Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

But does WDW have that option? I’m thinking of rides like Pirates and Space Mountain where the ride exits into the gift shop and I don’t know if there is an alternate exit.

In the video it sounded to me that they might be opening up some exits that are not typically open to guests to use in order to help disperse people and avoid bottlenecks. I think WDW would probably do the same in some places if it is possible. I think there might be a period of time where guests are exposed to some of the less magical offstage walkways and exits, etc to help spread people up.

I’d be shocked if they didn’t. You’d want an option to do work in the gift shop without closing the rude.

I'd imagine there are emergency exits to most rides that people may not have even noticed that they could use.

I know people were worried about what the shops would look like and I’m happy they kept everything normal.

I know most everyone thinks they need to limit attendance in some way, but I don’t see a need to do that at all. They wont open without the staffing and that won’t be as big of an issue as people are making it out to be. It is the last thing Disney would want to do.

Is there any update on this? I'm still intrigued how this will work.

The post you quoted is almost a month old. Chapek made it clear attendance will be limited a few days ago.

Not quite Floridia, but Sesame Place finally sent AP holders their handling process. It’s absurd. No extension and no refund. They’ve been charging people on the monthly plan this whole time. They’re going to give “Sesame Cash” of an undisclosed amount to use in the park this year (no opening ETA) and an upgrade of your pass to the next tier.

But they are owned by sea world.

I saw this I have been an AP holder for 5 years and this year we skipped and figured would buy in March if we wanted it... I’m pretty happy I skipped it this year.

But this is ridiculous and people are letting them know it on social media!

Haha, I think perhaps they were trying to make a point.

I know someone who flew from NY to Orlando last week and they had to fill out forms on the plane with all their info and had to say they would quarantine for two weeks

1 person on the plane was refusing to fill out the form and they were not allowed off the plane. My friend doesn’t know what happened since they were off.

Edit: Dont remember if it was Orlando airport now, was Florida though. Will update when I find out exact airport. I believe its all of Florida anyway though from NY

Yes, it's all flights from Ny, Nj, Ct and La arriving anywhere in Florida, it's an executive order

Checking this thread every twelve seconds for those schedules lol

Jet Blue is the only press release I’ve read and they are still offering water and snacks. Not sure about other airlines.

Southwest suspended snacks & beverages in March.

We might be more invested in your schedule than you are at this point.

I don’t want to be rude, but isn’t your daughter the CM? Does she know you’re updating the boards with HUB/seemingly internal info? I used to be a CM and have people in my immediate family that are and I wouldn’t want to risk anyone getting in trouble.

I hate the maskthing for a couple reasons: I’m being judged no matter what I do. When I wasn’t wearing a mask I was getting dirty looks by people who were, now that I have to wear one at work we are getting the dirty looks from non mask wearers. My gripe is that it speaks to the idea this is more politically fueled and perception related and not so much health related.

Secondly, most masks I see are basically scarfs. If it’s not a medical grade mask, microscopic pathogens are a lot smaller than a normal fabric and it’s useless. Again, it goes back to perception over real impact.

With that being said I have a trip in June and will be wearing a mask where required, it’s all just so backwards though.

We wore masks to pick up donuts this morning, and my nine year old kept fooling with hers because it kept falling down. I am struggling to find one that fits her properly, even the ones that are for kids. I kept cringing every time she touched it... fortunately it was outside only and there was nothing for her to touch. But this is why we don’t go many places and why Disney, until it’s safer and without masks, just isn’t an option for us. I just picture her touching everything at Disneyland and then constantly adjusting her porous cloth mask. Talk about cross contamination

Someone above mentioned people being angry about masks... I’m not angry. I accept it, I don’t agree that they are that helpful, but it doesn’t make me angry. We wear them to go to the places we have to go, the rest, for us, will just have to wait!

Everything I'm sharing i can. I wouldn't share anything that would get her in trouble.
Sharing a schedule is fine

Okay. Thought I saw you share a letter sent to CMs before.

there are those of us who really do appreciate everything you share and its actually very obvious that what you are sharing is stuff that CAN be shared and not stuff that should not be shared

I wish we knew what was going on behind the scenes with the plans for reopening. Then again, this isn’t the first time I’ve felt “left out of the loop” with Disney by a long shot. They don’t owe me anything, but I’d still like to know!
