Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I probably should head out, but I don't wanna

For passholders who are planning to flat out cancel, I’m not sure if we’ll have access after but just incase we don’t, don’t forget to make sure you’ve got any pictures you want downloaded off your account.

Is it weird that I'm excited to see the FOP queue? I've never waited standby for that ride! I'd also love to hear about ROTR's wait time - I assume CM previews are very soon?

Not weird! We have only seen it once. It was last year and we loved it. Not waiting three hours for it though.

Any rumors about next round of cruise cancellations?

It's usually on Fridays that the bad news are dropped, or am I mistaken?

Disney now accepting VIP tour reservations, but only up to 60 days out:

Better sell the stuff quick on eBay before the general public realizes Disney has plenty of stock in their warehouses

If I were them, I’d quietly have more made...

Can those with an AP vouchers see the AP discount rates? I'm logged in but when I click the offer it just leads me back to the home page.

Yes. I saw the rates this morning with vouchers

Did it let you book as well?

I didn't try this particular time, but I've had my vouchers since January and my original trip that was supposed to be in June was booked with the AP discount. You just gave to have it activated by your arrival

Feeling your pain--I can't see the rates either and I don't feel like calling. Been a passholder for 20 years although my vouchers have not been activated (I went with a new AP when Disney hiked the renewal rates to save some $$ and purchased pre-price hike). IIRC, it is something about the way the APs are linked--there are two ways to do it and one way doesn't allow you to see AP things while the other way does. At the time I linked mine--I did it as I had always done it and never had an issue before. Sure would be nice to figure it out so I could see the rates.

Yeah I've tried on multiple browsers and computers and cannot access the rates. Wonder what gives!

I booked both this morning. Honestly, for $25, CM is currently the best deal at Disney. My tween/teens can easily Hoover a metric ton of Mickey waffles and bacon and have somewhat outgrown character meals.

Thinking the same thing. I was all excited for California Grill reservations but without the fireworks I think we'll skip it this time and instead do a Chef Mickey breakfast. Bonus to be able to walk to MK afterwards. Plus, cocktails.

This seems... not very "bubble"-y. Not that I'm necessarily surprised by this, mind you. But after all the "tHe BuBbLe" talk from WDW/NBA, this seems to go against that a little...

Tim Tracker was just in the Resort TV1 live stream - also again, have been passively watching since this morning on the kitchen tv - have been seeing some pretty decent compliance and also more importantly almost - the level of cleaning that Disney is doing is just awesome. They were going up and down every single railing and bench on the Liberty Belle - like full surface cleaning.

Also they said that the line was so crazy for Splash partly because people were doing the Ship to Home option at the end of their purchase - and sending everything to their residence.

If anyone is looking for the disposable masks Office Depot has a great price right now. These would be great for the parks.

Thanks for posting. They are decent quality and the exact same masks that Costco is selling for $5.00 more, per box.

Our cruise on Oct12 would be in the next round of cancellations. I haven't heard a thing. We only have a few more days to cancel with no penalty. We're going to cancel if they don't cancel us. Our state is now on the NY quarantine list thanks to that little rally that was held here a couple of week ago. Up until then, we were doing great. We saw them triple over the weekend and everyday since then, we've increased by 20-30% every day.

Well they still wouldn’t be in there with guests.

I never thought for a second they wouldn't have exclusive events for the players.

They even said it when the bubble was announced.

I’ve been doing the same. Also really pleased to see the level of periodic cleaning and mask compliance.

I’m also thrilled with how many no touch hand sanitizer stations are present. I hope those NEVER go away.

Oh, I expected the events, too. And yes, no guests, but I would think the CMs operating the rides and interacting with the players during the after-hours events likely won't be in their own bubble outside of these events, so that seems like a risk I would think the NBA higher ups wouldn't want to take. Much smaller chance of contamination than being in with guests and CMs, though, absolutely.

I just understood the bubble to be fully exclusionary, I guess, so any non-NBA player (or staffer or authorized personnel or family) coming in contact with the players at all seems like something they weren't wanting before. Definite possibility that I misunderstood the concept of the bubble, though.

Isn’t RNRC is a pretty tight squeeze for the super tall guys? Interesting choice.
