Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[only hope]

OMGosh! When I first read this I thought they were offering WDW AP's for 30% off. Then I came back to reality and realized it was 30% off rooms.
Would be nice if they had 30% off parking and 30% off resort fees. That would be a deal!

Yeah, we were seriously considering splurging and staying for two nights instead of a vacation (live an hour away from WDW) til I came across the $27 parking fee. That takes the price from a splurge (around 167/night in August) to too high to justify.

I think the hospital situation in Florida or the Orlando area getting really bad could cause a delay, even if the state does not force a closure. I think they’d rather take the PR hit cancelling vacations than the PR hit of being perceived to be contributing to the issue bringing tourists in as well as forcing their CMs to work.

Otherwise I think we continue to be full steam ahead.

Not convinced. I still feel like they could pull the plug on re-opening. The numbers coming out of Florida are so bad, I'm not sure Disney can reasonably re-open in 10 days. But this is all conjecture and feeling--nothing real to back to it up.

I sure don’t rule it out, but I’m also surprised they’re willing to open with the current numbers. I do think it will definitely slow down any increases in capacity and them adding experiences back if the cases continue to rise- and there’s no reason to believe they won’t.

It's not 10 days its now 5 days. Previews start the 7th.

I just think its too late now to pull the plug.

You're right, I keep thinking about July 11 but previews are sooner!

I will save my final judgment for in-person but I am really not a fan of that pink color at all. These colors look great in Disneyland but I am just not crazy about them on Cinderella Castle. And I was really excited about the makeover when they released the concept art.

AND I love the cakesle

no hiding how bad the monorail sounds either. I’m glad that ive been to Disney enough that the monorail is no longer a novelty to me anymore. Either I park at CR and walk, take the boat/ferry from Poly if I’m staying there, or take the ferry from TTC. I havent been on the monorail in years

If they were seriously entertaining the idea of delaying, it would have came last week before reservations opened up. Disney read the tea leaves. They knew what was coming. But the train wasn’t stopping.

Going ahead with AP previews, knowing that they’d be almost all locals in one of the worst COVID states in the country at the moment, signaled that it’s all systems go.

Does anyone feel a little triggered by seeing the pink castle as flashbacks from park reservation disaster day? No? Just me? Okay

WOW, THOSE TURRETS ARE BRIGHT. That is going to take some getting used to. I don't think I like them.

The base color isn't as bad as it looked in some other pictures though. Much less salmon-y.

Agreed. This castle is not the same as the concept art- the pink was much more subtle and more graduated. This is far more "in your face" pink.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

Not a fan of the castle, the blue bugs me more than the pink, but if I’m not wearing a mask when I finally see it in person all will be right with the world, weird castle and all.

Give it a few years in the Florida sun...it will mute them colors right out..

Easier to transition a pink castle into a cake castle than it is a grey castle.

What we really need is a masked castle for the 50th.

I was showing my husband the new castle colors and also the concept art...

His reaction to the real thing is that we got "the Wish version" of the concept art.

I laughed. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT WHAT WAS ADVERTISED

Colours off, arrived months later than expected, I think he’s onto something!

A giant mask covering the Tunnel through the castle. Brilliant
