I thought the same but with the hotel side not opening till sept 24th, I suspect the teams will be around till about then.

right and the Yacht will be vacated before August 24(or maybe 28).

NBA is bringing their own chefs. They are able to use Disney chefs too but I doubt they’ll be using V&A’s regularly.

I could see Pop trying to get a meal in there.

And if we'd just locked down the country for three weeks back in March, there's a good chance there wouldn't be any COVID in the U.S. at all. But, too inconvenient. So here we are.

yes and those of us who have followed every precaution are now told to “ just stay home” because we don’t feel safe out and about with the way people are behaving.

Has anyone or does anyone know anyone who has checked into a Disney hotel this week from the tri-state area?...if so..any issues with being a resident of one of those states under 14 day quarantine?...our numbers are better than FL!

The new Instagram sensation! I am definitely grabbing a selfie there...wonder how close they will let me get.

ETA: I have zero interest in NBA or the players so I will be there to gawk at the lovely blue wall, not them.

The BTFU Blue Wall is my new favorite Wall of Disney

When does the barbed wire get installed?

What they're not saying is that the fences are electrified.

The only thing I’m kind of wondering is... and this is extremely unlikely. But what if all the teams at GF are out of the playoffs earlier than expected? Are they just gonna let the resort sit empty? Block it off for one team instead of moving them?

You’re right. And because of that, I thought they’d come up with a way to separate the areas in a way that doesn’t visually impinge on MY vacation.

A fence on the beach and right next to the pool area is most definitely visually impinging on my vacation. Ugh.

Probably doesn't make you feel any better, but we stayed at GF when they were building VGF and this fence is vastly nicer than the walls and fencing they put up for that. They had walls at the beach pool and you, literally, had to walk through a construction tunnel to access the slide for the pool. I remember seeing bridal parties during our stay and feeling very badly that this was the atmosphere they were getting married in. I don't think it was what they were hoping for their big day.

Any guesses on if the parks will use the biometric finger scan when they reopen?

Bars, clubs, parties and indoor social gatherings are what is driving the spikes across the country. Bars are literally the perfect place for Covid to infect people. Small indoor spaces, difficult to socially distance and impossible to wear a mask and drink.

Plus all the making out

In honor of simpler times I miss running by "3rd shift custodial" in Anaheim rundisney races. They seemed to really enjoy having us come through at way-too-early-in-the-morning.

Are we still waiting on news?

Barb wire? The lake is going to have frickin sharks... with frickin lasers.

Doubt it. Check back around 9pm friday.

They will be using V&A’s all the time. It is being repurposed as an on-site Gold Club for the NBA.

I’m thinking whatever Carlye is sitting on, we’re not getting tonight.

The map Scott provided isn’t TERRIBLE. I would have preferred they cut straight over from Sugar Loaf toward the pool then cut just behind Big Pine Key. But it could definitely have been worse.
