Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[gottalovepluto]

Does anyone think WDW might try a DLR style fall room promo where weekdays are discounted and Fri/Sat night aren’t?

 

[only hope]

Anybody heard anything about shows the actors were in starting up again?

Yullin reported somewhere that she knows a Citizens of Hollywood actor that has had their furlough extended, along with thousands of other WDW/DLR employees. Not sure if all actors had their furlough extended or not.

Can we all agree that (almost) no one posting on internet message boards are experts? So nobody knows anything about masks for sure?

Farro: can we all agree ...

The internet: no

Worth a shot!

Speak for yourself. I have special access to a search engine that tells me information that people that go to school for 10 years to learn don’t even know.

Edit. I’m being told that everyone knows what google is and it’s not as reliable as I had thought.

Edit #2: “Someone on Twitter said...” doesn’t count as a reliable source either, I guess

No but we can listen to experts and understand this isn’t going away, and that masks help. Even with a vaccine, we’d need billions of doses produced, distributed and administered which is a MASSIVE undertaking. So until then, masks it is. And I wouldn’t be shocked for some companies, like Disney perhaps, and healthcare systems to keep them in place long after. But that part is just my opinion.

Oh my gosh I cannot believe the mask debate still rages on. I think the masks will never happen people need to admit defeat already. They happened. They’re happening. They’re working. They’re not that bad.

Find a well fitting one in a pattern that makes you smile (with your eyes of course!) and deal with it. 100% agree with whoever said they’re going to be there last thing to go, and I think that’s at Disney and otherwise.

Let me tell you how hot the skyliner was yesterday.

We probably shouldn't bother discussing at all until Disney makes any kind of change.

Only then we will we really know what their plan is...

 

[MrsBooch]

I have to believe that they would have had a plan to bring back SOME actors that were in the union otherwise...why all of the hullabaloo?

It’s mandated (at Disney) until it isn’t. It’s really that plain and simple. It’s not a case of “if you don’t like it, don’t go” it’s a, if you don’t like it, and don’t want to wear them, you can’t go. Disney isn’t going to change their minds until they’re ready to, whether it’s relaxed throughout the country, or not. No petition will change their mind.

And this is coming from someone that said in April that Disney wouldn’t open with masks mandated. Clearly I’m not here because I’m a doctor or scientist, never claimed to be. I’m not here to hear about any political leanings, or personal stance on any issue, masks or otherwise. I’m here because I’m a Disney fan that will bend the knee to whatever Disney asks me to do as a guest. They want me to wear a yellow shirt and maroon shorts because it’s Wednesday, then I’m going somewhere to buy a yellow shirt and maroon shorts. It’s that simple.

I was looking more forward to the Skyliner than SWGE and it did not disappoint. Not even being sarcastic (for once).

I swear I did not intend to re-ignite the mask debate. I just know that some people planning upcoming trips have said that masks might be a deal breaker for them so I thought the mayor saying they are here to stay for a while was relevant. I will retreat to my NBA Bubble now.

I went from the airport to Disney property just to ride the skyliner Before driving to Vero (and visit Riviera since I havent been here since it opened). I loved the skyliner when I came last October, and still do, heat (its not even hot inside of them) tackiness and all. It might be a better experience staying at Riviera, but other than Bar Riva, I found the resort very bland.

Galaxy’s edge is a beautifully built land having seen both DL and DHS’ versions (though they’re almost exactly identical). If I dont get a boarding pass for RotR on Saturday or Monday, I may hate SWGE for the remainder of my life out of spite

West Coaster here, Saturday, 10am showdown, I'll be there with my phone and fingers drawn.

Until disney says masks are not required anymore anybody planning an upcoming trip should expect them to be required. If by the time you get there they are not it's a bonus but for now plan for them.

5 years from now we will wonder that we ever went outside without a mask.

Agree on the DVC availability. I had booked a trip at my home resort for the last week in February at the 11 month mark hoping to move it to an Epcot area at 7 months. I let the first day of my 7 month booking window go by having completely forgotten about it since the likelihood of this trip happening is now so small for me. When I remembered and logged in about 2 weeks after the first day of the 7 month booking window I was stunned to have so much availability to choose from at non-home resorts. Then I started poking around and was surprised by how much availability there is across the board over the next several months. I assumed DVC would be the one area with high occupancy because of the backlog of 3 months worth of time where points could not be used and the fact that points expire but I guess not.

I Think there are a lot of owners who are just letting their points expire. that said there is going to be a real points crunch in late 2021 and into 2022. Don’t plan to to use your points outside your home resort for awhile. I know - I am just a bundle of optimism tonight.

it’s honestly not even that bad in the heat. Would I choose to wear a mask if it was safe enough for that to be a person by person decision? Absolutely not. I’m neither excited to put my mask on, nor am I kicking and screaming that I have to wear one outdoors walking around the resorts. It is what it is, if I wanted it to be my choice, I’d have to stay home, and I was not passing on this vacation unless the parks were still closed

That was my experience also in the heat at WDW. The heat was the terrible thing as usual, and I was surprised that the mask didn't make it any worse at all. I used the blue disposables because they are light weight. I'd be glad if it became a permanent societal norm like wearing pants and shirt.
