Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[MickeyWaffles]

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.

As Disney has stated, you must wear your mask at all times except while swimming and eating. They do not say it can be removed for photos, so no. Will people try to break the rules and get away with this? Of course.

You won’t be the only person wanting a maskless photo. Imagine everyone is taking their mask off for photos - what’s the point of the mask policy then if every guest is pulling it off for a picture?

Wear the mask. Follow the rules. If you can’t or don’t want to, don’t go.

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

I have 3 Diff MB orders all set to arrive 6/27 via USPS tracking

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.

I got emails for my two Pop stays at the end of August. I had already done online check in for both.

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.

Same with us! LOL it will certainly be interesting to look back at in the future...

They allow removal for photos in Shanghai. Guess we have to wait and see.

I think it’s naive to think that no one will get Covid from going to Disney you just have to be aware of the risk I wouldn’t go if you don’t feel comfortable

 

[Tjddis]

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

It’s unfortunate, and I know we are not supposed to discuss it, but this is where the dreaded 0 word raises it’s head. Media will pump up whatever angle supports their editorial POV. Like John Lennon once said just “gimme some truth”...makes it hard to truly evaluate situation...

 

[Tjddis]

That was supposed to say “P” word. Sorry

Actually down 500 if you are a glass half full kind of person.

Funny b/c my CM chat said I did have to call

 

[marx]

Should we call tomorrow if we didn’t get an email about confirming or cancelling?

I called guest services last night and was told that since I already checked in online I didn't need to confirm. To be honest, I didn't think the CM I spoke to was correct. She told me to call the Internet Help Desk about not receiving emails. I did, and the CM I spoke to opened a ticket. Again, confidence is low.

This should be interesting to see what happens from this.

Seeing as most of the people in this Union are not going to be in the Parks anyway for quite a while...

They're not looking to delay it looks like, simply looking for Disney to accommodate them with more testing.

Guys this is not a catch all news thread. Splash being rethemed has nothing to do with this thread. I have started a new thread for this news.

Sorry, I got excited! Plus they mentioned it won't affect the July 11 reopening for Splash so I thought it would be ok here.

exactly. This is a non starter. Disney hasn't called any Equity actors back as far as i know, for this very reason. Just want to pile on the bandwagon.

Also, Disney didn't delay DL due to anything other than the Cali government not allowing them enough time to prepare for the date that wanted.

I got two emails, one from my dvc reservation (I am a member) along with a TA booked Resevation. My TA booked trip sent me an email from Disney telling me to contact my TA if I was going. She was unsure and not aware of this when I called her about the email verification. She reached out to Disney and the cm was confused and put her on hold to investigate. She told her she put a note on the Resevation saying we were coming. My TA wasn’t convinced this cm knew enough about this email so she is going to call back.

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.

Thanks thats my pouting Boston terrier piper.

I wonder if there was a cut off date for the emails and one of the back to back reservations didn’t make the cut. My response date was by August 5th. Maybe they only sent emails to reservations through sept 15th? I have two other reservations but they are for the beginning and end of December and didn’t get anything for those but that’s so far away.

I just read that Disney is going to retheme splash to princess and the frog. So excited I love that ride but I’m tired of looking at Brer bears butt in every scene he’s in. They can do a lot with the princess and the frog change and it will fit nicely.
