it could be written as a permanent thing that has to get reversed at some point

Thank you!

I think it would be easier for Disney to just have us sign on the dotted line we are aware of the risk when entering their parks, rather than temp checks, masks, etc. We know what we are getting into when we enter their gates, and to enforce all this would be way more complicated than just putting up “warning signs”.

 

[RamblingMad]

Not necessarily. You only load every other or so and clean the other as they pass load or unload. They don’t need a full cleaning. A quick wipe down will do the job. There are plenty of tools for this.

This reminds me of the old TV show V, where the visitors fogged the incoming people to be processed as food.

 

[tinkerhon]

Well, it's almost d-day for us - I have until tmw to buy tix for our July 14 trip - ( in order to get our FPS)

leaving from JFK

Don't know if travel restriction will be lifted

Not sure if it will feel like Disney for us , and really don't want to purchase if can't be guaranteed of a ticket refund

This is more stressful than OHANA adr or FoP FP !

Where are you going to spend your money? It’s not like there are going to be a lot of mask free alternatives for a while now.
