Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[gottalovepluto]

There are many senior citizens who are in better shape/health then allot of younger people. They take excellent care of themselves and have zero risk factors. No reason they shouldn’t participate. Life doesn’t need to be put on hold if you are healthy, you simply follow the same requirements as anyone else would.

A vaccine may never happen, it never has for aids or SARs . Yet life goes on and those who need to moderate themselves.

And Univ won’t stop them. But now they/their heirs can’t turn around and say they weren’t warned if something goes wrong.

There's been mild ones regarding their usefulness and also sweaty children in Florida heat.

Mostly I think people don't feel as strongly about them due to the mostly non invasive and not too annoying process on the "at your own risk" side, and the "stricter measures" side realizes how many contagious individuals wouldn't have a fever anyways.

I think a lot of people also felt like there was little to no chance of temperature checks for US parks so it tempered that debate a bit. Time to rev it back up!

Seniors by AARP definition are anyone 55 years old or older. Many of those Seniors still work full time and will for many years to come.

As far as the over 80 crowd.. if they are physically up for a theme park vacation - I say go for it! And enjoy.

It’s also a month if not more from when parks open. Things could be different by then.

This was in the DVC thread. Anyone know?

Last I heard they "CDC" were still recommending coughing and sneezing into your elbow

Yes....that is what they “CDC” have always recommended....hopefully everyone did that already!

Ok sorry my bad

Of course they could - everything changes nearly every day with this- but we now know it is a requirement for Citywalk opening this week so it is clearly something Universal has on the table for the parks as well.

Truthfully I don’t actually want to rev up the debate at all - if it’s a rule, it’s a rule, if it’s not, it’s not. I just thought it was funny that just when we seemed to reach peak mask debate exhaustion something new gets thrown back in the mix.

Interestingly, this does include the Universal Studios Store in CW, which is owned and operated by Universal Parks & Resorts. That's different than DS, which (as of now) will not be operating World of Disney or any other Disney-owned locations.

So I actually worked in the Universal Studio Store in Hollywood in college. That store and the one in FL are not in the Parks union (and a few other stores on Citywalk). Not sure if that has anything to do with that store opening vs. say World of Disney in DS that are apart of the union.

Cant have that type of competition in the type of situation we’re in. It’s unfortunate for those kids, but I don’t think this means anything in terms of Disney opening up.Especially if the NBA decides to use their WWoS facilities to finish the season, which seems more of a possibility now that Los Angeles extended their stay at home orders by 3 months

LA expects it to be extended. It hasn’t actually been extended. Look for actual info at their weekly briefing tomorrow.

I bet this is true. I can’t imagine most parents want their kids coming to a competition with kids from all over the country. You can manage your immediate family members much better than you can manage your kids in a large competition situation where kids are everywhere.

They seem pretty confident “with all certainty” is the quote.
