Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[KBoopaloo]

hopefully they aren't just going to use the same food they had already in stock for F&G before the closure!

A little bout of food poisoning would take the edge off worrying about COVID!

So no water taxis (small boats) except for fort wilderness and wilderness lodge (limited).

@IceSkatingPrincess your Pheasant Party at Pop's Petals Pool Bar is ON!

Heck yes it is.

Have I mentioned that my Mom has called me like 11 times in the past week to tell me how excited she is about this trip

For those of you coming into Orlando next month, here is an attraction that might be appealing (and perhaps more importantly, indoors with air conditioning). I have no financial or personal vested interest....just sharing. It was highlighted on our local news all day.

I much prefer family style meals with characters and especially when your kids are little. If they could somehow keep the variety of the buffets and don’t standardize the menus across the buffets I would welcome it as a permanent change.

Same. Balancing my kids’ plates and my plate and getting more of their favorite things and trying to rush to the buffet and back to not to miss the characters ... family style is my favorite - I can actually eat!

It really is just so much more relaxing to have family style at the character experiences when you have little kids.

Maybe the EPCOT monorail will be open in August...

I would bet a lot on the fact that they did check everything and run through everything and didn’t just throw it all open. These things happened before somewhat frequently, if anything it’s a return to normal to be talking about malfunctioning animatronics and things like Jungle Cruise boats sinking

On one occasion riding Frozen, Olaf appeared to be having a seizure. I thought that it was a perfect photo op.

Any make up fans out there, Sephora Disney Springs has been doing cute themed make up in their stories on IG for opening. Some more subtle than this lol (although this one is cute too).

Is this becoming a "thing"? I always miss the investment boat!

It’s cool that they’re opening bars/lounges at resorts, but you’re not allowed to go if you’re not staying there, correct? Or, for example, I can’t just go to Tambu Lounge or Capt Cook’s if I’m not staying at the Poly, right? You can’t make ADR’s for QS or lounges.

I need that jumbo pin. What are bots, how do they work, and where can I get one just for that pin specifically

Have I mentioned that my Mom hasn't call me 11 times in 11 months wondering if I'm still alive? Just kidding! Enjoy your trip.

Correct. If you have a dining reservation at Kona, you would be allowed to park at Poly and then visit the bars while there. Not sure how strict they’re going to be on busing though.

I asked this a day to two ago but not much response so I’ll try again.

Anyone have any insight as to why Bar Riva at the Riviera has been removed from the list when it was initially open and it seems all other pool bars are open?

Can anyone on grounds confirm that it is actually closed?

Name the things in your life that are guaranteed 100%.

One of my kids will tell me I'm the worst parent ever in the next month.

Already bookmarked the site and have my reminder set to be on there on the 14th at 1EST. Some nice stuff, even just the regular pins and the t shirt are nice!

 

[Pksmom03]

What if they ARE serious - and they actually work for DFB and this is all part of some clickbait campaign?!?

Isn’t it just about the same as at Riviera...?

I had 2 character breakfasts scheduled for our September trip- Garden Grill and Trattoria al Forno. I could justify the $48 cost because the character interaction at these 2 restaurants is phenomenal. While I find their food is quite good, I can’t justify paying regular price for the lesser experience involving the characters. I guess I now know how the posters on here feel when they say they can’t justify a visit now- not only because of the coronavirus- but because of the lack of shows, parades, fireworks and meet and greets. Everyone must have a tipping point and I guess the character meals are mine.

Does anyone here remember the lime green Mickey head paint chips you used to be able to get at Home Depot (I think?)... somehow those became the official “DISer in the park insignia” years ago lol. I remember my mom tying one to a bag or siblings’ stroller for a couple of trips when I was younger. Idk if anyone on the boards still does anything like that in the parks, though.

I remember those days! Unfortunately they don't have them anymore. I used to have one on my fanny pack, and I met a diser I knew that way!
