Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[MrsBooch]

I feel like that's his favorite park to pop in to. Hopefully it's a mad house and he can have the same reaction every other person has when visiting the parks and dealing with tons of people and long lines.

It's likely he already knows and why he visits it so often. Again - great leadership - approaching with first hand experience what has been the most crowded park is the best way to fix it. He's on the ground. I love this guy.

I've heard good things about brining before smoking back characters. They're much juicing that way.

Haha. Fixed it. Think it’s time for that Bloody Mary!!

Oh, I love him too! I just hope things do change because any more and it's just getting careless, it's the park that needs a lower cap because it just can't handle what they'ved set it at due to its layout. Of course as awesome as I think he is, especially with how he focuses on CMs, I won't hold my breathe on changes.

agree with you - either lower capacity or more "other stuff" options to thin out the lines and give people something else to do.

and it's 102 degrees right now, seeing the crazy MMRR winding queue with very little shade will be a senses opener. Anyone can stand in a long line but it gets 10 times harder with this heat, he was there, jeans and rolled up long sleeve so he's feeling it too

My understanding is that, with the new fiscal year, they’re now looking at ways to bring some (key word there, not all) shows back.

102 degrees in October? Geez lol.

I can't get any WDW sites (resort, dining) to load. It's been going on since this morning. Anyone else?

I know, it's stupid

I have had no issues today

We are in the same boat. We booked AOA for multiple reasons. 2 bathrooms being a big one. I’m afraid of getting moved to the cabins with bunk beds in the main bedroom and only 1 bathroom.

Don't accept it. I know it sounds harsh, but seriously if for some reason they don't open; don't accept something you're not happy with. We have a trip next week and was booked at family suite at AoA. They kept trying to get us to take a cabin - it is just not our thing. They also offered 1 room at CBR. Each time; I told them we'd just wait and hope that it opened early lol. I called a couple weeks later and without saying anything they offered us a 2 bedroom at AKL - now I'm not super excited about the lack of qs options there, however I wasn't going to turn down a 2 bedroom, so we took it. - Just keep trying, be polite, but don't settle for something you're not happy with.

 

[brockash]

Any guesses on if AOA will reopen Nov 1? My guess is yes given how crowds appear to be increasing but maybe I'm overly optimistic?

But are crowds from out of towners needing a hotel, or more locals?

Weird! I've tried multiple restaurants, dining main page, resorts main page and individual resort pages and they just won't load. Not having any issues with non-Disney websites. Curses!

102 does not have me excited for our trip this weekend

I've seen a lot of out of state license plates recently

I had some trouble with searching ADRs this morning, but I deleted cookies and all was well again.

Edited to add: 102, yikes!

 

[hereforthechurros]

Just did and it worked. WTH! Clearly I have angered the Disney gods. Thanks for the suggestion

 

[hereforthechurros]

I've read a few reports now of no distancing on the DME back to the airport. Anyone here have any recent reports?

Now that would be interesting. Not really sure why they would change that yet.

My Epcot day is Nov. 5th...

Ours too

I wonder if the recommendation carries any more weight because it came from a health agency as opposed to the parks.
