Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Krandor]

Toronto arrives in Florida June 22nd and will set up their training camp at Florida Gulf Coast University at Naples Fl. This is because if they brought the team back to Toronto for camp - any player coming from out of the country would be held to the Canadian 14 day quarantine period before they could attend camp. They will still quarantine in Florida.. but only for seven days - as all teams must.

Yeah I know for MLS team arrival times will be staggered not by MLS but that teams are going to work out at their home facilities as much as possible. Teams in more restrictive states will come earlier and teams in less restrictive states will wait till the last minute. I expect NBA will be similar which would explain Toronto coming first.

“There is a potential that special access to the theme parks and attractions could be arrange, but will be at the sole discretion of the NBA. It's likely to happen after families arrive and will be held after hours, following day guests departures.”

I don’t get much right in the way of predictions, but I called this one. lol No way you bring the fam to WDW and don’t go to the parks. Early closings make it much easier to do too.

I believe @OnceUponATime15 called this some 10-15 pages ago. Nice job.

Special access to the theme parks hmmmm? Who could have predicted that?

I think lots of people called the access to the theme parks. Not sure anyone really believed they wouldn't be given access.

Oh it was hundreds of pages ago but some were in serious denial.

It seems like we hit the 1000th page of this thread forever ago but wasn't it like last week? At this rate we'll be at 2000 pages by this weekend, especially if more news is a-comin: SOON!

I’m not surprised that they might have access, but I did say that I didn’t believe they’d be allowed to.

 

[armerida]

Not to mention the restaurants.

So sad - no Yachtsman or Narcoosee’s Two of our favorites...

 

[0FF TO NEVERLAND]

Based on some of the talk radio shows on ESPN, a lot of these players without families will be very happy when they can have " guests " and bring in some outside entertainment..

Too much for disboards?

When I said it, I was told they were going to be kept in a bubble and weren’t going to be allowed to go anywhere but the resort and to play ball. Bwahaha...

I feel vindicated!

If the NBA allows.

37 pages in 24 hours. When the reservation system is announced we could easily see 10 posts/minute here and on the TPAS thread.

If the reservation system slowly leaks over the course of an afternoon and evening we might melt down the servers.

But did you really believe it? I wanted to believe it but knew they would most likely get access. Now how much earlier will they close down MK to let them go? I call 4pm.

It is only "potential" and "if the NBA allows it".

Even if you are right nobody likes an I told you so.

We'll have to wait and see what happens. Nothing yet it set in stone.

I still don't think they'll go to the parks until they are eliminated but a lot of things are possibile.

Oh it was hundreds of pages ago but some were in serious denial.

I think the bigger debate was if the players having access to the parks would impact regular guests

I thought they would have like a special event towards the end, sounds like this might be a bit more than I thought

 

[AmberMV]

Did anyone mention or find out what time the Dining Res Disney Hotline opens up on June 18 for the pre-July 11 crowd?

I always thought it would be either a soft open or after hours thing.

I was joking. It’s not exactly a massive, brilliant prediction giving me bragging rights. That goes to Sven/Flynn anyway, doesn’t it? But hey; I was right and I’m proud of it!

Again, joking. You know ha ha...

Seriously, whether they go to the parks or not shouldn’t bother anyone. It’s not like it’s affecting anyone. Probably better than going during park hours and people have to wait while they funnel vips thru.

Wow, they haven’t even finished this tournament and they are already thinking about future NBA at Disney tournaments.
