Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[TheMaxRebo]

Is there anyone/anywhere that is projecting what RotR queue will be on a "full" day? Assuming "normal" uptime, are we looking at 1 hour waits or more like 5? Maybe on July 15th, we'll get that number.

hard to know until we know what capacity it will be able to run at with social distancing. My guess will be 1-2 hours ... I don't think they could fit more than that in the queue while keeping social distancing

I also don't know what they will keep park capacity too. I mean, if they keep park capacity to 12,000 that should fit everyone through the ride (assuming it is running like a "good" day in the past even if not at max capacity)

Thoughts:
DH had a silver AP, expired 03/08/2020. Now says it expires 7/19/2020. We are going 3 days prior to his new expiration. I didn't realize his wasn't expired and added a comp ticket for him for one day. This morning I booked HS for all of us, but parks for the other 2 days for the kids and I. Later, I realized he had that not expired AP and tried to add him back in to our park pass. I got through the castle and space mountain just to find out he can't be added. Something about no ticket or something, so I'm guessing it's reading the comp ticket as being booked and not looking off this pass. I don't think I have the energy to call, but I'm going to need to, right? (He's ambivalent about going, which also plays into my desire to not call...and if he doesn't go, I will definitely cancel so his spot becomes available).

I was able to get in......It took about an hour and a half of staring at the cartoon castle but it finally cleared and I was able to log in and secure reservations for myself and my daughter each day we wanted: December 11, 12, 13, and 14. Good luck everyone still trying!!

I really find this strange if they are trying to cap the capacity for any parks to a specific percentage/number of people to NOT include those too young for tickets.

I'm sure the infants are counted or estimated in the attendance cap somehow even though we are not booking them. Like 1 infant for every x number of tickets.

Hope that was for some reason other than this considering it wasn't anticipated to open until 7am

There was insider news that CMs started testing the system at midnight and then speculation ran rampant that they may have been considering opening the system sooner to relieve pressure on the morning load. I don't mind the staying up to get in part, I mind the inconsistency and IT crashes that Disney apparently cannot for the life of them address that has led to some people not being able to access the system now all day, or for only parts of their stays.

Looks like this was challenging. I hope everyone got their park reservations.

Agreed as I think the July 15th reports should be quite telling. In a warped and somewhat positive way, this new distancing regulation should allow RotR queue fans to really hone in on their attraction detail skills. At least that's the way I would approach it.

Does anyone have any information about park reservation access for good neighbor hotels (Disney springs area)?

I think that was today. I made park reservations with a Swan reservation today.

Update: spent four hours on the phone total only to be moved from POR to CBR. Cost was the same so no gain or loss except that we have no interest in CBR. We've stayed there before and don't love it. BUT I do not understand them not letting us use the discount to come later. The resort we booked and love is closed fine. Let us use it later when it makes more sense for everyone involved. I've only complained at WDW once in 12 stays and it's because our room was filthy so I just asked for cleaning or to move rooms. I've never sent an email. But I will this time.

I’m with you. I still have to call but also booked at POR. Will also be emailing. Did they say anything about a discount to move to a deluxe?

Since they can't pass all the ketchup around there is a new ketchup song/performance at Whispering Canyon

I saw pictures of the buses and if those work out I may drop the car rental we have. Is it confirmed that skylines is gonna be running too?

Now when will dining reservations open?

My Hilton Bonnet Creek Reservation would not work. I was able to reserve parks for a CBR Reservatio. Anyone else

Without going back a bunch of pages, is there any definitive answer as to why APs w/resort reservations are only allowed to book 3 days?

I was finally able to get in using an incognito browser in case anyone is still having trouble.
