Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Jroceagles]

So many modifications .. I understand some people are still going to go, but man .. who is going to go during these times?

See none that we didn't expect...unless I'm missing something

My guess is
1) locals
2) APs
3) Disney freaks with a complete morbid fascination with this "new normal"

I score a 1.5. AP’s, Disney( slightly disillusioned atm) freak but NOT fascinated by the new norm. I really hate it all.

They're gonna move you all to BCV with no feature pool. lol (totally kiddnig but I could see it happening)

That would be fine with me—I can’t currently swim and EPCOT would be a close walk.

Soooo, what you're saying is I have to make my own bed?



I always found it weirdly satisfying to come back to the room late in the day and see it cleaned, beds made, all feeling like a hotel...I will miss that.

We are 1800 miles away and we drive, but...Our original trip had included heading to the dark side for a day plus a few days at St Augustine. So now my brain is whirring...4th for St Augustine, a couple of days at Universal, then a couple of days at Disney.
I am most definitely not getting excited this time, but I guess at least for the moment, I’m back in the game. Just have to see what happens with previews.

I know you said you got AP discount on the 1bed villa at Riv, so that's a great deal for you. Worst case scenario is you have an awesome clean villa in a beautiful resort. You said you're going to be in Orlando anyway for Universal, so I'd keep it in that instance. If you were coming that far just for Disney and were banking on AP preview for it I may have passed but you're planning to be here anyway so why not?

I know. The more that comes out the more likely we will cancel, but I think that’s what Disney is banking on.

this is on one of the WDW pages, not sure if it has already been shared

Virtual Chat With a Resort Cast Member

Beginning June 22, you can chat with a Resort Cast Member via the My Disney Experience app for assistance during your stay. This new feature will offer convenient support nearly anytime—so there’s no need to visit the Lobby or stand in line.

Well, that should eliminate some of the in-person meltdowns. Now if they could only reprogram MagicBands remotely. Mine tend to need at least one adjustment every trip.

Lots of resort info....but do I still get a coffee maker in my DVC studio? Caffeine-addicted people NEED TO KNOW!

I know they have coffee makers in the Uni resorts right now. Hopefully that's a good sign for what we'll see in the WDW rooms. I need caffeine too!

What has been announced that you didn't expect??

Yeah, I find it all to be necessary but incredibly depressing. Disney and otherwise.

The link is not working for me

I’ve never done grocery delivery. Do they usually deliver them to the lobby? Could we still meet the person delivering in the lobby I wonder?

we always meet in the lobby because we order alcohol and have to show I.D.

Highly doubt this lasts that long.

June 28th FD package and no email yet. Anyone else still not get one? I’ve seen that they’ve gone out to a lot of people.

 

[little_orange_bird]

Any news on whether the quarantine orders from the tri-state area will expire soon?

 

[LSUmiss]

What has been announced that you didn't expect??

Grocery deliveries, airline check in, & Minnie vans. All things we use quite a bit. I’ve never done groceries but staying in a villa this time.

There was talk of coffee makers being removed from the rooms for a while.

I’d be surprised if they removed them there is list of room amenities that are “required” to be in the dvc rooms.

 

[LSUmiss]

So do you think we can still do that or has that not really been said?

This is a unique situation, however I doubt they are removed.

I have no idea. This is the first I have seen it come up.
