Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[cakebaker]

I'm unclear why it seems like it would be any more fun/convenient for someone without kids to be kicked out of their hotel versus someone with kids

I think that would kind of suck for everybody. Again, a risk with travel during a pandemic regardless of family structure.

I don’t think there’s much argument that being stuck in a place you may not be familiar with and no place to stay might be tougher with young children, especially a sick one, than with just adults, but that’s not my point.

The under 3 crowd is pretty good at running a pretty decent fever when the least bit sick. They aren’t as good at regulating body temps, but it can pass quickly. I’ve had my grandson run a 102 temp all day and wake up the next morning perfectly fine. He’ll catch a big and it lasts a day or two- no need to run to the dr, but we’d be with no room to put him in, paying the expense of a dr for a minor illness and that’s ridiculous.

But I’m not going to Universal so fine by me.

Indications that DLP is moving towards a July 11th opening as well.

Although now let’s debate what “seek medical attention” means. Does it mean you have to pay for a doctor to come to your room? Do they offer a house Doctor and a COVID test- if so who pays?

That’s just too much for me to deal with. They can run their parks any way they want. I just choose whether to go or not and it’s a big no.

I'm supposed to be checking in there today. How depressing.

Sorry if someone else already replied but it’s 35% off the room portion of the package only.

Someone did reply, but I appreciate the response anyway.

4 park reservations on a 7 day resort booking? Not going to happen. I know many like at least one resort only day to rest and maybe shop at DD, but Disney would see a downturn in resort reservations if guests were unable to go to the parks everyday of their stays.

I'm sorry, I don't think I quite follow?

My suggestion was hypothetical. But, with DVC and lots of adults-only stays, I don't think 4 days on a 7 day stay is that crazy out there?

What is your idea? That Disney will not allow 4 park days with a 7 day visit? They will require one park reservation per day, essentially requiring a ticket for each day?

If they find you have a fever at park and turn you away, wouldn't the resort need to know this info? I mean, they don't want you wandering around with a fever...

Back to my idea of assigned CM checking your temp every hour.

 

[chicagoshannon]

yes if we agree that we are coming at our own risk then mask should be optional

my thoughts exactly!

Wearing a mask helps protect the CMs that will come in to serve you and allow you to have your vacation.

Of course. They would probably notify your resort, any restaurants you might have dining reservations with, and oh yeah, the airlines too!

It will be whatever ticket you buy. If you have a 7 day stay but only buy a 4 day tickets you get to go 4 days. We're there for 8 nights and have AP's so should be able to book 9 days since we're on property.

Is Disneyland expected to be determined by a task force, or are they just going to have a DPB post that DLR will be opening on a certain date? July 11th is still a ways away, I’d think they’re aiming for that date as well. Though California might not want to make a commitment that far out as Florida seems to be more capable of

 

[chicagoshannon]

which would open up a whole can of medical worms. Reason #1 why non medical professionals shouldn't be doing medical procedures (yes taking a temp is a medical procedure). There is also HIPPA.

I asked this ages ago when we knew nothing about how anything would go, and basically the consensus was it doesn’t matter because Disney can’t control everything, we take on risk being there, etc.

But I think now that we know a lot more about the precautions and safety measures Disney will be taking (and we see how Uni or Loews or whoever we want to blame feels about guests with fevers at their resorts), I think it’s an important question. Where do the high fever guests go? After they have not successfully cooled down in the tent I mean. If they got to the park by way of Disney transport, are they escorted to their resort? How is the rest of their party treated? Not let in as a precaution? And then of course, how does the resort treat them, are they going to follow what Universal is doing?

Every answer is a new question lol.

And the always competent airlines will immediately flag some other poor soul and cancel their ticket instead of yours!

Yes, I completely understand that. That's what I said.

My point was.....if you make your 4 park reservation days ahead of time, and then something comes up. Maybe someone gets sick. (Not covid sick) Maybe the flight is delayed and you don't get in till late, so you need a rest day....my point was....how changeable are the park reservations?

Or once you're set, you're set. No flexibility?

The person I was replying to said that would never happen, which was why my reply.

 

[SwirlTheCitrus]

Or will you be moved to a separate area at a resort that is dedicated to failed temperature testers?

I am picturing that they use the treehouse villas as a quarentine encampment zone, and some sort of children of the corn thing happens at night.

CA does everything like that in closed rooms. Basically the opposite of FL. So all of the sudden one day there will be a DPB post or a CNBC interview and we’ll get the date.

Has anyone heard anything about AP price increases? I need to renew mine by Monday if I want to renewal discount. The rate that's coming up for the Weekday Select is higher than the one that I had seen earlier (i.e. before the pandemic) online. The site I'm getting the lower price from isn't official Disney, but it is one that I've used for years. I played around with the renewal options, and it looks like the Silver Pass may be higher than it was in February also. If it helps, the site I'm using to get the February prices is allears.net.

we don’t know. Six flags will allow you to cancel one and if you can’t make it want you to do it by that morning (or risk having issues getting future reservations).

getting a new one would depend on Capacity but I expect for a while if you’re trying to get one during a trip it will be tough to do.
