Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[ENJDisneyFan]

Didn't get Survey, but here is my 2 cents:
For me it all comes down to their safety measures and then PRICE.

How committed am I to my current plans? Considering my plans are mid-June and I have no idea when they will be open, or if they will be open. I am committed UNTIL I know that.

What would make me considering keeping my vacation?
I am going to want a HUGE discount or incentives (current or future) to NOT cancel a full-priced vacation this summer if they are running with 'reduced experiences' and things are just going to be running "abnormally" due to all the extra safety precautions. Simple as that for me. I don't want to be paying full price and not be able to M&G characters, go on certain/rides shows, etc. Throw me a guaranteed boarding pass to Rise of the Resistance .. and that would go a LONG way.


If I feel they are taking enough safety measures WITHOUT disrupting the overall experience and give me some sort of incentive to go sooner than later, I'll go, otherwise I am happy to rebook for fall/winter (some date that is near 180 days out) and just "wait and see"

Couldn’t agree more.

We started to weigh into gloves, but that might have been the other thread

Oh boy, I can bring my epi pen for when I have an allergic reaction to either the latex or the powder inside a lot of the non-latex ones, seems like a discussion I can get behind lol

As someone with a June trip plan, I agree with you. I've really wondered how on earth they're going to manage the boarding group process for RotR (as in getting one) with social distancing measures in place.

if they do park reservations then they could alllow all with reservations to do boarding groups at opening regardless of if they are in the part or not.

What do you all think about the non WDW DVC resorts? Do you think they will have a chance of opening before WDW resorts?

No theme parks to mitigate? Is this on topic? I don’t know anymore.

FWIW....

I have reservations at Vero starting June 1st and made dining ressies at W&W at Vero for May 31st & June 2. The restaurant called me to cancel my May 31 ressie, but my June 2 ressie was not canceled. Personally, I think because of the small size of the resorts, the small occupancy and the limited dining, I think they will open before the WDW resorts. They're the perfect place to test any new procedures.

Many of the other resorts in Vero opened today or are opening over the weekend, which is promising for DVB.

Whether it’s private property or not is irrelevant. It’s perfectly fine if YOU choose not to go. It’s not fine if you try and tell someone else they can’t. Not all conditions that prevent you from wearing a mask put you at higher risk medically.

if Disney ever tried to block someone from entering based on their health, they should be sued. It’s illegal. You can’t violate someone’s rights, whether it’s temporary or not.

As a private business, I believe Disney can do what they want. Disney requires dress codes - and this is just a part of that now. We've all seen "No shirts, no shoes, no service". Masks could be added to that for a time.

Taken from an editorial in the San Antonio Express News:
"The 1964 Federal Civil Rights Act prohibits private businesses such as restaurants, hotels and stores from refusing to provide service based on race, color, religion or national origin. The Americans With Disabilities Act extends the anti-discrimination coverage to people with disabilities.

Dress codes are an entirely different matter. Allowing customers to enter only if they are wearing masks is within a private business owner’s authority. A businesses has the right to impose its own dress code as long it’s not discriminatory and is applied across the board. And this is a requirement that could keep help keep employees and customers safe."

My guess IRT the resorts, they may not open them all at once but they will open all the WDW DVCs whenever they first open resorts since they run into issues with points leaving them closed longer than they need to be and I’m guessing additional issues leaving some closed and some open. The rest of the DVCs I’m guessing depend on the area they’re in.

If they do not open some resorts immediately, I’m guessing it’s due to demand and they will be part of a longer shut down, not as part of a phased opening. If that makes sense. At this point I would think we would know if they are planning the rumoured MK resort only thing (or anything of that nature).

The site that must not be named said WDW is only taking reservations starting July 1st.

I just read that too

 

[shoreward]

I can see a reduction in the number of senior guests and those with underlying medical issues, until there is less risk. WDW has a fair number of older guests, especially during off-peak times, who will not be willing to possibly jeopardize
their wellbeing for a visit to Disney.

Uh oh. Buckle up.

This thread is fixing to blow up If true. At least it will be on-topic.

FWIW, I rescheduled a May trip for mid-June two days ago without issue.

I've been around here for so long and wonder if I'm the only one who doesn't have a clue what The Site That Cannot Be Named is and what are they allowing booking of?

 

[DGsAtBLT]

Is this not exactly what happened with DLR? Rumblings that bookings were being stopped for June?

I swear that might have just happened yesterday but my concept of time has gone out the window.

 

[tidefan]

Uh oh. Buckle up.

Just checked our DVC site, they are allowing booking still on June 1. The release didn't say that they were cancelling existing bookings (yet), just that new reservations would be now from July 1. I wonder if they do open in a limited capacity, maybe they think that they reached it between DVC and what has already been booked...

It is exactly like DLR.

I didn't know either but just found it.

Lol...yah. I do know how to Google.

Site still says June 1
