Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

This was posted in a FB group - we knew most of this already but I thought the bit about some of the queues having partitions was especially interesting. I’m curious to see which queues and how that looks!

Parking and walking the MK/TTC parking lot in the July sun.... oh my. I swear Disney parking lots are some of the hottest places on the planet.

Yep - thanks ! Just filed dispute w CC company - had to send them the email from cirque that stated that I would receive a refund, weeks ago, which I never did -
they said that should help expedite the process

biggest issue now is that cirque is no longer responding to any of my emails

Sadly, if they’ve officially declared bankruptcy, they are protected against creditors- and you’re a creditor. Hopefully your chargeback goes thru before that point.

so upset! My sister is from KS and they just issued the quarantine for those traveling to FL. So I don't know whether or not they can come. they were coming for the all american baseball for my nephew to play in somewhere outside of Orlando. I splurged and rented dvc points on a 2 bedroom villa at AK. Guess it is going to be a lot of room for my family of 4. It was supposed to be my sisters first time! I don't think I will be fully relieved until after our trip ends.

I’ve been hunting for a bright side in all this and came up with this- since they didn’t employ any kind of new ride reservations, nothing moved to vq, possible they’ll go back to FP+ when things get better? I realize not everyone would consider this good news, but I really liked FP+!

last time I was there unless it was done yet, the tram didn't really help much as they moved the drop off

Cirque filed for bankruptcy protection yesterday. I don't know what that will mean for scheduled refunds.

I think that and new 2020 ticket sales Are both coming soon.

I hope so! I need tickets for December. Already have resort reservations.

With no disrespect to the Incredi-team (which I could only hope to qualify for through smiling only through my eyes!!), CMs from every line of business are saying they're being told Security will come down forcefully on those not complying with coverings guidelines. Though I'm personally still trying to reconcile this with launching F&W, I really hope this is true!!

ETA - also CMs from all four parks say the backgound music tracks that they're all used to include a spiel for thanking everyone for visiting, thanking everyone for wearing masks properly, thanking everyone for washing their hands often, and thanking them for maintaining distance... every few minutes... like less than 10 minutes between announcements... everwhere.

I don’t know if I’d say I liked it, but I’ve gotten used to it and would prefer it come back than some new (and possibly paid) system. My guess is it changes in some way though to go along with Genie (she says bitterly).

This actually doesn't affect my family as we have 3 toddlers so a single stroller and a tandem double stroller when we go to parks so it's easier for us to just hoof it to the entrances rather than bother with folding everything up and carrying kids and gear for a tram anyway

ETA: We usually beat the tram to the entrance too, with 2 strollers!

Just received an email around 2 mins ago from Cirque that I was on the "Refund List", and they are working as fast as they can to process refunds

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Disney is trying to figure a way to have fewer booths located in places where they can cordon off some spots for eating and drinking near the booths and not letting people walk around.

I believe they already have something like that in place on the path from future world to world showcase (I think the chocolate booth is usually on that path) and at the booths that were near Soarin'. I know there hasn't been enough space necessarily even in those spots but with reduced capacity I wonder if they will try?

I know it is not what anyone would want but I can't see any other way for them to have F&W and enforce masks.

Cirque filed for bankruptcy protection yesterday. I don't know what that will mean for scheduled refunds.

Per my credit card company, IF I was promised a refund in writing PRIOR to them filing for bankruptcy, I might be able to get the refund - ( because at the time, I could have been sent a credit voucher for a later performance)

They had me send them a copy of the email that Cirque sent me authorizing a refund

We know there will be at least 20 booths and that the flower and garden booths are still set up so...

Maybe they’ll add more of those little tables for F&W. That would leave the paths clear for mask-wearing walkers.

I wonder if they’ll just keep the F&G booth menus...
