Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Pickle Rick]

So no mention of resorts?

 

[JenBush]

Holy crap - our first park day is 7/16

My first park day is 7/15, fingers crossed the resorts are open.

 

[jessiegirl1982]

So disappointed. We are barely missing our 7/7-14 trip. My son is going to be crushed.

 

[Brianstl]

Disney stock is up a a few cents. I don’t see how after that.

 

[Bibbobboo2u]

finally asked about recourse for guests who don't comply with masks. WDW answering vaguely by just saying squads reminding, etc. NEW - looking at establishing relaxation zones for mask-off time????

This presentation was on parks only. Resorts not need task force approval to open

 

[DaBourques4]

Mid-July is the end of summer for you?

It is for me. We go back to school the first week of August and have pre-planning and prep days in the 2 weeks before.

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

For us, we have an AP expiring in early August. We have to pay the same whether or not we use it in July. So there's no way I'd go with regular tickets...I can't decide if it's worth it or not to attend even with my AP (we're far out of state so talking plane tickets and such - it's not like it's no big deal if we get there and it's a bust)

And now that a reopening date(s) are released, I am waiting for that phone call from Disney about our AP partial refund confirmation.

ah ok thanks.

I’ve been watching the whole presentation, and I’m shocked that they decided to present today. They might as well have waited to see how Universal’s opening goes and how the numbers look closer to July. They have quite a few strict requirements that may very well not be needed by mid-July. Beyond masks being brutal in the heat, no fireworks or meet and greets are so sad. And then I’m curious about the reservation system? Resorts?

 

[KrissyD715]

Since no character meets, what does this do for character dining?

 

[MMSM]

I called June 26-July 3 yesterday and feel so good now. I am happy they announced a day so people can plan. I am curious about DVC since I still have a two night stay that is becoming difficult to refund/exchange. Also, really curious on water parks.

Just tell him that Mickey got COVID-19, so he won’t be seeing anyone right now.

 

[tinkerhon]

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. Can't wait to hear about the buses

busses and resort news - should be fun

You should be happy. The experience at the parks when they reopen will be crushing to the soul.

 

[tinkerhon]

Where can we see Chapek?

I
Waiting on line for world of disney?

 

[Tandy]

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

Cant find where anyone said there was going to be competition..
But the fact is for a month they really wont have any competition (apart from sea world)
Just mentioned that a lot of people are going to shift over to there with booked trip

disney is definitely going to be cautious. I suspect everything they said they will implement they will.

They did what people have been asking for and giving a date and an idea what will change. They have done that. Now people can start making decisions.
