Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Is Jedi Training open at DHS?

No

I really want to try to ride Rise when we're there in a couple of weeks, but I definitely do not feel the need to be there at rope drop. I also have us scheduled for two days there, but if we can ride Rise the first day, I may skip the second. Or from the sounds of the drops for Rise VQ's today, I may just have to be OK with not riding it at all.

I've been excited about Rise for a long time, in fact it's the reason we decided to buy APs this year. We bought our APs in Feb and visited EPCOT and AK in Feb before the shutdown, so we haven't been able to go to DHS at all, let alone Rise. I'll be pretty disappointed if DHS isn't able to accomodate even the reduced the capacities to be able to ride at least MMRR or Rise during a visit.

I’m nervous, lol.

It’s a shame that all this cutting is due to something completely out of their control (unlike normal cuts, lol). It feels so much sadder, thinking back to when they announced all the plans for Epcot.

So depressing that that the Epcot experience film is now basically a lot of canceled projects.

Surprise surprise....

Though the SSE refurb should still happen to some degree.

I sure hope the British Revolution comes back,
Fish and Chips with a show..

We were at MK all day and did not have this experience. People were actually following the mask rule rather well. We were shocked.

Same here. This is our fifth park day and we have seen maybe five people per day on average not having their masks on properly. On BTMRR on Monday, there was a rider in front of that had their mask down and made me want to throw some fists..... I might weigh 135 pounds, but don’t cross me, guy.

Seems pretty empty to me . .that spot is usually pretty jammed on a normal day.

i think the more people that come to a "scary" place like a theme park (during the virus) and feel safe while there, and go home without being infected .. the better for the entire country. (and the theme parks specifically).

Despite rising cases -- I don't feel unsafe at public places. More than likely (and there is data to back this) .. people are catching the virus in somewhat- private settings .. at work, social gatherings, parties, within the family, etc.

How SeaWorld Orlando is offering physically distanced Firework shows within the park:

I never ceases to amaze me how some people can be so unaware of what people are trying to do around them right now. And I get it you're in a park and people can forget at times but sheesh. Stay safe while you're there!

It's a bigger concern that a good amount of people don't think that distancing and masks actually help and are just some made up Disney rule. Ugh. Not loving reports/pics from today.

OH you have to try! It is by far the best ride I have ever done.

@yulilin3 have you had a chance to check out Savi's and see how they're doing the legacy saber sales in person?

This is exactly what we do - will miss sitting on the curb or wherever we can find a spot .

My first time seeing them was in 2011 (IIRC they were pretty new then, I think early in the year we had seen the Beatles' tribute band?) and DS who was then a guitar playing tween (although 23 now and still playing guitar) met the band after a show and got pics and autographs. One of my favorite Epcot memories! He was so thrilled to meet musicians.

We have now been in the ROTR queue for an hour. At least we’re in the indoor stretch. When we entered, they were accepting groups 14-25. We’re still not moving and I’m hoping 50’s PT will still seat us as our reservation was for 1:20.

Long long lines at every guest experience. I can’t imagine they’ll actually do anything for those people. But there was either a terrible problem with the app for lots of people or the capacity is just so low it’s unable to accomodate anywhere near the % of guests as before.

My dh went to guest services just to see why he couldn’t see our party on the app. Showed screen shot of our kids not showing up. The cm put us into a boarding group! Her advice was if part of your party shows up, get the boarding group, come to guest services and they will get it straightened out.

Praying for a thunderstorm rn.
Same debacle at the1pm vq time, everyone but me appeared on mde, thankfully i had explained to the GET and was first in line at 1pm when it happened and they were able to override and get me in. But now im stuck in the outdoor queue portion of rotr. Not to worry, I'm last, have water and umbrella and tons of space

So you got in BG 14 at the 10am VQ sign up and it's almost 2pm and you've not gotten on the ride yet AND have been in physical line for an hour. Yikes...

Rode the skyliner from Pop to HS. So easy peasy!

DHS reopening is looking kind of like a disaster
