Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[hereforthechurros]

WDW is going to have an issue on their hands with regards to the mask mandate if it goes on for an extended period of time. Forget the heat part of it...just the vacation part of it. A photo album full of mask-covered faces doesn't exactly scream "memories" to me.

Sorry but safety has to come before everything else right now.

I can’t believe so many people have never heard the term p***holes.

Oh and the I AM DVC AND AP double whammy. Moving on before this thread gets locked...

I would imagine they could only do it for a certain number of rides. They’d have to give people options while they wait rather than stores or crowding the streets. So E Ticket rides they could do VQ/FP and have smaller rides with standby

They can virtual 20 attractions across all parks. At the moment. Keep in mind that right now fps are set for larger crowds. When it resets to 15k a day vs 60k they can control it easier with all fp

I find it very hard to believe that a large majority even remotely think this. Lets try not to throw everyone under the bus just cause of a few nimrods.

Not even 40 minutes ago...

I'm stunned they expect you to wear a mask while sun bathing at the pool. Good Grief. Yeah, they are obsessed and yeah, DVC members expect top notch service and accommodations...we paid for it!

I wont even go over to the AP turnstiles when I go to the parks. For the most part, ive been there enough times to know what I have and what I can get with an AP, or with my DVC card. Typically I’m just happy to be there, in the parks, in the resorts. Never felt entitled to anything more than what I’m paying for. I’ll only refer to myself as an AP or DVC member if I’m asked. Like if a CM working at a merch stand asks if I have any discounts ill say I’m an Annual Passholder and hand my card to them. But I’ve seen many people flaunt their status just walking by in the parks

I didn’t know there was an AP turnstile. Lol. Is there really? I’m like you just happy to be there. I have had CM’s ask if I have a pass for the discount though.

Oh my gosh!!

I also wonder if the reduction in hours is to give them extra time to clean the park during the early phases of re-opening. I'm sure they will constantly be wiping things down during the day as well, but maybe they are using the extra hours over night to do more thorough cleanings of everything.

It’s to save money. No nighttime spectaculars to sell tickets too and limited restaurants outside of EP.

I have, but from what I’ve gathered its more of a DL term than WDW

In Florida they prefer the term annual a**holders.

Perhaps I don't understand, should DVC expect bad service and accommodations? People are paying for a service, not to be treated "special".

RIP my beautiful fastpass plans

I feel your pain ! Same here !

 

[SmittS]

Bodes well for EP restaurants

Not for breakfast. Was finally going to try Garden Grill!!!

 

[WonderlandisReality]

All park hours are gone in November???

 

[yulilin3]

Bob Chapek just posted a video on the HUB from MK, talking about reopening and safety and all that. He also mentions excitement for having talks with NBA and MLS for them to finish their seasons here, where they can play in a controlled environment. Then he talked about the reshuffle in management. He mentions he was at DS this morning/ He then talks about Disney + and movie productions with the sequel to Avatar starting to reshoot in a couple of weeks
I have to say he is getting better at public speaking

was just thinking that. Don't see any breakfast at Epcot at least for a limited time.

I'm astounded.

I look at it and always select the normal line and it goes faster

Not true

I'm sure it's not everybody but likely enough to give the group as a whole a bad name. The majority being nice and doing the right thing won't be noticed. Always the few rotten apples.

And you aren't one of the majority who are absolutely rude and entitled. You are what an ap and dvc member should be

 

[OnceUponATime15]

so it looks like this
MK 9am to 7pm
Epcot 11am to 9pm
DHS 10am to 8pm
AK 8am to 6pm

To accommodate bussing to the parks maybe. Staggering the opening hours would give them the ability to have busses for the park routes at peak travel times

Some AK busses would become extra DHS busses.. Some MK busses become extra EPCOT busses..
