Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[rockpiece]

I agree, nothing like looking at the bus stop wait and getting a Uber , then getting dropped off before most of the people in a line even get on the bus. Same at the end of the night order a Uber and get back to the room, no standing in line, no standing on the bus and no unwanted interactions. I really find it hard to see how that’s not magical.

This. The only time we take disney transportation back at night is via the skyliner If we are at the Riviera. Other than that we are taking a uber/lyft and it is always so quick.

Very excited the boat will be going from WL to MK . That was a big draw for us when picking that resort. Even though I know the boats may not be able to fill as fast as busses at least if Disney chooses too they can see how many people have park reservations from the resort and plan accordingly. I’m very interested to see how Disney uses having the park reservations knowledge with the transportation from the resorts. They may not have the CMs yet but they will at least know how many people to expect needing transportation every morning from the resorts and where they are headed.

Same here. We love WL because of this. Will be thrilled to see the boats.

I don’t believe they did, but I do know that APs were also not offered any sort of refund (TDR’s no refund policy on tickets is notoriously strict). And remember that the clock for APs here doesn’t restart technically until August 11 if you opt for the one-month bonus. Not saying it’s the ideal scenario for WDW but just worth noting imo.

What if your AP expires before October. Will you still get the bonus month?

I think that sales will resume. My money is on sometime during July. The question is what time period Disney will allow people to actually make reservations for... I wouldn't be surprised if booking started in July but reservations were for August and beyond or something like that.

No idea on the AP thing. I miss Remy though! Hi Remy if you are lurking around here silently!

As for time frame wonder if it will be similar to for how long CMs are blocked from going to the parks, which is through Sept. Wondering if Disney is thinking "let's get through Sept and then see how things are). By then MLS is long gone and nearing the end of the NBA so will be trending towards a different look anyway

As a VGF guest, planning for an ADR at Whispering Canyon, hoping to try Geyser Point, and still keeping her fingers crossed that Hoop Dee Doo comes back...definitely happy for the boat launch.

It’s worth noting regarding the TDR reopening that APs are not included in the initial reopening period at all. Mind you, their AP system/ticket structure is different than WDW’s but still worth mentioning it could always be worse.

Isn’t TDR operated by a company other than Disney and they just pay license rights? So there’s no way we can compare what the APs get here stateside vs overseas because it’s not being decided by the same corporation.

Can you post a picture of the ones that you referenced in bold?

This is a sefie from my phone so hopefully it shows up all right. This is a homemade mask, but basically some try to go in a straight line from chin to nose. They look nicer and I made a few like that, but doing the curve leaves a little air pocket that made it more comfortable since it wasn’t touching my mouth all the time. Hope that helps! (Also this one is slightly too big on me)

Very excited to say I am going to CM preview for MK on the 7th (thanks Disboard friend!!) and DHS on the 13th with a friend. aside from AP preview and my 3 regular AP reservations. So lots of content to come, live streaming on my page (link in my signature) and SiDisney and taking lots of videos for SiDisney
Anything in particular you want me to focus on through my tear filled eyes?
I'm planning on focusing on safety and cleaning procedures, ride loading, restaurant and shops walk throughs, relaxation zones (masks free) and hoping to get some of those pop up parades

Congrats, I'm so happy for you.

Maybe a) how many masks you think an average person is going go through in a day, with all the sweat.

b) how strict the photo procedures will be. I know at Universal, they are allowing people to (at a safe distance) remove masks temporarily for pictures. I know Disney has not said that will be the case at WDW, but they haven't said it wouldn't, either.

will do, my DD was told in training that people can take their masks off for a quick pic but have to put them back on right after, but I will look for that as well once the parks reopen

Thank you so much for doing this. We all need a little Disney to brighten our days.

Incredibly careful, lol. She left LA County, the current hotbed of COVID, to retreat to Colorado. Not really smart, or "incredibly careful" to make a move like that.

She's also going to be back to WDW opening day after yelling at anyone who would listen online about being at WDW on closing day

She said quarantined for 2 weeks at her home in LA, then drove to her family’s (empty) home in the mountains in CO. She’s driving 30 hours from CO to WDW to cover the opening because she won’t fly. She has said she wouldn’t be going if it wasn’t her job (you know, a freelance theme park journalist who relies on theme parks for income), but okay

Interested in seeing if they are letting people wear gaiters in the parks (without earloops). I know they are in DS but want to see if they are allowed in the parks. Really hoping they are because it is what works best for us. Thanks in advance!

This might be silly, but could you see what little food booths are open? Like The Smiling Crocodile or Terra Treats? Just because they are supposedly on the reopening list, but I have NEVER seen them open.

I've also been wondering about the scattered food carts (spring rolls, popcorn etc)
