Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[chicagoshannon]

How about how fast those AP reservation days are going on weekends? I’m admittedly surprised!

I think that's to be expected since a lot of people are working. I would expect weekends to go first.

Dr Fauci, moments ago:
“What we are missing in this is something we’ve never seen before. A risk to you is not isolated to you. Because if you get infected you are part, Innocently or inadvertently in propagating the dynamic process of a pandemic Chances are, that if you get infected you are going to infect someone else. And although you may fell well...you will infect someone else who will infect someone else...you have a societal responsibility....we are all part of the process (in stopping this pandemic)”

The only way we get through this is collective good > individual freedoms. Live your life, take trips, go out, but WEAR A MASK and keep your distance.

This news today also suggest bars are just by their nature a problem. It seems this is mostly agreed on now.

That’s another significant blow to the cruise industry and being profitable.

How many "stand alone" bars there there in Disney?

From what is being reported this order DOES NOT apply to a business that serves both food and alcohol.

"Bars" in Florida have been defined throughout this pandemic as any location that derives more 50% of their revenue from alcohol sales. There are a number of locations -- including some DS bars, pool bars, and F&W booths -- that would likely fall under that classification.

I can't even wrap my head around what they do in the near future....

Sheesh folks. I jump to the end to see what’s new around here... *facepalm* Guess Rteetz probably tried to eat lunch...

Let’s remember in his honor: THE TOPIC IS DISNEY OPERATIONAL UPDATES

Not speaking for rteetz because he may not agree but I think there is literally nothing more important to a a Disney trip right now than how the virus impacts it.

It is incredibly important that people are aware exactly what they’re walking into IMO. Yes they should be seeking out that info themselves, but some won’t.

100% this. If Disney doesn't change their opening date (although I think they will) people should be prepared to cancel if they want.

Oga's. Baseline taphouse probably too. Two that come first to mind. Baseline though might be able to just close off inside seating. Oga's has no real options.

I kinda felt like we had a nice bond going a few days ago where we were helping and supporting each other and now the poison is seeping in. It is unfortunate that we can’t see different sides, respect different opinions and agree that it is really okay to disagree.

Can you tell I teach Elementary school?

You are of course correct
People are just passionate. Some just want to get past all of this to get back to their happy place, some have been impacted by the virus in a personal way, some, like me, are dying to get back to WDW and know they can’t or should not. I think given all this the board has become pretty good at maintaining civility. I try not to take disagreements personally or apologize if someone noted I have offended them. It’s just tough to get through the day these days..

They usually do. I just post the links for folks on our boards to follow along.

F&W Booths would probably be considered OUTSIDE and would not be effected. Mostly the inside places and those with no outdoor seating will be effected.

As I said earlier, I just hope we can stick to the theme park areas. This thread is not for discussing vaccines nor what is happening in other states.

I’m thinking Jock Lindsey in DS wins worst re-opening timing...

Also spoke to an agent in Florida that said he expects Disney to still open. He said the reason being is Disney/universal are some
Of the safest places to actually be due to how strictly guidelines are enforced and they will continue to enforce safely.

An agent should absolutely not make such a claim. Irresponsible to give people such a false sense of security. The parks have not even opened yet. It’s not just about the measures Disney puts in place, those measures are reliant on guest behavior and compliance. Of which I don’t have much confidence in given 1. How many guests behave normally and 2. How people on here have suggested ways to skirt the rules.

No one should say a theme park is the “safest place to be.” You know what is? Home.

Of course a travel agent wants people to go.

 

[Arguetafamily]

To someone else's point, where are the other themeparks in all this, the already opened themeparks? When did they open? Has it been two weeks?

 

[Jrb1979]

We're in the same boat. We're going on our late honeymoon and looking forward to goofy mask pictures to commemorate the most unique trip we'll ever take!

I can't even wrap my head around what they do in the near future....

They should have done what we did here in Ontario Canada. Bars and restaurants are open but only patios.

about 3. So I think that is part of the concern

 

[dlavender]

Why can't any press conferences actually start on time?
