Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Good luck enforcing it. They'll be fights.

He mentioned culturally Asia is used to that and they know the US isn't

Honestly I think they shouldn't bother to open if they're going to require masks.

Footage run showed Security checking bags by hand while wearing gloves. I didn't see sanitizing stuff anywhere for between guests

Seriously, then just don't go if someone can't handle masks. Geez

Agreed. They’ll probably get some hard core fans willing to go, but the average family I don’t see going if it’s required. Or they’ll go, with no intention of following the rules.

Lets make sure everyone has their masks on!
But then have security touch the insides of everyone's bags.

Which is why security should still be going through the bags at the entrance!

RIGHT? Next level Health Theater.

But in the first interview after all this started Iger said things like temp checks were more about making guests feel safe. So at the end of the day Disney is doing what they do best, putting on a show...

We're anticipating all the people who will go anyway. You KNOW they exist. Both the ones who don't want to eat the cost of canceling/rescheduling (Disney ain't refunding tickets) and also the ones who say "I walked around my neighborhood with my kid and it was hot and we were both just fine so masks will be NBD" who 3 hours into the FL heat of July are going "oh dear god what did we get ourselves into"...

Bags will obviously be checked, welcome to 2020. The debate is how.

Chapek CNBC interview right now...
-Masks are "very likely" to be required. Will be trying for guests in hot and humid summers in US.
-They're watching for government guidelines and local hospital capacity levels as part of deciding when to open, refuses to give timeline to reporter

I suspect CNBC will get the whole interview up if they haven't already. Beginning half or so was on the parks and there was footage of Shanghai opening day.

I had a security CM check my bag on our last trip by having me open the pockets on it and then using a metal stick/wand to pull the pocket open and look, moving things with it or asking me to move things so he could see better.
That process used for every bag will slow down the checks but will allow for a more hands-off inspection. Maybe have them wipe the wand down after each bag for show.

Oh yeah I deff know they exist lol and I don't fault them

But if there are people who plan on going and disobeying whatever rule is implemented, they should be thrown out of the park for breaking those rules ( In a very have a magical day manner )

Saw it too. I rewound it hear what he said again:

“Along with social distancing, one of the things we’re likely going to require is masks from both the cast and the guests. And I think the masks for the guests will be something that culturally is different. In Asia as you know, it’s fairly commonplace, even before covid for folks to walk around in public with masks on. That is not the case in the US. So that will be something that will be a little trying I think for some of the guests. Particularly in the hot, humid summers we intend to have”

 

[gottalovepluto]

The glimpse I saw of bag check they were wearing blue gloves but I didn't see signs of sanitizing or changing between guests. Unfortunately the glimpse I saw was brief as I wasn't watching super close...

If he refuses to give a time, and he's stating masks are likely to be required while acknowledging they'll be trying during the summer, I almost think that points more to a fall opening.

Nope

So what week will the schedule cover when it does come out?

Another bad analogy. Characters take regular breaks where they go and take the tops off. Especially in the summer. You are asking guests to go through a theme park for 6-8-10 hours straight with a mask on that will be full of sweat in 95 degree heat in no time.

One can still hope that the virus continues to weaken, go away, and all the mask arguing would be a moot point.

I would hope if coronavirus ceases to be an issue that the mask policies everywhere will cease.... right?
