Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Arguetafamily]

I have two reservations for the same check in date July 16, one at Pop, and one at AKV (which I am keeping). The reservation number at Pop has numbers and letters, previously had only standard Disney reservation numbers.
All my other reservations for my dates still have only numbers.

So, the Magic Band count for our July 5-17 trip at Pop changed today. Yesterday it was 1 day, today it now says 26 days.

Also, received the email saying our final payment is due 30 days before arrival.

Same. I wish I knew if this stay was actually going to happen so I knew what to do. If the BC isn't opening the hotel side, I'm out I assume. But even if they do, if they aren't opening SAB, not sure I'd be up for the stay anyway. Guess time will tell.

This should lead to some reasonable conversation.

Getting my popcorn ready for this one!

As long as they don’t start canceling reservations for athletes and not replacing them

Maybe it lives on the new reservation system now and that one is alpha numeric confirmation codes

Surely not

That does make sense. Also to note the other reservations are DVC resorts, maybe that also has something to do with it.

I can't see them spreading the NBA out like that if they wanted to maintain a "bubble" but what do I know.

It is a joke!

I truly believe they didn’t want to open this soon. They must have gotten pressure from the state or universal or whomever. I think they wanted mls and nba there this summer and now they’re in a huge pickle

 

[BrianR]

Yeah might as well just play the heck at home if you're gonna spread them out across the entire property, no way to quarantine / separate them effectively.

UO said they would have the ability to do secondary screening for people who fail the temperature check. So it’s not like temp of 100.5 and boom you’re off to AdventHealth.

Yeah, I think it was Disney who said that when people are too high they're taken to a cool place to sit for 20 mins or so. And honestly, if I'm NOT sick and my temp is over 100.4, I'm going to be feeling terrible and need a place to cool off anyway. I get my temp checked for work every day and it's between 96-98 degrees, usually on the low end. Most people's body temperature runs lower as they age too.

I thought the whole idea for the NBA to play at Disney was for "the bubble". If this is true this would be very unfair if it affects peoples reservations. Just so many unknowns.

I've been saying this since the August rumor first popped up. This only confirms it. If true, they did want to give the NBA their choice of resorts property wide. Were it not for the fact that legally they could not do that to DVC properties, they would not be opening. I'm not even sure Universal had much to do with it. Anyone going can thank DVC members for putting pressure on them to open. As it is, they're going to make coming to WDW so onerous that they'll get a ton of cancellations, which is just what they want. Kind of sad now because we're going to have pesky guests messing up all the videos of the pampered athletes and their families roaming the parks.

It's also a very good sign that those who are going to get displaced so the NBA players can be there will get moved to DVC.

I started giving them the benefit of the doubt a couple of days ago, maybe just maybe August opening was based on safety. Silly me. But it's so outrageous, I'm going to reserve a spot in the this has to be a joke room.

The resort part is kind of dumb. It negates the purpose of the bubble. But this is a rumor. Obviously Disney knows whats going on and would not open up any resorts if they thought the NBA would impede on their reopening plan

But this tweet goes to show that the NBA werent going to rush through their season as some believed they would. There was no way the season would end before October. You dont capitalize on Ad revenue by playing multiple games at the same time every day and have every team play every day potentially risking injuries to the stars.

If it weren't so early, I'd go for the wine. It's just not right to drink before 9am.
