Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Why prepackaged food? If they are testing employees, using stringent cleaning practices, workers wearing gloves/masks why on earth can't they cook food to order?

Same with housekeeping. It makes no sense! They are CLEANING for goodness sake. Again, have them wear a mask and gloves while cleaning.

A lot of this, if it comes to fruition, is really just placating those who are nervous to travel. Some of it seems just for show and isn't necessary.

Ugh. Hotels with barely any food, no pool, no gift shops, no bars...sound so fun.

Can’t open a resort without feeding the guests, but I won’t be surprised if that looks a lot different than it did beforehand at first.

My guess is selection is very limited, resorts with multiple spots may have locations closed, and dining areas are heavily modified and cleaned better with people being encouraged to eat in their rooms.

I think within the resorts, especially the Deluxe resorts, Disney's going to have a harder time limiting things too greatly without it negatively affecting guest experience. I feel like people will be understanding of park limitations, but they still are going to expect something of value from their resort, especially ones that are hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

I don't agree. Its the world we live in now. This would be the new normal.

I don't agree. There is a new normal and there is just being ridiculous.

You can social distance in a restaurant.

Nah. I get takeout once a week and it’s not pre-packaged food. It’s all going to be fine in its own time.

Prepackaged is fast. Gets people in and out quicker. I don’t think that’s necessarily how it will be, my guess is limited menu, but I don’t think it’s completely out of the question.

The rumoured housekeeping thing I think is not for show. Less exposure for the CMs to possibly contaminated surfaces, less chance for them to transfer germs from room to room, I don’t think it’s realistic to think they can completely decontaminate themselves and their gear from room to room.

Nothing would really surprise me at this point.

I've been gone two hours and just read the posts again. I'm glad we are no longer talking about movie theaters.

Sorry, I think that's just getting crazy. Then there should be no one working at the hotels or parks. I mean, maybe someone with something touched something somewhere.

i agree. People act like this virus is going to jump out at them every where they go

That’s fine. Not too long ago the rumours we’ve pretty much accepted as gospel around here seemed insane too.

I’m team anything is possible.

Sure they can clean. But how would they change the bed and pick up all the towels without it touching their arms or clothes. And you'd have them change clothes before going into the next room?

I just hate to see Disney and elsewhere give in to some of the irrational fears that some people have.

That's a chance as a customer I would be willing to take.

What about the park CMs? What will they do? What if they touch a railing, touch another railing, then I touch that railing and then someone touches me....

We can be safe without being paranoid.

I saw the same notice but then when I refreshed it it was gone!
So weird!
But I got a screen shot!

I don't think it's fair to call them irrational fears, when these are the very things being discussed by pretty much every health authority world wide. Instead, what we're seeing is what was also discussed and predicted by those same people: strict measures worked, so now we're getting the whole "We overreacted" comments.

Here is the way I see it. Food courts will be open but with physical distancing and everything will be made to order. I doubt you will see anything premade unless it's prepackaged.

 

[goofystitch]

I think this will all play out in the next couple of weeks. We will see how some states are doing when they open up some businesses. Have you not gone to a grocery store? There are people everywhere but I think now everyone is conscious of social distancing and hand sanitizing, etc. I am confident that Disney will do the right thing. And, as others have said, don't go if you don't feel safe.

I really hope another change will be the daily room checks. If we opt out of mousekeeping, the last thing I want are people going from room to room & then entering ours.
Quite frankly, I don’t want anyone else in our room - particularly after I disinfect it as best I can.

I don’t see the daily checks disappearing, maybe they modify them somehow. We all know why they were put into place and this threat hasn’t gotten rid of that threat.

Well then we agree! I think they will be open with markers on the floors and people will still be able to order what they want and have it made then and there.

I think there will be restaurants open and they will have worked out social distancing between the tables. They may be harder to get into as reservations may be limited to keep down the number of people in at once.
