Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Mit88]

People that aren’t comfortable with going have every right to be in the parks as anyone else, especially when its their job. I dont want to see pictures like the 7DMT incident without any information of what may have happened to cause it, but if Disney is truly doing a poor job at something, it NEEDS to be known for the general public. People that are still going want to know what they’re getting into and if they’re told the experience is 10 hours of Magic because its only Disney Pollyanna’s covering the parks, then chances are you’re not going to get a true assessment of what is happening.

If theres bad, let it be known. If theres good, let it be known.

hahahahaha I'm just going to skip it this trip, I'll wait till Fast Pass + comes back

FP+ and VQ systems will be overwhelmed with CoA fans as soon as they’re reintroduced

Thoughts on when fireworks, fantasmic, Epcot fireworks, will be occurring again? I could tolerate a mask if they had fireworks

Likely going to be a while.

I think Disney isn't even thinking about those things right now. They have to focus on numbers this weekend and making sure they can manage crowd levels properly. And this week will most likely be more busy than the following weeks as locals get their Disney fix and there arent as many travelers to make up the usual numbers that they have.

So once they know what their average operating capacity is going to be at...MAYBE they can start thinking about things like the nighttime shows (And Fastasmic is my favorite but I'm still okay with it not being there when I go). Also it really would be bad PR if they had them open when FL is still trying to get the Covid-19 numbers down.

So maybe in the fall they can start thinking about things like that, and that's being crazy optimistic. I wouldn't be surprised if its much longer and I am kind of expecting that. (not that I want that). The main focus is just having and maintaning as low risk of an environment as they can for their guests.

Just found this interesting, not that it would change anyone's decision one way or the other.

Let’s get through the opening first lol.

Fireworks are tough because people tend to not be looking at other people or their surroundings during the show unless a 7 ft tall person decides to jump in front of you right before the show starts. But when you’re looking at the castle and above, you’re not really looking at people around you so it’s difficult to ensure you’re staying distanced. And once those lights go out, the CMs can only see so much of what is going on. I’m sure Disney is/has thought about how they’ll implement them back into the experience, but theres bigger fish to fry right now. Once they extend the hours to when its actually dark out, then maybe it can start becoming a closer possibility. My guess, they dont come back in 2020, but if they did, probably not until the earliest, September or October. I’ve been wrong many times, so dont take my word on that

I can hardly read this. Is there a link to it?

ETA: Thank you, Google.

People who are not entirely comfortable but are still going are likely going to be very good at taking precautions, maybe even extra. Probably going to stay away from certain things, so they help contribute to lower crowds.

I don’t know why anyone takes issue with that. Better than people standing on their heads trying to get away with wearing the least mask like mask possible. I’ve also seen people advise they ice pack their foreheads before temp check to insure they get in so that’s fun .

Any thoughts on when DeSantis would amend travel restrictions (if he is even going to)? Like does he usually do these things certain days or times of day?

Theres literally a cooling tent for people to cool off in if their temperature is too high when they first take their temperature . If they fail the 2nd time, then you’re probably under the weather and definitely should not be in the park, let alone feel the need to go to the parks in the first place.

I think a lot of that may well be gone for good once the cost cutting kicks in.

Does anyone know a live stream on YouTube right now?

Who am I to let common sense get away with brilliant suggestions on the Internet.

I hope disney are stopping people who have suspiciously low temp check results!

I honestly don’t think he will at this point. There was a 2-3 week range where both the Tri-State area and Florida were both low on numbers, and he still didn’t lift the restrictions.

“Uh boss, think this one might be dead. Has anyone done a Haunted Mansion headcount lately??”

“Why is your temperature 43 degrees? You might want to see a doctor, you’re as cold as a corpse”

Doubt it.

I don’t think @LSUmiss is worried about Desantis removing restrictions, she’s worried about him adding more states to the list.
