Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Krandor]

So when will the resort hotels open...DVC rooms? Cash rooms?

No news and was never going to be in this presentation

Florida doesn't start cooling down till October.

Oh yes, I'm quite aware.... I was going to post about less of the hurricane season too... but actually later in the season has higher chance of them. I think tornado saw storms come nearby mid-October. I agree, it'll be difficult for those already having trouble breathing in the hot, humid air.

 

[atricks]

Maybe.

They'll own July 4th week at least. (And seaworld) Although I bet both will be at capacity that week. Before that, maybe not.

This is going to be an awful experience when you consider the cost.

Agreed. Even if the - Border was open it would be a no go for us. We go fo the magic this doesn’t sound magical

 

[SwirlTheCitrus]

Where can we see Chapek?

 

[SaintsManiac]

Yeah, I wouldn't do any sort of major trip now unless I was someone going very regularly (multiple times a year) - otherwise I would reschedule to next year

Yep even if my AP was still active and I got a room discount it's not worth the hellish drive there.

I just noticed that the mask requirement states face coverings are required while "on property" That implies at the resorts as well as the parks.

 

[FCDub]

This is going to be a terrible vacation experience. I'm not going till its all open again. No fireworks? No parades? In reality, they should just say no magic. I bet they will still charge full price for this crazy experience. They need to give people who have reservations the next few months discounts on their park tickets cause they aren't getting a full park experience at all.

Then don't go?

anyone else think this might be what chapek speaks about on tv?

 

[0FF TO NEVERLAND]

Then don't go?

I won't

[gottalovepluto]

Peace out peeps! Obviously my June trip is off the table and like hell I’m hitting up FL in July. UOR isn’t worth the hassle to come from CA for me.

Sadness to those that lost trips today and kudos to those who lived!

 

[JacknSally]

The WDW presentation is over. Now OC is presenting about the health inspections they did at Seaworld and WDW. Q&A will come after that. Most likely we've gotten all the info we'll get at this point and won't get much more definite info until closer to July 11 (whether that's a week from now, a month from now, or July 10 lol)

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Really disappointed with the news and their strategy. I hope they add experiences back quickly like parades, characters and fireworks, but thinking it’s more a cost cutting move than a concern for safety.

Well, it could be both, or one influencing the other

E.g., we need to drastically limit capacity for safety reasons which reduces revenue which we need to compensate for by eliminating expenses

 

[SaintsManiac]

They'll own July 4th week at least. (And seaworld) Although I bet both will be at capacity that week. Before that, maybe not.

Good for them. This isn't a competition. Disney doesn't really have any serious competition. They will be fine.

 

[MickeyWaffles]

This morning, my sister guessed a week after the 4th of July. Wow, she was right on the money.

 

[SwirlTheCitrus]

anyone else think this might be what chapek speaks about on tv?

Hoping!!

 

[Krandor]

ooh.. question about enforcement on masks.

 

[tinkerhon]

I’ve been wearing a mask everywhere indoors, grocery shopping, on flights, but haven’t worn one outside. No issues, don’t love it but it’s not terrible. In Tampa right and after ten minutes of wearing one outside in the sun I felt like I was going to die. No Disney for me for a while.

Same. 58 degrees in NYC last night and was suffocating with mask on !

 

[RamblingMad]

I agree. I bet they were thinking of an late Aug opening and they had to speed things up a month because of UO

They’ll have a smooth process by the time WDW opens.
