Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Eric Smith]

If UO has HHN and WDW doesn't have F&W or MNSSHP they would lose an incredible number of visitors-- there would be no impetus for fall travel whatsoever. Additionally, I highly doubt that the current restrictions will remain stagnent-- masks may be here for a while, but to think that Disney won't continue to reopen incrementally is unsupportable.

I don't think there is much crossover between the HHN crowd and the MNSSHP crowd except for locals who would normally go to both. HHN is way more adult oriented than MNSSHP. I think whether either event happens will depend on what the situation is with the virus in the country in a couple months.

Universal has been open for more than a week now, and open to the public for almost a week, and I haven't heard of any instances where temperature checks have resulted in anything dramatic. I think it'll be fine.

Housekeeping for hotels...does this mean they will not be making the beds daily but instead they will bring towels and empty garbage every 2 days?

It does not appear that they will be making beds. From DisneyWorld.com:

And during your stay, your room will receive a light cleaning service every other day, which will include:

• Removal of trash and used towels
• Replenishment of towels and amenities throughout the room and bathroom
• Wiping and cleaning of the vanity and counter surfaces
• Vacuuming if needed

That’s how they were before. Mine were purchased in 2016 and have always said that. Interesting

Nah. Looks like Scott has one of the old non-expiring tickets. My sister has a few of those and they show up that way in MDE.

Yeah, he appears to be referencing the new circle background for the tickets.

Well not as exciting as I hoped. Mine didn’t change colors lol

Yes the colors/background

 

[SaintsManiac]

Yes the colors/background

He’s going to confuse people with that post.

 

[Sandiz08]

I saw those colors pop up on my tickets last month, but they are gone now.

I’m not sure about HHN having anything to do with that. HHN and MNSSHP are so so different and their target audience is vastly different. Sure, there is is *some* crossover - people who would do both. But I don’t really see HHN taking the place of MNSSHP for people who were set on that.

For years Disney didn’t have F&W or MNSSHP. I don’t see a connection with those guests switching over to HHN. I think the people who really want a Disney fix soon and are comfortable traveling during a pandemic will go get their Disney fix, festival, party or not. I think parties and festivals will definitely come back, but I don’t think Disney needs to rush them this year.

I think Disney without MNSSHP and F&W would draw more guests than UO without HHN. I think UO has more to lose if they don’t do HHN.

True but HHN is pretty awesome and if Disney doesn’t have theirs open, it once again gives Universal a chance to have people visit who have never been there before.

If universal can even get a somewhat good percentage of people who have never went to come, that’s a win for them

My colours were like that yesterday. Back to single colour now.

How many things can we speculate from this?

How you can tell we are all desperate for news - we have grabbed onto a color change in the app for meaning.

If your tickets turned colors.... You will be in the first batch of park reservations. There.

We could say that about the water parks too. I don’t think Disney is trying to encourage people coming to the parks and won’t be for quite some time.

I’d be amazed, with all the restrictions in place, that they would have MNSSHP. I think the original dates are a near sure bet not to happen. I suppose if things improve dramatically, perhaps a few in October, but they’d have to return to fireworks, shows and parades and a huge increase in capacity limits. You have have to wonder if a few dates are worth it cost wise. I just don’t see it happening.

or they provide a different experience for MNSSHP - almost more of an after hours event with really reduced crowds but with a bit of Halloween Theme - - maybe still the trails and character out for distance phtoo ops in halloween outfits. But no fireworks or parade

Then see if people think it is worth the cost

 

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

Well I went on to check this out, and for the first time had a pop up window about check-in and social distancing.

Yes, but there you park in a deck, and then a screened before getting out in the open. Never exposed to the sun from your car to thermometer. There’s going to be a lot more standing in sun and waiting at Disney. Just may be something to really slow down entry with many rest and re-screenings needed.
