Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Pickle Rick]

I think this part is telling, and important:

"Please note the CDC advises that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Guests should evaluate their risk in determining whether to attend. People who show no symptoms can spread COVID-19 if they are infected, any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to COVID-19, and we cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed during your visit."

So in line with what myself and many others have been saying, you are welcome to come at your own risk. But the stores, parks, etc, will not guarantee it is a sterile environment.

Absolutely, but they are going with numerous restrictions, including it appears mandatory face coverings as one of them.

I didn't want to bring that part up, in hopes of saving 15 new pages of banter!

That's a nicely written CYA honestly...

It is honestly correct, too. If you are a senior citizen, it is best not to go to these places until there is a vaccine. Same is true if you have multiple comorbidities.

And temperature checks

Is there a temperature checks debate? And if we start one, would it help lessen the masks debate, or just waste more space?

What is the difference between a mask and a covering? When I think covering, I think of a Jasmine-esque slip of gauzy material that could potentially be open and fluttery-ish at the bottom. (If that makes any sense.) Which could be super fun, but also sounds like it doesn’t really hold in those coughs and “moist droplets.”

There's been mild ones regarding their usefulness and also sweaty children in Florida heat.

Mostly I think people don't feel as strongly about them due to the mostly non invasive and not too annoying process on the "at your own risk" side, and the "stricter measures" side realizes how many contagious individuals wouldn't have a fever anyways.

A bandana would be something that would meet a face covering requirement that is not a mask.

Last I heard they "CDC" were still recommending coughing and sneezing into your elbow

That's general advice that everyone should follow for the rest of their lives. It's like washing your hands after you use the restroom, it should have already been happening.

I'm still horrified at the beginning of this people started buying soap like it was a brand new product.

I’m sorry. I cannot get into that. I’m just not feeling real The Great debate potential in temperature checks...

We will continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as needed. Hours of operation are subject to change.

That has always been reccomened and likely always will be. While I often did it in the past if you cough into your hands and then later shake somebody's hands ... well. Elbow has always been the preferred option.

There are many senior citizens who are in better shape/health then allot of younger people. They take excellent care of themselves and have zero risk factors. No reason they shouldn’t participate. Life doesn’t need to be put on hold if you are healthy, you simply follow the same requirements as anyone else would.

A vaccine may never happen, it never has for aids or SARs . Yet life goes on and those who need too, moderate themselves.

What else do you want? Seems like an appropriate message that provides a critical reminder of the inherent risks, especially to certain populations. Not sure there is any other way to state those facts. Unless your point is that they shouldn't open until absolute 100 percent safety can be guaranteed for all--not sure what date that would ever be.

So, does anybody think Disney will waive the parking fee for Resort guests to encourage private vehicles? That would be awesome.

this is not the same situation. Citywalk is basically the parking garage for Citywalk and the parks, after 6pm they stop charging. They're waving parking fee because the parks are closed still
