Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[gottalovepluto]

The Q code in Shanghai has the technology to know if someone tested positive for the virus or was on public transportation or at a store or at a party or gathering with someone who was infectious in the past two weeks. Those green codes allow Disneyland there to be pretty sure they aren’t letting in people who are infectious. They can be more confident to open shows.

We don’t have that kind of tracking here. I am sure if there are still cases in the part of the public population that is allowed to travel to DisneyWorld there will be infectious people in the parks.

Obviously there will be infected people in the parks. Every businesses that opens does so ultimately assuming it’s guests are infected.

Quite often what one person thinks looks like fun, look awful to someone else. I'm absolutely chomping at the bit to go because we can have fun at WDW regardless of the changes they may implement. There are a few things that will keep us home, but having to distance from other guests and wear masks aren't 2 of them. I'm surprised so many are having fit about either of them.

I have no issue with what they are doing and I would do it just to go to a park. I go to multiple parks every summer so I love theme parks. Why I am in no hurry any more is that my health at this moment relies too much on others following the rules.

I think it’s time for me to take my refund & go camping, lol. I want to try to reschedule for July but also I just keep getting my VAH hopes dashed.

We are scheduled to go June 9-18. I think we are officially calling it quits this week as well. Its such a bummer, but hopefully will make it back sometime next year.

That’s disappointing, but I also have to wonder how it will go when Disney does schedule park CMs. It seems to me they would want to announce parks opening instead of it being leaked by schedules being released. My husband doesn’t have a schedule per se to check, but would be notified by phone. Every time his Disney phone makes a sound I wonder if it will be good news. I don’t think he has even looked at The Hub since April 18th when he turned his laptop off and officially “stopped working”. I’m hopeful we will all hear something soon. The longer the uncertainty goes on, the harder it gets.

I agree. WDW needs to announce their target reopening date already. Enough is enough. We know they have one by now. Hopefully we know more in the next few days, but I’m not counting on it with how everything has been handled up until now. Even if they will open by our trip (June 29-July 4), I would still need to know exactly what the parks would look like before I committed to going at this point. I waffle between wanting the parks to be open in a fashion where we can go and just cancelling the trip because I’m tired of checking on updates about reopening. :/

I posted on another thread... this popped up on my phone today for my July trip.

the scheduled was posted today, it usually comes out Sunday, no one scheduled for attractions at DHS (that's the only one I can say for certain. Waiting until later to message friends and ask about their schedules

What week would that schedule be for?

Nvm...found it

I got the same message when I opened the app. I think it’s there now for the foreseeable future instead of the “parks are closed” message.

I got that same message pop up on my phone for my June trip. We're scheduled June 12-17th, so we're either in the wave of cancellations today/tomorrow or they are going to start this partial reopen. I agree that it would be helpful for Disney to announce their target plan of reopening already - i'm sure they have a date and are already internally working towards it. We were postponed from April 2020 to June. If they delay reopening again for us with no announcement of an actual reopen, we're taking the cash refund and going somewhere else.

I get the same message logging onto App, I suspect anyone who has the app gets that message and they can see you accepted it.

Yeah, I have no trip planned and I got the same message.

I wonder if any other CMs got schedule updates? I would think if they were going to reopen mid-June, they would need a few week lag time for retraining or final preparations? Or maybe test out the parks, similar to what they did in HK?

I think someone said upthread people are being called back in via phone calls and not the hub. Senior CM’s are going to be called back in first and told to keep it to themselves. Some of the junior CM’s may not be called back in for some time if they’re really doing the lower capacity crowds. As I said before, I agree that the hub will only have the CM schedules AFTER WDW announces a reopening of the park. There isn’t going to be a ton of training for the CM’s, but there will be some. I think they’ll have dedicated “compliance teams” which are in charge of enforcing the rules just like they do in retail for loss prevention rather than the rank and file CM’s. I’d expect they’ll wait until the last possible second they can to call back in CM’s for the theme parks. Remember, they aren’t making any money right now and have to pay these people to work during training with no revenue coming in from the parks. It’s purely a financial situation.

I believe training has appeared for all CMs in the HUB-- "to be done first day back." It was posted yesterday.

... Those swinging doors have grossed me out for years anyway. YES!

Here that is absolutely true. In Shanghai, not so much. I wouldn’t assume that shows or experiences they can offer in Shanghai will be offered here.
