Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[dreamit]

Entered ROTR queue at 12:25 and exited at 2:55. DD said it was worth the wait!

This is how the BG process has worked since the beginning. Do we have reason to believe it has changed?

I've been lucky enough to join a BG and ride ROTR before shtutdown and genuinely didn't know you could board a group if not in the park. I knew you could get a BG then leave but not book from your hotel...?

What exactly is wrong with that scene? Are these people loitering for more than a few seconds? How do we know they aren't part of the same group? There are going to be natural bottlenecks in places all over (at stores, at restaurants) .. you simply cannot physically always be 6 feet apart from other people in public places.

But .. this virus isn't going to jump on you simply by walking past people in a crowd .. especially with masks on MOST parties. Now do we want to be standing next to these people for an hour or so while in a queue or watching fireworks? No . .but it's okay to just shuffle past people .. people aren't catching this by being within a few feet of another person for a few seconds.

Let's not social distance and mask shame. We'll be okay in most cases. I mean odds are that not a single person in WDW today is infected with the virus. And if you feel you won't be safe, then don't go to any public place.

Disney clearly wants to avoid crowding and this is an area of issue.

I believe you still have to be in the park to board, though I could be wrong now with 1 park per day..

Yeah, as long as you scan into DHS historically you’ve been good! We’ve had a few people who would scan in and then walk back to their crescent lake resort and join. Risky in terms of tech issues and then not having access to CMs who can help, but when they’re going so fast that wouldn’t really matter anyways.

You cannot be serious.

I think this was probably autocorrect. Replace the word a with every and it makes sense.

And tell people to tuck their damn noses into their masks

So thats potentially all those people stood around in there infected by those pair right there.

Has anyone tried making a reservation in one park, then paying for another ticket at another parks ticket booth, then making another reservation?

thank the maker!

It's jarring that there's still many people who believe this. The same poster about a month ago dismissed the severity of the pandemic with a "who actually knows someone who was infected?" Move those goalposts!

You would have to do it under a different profile name. I’m not sure it’s worth the price of a second ticket, though.

Reminds me of the texan covid party goer who thought it was a hoax right up until just before he died.

It is entirely possible, though I may have be exaggerating for effect --

How many "active cases" of the virus are in Florida right now? (including undiagnosed cases)?
How many of those active cases are in the Orlando area?
How many of those active cases are specifically in WDW?
How many of those active cases are in one particular park?
How many of those active cases would you happen to even run across in that particular park IF they were there on the same day as you?

I mean people are now acutely aware of not going out while sick .. people are getting temp screenings before walking in the gates .. the odds a sick person walks in there is pretty small, but yes not impossible. I am sure there are plenty of days where there theoretically could be ZERO infected people inside WDW. (especially this early in the re-opening)

I am just talking odds.

I just think that we, as a country, are treating this disease like EVERYONE has it .. when the reality is quite the opposite. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be careful, that means we don't have to panic and shame others if a few people get too close to us or have their nose out of their mask for a few seconds . .because odds are VERY VERY HIGH they aren't even infected.

Anyway .. I'm off the rails a bit.
Bringing this back on topic .. as long as Disney keeps capacity low (and I still wonder what that magic number is) .. I think the parks will be as safe as they can be.

Buttloads of people left i guess, it feels nice and empty now and ROTR was amazing as usual.

Well this place seems to be spiraling.

Time to go watch POV videos of Carpets of Aladdin so I can pretend to be in a better place

So, maybe no one has an answer to this right now, but the last time I was in EP in December it was torn apart. I understand Disney needs to cut costs and postpone rides and attractions, but you can't just leave big dirt holes in the ground? Any idea how they move forward? Will they just cover all of that up right now and maybe restart projects later?
