Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[New Mouse]

If the players are using SAB, there was really no other way around this. With the location of the slide, having to cross the walkway, thats just bad news written all over it

Disney has contiually one upped themselves with awful.guest service during this time!

Wow - so this is to keep people staying at the Boardwalk from approaching the Yacht and Beach clubs? Will they put fences to keep us from walking to Swan/Dolphin as well? They are very serious about keeping us from resort hopping aren't they? That would mean Swan/Dolphin guests would not be able to walk to Epcot?

What else were they supposed to do? The only reason NBA and Disney were able to come to a deal while Disney was also able to run their hotels and theme parks as normal is to make sure there was no way guests would come close to interacting with the players. Disney has been hemorrhaging money for almost 4 months, the deal with the NBA softened that blow a little bit. I might not be staying down there until the NBA moves to CSR, but if I we’re down there at this time, I would have understood why they were doing this

Wonder why room service is not an initial Phase option. Sure would be convenient and could easily been provided by a knock on the door and mobile ordering.

I haven’t seen any indication yet that guests can’t walk around the Boardwalk side to get to Epcot.

Has nothing to do with Resort hopping. I believe they’re allowing Beach Club guests to use the Boardwalk pool. This is done only for the safety of the NBA players staying at Yacht Club

Its likely just blocking the SAB entrance points. No reason to block anything else off.

Well unless they put up some sort of covering on SAB BCV guests will still be able to gawk at the NBA in the pool because Beaches and Cream is open. Not great optics for sure (of course that's only IF the NBA gets to use that pool)

I’m sure there will be precautionary measures taken to the guests coming and going to and from B&C.

We don’t know that yet until whoever took the pic gets us one from the other side. If all of YC is blocked off like I think it will be, guests of a BCV will be going over to the BW side if they’d like to take the boat to HS.

I really don't think NBA will be using SAB. it is simply going to stay closed until both BC and YC are re-opened.

Yep

 

[JM23457]

What is an approximate number for the after hours parties? Will this be comparable?

They'd better not be. We went to a Halloween party in August 2018 and it was incredibly crowded.

I don’t know if this means anything, but I just saw my first Universal commercial here in Florida since they closed. It highlighted their safety measures and how glad they are to be back open.

I just saw that here in IL too an AMC.

Exactly. Nobody will be able to gawk at players from B & C. So either there will be a screen up by the time players arrive or players won’t have access to SAB. My personal guess is the latter.

All I know from reading the last few pages is if hopping is offered, Epcot would reach capacity around dinner time nightly.

Does the fence mean that guests at the Poly will not have access to the boat to GF?

So multiple temperature screening tents have been put up at TTC, which is interesting because thus far I dont believe any guests presently on property have had to do temp checks at the resorts. Not sure what sites one is allowed to link to, but if you google "temperature screening tents disney world" you can see photos!
