Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[AmberMV]

I'm basing numbers on the earlier tweet that suggested 80-85% of people were wearing masks. That means 15-20% were not.

How many people did security remove from Disney Springs today for not wearing masks? Does anyone know?

I'm not talking about denied entry....I'm talking about people who are in, wore the mask for a little while and then take it off or pull it down past their nose or to their necks. Are they then removed from Disney Springs? Im not asking if they should be, do we know if they are?

You've proven consistently you just like to start drama and pick fights. You weren't there today, you are speculating on what other people who went said, and you looked at a couple of pictures and made a presumption that 1/5 of people at DS today weren't complying with the mask requirement. We all well know now that they allow you to take your mask off to eat or drink, and the pictures I saw most of those people were doing just that. You absolutely must know that media there today would be trying to find anyone without a mask on, because that will start conversation and drama. They sure tricked you, because you took the bait and ran with it. I saw 2 people in those pictures who weren't actively eating, and everyone else in a mask.

Oh, I can help you with that:

@rteetz just stated the other day that anyone discussing how they will skirt Disney rules will have their posts deleted and that it is not allowed on this site. Since he is a moderator I assume that is a rule.

Gimme a break. In all likelihood it’s probably mostly the same crowd right now visiting both places. Ppl really do love to hate on Disney .

Nailed it.

I don't have time to read back through all of the pages from today, was there real news?

Let’s see..

No cancelled reservations

Proposals for reopening to be tabled this week - Universal going first.

NBA close to choosing WDW to restart their season.. MLS as well

DS reopened which has given us a whole lot of mask convo today...

And someone brought a charcoal grill to The Springs set it up next to Cooks Of Dublin and grilled hot dogs for a whole lot of kids.. I counted nine in one pic on twitter.

Just the usual

-VP visited with tourism leaders in Orlando and SeaWorld mentioned a mid June opening
-WDW, UOR, and SW will be submitting their reopening plans to the County Mayor tomorrow
-Disney Springs reopened and we learned that Disney will not be making mask exceptions for anyone, regardless of the reason (please don’t @ me. I’m just reporting what’s been announced and an done with the M debate from now on)
-More speculation in the sports community about NBA/MLS coming to WDW

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.

It’s happening here too & as the temps increase, it’ll happen more & more. Again, I think ppl mean well til they go to do it.

I was there pretty much all day and I think 20% is absurd. That's 1 of every 5 people. That was not my observation at all. Maybe 5% at most. The area by Polite Pig had some and the area around Chicken Guy but really I have massive doubt on the 20% figure unless they all started when I left around 7.

Awesome recap, thanks! I didn't see any coverage of the Vice President visiting Orlando today. I feel like that is noticeably absent.

You've proven consistently you just like to start drama and pick fights. You weren't there today, you are speculating on what other people who went said, and you looked at a couple of pictures and made a presumption that 1/5 of people at DS today weren't complying with the mask requirement.

I actually linked to a tweet where someone said 99% of people at Citywalk wore masks while he was there yesterday but in his experience at Springs today, only 80-85% of the people there were wearing them, and the 15-20% that weren’t wearing masks were not people with food/drink (he said he intentionally didn’t include maskless people with food/drink in his count)... I think that’s the tweet that was being referenced here, not the one with the 4 photos. Sorry! I was just sharing another account from someone who was there today, it wasn’t meant to be taken as statistical fact.

This just expands the rules for you/anyone.

Ahh, see, I posted my other reply too soon. Thanks!

He did get lunch at a burger place in Orlando. No one (him/his team or the employees) wore masks there, either, from the photos I saw online.

That’s because nothing happened outside of a comment by Sea World that they were shooting for sometime in June. I drowsed off listening to it.

Forgot all about him.. lol!

He did a round table with tourism executives that was little more then a whole lot of nothing in terms of what we were hoping for.



(forgot to add - he’s coming back next week - something about a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral..)

It was discussed at length but then pictures came in from DS and well, the M word encompassed everything and everyone from that point on.

Well, I got to admit, my eyes are exhausted from reading all this stuff. Time to watch DisUnplugged.

So after reading more explanations on Twitter and seeing a couple of other photos, it appears the family is orthodox and were preparing a kosher meal. Doesn’t change that it’s an odd sight and the rolling suitcase and the open-flame grill are prohibited (I’m assuming the grill is I can honestly say I’ve never paid attention because that’s never crossed my mind to have at Disney) but there’s a valid “why” at least.

The "why" is they thought the rules didn't apply to them. There is no defense to grilling in the middle of a mall.

Its exciting to hear one of the parks possible date to open. Seeing them testing coasters is a good sign. They do have the best coasters in Orlando.

Basically all sectors of hospitality (restaurants, hotels, theme parks) execs from Florida all did a Round Table discussion with the VP and Governor and they all told the VP how much their businesses are hurt by the pandemic and how they all want to open back up ASAP as safely as possible. The VP agreed and said the current administration agrees, and now the Governor will accept for review all theme park reopening plans presented (which it seems Universal Orlando) will be having a presentation on tomorrow. The other theme parks will have written submissions, sans speeches.

Oh, I didn’t mean to imply it was a defense or anyone who grills in the middle of a mall should get a pass. Just clarifying that there was something behind it that made it a little less “what the heck” than it appeared on the surface.
