Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Sure, but for now it's saving money. How long did wonders of life stayed closed? I mean it's still closed but with a plan

And a significant chunk of downtown (springs) was left closed for years as well.

Disney have definitely got form for just closing things and leaving them shut for years.

How long has Stitch been closed?

That's a good point. We went there for the first year or two as the wife and I enjoyed PI and then..........<crickets>.

Now I am really glad we rode it back in February

I’m afraid to ask what’s next. I hate PW, but I messed up badly on our last trip thinking it would be open during evening hours at the AK and convinced my grandson to wait to ride it. I’ve been promising “next time” ever since.

It’s causing flashbacks to decades ago when I promised my kids we’d go to River Country on our next trip and they shut it down before we went back. :/

I went to River Country many times as a kid, I’m still not over it being closed

Our first ever visit together was our honeymoon in mid September 2008. I had no idea PI was closing days later. I'm so pleased we got to experience Adventurers Club. I was even one of the lucky few to be handed one of the letters. Still feel its a shame it closed even now after all these years.

WHY DID WE HAVE TO KILL RIVERS OF LIGHT!?!?!

I need to stop liking shows and parades. Every time I really like something it dies. The ones I don't like as much seem to stick around eternally. I really loved the Jungle Book Alive with Magic thing that they did too, and don't even get me started on what happened to SpectroMagic.

 

[Hummingbird]

Because I just can’t stay away, when I got off early I decided to come to Magic Kingdom for a few hours. Smh. The castle is beautiful and of course I cried.

 

[ryanpatricksmom]

I’m over here thinking about how they could implement a Carpets of Aladdin in Dinoland USA.

Now if only the triceratops would spit.

I don't get it. Surely RoL is quite cheap to run compared to most other shows? No fireworks and not that many CMs either.

I guess they just aren't planning on having AK open late for a long time to come.

 

[anthony2k7]

I wonder if this is all the cuts for now? Or if we're in for a steady stream of announcements over the coming days/weeks?

Iv been expecting cuts, but RoL was definitely a surprise to be gone for good.

I mean I get the realistic "why" with finances, demand, limited hours, etc.

but still... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

mood at this news:

[DGsAtBLT]

TBH I had no idea Stitch wasn’t already permanently closed. Didn’t realize it was still stuck in seasonal or whatever they were calling it.

 

[ryanpatricksmom]

I legitimately might cry because I've only ridden Primeval whirl once and I loved it. I've been so looking forward to riding it again....

I rode it a bunch of times, and I don't get the negative guest feedback at all. It seemed popular enough every time that I rode it.

If only a triceratop could also transform itself into a carpet.

For those of you who have been to the parks this week- if one was deciding between AK or MK for early next week, which felt better in terms of crowds, safety, experience, etc? Does the Food and Wine Festival get crowded later in the day, or do the crowds stay generally low all day? TIA!

We don't go to MK until Saturday, but we went to AK yesterday and it was great! The park had very low crowds. CMs were cleaning everywhere even in places you wouldn't necessarily expect. Since crowds were low, we felt pretty safe in regards to social distancing. Mask compliance was very good as well. Throughout our entire day, I saw only 1 adult not wearing a mask (hoping a CM encountered him) and there were 2 kids who were older than 2 not wearing masks....maybe one was 4, the other 7. Attractions waits were crazy! We walked on FOP 3 times, Navi River 3 times, Everest 3 times....actually all of the rides were walk on. Only had to wait for FOP once and it was less than 5 minutes. It was unbelievable!

Why'd you have to bring that up?

I'll never be over that........
