Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Remy is Up]

Because it's a water park, where masks aren't really feasible. It shouldn't be an all or nothing proposition like you're trying to make it out to be.

Everyone is going to complain about any plan Disney puts out. Its the nature of the beast. And unfortunately dvc members and most ap holders are the most entitled bunch around. Hence why cast members dislike them

FYI, Animal Kingdom is now showing closing at 6PM. Looks like they are updating one park at a time.

And opening at 8am. That seems kind of random?

Just curious - was Chapek asked (or was there any mention (or even speculation) about when we MIGHT see fireworks at all ? What about nighttime shows, such as Fantasmic! ? I know Disney stated no parades - what about shows such as F! Or ROL?
I know Fantasmic! uses fireworks, but I wouldn't consider it to be a fireworks show -
Distancing aside, could they do the show without the fireworks?

Shanghai parade is back , three weeks after they opened. You can use that as a hope maybe.

Is it weird that no other resorts are listed as opening anywhere? Or maybe I missed it?

This was an email to DVC owners, thus all the resorts listed are DVC properties.

Any theories on what might happen to fastpasses after the new end times? My FOP is 605pm

I
Same here - and we had a blast on a "dusk-time" safari last trip, so booked a FP for this trip too ( after 6pm)

Too soon?



Making this made me feel better somehow...

Parades will most likely reopen before fireworks as it's way easier to distance with a parade than fireworks.

Respectfully disagree. All those performers dancing down Main St wearing masks in the heat isn’t the magical optics disney wants put out there... masks are a union requirement for staff upon reopening.

Thanks. I didn’t see that in the post!

Obsession?

For some, it's developed into an obsession that if you don't wear a mask when you leave your house, you're an evil person and aren't taking the pandemic seriously and are shamed. And it's now also begun to move from a public health debate to a political debate. So it's going to get very ugly as this wears on through the summer of an election year.

Are there fireworks involved or strictly parade? Thanks !

Disney isn’t obsessed with masks.

Maybe an attempt to avoid a larger role drop crowd the hour later brings? Even in good times, the earlier the opening the slimmer the crowd.

I'm sure many of you saw that video that went viral regarding the lady getting chased out of a store by customers for not having a mask on
I can see it getting ugly at disney, but so hope that I am wrong !

It's a daytime parade. I have no idea if they ever have fireworks. Someone said earlier that the parade just started back up quietly. No announcement that it was going to start back up. IT was posted about earlier in this thread briefly.

 

[Farro]

Ratatouille had an official opening date before all this right? End of May? I can’t remember if it was rumour or fact.

Wonder when it opens now. Hopefully not too far off. I’m also super curious how ROTR will operate, seems like ages ago when the biggest Disney concern was its downtime.

Sorry if this was answered - I was reading on another site that there was still a few weeks of work left before the shutdown and that there is an issue with training the people who are to run it?

DHS 10am to 8pm

Caution anyone looking to this as a guideline to remember that Shanghai is in much better shape concerning the virus.

 

[vinotinto]

Are we assuming that the (non-DVC) resorts will reopen July 11th (with some consolidation, of course)? Because I feel they are skirting around that in the announcements.
