Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[andyman8]

I prefer to go with an open mind and be grateful I can visit Disney during these times. It will definitely be a vacation we will always remember!

That’s great that you want to keep an open mind! I’m just putting this out there so folks manage their expectations, given the arguing we’ve already seen about amenities like SAB.

I think it's hard to predict. We did a day trip to a zoo in the Florida Panhandle today. We go every year, we pulled up today and it was way more packed than I have ever seen it, at least on a weekday in the summer. I suspect there's so many other things that people use for entertainment (movies, trampoline parks, etc) that are closed, that there is going to be a high demand for those things that are open as long as there's a disparity.

Interestingly, other than the workers in the gift shop and snack bar wearing masks, it was like nothing had ever changed. Didn't see a single guest wearing a mask. They have a train ride that goes around the zoo. It was packed to the gills, every row taken with no instructions to social distance. Just had to laugh thinking about all these discussions here and how people still won't feel safe at Disney. Those people would've never even made it out of the parking lot at that zoo today.

We were at the same zoo last week.... it felt so very "normal".... we personally enjoyed it.

Rumors...we've seen about amenities like SAB

Yes, just the mere rumor that it may not open has people up in arms. Imagine if it really isn’t open.

Okay? It may reopen; it may not.

 

[0FF TO NEVERLAND]

Some bloggers were saying some people were passing out at the universal parks. I’d assume from masks so that’s sad. Hopefully as Disney gets closer to opening, the take off face mask areas will be large

 

[Jroceagles]

Okay? It may reopen; it may not.

No facts about anything yet. Correct? So it is all speculation and rumors. SAB could very well be open and I happen to think it will be. Dues are high for BC and the common reason or answer is SAB.

Awesome! Thank you, makes me so happy!!

Am I missing Boardwalk on the housekeeping recall list?

So there are restaurants inside both Contemporary and Jambo house that should be opening. Goes against the NBA bubble taking over those two, IMO.

As we all (mostly all?) suspected, looks like they’re opening a QS and a non buffet TS along with each DVC and FW.

ETA oops no TS at FW and SSR. Does Saratoga even have one?

We can't see it, but it's in the list of restaurants.

Yes its not there

This is a News and Rumors board. If you prefer to not talk about rumors, there are other boards on this forum for that. We’ve heard from a few credible sources (many of whom I can vouch for) and it would be consistent with the reduced amenities we’ve seen across the hospitality industry. Does that mean it’s for sure going to happen? No, but that’s the risk you assume when you enter a News and Rumors board. I’m grateful those folks (myself included) share that information here first. I don’t find it productive to harp on people for sharing rumors and whatever info they have available. You don’t have to make any final decisions before an official announcement, but I find it helpful to have those considerations in mind when making any plans.

Also, a number of very credible DVC posters have also said that the dues don’t necessarily guarantee access to SAB. You could say the same thing about Riviera and the Skyliner, but don’t count on that operating on 6/22.

The restaurant in the Riviera is a character dining in the morning, signature for dinner.

Wonder if they will still have breakfast, but without characters initially.

Yes, SSR has Turf Club. Surprising it’s not on the list, given its close association with the LBV course, which has been operating this whole time.

I personally only saw your post as harping...
It isn't against the rules to verify if something is rumor or fact.

Do DVC owners contribute to maintenance on SAB? I thought I had read they don’t, but I know very little about the intricacies of DVC. I just stay at them as a cash guest.
