The entire point is a quarantined bubble. Encountering CMs who have not been in the bubble breaks the bubble. Millions of dollars & months of planning down the drain for a break from boredom? That’s a no.
Yeah, at this point, with Universal being so much more communicative, and with months of research and data, and with Shanghai reopened and the data from that, I feel strongly that they need to provide concrete information and not just he rolling cancellation.
Who cares?? Who determines what’s considered heavy from a medical standpoint in the parks. Or who is older? Ppl don’t always look their age. Do ppl just not have the ability to mind their business?!
And Universal did a huge one better than Disney. They said people buying tickets while this was going down could get refunds. Disney said those people can suck it and apply the value to another ticket later.
After you get eliminated from the playoff tournament you are free to leave the bubble and if you do you will not be readmittws
Yeah, none of the references to wait to reopen to Sept 1st or the Fall make that much sense to me. This pandemic will not go away anytime soon. It’s not going to be completely “safe” anywhere (except your house) for a long time. There won’t be an approved treatment, a vaccine or remotely close to 0 cases for a very long time, especially since businesses are reopening. It’s not like Sept 1 or Oct 1 will suddenly be “safe.” But, we also cannot stay home until it’s completely safe again. People need to get back to work. People crave some sense of normalcy. But, reopening has to be done with safety and health in mind. Disney knows the conditions that make the spread ideal: close proximity, spread of droplets, indoors, putting hands with the virus on the face. Disney knows the conditions that help reduce spread: distancing, everyone wears masks, frequent hand washing and sanitation. Disney knows all this and, for the last few months, they have been translating all this knowledge into procedures.
For some time now, Grand Destino Towers have been unavailable. This past Friday, all of CSR, all of CR and all CL rooms at every deluxe are not available. They open back up Sept1. Granted, I haven’t tried e dry date in July or August, but I’ve tried a bunch.
I don’t think anyone will care because someone being obese or over 60 visiting the parks does not affect anyone else’s chances of COVID spread.
This exactly. They have data from Shanghai. They know what is happening in Florida/the US in general from the task force- I doubt Universal is opening with no data to base it on. They need to communicate what is happening. Or say they don't like the data they have seen/have concerns/whatever and how they will make amends once they open. They would get MUCH more goodwill around this decision (IMO) if they extend the current policies or offer some kind of compensatory incentive for people who have had plans canceled. The biggest issues they have "dropped the ball" on are:
They didn’t even honor the rebooking offer they gave to people who lost a trip over Spring who unfortunately chose the first couple weeks of June. No new offer and no they would not transfer the old one.
I agree. It seems to me that it is unlikely they are reopening with buffets with character meets, but all of those can still be booked. Unless they are planning to do what they did in Shanghai with the characters doing a little parade? And FPs are available for character meets. Are they going to have those? Maybe with some “barrier” and distancing in place?
Well, you need tickets if you are going to make FPs. And if you are going to the parks you need FPs. So, I don’t see how guests can avoid purchasing tickets now for their July trips.
Agreed. I think their biggest issue is trying to balance all of that and keep the Disney Magic. IMO if Disney wants to open they need to lose some of that magic. If they want guests to wear masks they need to strictly enforce it. Keep reminding people as often as needed.
