Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[mmackeymouse]

Have you heard any whisperings about the return of CG brunch? I realize that there is a buffet component but I think a pastry basket (I dream of those guava pastries) and charcuterie type platter could easily sub for the self-serve areas.

No way.....the buffet component is the best part, so for me, a pastry basket and charcuterie would absolutely not be a good substitute. It would also be pretty wasteful.

What I think would work, though, is have different carts....a sushi cart, a charcuterie cart, a bread cart etc.....all covered while in transit, but roaming the restaurant.....so all those yummies from the buffet is available but you only get what you want....less food waste that way.

Carts sounds like quite an expensive investment. Wonder if food wastage is cheaper. But I don’t care how they make it work, I just want my brunch back.

You know what else would be nice if a lot of you would support your local park as well. I would hate to see local parks disappear.

My local park is Six Flags Great Adventure. I’d be ok with it disappearing.

I don't quite understand what that has to do with confronting strangers about the mask issue, and most parks don't even allow cell phones on rides anyway to begin with, making it a moot point. Personally, I don't want to spend my vacation yelling at people I don't even know.

I was replying to that CM's confronting guests using vigilante justice.

Yeah, they’re not investing in carts and going table to table passing out food. Also, with the buffet system there was always food waste ... food piled on people’s plates they didn’t end up eating because they took too much, not to mention the food left on the buffet.

I expect CG brunch to be nothing like it was before, if they even bring brunch back anytime soon.

But that's not vigilante justice? Vigilante justice is guests confronting guests.

Agreed.....but without that sushi......Cali Brunch just isn't Cali Brunch.

Also...pretty sure Be Our Guest has some carts that aren't gonna be used for a while. Haha.

I’m afraid brunch may be a goner too, except that it is such a revenue generator they might figure something out,

Hey, what are the doing with all those BOG QS carts?! Maybe they can re-purpose! Bob, there‘s an idea for you, courtesy of @mmackeymouse and me.

Also, with the buffet system there was always food waste ... food piled on people’s plates they didn’t end up eating because they took too much, not to mention the food they had out that wasn’t taken by the end of the last seating. Buffets have tons of waste.

oh my gosh, JINX! I didn’t see your comment before I posted the same thing!

Okay, okay...it doesn't have to be on a cart.

All I want is everything from Cali Grill brunch that I enjoy to be available for me to get upon request....is that too much to ask?

Sigh.

Dramatic, entitled sigh.

I think most people want a lot of things (fireworks at Magic Kingdom, normal character experiences, etc.) but there’s just the reality that most things will be different for the foreseeable future

Disney’s security team is made up of ... CMs.

I understand that, I mean the other CM.

Those BOG carts are something else. You could hear them rolling from a mile away.

True, but we can dream!

My local park is Six Flags Great Adventure. I’d be ok with it disappearing.

You reminded me of the last time I was at Fiesta Texas. I don't remember the name of the coaster, but I really thought I felt my brain hitting the skull inside my head. I had a headache for hours after the ride. I am so thankful for Disney World.

This is the report that is causing people to react, but the report doesn’t have any numbers to back up the claim made in the headline.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnew...nts-coronavirus-cases-spike/story?id=71601370

That’s a terribly written article. I wish that news agencies would be more careful when writing things that are going to frighten people. It doesn’t even give the timeframe during which these cases have supposedly come to the hospital, and the only stat it gives is a reference to two patients.

Disney is my local park...if by local you mean living a few hours away

I was meaning more of those that live close to a Cedar Fair park or Six Flags.

We spent the day at Universal and they were nice but strict about the masks. I was asked politely to pull up my mask more above my nose. (It had slipped down slightly during a ride. They were on it. I imagine Disney will be the same way.
