Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Mit88]

Nah, they know a lot of their revenue comes from the NY area. I really don’t think Florida will extend it longer than they have to. Again, could be wrong but it seems like Desantis has been pretty reasonable and wants things back to somewhat normal sooner than later. Some states are mandating people stay in indefinitely and that just isn’t feasible in my opinion.

Sorry if I’m off topic, hard to do in this case.

Eventually things were going to reopen. Its impossible to keep people in until there was a vaccine. But there are many that don’t want the country to reopen until there’s a vaccine. The media sells the vaccine as a certainty when its far from one. Cuomo has been very stern with his stay at home orders in NY. I watched our local PD give out fines to the parents of kids playing basketball down the street for congregating outside. But NY is going to open back up on May 15th which is a nice middle ground between too soon and too long. We couldn’t open up on May 1st like other states, it would have been irresponsible even if some counties are reporting 0 cases

The black lines over the text usually mean that those parts are not included in a final report.

Just read that the Venitian in Las Vegas is going to put in thermal cameras at every entry point to gauge temperatures of guests coming in. I wonder if theme parks may do something similar.

I wonder what their cutoff temperature is for when they'd stop people? 100.4 is regarded as a fever.

I agree we have to reopen. I think the way California is doing it is the best way. I can't see how we can jump from lockdown to opening Disney within a month. I just don't see how you can jump from groups of 5 to groups of 10000 by June 1st.

Disneyland is far more compressed than MK. It’s much faster to go ride to ride, which means social distancing will be far more difficult. I think it’s likely we’ll see MK open before DL.

If the governor of California gets his way, Disneyland won’t open until 2021. I think it’s a pretty safe assumption that MK opens months before Disneyland! I’m out here in Southern California and it’s going to be months before nail salons open, let alone Disneyland!

So phase 4 requires basically a treatment or a vaccine.

So the question is....if there is never any vaccine, does Disneyland never reopen?

It’s like everyone has forgotten theme parks were excluded from large gathering bans. With Iger literally on the council for re-opening I’m amazed people think theme parks won’t get similar treatment as they did when they chose closing.

Both DL and WDW are now cancelling room reservations for arrivals between 5/17 and 5/23, so closures are now at least through 5/24.

You kind of have to be living here to get it.

I just mean I think it’s obvious based on what he’s said and the culture of this state, that he won’t give them an exemption but I could be wrong! And that sometimes living here is the only way to understand the culture of this state. I’ve only been here a year and it’s a big change from where we came!

It makes no sense other then financial reasons they wouldn't be included. Social distancing is very difficult to implement at any theme park

You kind of have to be living here to get it...... I can’t say more here, as it’s not appropriate.

I live in SoCal, and I disagree with your distaste for the governor's decisions. I don't think personal locale matters. I'd rather not get lumped in to your statement. Lol

 

[gottalovepluto]

Yes, Gov DeSantis is supposed to announce plans today.

? Check!
? Check!

I’m ready!!

Unfortunately, this may be true. We have reservations for late June. Coming from southern New Jersey could impact this. Sadly we always get lumped with northern Jersey. The cases in southern Jersey have been manageable and really shouldn't impact us in the same way as the north. Wouldn't it be ironic to allow people from another continent, South America, yet not allow a US citizen to visit.

We are from south jersey as well! I have reservations for late august-September! Wonder whats the chances I will be able to actually come to Florida and actually be able to enjoy the wonderful world of disney lol. Also not sure if anyone spoke about this but can anyone speculate to what the parks might look like on a given day? I know disney has stated with a ticket you are guaranteed entry to "A" park but if you slash attendance by 25 or 50% early on, I can't see that being guaranteed. But I am sure I am looking at Disney for what it was before this chaos started and not thinking about how many people are not even able to come to disney due to the horrible amount of job losses and things of that nature! Just keep refreshing all of the sites to see what the next updates will be, seems to we are getting closer to a date possibly being announced for at least phase 1.

We're driving- not a problem Keurig makes an little tiny one though.

Both DL and WDW are now cancelling room reservations for arrivals between 5/17 and 5/23, so closures are now at least through 5/24.

Finally got an email about my May 21-25th reservation and had to cancel. Knew it was coming, but took forever! June is the one I want to cancel, but can’t yet.

I wonder what their cutoff temperature is for when they'd stop people? 100.4 is regarded as a fever.

That is what their temperature cut off is. Here is what their full guidance is:

• Thermal cameras at every resort entry point, with secondary screening of anyone reading 100.4 degrees or more. Those confirmed with a high temperature will be referred for medical treatment.
• Hospital-grade disinfectant and UV lights will be used in high-touch areas and items like bell carts and luggage.
• Providing a face mask for all guests. Guests can also use their own face mask, though masks that obscure the whole face are prohibited. Every guest suite will also receive gloves, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes.
• Hotel desks and offices will abide by six feet of social distance.
• Guest queuing areas, like front desk lines or taxi lines, will have markings to encourage social distancing.
• Hotel elevators will be limiting to four people at a time.
• Gondola rides will be capped at four riders.
• All restaurants and bars will have reduced seating.
• Meeting and convention areas will have seating separated to accommodate social distancing.
• Pool seating will be rearranged to accommodate distancing between groups.

I just want to get my hair cut. And not get sick. 2 months ago I had no idea this was such a big ask of the Universe

where is this going to be? Any links lol

Theme parks are different though. A concert or a sporting event or even a movie theater you have a lot of people in close proximity all the time. In a theme park, it is outside, people are moving. There is space. Social distancing is possible.

Haha.... sorry.... I don’t know where you stand but from my perspective I just don’t see Newsome granting an exception. Just based off things he’s recently said and his attitude about the beaches. I have so many thoughts on this but reetz will not be happy if I express them here!
