Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Mit88]

Now we want people to take lie detector tests before going to DS or the parks to get the truth of if they were quarantining properly?

I appreciate the report of how it went for you

Thanks for the positivity!

I forgot to mention. T-Rex was a totally wonderful experience. Food was great, service was great, and my 3 year old who is dinosaur obsessed loved it.

Also Disney CM's were selling Mickey balloons, and seemed to be training. They had a balloon guy, payment taker and supervisor standing back and stepping in if something went wrong (he took two popped balloons). Just something else I remembered.

Watched a livestream of DS today (in the evening)...so many people wearing no mask or wearing it with nose exposed or around their necks (no food or drink in hand).

This is why we can't have nice things.

So maybe the earlier reports this evening were accurate. I know the live stream I watched shares your observation.

This tweet says it all.

Sounds more like the normal crap people throw at Disney and their fans because it gets clicks. Some of the stuff is deserved, but tweets like that are just piling on to get clicks.

I don’t know what to tell you. We can’t all live in a bubble for the rest of our lives because someone might get sick.

That's the point. We have to leave the bubble, so let's try not to kill another 100K people while we do it, especially when the sacrifices being asked are so incredibly small in the grand scheme of things.
"You need to stop working because I don't want to change my life in any way to help you stay safe" is just a depressing attitude.

It's not really their choice if it is the only way they can afford food but we will have to agree to disagree on that one.

Regardless, Disney agreed to certain safety policies to protect the CMs and the CMs agreed to come to work based on those policies actually being enforced.

And it will be the CMs that have to enforce it. But if 20% or people coming in are pulling the masks off, there isn’t enough security to throw that many people out. So what’s the solution to that? Close the park and furlough the CMs again? They are then unemployed again. That only hurts the CMs in the end.

Yeah, I’ve gotta think that the Disney brass is watching mask/distancing compliance right now in Disney Springs. If there was a high level of compliance, they would likely feel more comfortable pushing for a more aggressive reopening timeline. As is...

Disney springs survey. They asked questions about the temp checks. Directional signs, social distance signs and mask requirement. How safe and well performed every aspect was

Omfg this is so much better than the people with the ipads cornering you when you walk into any park. All the QRA codes pls. I always feel bad saying no to them

 

[SaintsManiac]

Didn’t we say like 500 pages ago that they wouldn’t enforce it?

I disagree. How is it that most who went to CityWalk has no issues wearing a mask yet the same can't be said for Disney Springs.

Whoever thought it would be heavily enforced was kidding themselves or they've never been to Disney. Again, personal responsibility.

Just out of curiousity, who announced closing first in March? WDW or UO? Thanks.

 

[Mit88]

It was the first day, I think people are going a little overboard with the mask concerns. How many did it at CW and how many did it at DS is really not relevant. From the pictures I’ve seen, there were far more people at DS today than the first day CW was open. Disney, I’m sure is well aware of the backlash from people taking their masks off and will use that and make adjustments tomorrow.

I’m sure their claims were scientifically based. I mean if it’s on Twitter it has to true, right?

This has been going on in Florida for weeks now with the new case rate declining, so there’s that. A large amount of people aren’t wearing mask correctly or not at all, and it is only becoming more common. Once people see others not wearing a mask others we stop as well, with exceptions of course. It appears masks being required by Disney is just satisfying liability concerns, as once you get in it doesn’t matter.

As I recall, it was Disney.

 

[StevieB81]

Totally see your point - guess my heart is leading me towards a moral standpoint -
There will be situations where someone has recently tested negative for Covid-19, but can't enter the parks because they have an affliction that doesn't allow them to wear a mask

I'll throw this out there, just to make it more complicated. Someone that has already had it, has the anti-bodies, and can't get it or give it to anyone else. What then?

Agreed what I have said all along, Disney has never really enforced rules like that before.

We live in an imperfect world with imperfect people. All of us are imperfect. If you can’t handle people not wearing a mask or wearing it improperly, don’t come to any park. Because you are going to encounter people doing both at every park no matter how hard staff works to make everyone comply. You are going to have a miserable time and you need to find some kind of other trip to take where you don’t come into contact with as many people. Plus, you are going to make everyone else miserable including the staff at the parks.

When my family and I go in September we will be wearing our masks while remembering what kind of world we live in and understanding that comes with certain risks.
