Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[WonderlandisReality]

Jeff Vahle just left a note for all WDW CM on the HUB that the plans for WDW reopening WILL continue as planned, with emphasis on cleaning, social distancing and safety

thats #1 from my list this morning.

I still need ADR information and trip reports from people there now.

Our Magic bands have shipped! July 30-Aug 10 trip.
I received this email ..but, nothing to confirm our trip (did wait on hold and get our resort moved and booked resort reservations). No emails from Disney except for cancellations of special bookings and ADR...Adds a level of anxiety that is unnecessary. IMHO

Just an FYI, in case there was any doubt, was just told by a CM that the 35% discount is for 2020 stays only, you cannot move it to 2021. Which was what I thought but was hoping for better news.

The CM I spoke to said it wouldn’t be good for any modification. We wanted to move our dates in 2020 to later in 2020.

Hi everyone I’m going in July At pop and I never received a confirmation email should I be worried ?

I am at Pop in July as well and didn’t get an email. Through chatting with a CM this morning, they said I didn’t have to confirm anything, just proceed with the online check-in and that shows Disney I am still coming. I’m guessing this is only because Pop is on the list of open resorts. All the CM asked for was my resort and vacation dates.

There is a great video by Molly from allearsnet that shows her experiences through multiple resorts-- also resorttv1 has a poly walkthrough. Found on the youtubez.

Disney won’t be at fault for cases anymore than anywhere else that’s open but I will be very surprised if cases that are traced to being at Disney don’t get media attention. It will not be treated like someone picking it up at a grocery store or going to a grocery store infected.

You'll get headlines like this. It isn't just disney. Anybody who holds an event and causes cases will get called it.

Quick MB question: Does anything think ones from 18 months-2 years old will still work?

Yes for contact use but probably not for ride photos.

Folks will be wearing a mask for rides. I suppose some will still want the photos - but many will not.

I was just curious if anyone else who didn’t get the park reservation email from Disney before it went live, get a delayed one? I have 3 different reservations between now and December with tickets in our account and never got an email (and I keep checking junk mail). I’m truly disappointed I was not notified by Disney, because I did get the email saying we would have first priority when booking would begin.

I did however get a bizarre email to purchase my Disney Food and Wine 1/2 marathon pictures from 2013 today from the company they use to take race photos. I was shocked they still have them almost 7 yrs later!!!

Completely OT, but what a cute dog picture in your avatar!

So weird about the flashback to 2013! I have three back to back DVC reservations and got emails to confirm two of them. I don’t know why I didn’t get an email to comfirm one of the resorts. I guess I will contact them later.

I doubt we will have masks on next year.

Count me in the group that will absolutely want the mask photos because what a WEIRD and CRAZY time to look back on in the future.

I also love the cakesle, FWIW.

I'd be careful about predictions right now.

Possibly. People have had mb’s older than that work for the remote stuff. I’d bring the old ones and then check mde a bit after the first ride with wirelesss photo transmission to see if it showed up. If not and your group is sticking together, you’ll only need to buy one. But if you don’t have photopass it doesn’t really matter. There’s only a handful of attractions that have an interactive mb element.

I wonder if the photos of people on rides not wearing masks will be deleted like other photo's in the past (middle finger etc. )

 

[rockpiece]

Have they said anything about removing masks for pictures and just putting them back on right after, sort of like how people remove bags and then put them back on? I'm not trying to take a picture in front of the castle with a mask on.

 

[SaintsManiac]

Ok let me put it this way, I won't be there until the mask requirement is over.

 

[jenjersnap]

I only received two of three back-to-back DVC emails too. I dread calling but guess I will, just to be absolutely safe. Of course, it also won’t let me order MBs for one of the three either so I guess the system doesn’t like three stays in a row, at least, not mine.

I don't wait for Disney to announce anything, they are terrible at communicating with guests. If it were me, I'd call.

Thank! Took your advice and called. Wait time was about 30 minutes. CM I spoke to DID confirm AKL JH will not be open on July 10th as previously released and moved us yet again. This our fourth resort move for thIs reservation. Good times!

I saw someone posted they received notification their magic bands had shipped— so hoping to see more of those posts today!

I got notification this morning that my magic bands shipped! I hope that's a good sign of the opening moving forward as planned.
