Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

What will happen if people in a phase 1 state will travel to a phase 3 state ?

 

[Vern60]

Right. But, what is the system of checks and balances? To make sure the governors are making the right decisions and aren't jumping ahead of where they are in the phases?

If the governor of Fl said, "Let's open Disney World!" tomorrow....who can stop that?

Um, I think Disney could. Ultimately it's up to them. I do believe they will get the go ahead sooner rather than later though, they are vital to the Florida economy.

 

[marinejjh]

My question is....who is overseeing this? What would stop a governor from opening up because the state as a whole is fulfilling those requirements, even if certain counties or pockets within the state haven't?

Nothing would stop them. Trump even said he was leaving it up to individual governors how/when to open states up. He stated each knows there state because they are physically there. States like Florida and Michigan waited so long to chang anything and are behind many other states.

What will happen if people in a phase 1 state will travel to a phase 3 state ?

Presumably they will be required to do a 14 day quarantine?

Does the same apply from a phase 2 to phase 3 though?

Do you think the only people who have caught and/or died of COVID 19 have just not been responsible enough? Guess someone should tell all the medical professionals who have fallen victim to it they were just too lazy to save themselves.

If personal responsibility and hand washing was enough we wouldn’t have a pandemic and shutdowns all over the globe. Come on. Why does optimistic have to mean ignorance?

That’s not what I said so don’t twist it. I am talking about now if you aren’t comfortable going out especially around groups stay home.

 

[yankeesfan123]

There have been no reports of any issues outside of earth so Batuu and Pandora are good.

Phew!

 

[Vern60]

I'm waiting for somebody on reddit to make a charrt of where every state stands in all of these gating criteria. I'm sure somebody is already working on it.

I think this was shown at the start of the President's presentation today? I believe when Dr Birx began speaking ... it wasn't really up long enough to analyze closely though I did notice Florida was green.

That’s not what I said so don’t twist it. I am talking about now if you aren’t comfortable going out especially around groups stay home.

This isn’t just every man for themselves. This cannot be prevented enough with letting people make their own choices regarding everything (which spoiler alert, people will make terrible ones that greatly impact others).

I am confident Disney is not going to adopt this viewpoint and is going to do what they can to keep a balance between their own immediate needs (and peoples desires) and the greater good. And I’m glad for that. I don’t wish Disney anything negative, obviously, I love Disney. I’m sure all the “negative” people here share similar thoughts.

 

[mshanson3121]

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 your 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!

Likewise, I imagine many are surprised at how naive and out of touch with reality some people are...

Being realistic and negative are NOT the same thing. There are very few people here who have suggested that Disney stay closed until there's a vaccine. Very few. There are however many people who realize that doesn't mean Disney can open up again right away no matter how much they may wish otherwise, and that even when they do, social distancing restrictions will be in place for a long time.

Folks, reminder this is not a place to discuss what the guidelines mean for each state. This thread is about impacts on Disney. Each state also will act differently. Let’s stick to impacts on Disney and theme parks. Not the place to discuss the ins and outs of the guidelines.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

And why does pessimistic have to mean name calling, smartellic replies and failure to admit that anybody can implement social distancing even while opening businesses, buildings, etc? Yeah, I don't know how to spell smartellic but didn't want to resort to namecalling.

Ignorance isn’t name calling. It means a lack of knowledge or information (direct from google ). You can be optimistic without being ignorant regarding our reality. Plenty have been in here, we have lots of posters who are glass half full without being ignorant.

what does green mean?

Thank you. questions about how or who can fly in relevant?

 

[anthony2k7]

Worth remembering at this point that all these guidelines only cover the safety aspect of opening back up.

There is still the logistical viability and also the economic viability that may also lead to very different opening dates for disney than what the phases suggest.

 

[rteetz]

Thank you. questions about how or who can fly in relevant?

Right now it’s more speculation because we done have all those answers yet. Let’s just try to stick to disney as much as possible until we have more answers.

 

[anthony2k7]

I dunno, I think the plan going forward, I mean once things start opening up more is not so much separation, but early detection and follow up, what do they call it? Tracing I think? Makes me think of how people say the safest place to have a heart attack is in Las Vegas because they have cameras everywhere and you are constantly monitored, therefore they have by far have the fastest response time of anywhere in the nation should a medical emergency occur. I envision thermal scanners at not only Disney but airports as well.
Face it, if you wear a magic band, Disney already knows everywhere you have been, (and probably everywhere you are going to go too!). If someone shows up "hot" on a thermal scanner they can probably easily identify 99% of the people who came in contact with them in the last several days. Who knows, you could get a knock on your door or even an email when you get back to your resort, or home .... "we believe you have come in contact with a suspected covid 19 carrier", and so forth.

Thermal scanners will achieve nothing if the rumoured number of 80% being asymptomatic is correct.

Likewise testing - unless we somehow get to the point of testing most people most days it isnt going to help if the asymptomatic numbers are that high.

 

[Vern60]

what does green mean?

I don't know, again it wasn't up that long but there were also colors fading into red so I assumed green meant good. Wyoming, N Dakota and Montana as well as others were also green. Sorry I can't describe more.

My argument is that only optimists were accused of the ignorance. (edit- and now being Naive) That term swings both ways. I just wouldn't put it that way.

I'm far from ignorant on the situation. My only daughter is a CCU nurse and has been putting in 14 hour days. I talk with her daily.

So what is your answer? It sounds like as long as there are asymptomatic people out there, you don't think they should open?

No, I don't think Disney will open soon.

But what are you looking for to have them open? There will always be asymptomatic cases

 

[Runnsally]

they should just expand the thing that scans for Pandoran microparasites to all four parks
