Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[OnceUponATime15]

Trump just said some states could go to phase one tomorrow, already met criteria

He was talking about Wyoming, Utah & North Dakota at the time.

But disney still has some very unique problems to overcome the achieve social distancing - which is still a requirement for phase 3.

Maybe Disney becomes a fast pass park for now. No standby lines, no fireworks, no parades. Limit capacity to onsite guests only. Disney is not going to the magical place it once for awhile.

OK, the fox news chyon was wrong.

Certainly wouldn't be the first time...

Trump just said some states could go to phase one tomorrow, already met criteria

As in, sure, they've already met criteria and are in good shape. Not that they're actually going to be able to.

But we dont know what "Social Distancing" will be when we get to phase 3.

Remember "Current CDC guidelines for social distancing WILL NOT be renewed and expire on April 30"

So really a new definition will have to be made for Phase 3 and we dont know what that will be yet.

We should know more tomorrow where Florida stands.

yeah three will need to be sone modified operations at least for a time.

Are you sure? That makes the most sense, but I didn’t think that’s what I heard. So if I drive to a neighboring state to fly out then I’m not quarantined? That also doesn’t make sense.

The passengers coming in flights from the hot spots will be asked to be in isolation for 14 days, no matter if you're coming from Wisconsin but flying out of JFK, you will be asked to isolate
The only exception is that if you arrive at MCO but are transferring to another flight to go to another state, then obviously you won't be asked since it's outside of Florida

Frontierland is very similar to Wyoming and Utah. Maybe that land can open??

I'm waiting for somebody on reddit to make a charrt of where every state stands in all of these gating criteria. I'm sure somebody is already working on it.

Yes the social distancing guidelines will change over time, give us plenty to speculate here

This might get lost here, but don’t forget the rights of PRIVATE employers. My firm, in early March before anything shut down, said that if any employee traveled outside of the state, they’d have to quarantine for 14 days before returning to work.

Thats also at play for people visiting Disney.

Maybe Disney becomes a fast pass park for now. No standby lines, no fireworks, no parades.

But even then you have the carpark trams/buses/monorail/boats/ticket queue to somehow socially distance even before you get into the parks. Then shops etc - do you have maximum capacities in shops? If so you may end up having to have queues a the way down mainstreet just to get into the shops. What about "attractions" without fast pass - how do you stop people gathering around the castle for example?

There have been no reports of any issues outside of earth so Batuu and Pandora are good.

No they wont. It is what it is. 6ft/2 meters apart.

 

[LSUmiss]

It is all voluntary either way, but to do a work around might not be the best thing for everyone. I wouldn't want to be the person who brought it from a hotspot to Florida or Disney unknowingly

Like a pp stated what they’re calling hotspots are very broad in terms of the policy. A pp lives in New York but not nyc so not the same. Our trip isn’t until July so I hope it’s better everywhere by then.

 

[MickeyWaffles]

But he also just said Phase 3 is when it looks like Disney will have no problem opening.

Did he actually say Disney, or is that your own inference? Your post implies that he did say Disney, but I did not hear the word Disney come out of his mouth. He was talking about sporting events.

Did he actually say something specifically about Disney?

 

[Spridell]

No they wont. It is what it is. 6ft/2 meters apart.

That ends on April 30

Cannot wait to visit Batuu again, my daughter really misses her boss, Hondo Ohnaka, working for his very legitimate business

I think by changing is how many people can be in one place. Changing it to 50 is the next step.

Then Disney has a lot of work to do and it's also why I don't see how they can open in July. Its going to take awhile to put measures in place.
