Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I think a decent number of housekeeping positions are gone forever. If hotels can get people in a trash and towels only rhythm that will save a good amount of time while still accessing the rooms to make sure they’re not trashed/etc...

Bleh.

I love coming back to the room after they've cleaned, made the bed...one of my parts of staying at a hotel, anywhere.

God I hope not, we still need people to clean the bathrooms o.o

No, honestly I think you went overboard when you got back from Disney. That level of concern doesn’t quite match with going to a gym.

So I’m just supposed to put my life on pause? Never leave the house again?

wait. I went overboard? With quarantining for 14 days, something I was supposed to do as my state mandates it after traveling from Florida?

Did your state mandate three COVID tests as well?

conferences too - for my industry we are now at the beginning of what is traditionally conference season and I usually go to a few a year - one of which was scheduled to be in Orlando this year - but all area cancelled / made virrtual

They are all about networking and having tons of meetings with clients and brokers and stuff so I can't imagine when they will be back to "normal"

I’m kind of in the same boat. I used to travel for work about once and month for various different meetings across the country. I’m not sure what that is going to look like after all this is over.

No. But when it’s free, and it gives me peace of mind, why wouldn’t I?

What’s the point of criticizing someone for being “too cautious”? How does that negatively impact anyone? People want Disney to be open and to support it and to boost employment. People don’t want travellers to spread it to their towns/cities whatever... this person went through great effort to try and address both of these things and now they are being criticized? It’s actually unbelievable

You’re making a huge deal that you quarantined after going to Disney but you’re going to a gym which seems to be a riskier proposition. Does that really make sense?

Why have you taken such issue with this? The gym, the tests, the quarantine.

If anything is overboard, it's your reaction to someone else's choice to maintain other people's safety.

 

[Farro]

I love lamp.

If I put in a mobile order at a resort I'm not staying at, will the guards at the gate (driving in) let me in to pick up or eat my order?

Anybody try this yet?

Someone on the ROTR boarding group thread did that this morning at BWI (took a ride share) to be able to walk to DHS.

And turn down service!

 

[anthony2k7]

Presumably your state isn't currently having capacity problems with testing? If they were, would you still have used 3 tests?

Question me if I return from vacation and have/go to a party, or go out to bars, or restaurants, or anywhere. But to say someone is “overcautious” when they have other people in mind seems like a weird hill to die on. My “overcautious”ness upon returning offsets going somewhere that some would deem dangerous, or irresponsible. Getting tested the 1st and 2nd time gives me the peace of mind that I didnt inadvertently pass it off to someone at the airport to then have them spread it elsewhere and the 3rd test was to ensure that, even as unlikely as it may be, that the virus didnt hit my system until late into the quarantine period. I honestly shouldn’t even feel the need to explain myself in this scenario.

We got back Wednesday from another local-ish trip to Disney (1.5 hour drive). We have now been (with 3 toddlers in tow) in July, August and September-ridden on rides, eaten inside, seen the line situations in person, stayed on property, used provided transportation and experienced all the changes due to Covid. We also have not experienced any issues or symptoms in our family of 5. We've also had great get-aways from regular day to day life. The level of crowds has most certainly increased from July to September, but still miles better than how it was in February this year.

I gotta say - I love the idea of this To Go for Table Service business - especially with a kid - this MIGHT be our new default.

And maybe it will help free up reservations or even allow for walk ups when crowds increase.

And with room service out of commission, it's a great compromise. Hope they start to roll out even more restaurants!

If more people were over cautious we probably wouldn’t be in this miserable situation.
