Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[anthony2k7]

But we dont know what "Social Distancing" will be when we get to phase 3.

Remember "Current CDC guidelines for social distancing WILL NOT be renewed and expire on April 30"

So really a new definition will have to be made for Phase 3 and we dont know what that will be yet.

If they stray from 6ft distancing and the generally accepted scientific advice then its pointless and is socially distancing in name only.

I think it’s pretty obvious that Disney being open during these 3 phases is a stretch.... I think the question is, will they choose to open in spite of not being able to meet all of the federally recommended criteria, because I have a feeling the Florida Governor is going to allow them to open regardless.

That is a possible scenario

That ends on April 30

Does Covid start containing itself to a 3 foot spread on May 1?

Wherever you live must have some really small Walmarts and grocery stores if you interpret no groups of ten to be no matter what size the building venue or outside area. Beaches can be open for walking etc. You telling me only 10 people can be on the beach? You can laugh your AO if you want i guess. Laughter is good. Oh, by the way, my high school graduating class was bigger than 10. We had 19.

Walmart and grocery stores were deemed essential so capacity isn't limited to ten, keep up please.

Certain parts will open for sure. Disney Springs will. DVC hotels Legally have to if they are allowed to. Some hotels also.

Parks are the real question mark.

Would have to ask the CDC that. I dont have that answer.

Definitely.

 

[anthony2k7]

That ends on April 30

The official guidance may end on 30th April. The scientific guidance has no end date. It is what it is.

 

[MickeyWaffles]

Well if we are talking about people in large arenas, I think its safe to say Disney would be able to open at some capacity at that point.

We don’t know that. They may half fill arenas, direct people to different entrances, assigned seats spaced out, etc. A single event for a few hours is much different than a theme park in many ways.

 

[anthony2k7]

That is a possible scenario

In which case cases will spiral out of control again into a 2nd peak.

Then Disney has a lot of work to do and it's also why I don't see how they can open in July. Its going to take awhile to put measures in place.

Sticking my neck out there since I really do hate speculation
But
The safety of yourself and your family fails on you. Disney will have contingencies, whatever that might be, they can easily tape queues for some sense of social distancing, they can separate tables at restaurants, they can cancel big shows and fireworks
But
When they reopen and I go i won't expect Disney to take care of my health, i will use a mask if that makes me comfortable, i will avoid large crowds, and believe me or not, that's easily done even on very crowded days, i will take sanitizing wipes and clean my table and the lap bar on the ride, i will wash my hands and not touch my face...
I was assuming that there would be an outbreak on Disney related cases from cm and guests and we didn't get that, weeks before the parks closed Disney had upped their hand washing stations, they had alerted guests and cm to the virus, I assume that had an impact on the low numbers we actually saw from the parks
I was at mk the ladt night before the parks closed and in that crowd of people that had the varsity cheer after hours party, i hugged cp cm ad they left, I was at DS the last day of operations when world of Disney was packed like it was Christmas, I'm alright. I took my precautions and im sure the virus was floating around. None of my family or friends that work at the parks have gotten sick, knock on wood, obviously some have not been so lucky
In closing, it's up to each one of us and not Disney to take care of ourselves, we decided how comfortable we are in going or not going and I'm sure once the parks reopen there will be a lot of work for us mods to close haste talk against people that decide to go

 

[Jroceagles]

The passengers coming in flights from the hot spots will be asked to be in isolation for 14 days, no matter if you're coming from Wisconsin but flying out of JFK, you will be asked to isolate
The only exception is that if you arrive at MCO but are transferring to another flight to go to another state, then obviously you won't be asked since it's outside of Florida

For how long?

 

[yulilin3]

For how long?

We have not been given an end date, Florida's health department just told us it's probably on for at least 2 months to 6 months, for now

As always @yulilin3 the voice of reason.
Well said!
Thank you !

Frontierland is very similar to Wyoming and Utah. Maybe that land can open??

Just don't go! How about that

 

[lilypgirl]

I am so surprised at how negative so many of you are. It’s almost as if you want Disney to fail because for whatever reason your too scared to leave you are house so no fun for anyone. It’s been said a billion times but the data does not line up with making people prisoners in their homes until there is vaccine. It’s also not the governments job to take care us. Personally responsibility is a real thing practice it!

 

[Farro]

One question for the optimist here and I know I come of as a pessimist but I am just analytical, Florida has 938 new confirmed cases during a quarantine, how do you honestly think the numbers will go down with loosening restrictions? I personally think we are back to triple the amount of cases daily two weeks after we open.

What number would you be comfortable with? Serious question.

It will never be zero.

I am fine with anything Disney does. I would still go the parks but thats cause I only go for the rides. All that other junk does nothing for me. People need to get used to the fact the Magic won't be the same for awhile.

I'm the opposte. I want disney to be succesful which is why I don't want them to open too early. They could be a huge negative PR backlash if they did that. They won't and shouldn't stay closed till their is a vaccine but if they decided to open in phase 1 because the gov said they could it would not be a good look and would hurt them a lot. I'd rather that not happen and that they open in a safe manner when appropriate which is likely opening the parks in phase 3 and even then maybe even having their own phased approach to park openings with modified operations.
