Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[StevieB81]

Everyone seems to know someone that knows someone high up in position at Disney right now. I wish I had those types of friends or relatives

I don't know anybody like that. I just want my trip to not be cancelled

I like the contactless menu and payments. I know it’ll be harder for the older generation but this would be something I could get behind everywhere all the time. I usually look at menus online before I go somewhere I’ve never been anyway.

Prior to all of this, I was a big fan of apple pay. I love not having to pull my wallet out each time. So I'm glad contactless payments are going to be encouraged more now.

If you want to get around the rules, just wear sunglasses. They’re technically covering your face. They don’t specify what part of the face needs to be covered so you wouldn’t be breaking any rules

Interesting little instructional tutorial SDR appears to have put out on how to enter the park and how to behave once inside. The visuals may give a glimpse at some of what we'll see here once our parks start to reopen.

P.S. It's in Mandarin but has English subtitles.

That made me tear up. I know it's Shanghai and the US parks will likely look at least a bit different, but it's surreal.

To move away from masks for a sec, an interesting, although small portion, is the merchandise bit. I know there has been conversation about that and people had said this fell under Disney not being able to control everything, but that video mentioned to please only touch merchandise you actually intend to purchase. So not hugging a bunch of stuffed animals, taking pictures with them, trying on hats, etc. I hope they adopt that in the US parks.

You touch, you buy.

Gotta admit: never seen anyone under 2 running around without pants at Disney

If my daughter thought it was an option she would be streaking through the parks...

You touch, you buy.

I will not go if I cannot test the huggability of each and every Mickey on the shelf.

That Shanghai tutorial broke my heart.. I can’t imagine visiting the parks under those conditions.

No magic...

This was interesting, thanks for sharing. It looks to me like there is a lot of magic to be had, even with the modifications in place.

One thing that stands out to me - sanitizing your hands after every ride? My hands would be wrecked by the end of the day. I'd be more likely to wear gloves.

Official mask policy:

People are going to have fun with this policy. It might suck, but I’m here for the creativity that ensues for as long as it lasts

Disney better have a seat. If they intend on raising the prices to get compensated for lost revenue, then I’m going to need to see some compensation for all those cuts they have made! I will absolutely not pay anymore to visit a place I call home. It’s supposed to be a theme park, not a second car note!

Disney isn’t going to raise the prices. That would be a PR nightmare.

Gloves help you though, not everyone else.

I like the idea of enforcing as best they can sanitizing after every attraction, as rides will have a lot of unavoidable touch points and it's probably the easiest way to prevent spreading due to lap bars, guns, straps, etc.

 

[Mit88]

I’m assuming the domestic parks would record and informational video like this as well. Just need bioreconstruct to do flyovers all day to see when they’re recording for the video, them we’ll know the opening date is soon

I would still be sanitizing after each ride. I just wouldn't be ruining my skin.

But in all seriousness, given all the known issues with excessive hand sanitizer usage, hand wash stations with regular (not antibacterial) soap would be much better, but I realize that's just not practical at Disney.

Silly question, do gloves hold up to sanitizer well?

Please let’s move away from the mask talk
And I know this will not be a popular statement here but I just don’t think I can bring myself to go through the expense and effort to go under these conditions. Had not even really thought of the merchandise thing
No judgement. Anyone who wants to go God Bless. I am going to naively hope we get through all these phases quickly and without incident

Yes. The chemicals in sanitizer don't break down latex or nitrile.

This honestly made me so sad. I know I am not alone in that. It just breaks my heart. I knew in my head it would be different but seeing it played out in real time and watching it. Seeing characters from afar, the masks, not touching things in the store......just all of it. I don’t know. It just really bought to light all that has changed and made me so very sad. Thank you for sharing though. I would have to come to reality at some point. Might as well be now. But what a different feel it is all going to have.
