Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[pasta]

The wrist band is just meant to indicate that your temperature has already been taken and to expedite entry to the park. There shouldn’t be different colors to indicate health. It just means they will only take your temp once then you are good to go for the day.

That would be great!

This is different. It's affecting EVERYONE and has the possibility of causing long waits to enter parks. What @chicagoshannon is suggesting is so much more efficient.

And if you don’t have a fever at your hotel in the morning but have one at night while trying to enter Disney Springs?

It sounds like people are getting droplets, and Hydrofluoric acid mixed up. If someone on RnRC screams and a little bit of their spit hits your shirt in the back row, first of all, you probably wont feel it, second of all, it wont burn through your shirt and inject itself into your body. In all likelihood it’ll die in the florida sun before you even touch it. Unless you have a weird habit of touching every square inch of your clothing every 5 seconds

I'm confused. RnRC is an indoor coaster. When did Disney install skylights? Only way FL sun could kill virus infused droplets.

Then you should stay at your hotel and not go out.

Again, you can have Covid w/out a fever, so none of this makes any difference in the long run. Why not make it less intrusive to the guests. Or I should say more convenient.

When It comes to something like this it will be all over these boards and someone will post the link. I didn’t get an email for SWGE but was able to register from the link that was posted here

I wasn’t an AP during that time but I remember seeing people talking about getting notified via email about the previews opening on these boards.
How did you get notification to sign up if not through email? Genuinely curious. I’ve never received anything from Disney re: my pass.

I've never stayed at Beach Club (will be this trip) but I thought you just used your Magic Band to get in. IF Disney did the wrist band I would think they would use the ones similar to the parties where they aren't just a plain color but have a design.

Just an idea from someone who always runs really hot after being in the Florida heat all day.

You scan in with your magic band to show you’re staying there, and then they give you a plain colored wrist band so you don’t have to continuously scan in your magic band every time you leave and come back.

They could use the party type wristbands. I’m just saying if they use the colored ones, it’s not difficult to get around. Not that you should. If you have a fever or high temp from just being in your room up until getting your temperature taken, I would hope people wouldn’t go to the parks that day

It also says, hey I passed and while it’s a fine point, it’s an important one. I don’t see them having any check points for temp checks except for at the parks. There’s no requirement to be temp free anywhere but there.

 

[mhautz]

I hope Disney hotels do something like Universal is going to do. You get your temp taken daily at the hotel, then they give you a colored wrist band. You are then good for the day and don't have to get your temp retaken when you go around all the different properties/Disney Springs.

I like the wristband idea, but even if they didn't do the actual wristband, wouldn't it make sense to catch the temperature issue before you go on transportation? Logistically it will be easier to deal with a person with a fever at the resort (go back to your room) than someone who is already at the park and has to go back to somewhere secluded.

So now when you leave RnRC you’re entering an enclosed dome over the entirety of DHS?

Even blind squirrels eat. No reason not to.

Still waiting for him to show an example where I have been woefully wrong

 

[anthony2k7]

I saw a dr on TV talking about people screaming on coasters passing droplets to people behind them. There is just so much speculation on transmission to really be sure about safety anywhere

it’s really changing to a scenario where one has to accept that you are at least going to be exposed and at worst get it. If you are not concerned that it may affect you, or anyone you may pass it to then take the prescribed precautions and hope for the best. I myself just not willing to do that but no judgement on anyone who feels different

Yeah I cant remember which park but one in the east is trying to convince coaster riders to not scream because it increases the risk

 

[cakebaker]

Then you should stay at your hotel and not go out.

What you think someone should do is irrelevant. Disney has not required you to be fever free anywhere but upon entering the parks. If they want that, they’ll need to check temps before you enter property and that’s not going to happen.
This is the risk you accept when you go. Sick people may be out and about.

 

[Brianstl]

Not to mention, if it’s anything like Beach Club’s wristbands, you can just circumvent the rules, go to Walmart, pick up a package of colored wristbands, see what today’s color is and put that color on. I’m not telling people to do that, but figuring out ways around a wristband situation isn’t exactly rocket science

In addition to the wristband they could attach a notice to your MagicBand that you have passed the temperature check at the resort.

Then you should stay at your hotel and not go out.

Again, you can have Covid w/out a fever, so none of this makes any difference in the long run. Why not make it less intrusive to the guests. Or I should say more convenient.

But if you already had a wristband that showed you didn’t have a fever at your resort in the morning, it wouldn’t be checked again at Disney Springs.

I agree, you can have Covid19 without a fever, asymptomatic spread is very real, but Disney is requiring temperature checks anyways. They’re not going to just check it once a day at the resort and let people go around the property in multiple locations without checking it again.

The only ADRs I have left are the ones IN A PARK. And all the ones I had in a park are still there. That seems completely backward to me. Raglan Road and Homecomin' are gone. I was hoping they'd be third party that might not get cancelled. Oh, well. Waiting for the rest. My 60 day mark is Wednesday. Doubtful the new system will be ready

 

[chicagoshannon]

Yeah I cant remember which park but one in the east is trying to convince coaster riders to not scream because it increases the risk

I think that's in Japan. And yeah no one is going to scream. lol

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I saw in Japan they were trying to do that - didn't see anything stateside

 

[mhautz]

Yeah I cant remember which park but one in the east is trying to convince coaster riders to not scream because it increases the risk

The East and West Japan Theme Park Association included it in their guidelines.

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

I'm pretty sure this just circles back to if you decide to go to a theme park during a pandemic, you need to understand that you are taking on a level of risk. There is no way to eliminate all risk. People need to be reasonable. If you aren't okay with the possibility of exposure, that's totally fine. Just don't go.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

Taking a temp once a day and then wristbanding and not having to get tested again that day seems like it would end up with too high of a chance of people falling through the cracks, to the point where I’d ask why they’re even doing it at all. It’s not a huge hardship to get scanned. I think they scan everyone at entry points to parks/DS and call it a day, and don’t complicated the process too much.
