Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Sandiz08]

I think everyone is aware of the risks they are taking to go to WDW. The push notifications ,the websites, these forums, if they are not, then they are not paying attention. Those who will go, will go and those who won't, won't. Lets get back to what this forum is really for.

Just a friendly PSA.

If you’re going to Disney in the next few months and think that the anticipated experience just looks scary on paper and it won’t be strict once you get down there;

If you cant handle Disney at its worst, then you dont deserve Disney at its best




And to the Anti-Disney Openers, and the passive aggressive I-Told-You-So’er’s;

As my friend Thumper would say;

“If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all"


Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July weekend.

The go to source for, no nonsense, gets to the point posts

People should be willing to quarantine themselves after coming back from a place like WDW without the need for a government order. It's a common sense and good idea thing to do.

What about local passholders like me? I certainly can’t quarantine after every day visit I make. Actually, I can’t quarantine at all even if I leave the state without using up all of my vacation time. Nor am I expected to quarantine.

Oh yes let’s guess what might come back for this new modified F&W experience! The nitro truffle was mentioned a few pages ago....

OOOH the loaded Mac & cheese!

Come onnnnnnn, raclette!

Anyone take the magical express recently? How are they doing that?

Just got back from the one night stay at the Poly
Disney and the CM are trying very hard to implement guidelines to keep everyone as safe as possible but I still saw 2 older ladies not wearing their asks in public places, close to other people who were not their family (poly lobby and GF gift shop) and the CM didn't say anything
These CM need to be put the fear of God in their Disney hearts and be more persistent with EVERYBODY, no exception
I sat at the pool area, with the kid playground, for a while and everyone wore their masks going into to fenced area and then when settled took them off, this was completely fine with me because everyone was pretty spread out.
Probably the biggest impact at the resorts will be the quick services, I mentioned yesterday food is being made on the spot which means that your quick service service will take you at least 10 min for the simplest of meals. Also the fact that you can't serve drinks yourself at the fountain will take time when more people start showing up. The area where the fountain drinks at Capt Cook are is tiny, they left 2 tables there and once more than 2 parties are there waiting for a CM to serve your drink the line will spill outside, also my "green" heart is dying a bit each time they gave me a meal for one inside a paper box inside a huge brown paper bag. Each time I ate I gave the bag back to the CM so they would put it in their recyclable bin, these observations is just so you know what to expect
I felt safe for myself because I stepped away from those ladies who were not wearing their masks, I felt everything was clean and the signage is clear and EVERYWHERE.
I'll see how park signage and mask wearing will be next week at the parks, the real test will be full AP preview day.
I implore everyone coming to please be extra mindful, we all want WDW to reopen as safely as possible but also being realistic that the virus is here to stay and we all have to learn how to adjust our way of being with it in mind being at WDW or anywhere else.
And please stop judging others, everyone has a very personal decision to make, judging Disney on opening is not helpful either, it's a waste of an argument because they will do whatever they want to do.
I have my DD at the park right now, and I would lie if I told you I am not concerned but again we all take the risk each time we step out of our house or let someone who doesn't live with you come in. So all we can do now is proceed with caution, wear the mask, wash your hands, don't touch your face and be kind to one another

This thread is startting to get a little testy. everyboddy may want to take a few steps back from the keyboard so we don't get it locked.

In honor of Hamilton dropping on Disney+ tomorrow, might I suggest

“Madison, Jefferson, take a walk. Hamilton, TAKE. A. WALK.”

to the bolded, I agree but feel like that has always been a challenge for Disney as they want to maintain the "magic" and "Disney feels" so they try the soft approach with everyone and often it won't work. Hopefully people will comply and I do hope Disney has enough "extra" CMs to focus on this enforcement rather than leaving it up to front line CMs on top of their day jobs

As to the two older ladies scenario - hopefully with them keeping capacity low it will be easy to just avoid people that aren't complying. but like you said, if in scenarios like when in line for your quick service meal or drink refill it might be more challenging

Isn't this thread about coronavirus and its impact on Disney?

The covid situation has drastically changed in the last 24 hours that's news and worth a discussion. Particularly in Florida which could effect Disney. The US just had it's single largest day number of cases come in. That is news , you better believe Disney is watching this!

 

[DGsAtBLT]

what's that ?

Cheeeeeeeeese

 

[RhodyKP]

Some of those are so bang on, yet they really missed out on some opportunities.

Lakers should have 100% been Pocahontas in her canoe, referring to the origin of the name. (Orginally from Minnesota, with the lakes)

Pacers should 100% have been Cars or Herbie related, referring the the origin of their name (Pacecar of the Indy500)

Mulan for Golden State seems like a good fit, considering the Bay Area's Asian population and her status of a, duh, Warrior.

She says on her Insta page that all of the logos were made to visually resemble the original team logos as closely as possible.

I'm not a basketball person, but I do quite like the cute logos

I am scheduled to arrive in 13 days. I am from NY and will, as of today, need to quarantine both on my way in, and when I return home. I am watching and commenting, not to criticize, but to engage in banter that is going to help me in two ways:
1. If the situation improves and I see people from the Orlando area telling me that masks are being worn in and around the community, I can feel better about going.
2. If there are people consistently downplaying the numbers and reporting that masks are not really be worn by everyone, everywhere in and around the community, I will be forced to cancel my trip.
Please don't make assumptions about people's intentions when clearly many are trying to figure out of Disney will be safe for them.

You should not base whether you keep or cancel your trip on what thousands of other people are doing and whether or not they are or are not wearing masks. If you have concerns at all about going you should not go. It is unreasonable to think that Disney will be "safe" or "unsafe" based on what some people on a message board say. You should consider your own feelings on the current situation on data provided by the State and cancel if you don't feel like you'll be ok if lots of people aren't wearing masks.

Oh that looks so good !!

I'd still go if I had a vacation planned. Disney is smart and will do what needs to be done. If some people don't follow the rules? Ok, I just walk away from them and continue doing my own thing.

I believe there are just as many people who have the virus in other places, as their are in Florida. Some don't know. Some have mild and didn't get tested. Some places have better testing, some don't

I can't compare now, to the beginning in NYC when nobody knew anything and everyone was overwhelmed.

I personally don't expect to see anything close to the terrible things that happened in NYC again. I hope

So in the end, I would still go, and just be safe about it. Then again, I don't have it planned so maybe my mind would be different

Thats just me though. If you don't feel safe, don't let anyone influence you. Do what you feel is right. You'll see Disney again in the future. Nothing wrong with saving money

Exactly they better stop complaining or Disney will make them eat all there meals at Sci-Fi Dine in Theater

No more like at Cosmic Ray’s.
