Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[anthony2k7]

Restaurants can order and get supply in 2-3 days

Only if suppliers have stock.

According to some new reports I won’t discuss because of the rules of the board... yea, not out of the question.

One study that was based on assumptions no one knows about virus. I wouldn't put too much faith in that.

From article:

The study acknowledged that prolonged distancing would most likely have profoundly negative economic, social and educational consequences.

They have stock, restaurants have been open maybe not at Springs but they are, that supply chain never closed. Anyhow, if they get word later this week early next week plenty of lead time to get supplies and stock in place for an early May open

Ok again, we'll wait and see.

Pretty sure you're wrong and not seeing the bigger picture. Entire supply chains are massively impacted by this.

How will the parks and the Disney stores be able to sell merchandise ? Mickey plushies, corona virus can live for days....Vacuum pack everything ?

Fewer shops open. Mandatory hand sanitizing, staffed by a cast member (a la DCL) before you enter the store and when you leave.

DCL has some sort of mandatory hand sanitizing situation? (I've never been on DCL)

Not a single health expert or doctor has suggested keeping everything shut down that long.

Good of you to point out a "strawman" argument.

You understand that most restaurants in Florida are still open giving take-out, right? There hasn't been any evidence of a supply chain issue in Florida.

So what the Florida surgeon general opines means nothing for Disney?

Is he an elected official?

If not, he needs to consider other factors and not just “his beliefs”. Making decisions this huge on “beliefs” rather than “factual data” is a slippery slope.

Disney is going to reopen no matter what he or anyone else that’s not an elected official says.

Vaccines aren’t going to happen anytime soon and when they do it won’t matter, people will decline it. We will have to live with the virus and the sooner that begins the sooner we can all get back to our lives.

But the scale of current takeout operations is tiny compared to normal restaurant consumption though right? So suppliers will have had to dump stocks that were not needed due to all the restaurants being shut.

Disney isn't just going to open May 1st either though. They are basing their opening on data and information from people like the Florida Surgeon General.

As I watch the news and do more research things change often and it can be hard to keep up with. With that, IMHOP Disney will try to open in stages, capacity restrictions, install extra sanitary stations and have to curb different activities probably in July. I think with what they will have to abide by is going to take some time to figure out and implement. I can't see any way that the theme parks can open as they were and operate like they were before this.

Thank you to who post who are living down in Florida, I like hearing what you are experiencing. I believe you would have a lot of information on how things are going.

I understand the economy can't stay shut down for 18 months or so but I do believe we need to find a balance for economic recovery and the health and safety of people. There are always ways to make money but you only have one life. I also feel that the theme parks will use their best judgement in making a decision.

Yes they have Dr Fauci and Dr Acton in Ohio

And let's not forget all of the self-appointed "experts" posting here on the DIS!

In regards to WDW opening, I don't know whether it's a national decision or a Florida one.

In Florida, cases per day have been declining since March 30. In Orange and Osceola Counties, the same. Hospitals are at about 40 percent capacity. So if it's strictly a Florida decision, there doesn't seem to be much reason to wait past May 1 other than waiting is apparently good in this thing.

Nationally, Bill gates hasn't released today's data, so I don't know what it's going to show. But New York -- where more than half the hospitalizations and deaths are occurring -- apparently is flattening or declining.

I think the reason Disney is taking June reservations is that they fully expect to be open in a serious way June 1. I imagine parts of the company -- like DSS or other ancillaries that have shut down -- to be back in action mid May. As for opening to guests, I don't know if that's limited capacity, or resorts only, or Katie-Bar-the-Door, but I'm confident they'll be open in some way. I know a lot of people think that is a bad decision, but the actual numbers I'm seeing suggest that's the decision they've made.

I'd love to see the handwashing stations that they have in the kids clubs on DCL in the parks. Those things are wonderful!

 

[mattpeto]

I think it's really bad luck we finally get an official attraction for Mickey and Minnie and a new theme song to beat and Disney World and Disneyland remain shutdown.

Nothing can stop us now...

WTH

Understood, however the information used in determining whether or not to open up should be actual data, not assumptions or projections that can easily be manufactured or manipulated.

The Surgeon General from my understanding stated things will never be normal until there is a vaccine. That, is nothing more than his “belief”. The average age of the person who has passed from this virus outside of NY, is over 80. That’s a fact, not a belief or projection.

Parks will be and should be opened soon. Those at higher risk or nervous or scared have the freedom to stay in and isolate, just like those of us who are ready to go out can do so. One side can’t hold the other hostage as the virus isn’t going away anytime soon.

EDIT - Agree May 1 is not an option, it’ll have to be phased as other parts of the economy reopen. Amusement parks are likely last on that list.

As a Floridian, this statement is completely incorrect. While we haven't had a major peak again, there have been days of increases and not just decline since April 1st.


And there are hospitals overloaded.

Peak is late April early may. When you live here the noise about what Florida is dealing with and how the politics here work is just that. Noise. If you don't live here you don't have a clue

But was he referencing new cases or active cases?
