Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[gottalovepluto]

Less than Garden Walk probably!

Perhaps they didn't realise the parks were closed?!

Basically every weekend has been packed to capacity at DtD from my understanding. Locals are desperate for Disney + for something to do. Place is supposedly very quiet during weekdays.

This seems like insanity to me. Who waits for Ikea? The meatballs are good (not that I can eat them anymore), but not that good...

The cafe is closed


Due to recently dining out my kids will be virtual for school we have had to rearrange our house to allow for basically 4 home office spaces - so we need some stuff for making this work

IKEA hasn’t gotten to putting plexiglass up where the switchbacks are? Cheapo’s

We waited for Home Depot. I needed mums.

I’m the odd ball who feels better about stores when they’ve got lines outside. IME the ones that don’t are free for all’s inside, while the ones you generally have to wait for unless you’re there at an off time are way more controlled.

And when you need IKEA, you need IKEA lol. No substitute will do.

Isn’t this Downtown Disney in CA? I can’t imagine venturing out in those crowds in such a hot day just for what? Some shopping?

I was at downtown Disney this morning. I’m sooo glad I got there early. I had a pretty short wait for the world of Disney store. But then when I left around noon the line for the temperature check was snaking around the parking lot

Sunny California Hope the people at downtown Disney stay cool and hydrated.

It’s a holiday weekend and the only thing Disney that’s open. I agree it’s too hot for just shopping. But others don’t seem to mind

Meeeee I needed to hear the Disney music loop and see all the hardworking cast members that make going to Disney worthwhile So I braved the heat for a few hours. Worth it!

‘That’s not odd at all. Your reasoning is spot on. Granted, sometimes you could just be walking into a store that doesn’t need a line, but seeing stores regulate capacity is far more comforting than seeing no one at the doors counting in and out while walking into a very crowded store.

Surprisingly I’ve found that Walmart has been the best all around during the pandemic, and I hate even going to Walmart.

I really wanted to be at a park today, instead went to st pete beach where it was busy but not crazy, sea world tomorrow so we'll see

RotR getting through 128 bg, that's nice

I find it strange that Universal is reported as being packed, but not WDW...what am I missing here?

Lots of it i'm sure has to do with the park reservations.

Also 4 parks at disney and only 2 at Universal (plus a waterpark).

I think a few things play in there. Universal has been said to be noticeably busier in many cases compared to Disney. Universal doesn’t have a reservation system but Disney does. We don’t really know what the Universal cap is.

I hope you got there early before the absolute monsoon hit. What you saw @ SPB was the busiest it has been since March before the shutdown.

Got there at 9am, left at 2pm right before it hit but my family is staying the night

Due to recently dining out my kids will be virtual for school

Are you implying your kids are virtual school because you dined out?

Guess going to Disney would definitely be out
