Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Brianstl]

I'm going to post this and then go back and read the last couple of pages. Jet blue changed my flight home to a day later in October. I called Disney to add a day to my reservation and somehow ended up with a 30% discount. The cast member said she found it and applied it.. I'm guessing there's a discount coming that hasn't been announced yet.

I had 2 days at Poly at Christmas, and she moved me to a studio. Not sure I'm keeping that one but it would be my first monorail resort and first dvc stay ever. I'm usually just a pop girl, but I am celebrating my retirement still! Lol.

Or you an AP holder or Florida resident?

Current AP and FL Resident resort specials only go through the end of September.

There’s no monorail at Poly starting in Oct with a to be determined re-opening date

Yup but looks like she is not FL resident, so I'd wager a guess that there will be a 30% all guests, 35% FL resident, and 40% off for APs coming for the Fall.

I am trying to figure out if any new discount is extended beyond the current groups.

I'm an AP but she didn't ask me that.

Just saw Disney is testing projections on castle

ive said since the reopening that they could do the projection shows on a loop with no fireworks and treat it as the cavalcade’s while also testing for the return of fireworks.If they’re post Labor Day attendance is what it is now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see extended hours at MK and DHS

November sunset times are around 5:30pm, so they wouldn't even need to extend hours.
They can always use the same strategy as sea world, circle spots on the ground socially distanced

 

[Wreckem]

With hotel occupancy rates the way they are in Florida is except further delays in reopening or massive price cuts. If I had to guess Disney will do delays.

 

[mattpeto]

Still early by Disney news dump standards... lol

There’s something significant coming soon. I don’t think Gustin was teasing the Poly-Moana makeover and some delayed resort openings.

Before this week I’d say there would be no way people would abide to the circles and stay in them without moving into other guests’ areas. But now I think they could definitely get it done. My only fear with it being dark that people would think they could drop their masks down

And with just fireworks they could have so many spots available all around the park, not just Main street. You are correct about fearing people will take advantage of the darkness and take off their masks

I'm an AP but she didn't ask me that.

She doesn’t have to ask, it’s linked to your Disney account, so you could have just gotten an AP discount.

This may be a silly question. Are the lounges connected to Resort restaurants open like California Grill, Topolino's, etc... open?

There were people sitting at the Topolino's bar/in the bar area when we were there a few nights ago, and the bar on the terrace was also open. I'm assuming they were all walk-ups but I'm not sure.

I thought about that too (darkness) but we have been at Epcot twice after dark in the last couple of weeks and I didn't notice an increase in mask removal. Course they are pulling those hours back...

Disney Springs is open in the dark too. Probably isn't that big of an issue

Yeah but Disney Springs after dark is a mask-disaster especially on the weekend.

Yup, With DST ending on 11/1 it makes it possible under current hours

I just got the confirmation email and it says recovery20 as the rate type. Odd but I'm not complaining!
