Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Remy is Up]

Shanghai parade is back , three weeks after they opened. You can use that as a hope maybe.

Not the same. Crowds at wdw are far different than Asian parks. Asian crowds are used to following rules and respecting others around them. The wdw crowd tends to be selfish

its funny how each country mandates the use of masks. In the UK it is only advised and only mainly on public transport and even then it isnt compulsory. Our SAGE advisors still dont believe that they should be compulsory for everyone. I can wander round my town and 90% of people dont wear masks at all and actually rather than look at people without masks, I see people looking at people WITH masks as they are the odd one out.

I can only modify my AK FPs to "It's Tough to Be a Bug."

Soon to be renamed, "it's tough to be a Murder Hornet"

 

[MickeyWaffles]

Are you really going to have to wear a mask if you are sitting in a lounge chair at the pool?

Yes, I think so. A lot of pools that have reopened are requiring masks on the pool deck.

(edited to clarify that this is my opinion.)

Because you can't mandate masks there. There is an obsession right now with masks.

I've noticed a media obsession with masks. I can just imagine all the headlines if Disney opened and didn't require masks. I saw a clip earlier today of a reporter in Wisconsin talking about all the people walking by him without masks and how they weren't concerned about health. A few seconds later, guy came by and called him out on the fact that his cameraman and part of his crew not wearing them.

I'm stunned they expect you to wear a mask while sun bathing at the pool. Good Grief. Yeah, they are obsessed and yeah, DVC members expect top notch service and accommodations...we paid for it!

 

[elle21]

I think we're going see a lot of kids who are "2".

Yeah, I think that too. I can book fastpasses for times the calendar says are closed, so I'm assuming that they need to update the fastpass calendars. That means effectively no available fastpasses.

I think I might ‘identify’ as two.

 

[jsand99]

Yes. A lot of pools that have reopened are requiring masks on the pool deck.

I don't even know what to say....

I hope so. I have to reduce my package tickets.

I’m concerned about the part about contacting guests with resort reservations. I still haven’t received my confirmation email from when I modified my package about 4 weeks ago. I hope they don’t send a unique link to make a reservation via email Because what happens if you don’t get the email?

Also, the reservation system makes me a little nervous. Really, anything involving Disney IT makes me a little nervous.

Perhaps they will put the link to make the park reservation in MDE under the “My Plans” section. If you have to make the reservation before you can make FP that would make the most sense. You could select your park and date like you do now, then it might confirm that there is available space and give you a park reservation number and then automatically move on to the FP screen. They could even have the same 60 day on property/30 day off property time limit for park reservations as they do for FP. Just a guess at an easy way to integrate it into their already existing system. I don’t get a lot of the emails either, although they have had my email address for decades now (it hasn’t changed since I first set it up in the 1990’s) and they still can’t seem to send me all my communication in a timely manner.

DHS 10am to 8pm

I fear SWGE might not open at all in the first phase
MFSR=hand on
ROTR= vq mess
Savi and Droid depot=hands on experiences

 

[vinotinto]

So many questions. Do we think FPs will remain?

I have some pre 10 am FPs at DHS and some after-7pm FPs at MK. And will we get an Anytime FP if we scheduled it for before/after hours.

May as well get over the mask anger. Its a requirement whether people like it or not and it can be deabted all day and it doesn't matter what your opinion is. Don't like the policy. Don't go.

 

[tinkerhon]

No nighttime spectaculars for the time being, and F! is a nighttime spectacular.

Boo ! What next ? No churros or Mickey pretzels ?

They will be modified in some form in the next few weeks.

Did they come out and say that? I didn't see.

Perhaps they aren't going to try to social distance at the pools, thus the need for masks for now.

 

[tinkerhon]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[rileyz]

I would agree if they cut the ticket prices in half

Yeah, lol. We have AP’s or else I wouldn’t even consider. I can’t wear a mask for long, never mind in 95 degrees but we shall see. I just picture people passing out all day with the mask policy.

I don't see why it would be an issue with the new(ish) CDC info on the spread of virus on surfaces...basically it's a very small chance compared to air droplets.
