Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[b2k1121]

Seriously, people are disappointed. Lay off. No one I saw ever expected everything to be open.

Disappointed by something everyone knew was going to happen? Did anyone honestly think Disney was going to announce an opening with no restrictions?

I'm sure it's in here but I can't find it - can someone link me to the presentation?

There were a lot of people that expected sooner then July 11th. I was expecting July 6th so not off by much but still later then I was even thinking.

I think we got our surprise

Personally I sort of applaud Disney for not rushing this. Taking their time, watching how other parks go.

So to the news only thread. It's in there.

There have been a few outliers who think masks are stupid and will be gone quickly, the virus concern is overblown, and Disney is crazy for playing into “fear” with their measures.

They’re outliers.

Perhaps, but they are few and far between. The I told you so's are irritating and I don't know why anyone enjoys doing them. Seems bizarre to me. At any rate, my mood sucks at the moment. So probably best just to take a break for a while and let all that garbage run through.

Same. So much can happen in the next 6 weeks. They were very smart to do this.

TO be honest, I was hoping there would be more detail. Sea World touched on seating for shows, changes (not elimination) to character interactions, details in the water parks, etc. Disney didn't even address shows or water parks. Granted, they still have 6+ weeks to issue those details, but I thought it was very light.

Still so many questions. Resorts, transportation, parties. With the restrictions listed - no parades, fireworks, character meet and greets, touchless everything -what is the point of the Halloween parties? The first is only a month after opening.

The ones who asked for that are rare- but go ahead, if this is the kind of posting that rows your boat, go after it. Enjoy.

No info on water parks, right? UO had to announce Volcano Bay - these are still parks. Did Disney say anything?

 

[snvanvl]

I wouldn't be surprised if they waited to open because they want to open Disneyland at the same time.

 

[Spaceguy55]

I just change my dates from the 4th of july weekend to the week when all parks will be open under the fun and sun special..I hope the Rat ride and Space 220 are open.

Yup.

The others look desperate not brave IMO.

 

[StephenM84]

Did they go into detail on the masks? Is it all guest or 3 and up for disney?

 

[Carol Jackson]

Cast members are going bonkers grabbing shifts.
Social Distancing Squad seems to be winning over Temperature Checker and Surface Sanitizing Custodian.

Given that universal and seaworld included waterparks in their presentations and disney didn't, I expect that's an answer on the water parks.

This was not the presentation for tons of details. Keep it simple and do just enough to get it passed. Too many details are too many things for people not to like.

 

[Bibbobboo2u]

substantially lower numbers of guest

 

[tinkerhon]

They didn’t provide the full plan for that. But basically you’re going to have to reserve (ahead of time probably on MDE) your spot in a park on a given day. May mean no hopping. May mean you can’t get into the park you want on a given day. Screams more to me that they’re opening minus resorts at first.

wow - so, basically all of the planning has gone out the window !
