Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Yet that's what happened to the woman I referenced.

What's her job in Shanghai's requirement for temp?

 

[J-BOY]

She isn't sick is the point. Thought that was clear...

Right, and she was able to go back in because her temperature went down. If someone truly has a fever, their temperature shouldn't just go down after 15 minutes spontaneously, so they still wouldn't be allowed entry.

They already extended your pass?

Yes. I was set to expire 6/1 so I called to see what I should do and they said it was already extended to September 1.

You're correct, they should. Let's hope CMs have the proper training on the protocol and guests don't flip out on them.

More effective than temperature checks and all the issues that come along with those is going to be the assumption that everyone is positive and measures taken because of that, like distancing, masks, sanitizing, washing, etc. So many asymptomatic cases makes it so.

The temperature checks will only really help with stopping people who are trying to get in when they know they are sick. I wouldn’t be mad if that stuck around forever in an unobtrusive way like in Shanghai to curb the flu spread in Disney.

The only way to contain it completely is welding people inside their homes for the next year. No essential businesses, nothing. It’s a virus, there’s going to be outbreaks no matter if the host is asymptomatic, they’re from Florida, or Alaska, doesn’t matter. Having anything open at all and people being in close contact or touching things in stores can cause a spread. Temperature checks help catch maybe a small percentage, but it’s better than nothing. There are tons of people that are sick and still go out. Andrew Cuomo’s brother for example

We should probably pay more attention to what Universal is doing, that may give us more info than what Disney is willing to give us.

That’s interesting. But I’m done speculating over small indications. Weird they’d give a clear date on the extension rather than keep it rolling, but they could easily just restart the extension if they don’t open by the time your clock starts back up

They opened City Walk with just 3 days notice to guests. Their TMs are being called back into the parks. And they’re giving big discounts to AP holders to go to City Walk and shop. They are far above the curve than Disney is currently, and its not even close

I expect they will, but I doubt they just gave me 2 weeks for free, which is why I think they have no plans to reopen prior to 3 months since they closed.

Yes, I’m not sure where you got the impression I thought Disney could stop spread rather than prevent. Measures being taken on the assumption everyone is positive are going to be more effective in preventing spread than temperature checks, but temperature checks stop the people who are sick and likely know it from getting in.

It all works together. If an asymptomatic guest is not caught by the fever scanner (and they wouldn’t be) there’s still safety nets in place. Maybe a little more flimsy than we’d like in a perfect world lol, but better than nothing.

DeSantis just said he's making an announcement tomorrow for the "following steps" and whatever is implemented will start Monday
To see what time he speaks I just go to his twitter

Excited for this, but I'm also losing hope for my June 12 trip. I need to get through to Delta - right now they're not giving me the option to schedule a call back which sucks. I know normally they wouldn't, but has anyone been able to change the name on a ticket during all this? I paid for both tickets with my CC (myself & my sister) but I'd like to "buy" her ticket or credit and just use it on something else months away. Again, I know normally they'd say no way, but I'm going to try and see what I can do. Otherwise I'll just bump our flights to like a year from now, I guess, to somewhere else relatively cheap haha.

 

[Tandy]

He said he will be speaking in Jacksonville tomorrow and will announce next steps. I’m hoping for phase 2 to start soon. From the way he answered a reporter’s question it sounded like he intends to announce when gyms can reopen tomorrow.

Dont say you hope that .. it seems to be frowned upon here

I was speaking in general, not specifically towards you. But I did quote your post, so it’s easily assumed that I was speaking on behalf of your post, I apologize

I'm considering getting my Disney AP refund and (depending on how USO looks when they open) switching to a Universal pass for the year. I've been wanting to get one for a while but I didn't want to have both in the same year. But maybe it'd be fun to ride Hagrid's & the Hulk for a year while the rest of the parks ease back into opening up.

No, what temp do they consider she can't enter?

 

[Mit88]

agreed. They could always retract the 2 weeks if they wanted to, but they’re definitely not giving out free weeks. Just strange they’d make that decision to mark it at 3 months rather than keep it rolling until they know for sure. The 3 month mark is still a month away. We don’t know what things will look like by then

You're right. Nobody knew this was coming, but they sure are handling it a whole lot better. I love Disney, but transparency is key, especially in a time like this.

No need to apologize .

Yeah if they can fever test like Shanghai and have a plan in place when someone measures high (because you know people will argue) I think they’re probably the least annoying change we get.
