Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[hereforthechurros]

Covid isn’t gone so I don’t see why this thread would be ending yet.

True, WDW could always shut down again.

*ducks*


Kidding. Hopefully.

Where do I go to claim my “I got to say I told you so on the DISboards” shirt?

They didn’t tell him the real party was at Stormalong.

I am hooked on Matisse Thybulle’s Bubble vlog, wanna see all of them. «Maybe I’m supposed to use the lid as a spoon »

This thread’s imminent closure due to the parks being open is like high school graduation. Excited to move on to bigger and brighter things, but sad that we’re all going to go our separate ways

Does it have to close?! We can come up with new rumors to angst about. They may not be true, but we can discuss them passionately...

I actually said “noooo” outloud during that part

Maybe they’re afraid of the fences

Somebody needs to tell the DJ that's the "quiet" pool.

You will need to go to the back of the MK GS line.

I understand there could be scenarios like that...but even though I had no plans to stay at a Disney resort in September (as we have a stay in August already) and we are local-ish APs, I could. not. resist. the discount. I got a 1 bedroom Villa at OKW for $309/night. I really couldn't say no. That price is amazing, no doubt. So I guess in this situation, mileage may vary

And that's where it stings a little bit. I checked out some of those AP resort prices for August and they were SO good! But I'm in the tri-state area and would have to quarantine both ways. I can't lock myself in for 28 days total just for $300 a night at a deluxe!

I laughed when he opened his door and found the plastic fork someone had anonymously left for him.

Maybe they’re afraid of the fences

They, like many on this board, found them unsightly and offensive, LOL!

was thinking about string caused cuts like paper cut which can cause damage not seen at first.

Me too. And again. A day or two of Bute a best.

Covid could be in the first inning. There is no reason to think that Disney dealing with covid is "mission accomplished" done deal. close the thread up.

To the contrary - i think due to covid related budget cuts there will be lots to discuss in the future. Covid is far from over

If my 60 year old mom wanted to tag along with us the answer would be NO.

Yikes, make me feel old. I'm 60 going on 45 and going with my daughter in less than 2 weeks.

I hope you both have a great time! My mom and I are going in August. Disney is great for mother-daughter trips!

Not claiming someone that’s 60 is old, just being cautious and following the stats. My mom has been WFH and completely avoiding public so I know she would never ask to go to wdw anyway

We arrived today. A few operational updates that I noticed:

• Magical Express buses have a capacity of 19 guests. The buses are very slow to arrive.
• Mobile ordering seems to be the only option at times. Captain Cook’s had a cashier at lunch time, but not in the evening. I like charging meals to the room and paying the balance every few days. It would be nice to charge mobile orders to the room
• Temperature screening and security checks are in the GCH. The trip to MK was fast and easy.
• Some NBA players were arriving at the GF as we passed.
• The “cavalcade” at MK happen fairly often.
• Some of the Country Bears were on the balcony in Frontierland.
• We arrived just after 4 PM. Wait times were all posted as 5-25 minutes. We walked on pretty much everything we wanted.
• It’s hot. Masks make it hotter. Yowza!
• Baked goods and treats are very limited now.
• Menus are also limited.
• It’s is eerily empty. Very strange.
• Did I mention the heat?
• CMs are doing a great job.
• Ride vehicles are seated following social distancing guidelines.
• It is hot.
  
  
  I’ll try to answer any questions you may have.
  
  

Good information, but I'm a little unclear on the weather. Was it hot?

You will have a blast. When i was there for the AP preview on thursday @ AK there was maybe 5-10% kids there. It was amazing seeing so few kids. No meltdowns or any other kid crap.

Now that i say that, i am not anti kid but i do enjoy not having them around.

And it seems disney did nothing about it.
