Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[gottalovepluto]

Did anyone consider that maybe Governor DeSantis hasn't approved it yet because of the new mask recommendations by the WHO? Their recommendations are that healthy people who don't exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 only wear masks when taking care of someone infected with the contagion. This could be a game changer for WDW if the CDC changes its guidelines!

That’s not new. It’s long been the most common argument mask argument point.

Mask people: CDC says to and watch this person pee!!!!!!

No make people: WHO says no

I was reading that as well as an article from NEJM stating the same thing. DeSantis seems to be really hot on face coverings (literally), so I don’t think that’s in play here. People are going to have to wear them unless recommendations are revised or they go into Phase 2 and 3 quickly.

I won’t go if I have to wear one, but others will. All personal choice.

Link? Surely this is talking about the medical masks, not the ones we all wear. Those don't protect you, they protect others in case you are a carrier. So someone taking care of an infected person would want to wear an N-95 mask, and should not wear those for the general population.

Folks are going to quickly find the masks that work the best in hot, humid weather. It’s just not cotton.

Or if a private business says you need to wear them to be on their property regardless of phases or reccomendations.

Can we please stop this mask nonsense before it starts for the 1000th time? They are required. End of story.

You would approve the plan as is, and then they would addendum / revise as needed. Too ridiculous to go through the whole process over just for a single item in the plan like that.

Friday please be kind.. we have enough to process as is.

Attempts to stop The Great Mask Debate have never been successful. It will outlive all of us.

If they refuse to approve the proposal because they’re mad at the date, they’re only going to end up pushing it back later. I don’t know why you’re rooting for that.

They might be negotiating Disney's new state unemployment tax - aka, if they wait that long, their 2021 state rate will go up...

I'm so over it.

Initially people will hate them. Then they’ll find really cool and comfortable ones. Finally, they’ll not want to stop wearing them as they’ll have become fashionable. It’s fun to watch the progression.

Yeah seems about right!

That’s how I feel too & this is where the anger comes in b/c they continued to allow ppl to give them money knowing full well they weren’t opening. I think it was you who said you’re not a bank that they can just draw funds from as needed. It also bothers me that other ppl have continued to make excuses for them. It seems naive to believe that this is for health & safety only. Then you get called entitled if you are angry that they were intentionally deceptive. Now the statements made regarding them not necessarily opening just because they’re taking reservations in June & then July make sense. But also is infuriating. I was rationalizing still going b/c out dates were still valid. But the more I think about how they have done things the angrier I get.

I disagree they were intentially deceptive but you certinaly have a right to be upset. it's a crazy situation all the way around. They should have turned off new reservations until they knew their opening date but I really don't think they expected it to be this long. Everybody though has the right to be upset if you don't llike how they handled things and obviously the more impacted somebody is the more upset they will be. In the end though the only way you can get a message across is not to give them money. I think the question you need to ask yourself is knowing the changes that will be made and how angry you already are, can you go and have a good time?

Our fastpasses have disappeared from MDE. A little sad, but obviously expected. Interestingly, I have not received a cancellation email from Disney yet. Also, all ADR’s are still there. We love Disney IT

Edit: I just got the email.

How does that work? It’s not like they can move WDW to another state.

I think we are good...until about 8-9pm... Though maybe someebody can call sven and get us tonight's data dump in advance.

I posted this in other thread - but I already got the email! I'll never try to understand their system....

Wait!!! I just got the email - they are crazy. I don't have theme park admission, just a resort reservation for May 2021! They must consider reservations valid them park admission.

Unfortunately, these new measures have required us to cancel any FastPass+ selections you may have made. In addition, upon reopening, Extra Magic Hours will be temporarily suspended. We recognize the inconvenience this poses and we’re deeply sorry.

‌However, because you have valid Theme Park admission, you will have access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We’ll be contacting you soon with details on this new system.
