Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

It doesn't appear that way to me at all- hotels in Fl have always been open, they never closed. He made a specific difference between airbnb types and hotels. He also said those types of lodging aren't neccesarily banned- they need to submit a plan and if they were allowing guests from places like NY, they most likely would be told no. But, this is phase 1. In phase 2, I suspect any restrictions will go away.

I also think it could be because maybe there is probably more government oversight for hotels to ensure safety protocols are followed vs vrbo rentals.

Once it gets submitted to a government, it will be a public document. It won't have to be leaked.

And we should also be able to see the actual proposed modifications vs rumors.

I agree with you on not waiting for a vaccine as we don't know when or if that will happen. If we want to live with this virus that means wearing masks when needed and keep practicing physical distancing. We stop doing that and there is a good chance we will end up back where we were. Its great Disney and other parks want to open but they should keep all safety measures in place til at least a treatment happens.

I don’t think there’s any evidence pointing to Disney not opening with every single safety measure they can open with in place or they would have opened already.

I agree. But he also said they were welcome to submit plans- that those places in areas of the state less affected were wanting to open and he'd be willing to consider it.

I wasn't talking about when they open. I'm more talking about going forward. A lot of people seem to think as the months go by restrictions will be lessened.

We’ve already seen the Union guidelines, which I’d imagine will look very similar to whatever proposal Disney puts out there. Everything in there is guaranteed to be in place when the parks reopen, and that includes the dreaded face masks.

Atlantis put out a statement saying while they don’t have a for sure date , they are targeting June 15th for a phased reopening.

Disney is refunding tickets purchased as part of packages but that’s it. They’ve drawn a hard line on no ticket refunds. (You’d have to see what the charge is for cancelling a package, as of now that fee is only waived for people arriving through 6/30.)

Thanks ! Yea, still deciding - more worried about the possibility of Disney 2.0 than the refund, as sad as that might sound ! And not rich by any stretch !

DS is opening on May 27th or earlier, CM already being recalled

I thought so far only non Disney restaurants and retail were opening up and that the cast members called back were grounds crew... Off to look for updates.

Disney owned properties are opening on the 27th. Some non Disney owned and the complex are opening on the 20th.

Let me save you some time!
May 20, a small group of CM custodians go back as several third party locations operate
May 22, several Patina Group operated locations open like Morimoto Asia
May 24 (per The Hollywood Reporter’s interview with a union rep), more custodians go back as well as select Merchandise and F&B CMs go back to work
May 27ish (also per THR), Disney-owned and operated stores and eateries reopen

That giant volleyball tournament scheduled for the convention center in June has been postponed until mid July.

Sunshine law is going to help us in a great way here. We will have our answer soon after that paperwork goes through.

Very exciting!

if we're getting technical, Disney and UOR are theme parks. since they are not listed on this for Phase 1, the groundhog predicts 3 more months of lockdown.

Ok, I'm confused. This just says that parks can submt reopening plans, doesnt say that they can open, just submt plans.
