Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[xuxa777]

Something I have been wondering about: I know they say it takes 10 to 15 minutes at closer than 6 feet to an infected person to get infected yourself, but does the 10 to 15 minutes have to be all at once? Does it have to be all from one person? We can assume that there will be infected (hopefully asymptomatic) people at the parks, and while I am sure it will be relatively easy to avoid being within 6 feet of anyone most of the time given the safety measures in place, there will probably be times you have no choice but to be closer to someone for a minute or two at a time. Each encounter on its own would not be enough to get infected, but what if you are close to five different infected people, each for 2 or 3 minutes, over the course of the day? Has anyone heard anything about cumulative exposure?

Realistically too many variables (humiditiy , wind blowing, fan, age of person, facing away or towards, is Yeti still broken etc. etc) to worry about it at that level. Just follow the general guidelines and you will be safe.

I’m an AP with Parks reservations. So I selfishly didnt take into account for the people staying at Disney, or off property starting this weekend that havent gotten tickets. If they have a set capacity built into the reservation system, it doesnt hurt to make tickets available to fill the available space

This is me and my group. We have 7 nights DVC at WLCC and BCV splitstay and hadnt bought tickets yet. Going at end of Sept early Oct. So my only anxiety at this point is actually being able to purchase park tickets.

What a rip off.

That’s rather inexpensive compared to some character meals. To each their own.

Think of it this way
Someone has bad body odor. you can smell it IF you are closer than 6ft and the odor travel from the person to you in 10 minutes . Downwind, less
Now if you go to another location and the person is there it'll be the same rules.
So i would think, no, it's not accumulative
Just my guess of course

Cumulative exposure can be a problem (its a hypothesized reason why some health care workers earlier on were becoming so much more ill compared to others) but in that case you are talking about extensive exposure to continuous large viral loads. While that is certainly possible just about anywhere right now, its more likely in a healthcare setting where large amounts of viral particles can be easily aersolized and thus remain in the air. Assuming everyone wears their masks, the actual amount of viral particles from an asymptomatic or presymptomatic person that could make it through their mask in droplet form, then through your mask, is hypothesized to be very low. Its one of the reasons estimates suggest 95% mask compliance would cut transmission rates by 60-75%.

Just watching the wait times is fascinating to me...

How they're getting 5 minutes for Flight of Passage and 45 minutes for Dinosaur (now down to 20) during the previews is quite perplexing.

Yes b/c it’s virus particles so if you’re standing less than 10 min near someone infected & move to stand near someone else infected, the clock starts over b/c it’s a different set of virus particles coming from a different host.

I know yesterday they were only loading one party per rover for Dinosaur, so that may be why the long wait, if they’re doing that again today.

Where are you finding the wait times? On my app it just has a --- for every ride at both parks

MDE is giving wait times for me

must be something about how they are running Dinosaur, ride capacity must be way down for that (relative to the decrease for others) as I just checked and that is at 20 and everything else in the park (FOP, EE, Safari, etc.) is at 5 minutes

Dinosaur was one vehicle per party yesterday. I’m not sure if they were loading both sides or just one.

I still am getting zilch on my app. What are the longest waits right now?

I don't remember, it's 4 rows right?

Surprised they don't do something similar to what Universal did on the Mummy, and board 1 party in row 1 and the other in row 4.

Just read on FB (posted by a travel agent)

2020 Stand alone park tickets are going on sale tomorrow. July 9th.

No word on time or by phone or online. But tomorrow!
Would link the post but it wouldn’t be allowed due to site rules

in AK only Dinosaur is over 5 minutes

In MK, Mine train is 30, Peter Pan is 20, BTMRR is 25, Splash in 30, Jungle Cruise is 30, Pirates is 15 ... everything else is 10 or less

3 rows of 4

I don't doubt that there are operational challenges, but it's still pretty weird to see. I mean, who is waiting the 20-45 minutes for Dinosaur when every other attraction in the park is a 5 minute wait? I guess people just got tired of riding FoP or wanted their very own time rover?

Thanks! Very interesting the waits, FoP a walk on I guess then. I could seriously not even get on a ride tomorrow and I'd still be happy, I feel very lucky to be able to go to Preview in the first place

I am the wrong person to ask as I am not really a fan of Dinosaur
