Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[anthony2k7]

as far as a normal Disney at Christmas, Dr. Fauci just said this morning

"I would hope that by November we would have things under such control that we could have a real degree of normality."

A "degree of" doesn't mean 100% back to normal.

It could mean only with social distancing.

No need to continue, I said I didn't name all cases knowing everyone would chime in, no need to do that, close those shows easy fix.

Yeah you also said there weren't that many situations where it would even happen, which of course was very wrong

mask in queues and trans , six feet spacing like stores are doing now


Not what I am saying at all

But it is what you are saying.

The only time you're not stationary near people for a number of minutes is when you're walking between locations.

I agree that places like Disney probably will (and should) be one of the last things to open. But to many, even the day to day businesses that we need to reopen are far too dangerous.

Agreed! I just tried to keep as much of my response Disney related to keep @rteetz happy!

The uh... “closeness” factor of burning man far exceeds contact of people at WDW... shockingly enough

Have you ever been at Magic Kingdom on a crowd level 8 or above day lol? I’m not sure I agree with you.

I wonder after Disney reopens, how long will it take for conventions and cheer competitions, etc., to start having conferences again?

We booked Gran Destino for May (21) and are going the weekend of a cheer competition - I wonder if it won't happen....god I can't wait to stay there!

I think they mean a different...kind...of closeness.

I have been at Disney on a level 8/9 day, and definitely was not *that* close to anyone

I can't imagine how counter service will work.

If we all stand 6 feet apart the lines will be in the parking lot!

Apologies if this has been discussed, but I'm wondering if we'll see the CMs seating people at QS locations to keep guests spread out.

I don't know, but I wonder if maybe at buffets they will have cast members serving instead of self-serve?

We were at MK this past Christmas day. We did mobile ordering for Columbia Harbor House and the line for pickup was out the door. Not even mentioning the stalking for a table that was going on! Not everyday is like that but Disney definitely has a tough job ahead to make decisions to get the parks back open safely. I dont envy them.

So, I'm just reading other planning threads on the happy dance board.

I know a lot of people won't feel comfortable going back to Disney until there's a vaccine and that's totally okay. But the talk of low crowds because of Covid I think is not going to happen. People do not want to cancel now and if they are, most are rebooking just for later this year!

So Disney is really going to be in a pickle if they go the limiting amount of people who can come route. I can't imagine having to rebook, and then be told we can't come because too many other people will be there at same time.

Also, in terms of discounts, if they do limit amount of people to come, I think there will be zero discounts.

Ugh. I feel bad for everyone going this year.

Yes, I completely agree.

Also, we have flexible date tickets, and I'm sure other people do too. If Disney isn't up and running until next year, they will need to consider extending all those tickets that are set to expire on 12/31/2020 - which will create even more of a problem.

I agree also. I dont know how I would feel if I had a vacation planned in the next few months, especially if the parks and overall experiences were limited. I feel for the people who have already had to change their plans. For me I wouldn't want to go if I couldn't experience Disney full throttle. I feel very fortunate we were there last December.

Stay positive! I think in the summer that restaurants will be opening again (tables a bit further apart ), small businesses can hopefully start up again...maybe not huge festivals like Taste of Chicago or the like, but maybe block parties can happen, weddings can happen...

All I want to happen is for my daughter to have her dance recital on June but no clue if even something is open that will happen and we are a small studio.

Texas gov signing an executive order next week for a plan to start reopening

Could be the beginning of a trend

Important to remember that every case is not a worst case scenario and most resolve at home, in isolation and with medical supervision. Those people can still spread the virus if those they live with do not practice isolation as well & if leaving the home for essential needs - practice social distancing diligently.

Hospitals would not become overrun by asymptomatic, or symptomatic people who have mild symptoms.. there’d be no need for them to attend a hospital for care or treatment. Asymptomatic & mildly symptomatic results will definitely impact the overall numbers as they transmit unknowingly. the hospital/public health system would remain minimally impacted in those cases.

But none of this negates the need for full and complete numbers and real transparency before making decisions that will impact masses of people.

I think you're missing an important underlying issue. Governments/bureaucracies are limited in their ability to be transparent or secretive for that matter. They can't force private entities to report to them and they can't completely control the flow of data. The state government could very well be attempting total transparency, but that doesn't mean all numbers will be perfectly accurate or complete.
As for "full and complete numbers and real transparency" you speak of, I wish we had some of that in the models that have been wildly inaccurate and have left millions if not billions of people around the world in financial peril.
