Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Anna_Sh]

I’m so impressed with what I’m seeing! Things certainly look different, but in no way less magical. The CMs must have worked so hard to get all of the changes done in time. I’m looking forward to going in August (once I’m not blocked anymore)!

Interesting to see the wait times - wondering if some are due to some rides being much more capacity reduced than others. Like Space Mountain is only 5 minutes and Peter Pan is only 15, but the Tea Cups are 20 mins

The wait times are mostly accurate so far. Space was a little longer. They look like they are going to be way longer but it’s due to the spacing. They are slightly underestimated I’d say compared to how they used to overestimated.

While I'm actually a big fan of Ana Cabrera this is accurate but also a bit misleading. You can check out the raw data yourself but the largest hospitals in Broward continue to have between 17 and 20% ICU availability, the largest hospital in Orange county has about 26% ICU availability. This is very similar to where they were last week. ICU availability typically runs at about 40 to 20% in larger hospitals. Small hospitals and specialty hospitals will run closer to 5 - 0% availability at any given time. Things do appear tighter in Miami Dade and Hillsborough with 10 - 15% availability in their largest hospitals.

All that being said, I'm here to hear about soft openings today! Hoping to see disney lead the way on making entertainment as safe as possible in this crazy world we all live in currently.

So unfortunately I have been hospitalized 4 times in the last 2 years. Each time was a miserable experience. I cannot fathom being hospitalized thousands of miles from home. I hated being away from my wife and kids and the inability to participate in the daily tasks of life. I. can’t imagine putting them through the anxiety of waiting around in a hotel while I am laid up in a hospital.

same here - it might be the fact that i keep canceling trips and i want to be there so badly - but it looks pretty great.

5 minute wait for Flight of Passage. Who would have ever thought.

I'm so hoping to get like 3 rides in on FOP Friday lol. I havent ridden it in well over a year because the wait is always so long and I'm a local so I could never get an FP for it

Disney hasn't released that info.

Does anyone know if Tim Tracker is there today? I'm wondering how long we need to wait for a video from him.

If I was a betting man I'd say he will be there. He definitely has CM friends that would give him an invite and he's already gone to other parks a bunch of times so it's not like he's still in that "i'm not going to go" phase that he was in several weeks ago.

He isnt a CM so he probably isn't there. Maybe later this week but Idoubt even then he will go. He has been leery of getting out.

CMs can invite people today. That's how we are getting some great streams today like the resorttv stream. Like I said in my previous post, Tim has already been to a bunch of parks already and Universal multiple times. He's also been to Disney Springs a bunch. I'd say he would go if one of his CM friends gave him an invite. However...he still probably won't ride any indoor rides.

There are other media outlets there as guests of CMs.

How does a CM Preview work? I am seeing multiple bloggers/vloggers there, are the CMs allowed to invite people who aren't CMs besides their family?

I was thinking this earlier....is this is a CM preview, then who is working all the rides? lol

 

[Hummingbird]

I would be way too creeped/weirded out if I was a solo guest on some of these rides. I think I would skip Splash entirely, and is Pirates alone? Forget that .

I rode Infinity Falls (Kali River at AK) at SeaWorld alone in a raft by myself the other day and it was so exciting but completely unnerving because I kept thinking the raft was gonna tip over because no weight to steady it out lol

I know he has reservations for the AP previews, so at the very latest we’ll get videos this weekend. But I wouldnt be surprised if hes there today. I too am anxiously awaiting his return to the parks (Disney)

Love seeing in the streams today how everyone is doing really well with keeping their masks on and social distancing. These are mostly CMs though so it makes sense that they would be better at following the rules. Wonder what it will be like when the parks open to the public!

I think the AP previews is when the concern might come in play. But for some reason I envision a high compliance rate. They’re going to take it very seriously, if they weren’t, they would have delayed the opening

Yes I think today will go without a hitch or any negativity. That could change this weekend.
