Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

My trip is less than 3 weeks away and I still have 9 day tickets linked to it.....for now.

I just did a chat with a cast member and he said that was only for new tickets....who knows, so many changes....I will not be happy if they delete 3 days that already have park and dining reservations!

Obviously Disney has more data than I do, but do they really have soooooo many people with 10 day tickets that they need to shorten them?

It doesn't really make sense since I am sure they would rather you go to the park and spend money than to refund the cost of the additional days. I am hoping the cast member I spoke to was correct and it is only for new tickets

It also maked 0 sense why they wouldnt allow it for new tickets either.

Watching the live streams the last couple days the parks look almost pre-Covid normal. It does make me wonder about Disney’s decision to cut hours even more. Obviously people are feeling more comfortable about being in the parks.

Can’t wait to be safe and snuggly inside the Disney bubble tomorrow

Hope you have a great trip! We leave in 12 days!

Well, technically I’ll be in Vero for 3 days, and then head back to WDW, but I havent heard anything discouraging from Vero in terms of safety yet, so I still consider it a bubble

Vero sees pretty low crowds year round but you’ll have to worry about the noseeums instead of COVID. They’re brutal!

I am here now, we arrived on Friday and I can promise you the crowds are far from normal. It’s honestly surreal. Yes there are times when we approach an area of the park where it looks like there are a decent amount of people but it’s still
nothing like normal crowds.

I learned that the hard way last Summer when we went. My entire legs were bitten to shreds.

are wait times accurate on MDE? I am not a wait it out kind of visitor and these weekend crowds have me nervous- seeing 45-60 +
minutes? Just trying to gauge it before it’s too late. We are going Tuesday through Friday

I was at MK yesterday, AP holder for a gazillion years, first visit back. It's definitely not pre-Covid normal by any means. Still processing how I felt, it was just a strange experience, but they are doing the best they can.

In our experience yesterday the wait times were far less than what showed in MDE. We did hit a few cleaning cycles that slowed things a bit. If you were lucky to be in the shade then, no problem. If you were stuck in the sun not moving, it was a bit miserable.

to avoid longer than 30 min wait times rope drop or stay until the end of the day. In general wait times have been exaggerated a bit but as PP said you might hit a cleaning closure which is one of the reasons they are not posting accurate wait times

Going to YC and the Boardwalk area this evening to check out if it feels any differently with SAB and YC reopening. Also checking out the Solarium set up for BC

Thank you! And thank you for going in the evening so I can hopefully watch. We'll be there in 9 days and super curious how it looks.

As I’m waiting for my bags at MCO I’d like to say that my airline experience was the best I’ve ever had. Security in Baltimore was backed up and yet everyone was spread out. Our flight was “full” and yet I could only see my significant other, and the person in the adjacent row sitting in the window seat. Wearing a mask for the 2 hour flight wasn’t as invasive as I thought it would be. Boarding and de boarding has never been quicker or easier. I hope Air travel never returns to “normal”
