Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Right, but I think people need to be prepared for their 180 day ADRs not getting them into the parks.

Agree. Hope for the best, but always have a plan B.

The difference is that at the parks Disney knows the amount of people that have adr for a day, they can count them as part of their capacity before the park opens
At ds there's no way to know in advance how many people have reservation because most sit downs are 3rd party, it's also hard to predict capacity cause DS is free to go to

Was this discussed already? Most likely, I'm sure I missed it! Basically - you are taking your life into your own hands!!! (i may or may not be paraphrasing)

We'll see. No guarantee that all TS is even going to be open.

I'm at plan Q at this point...

one would assume that 14 day quarantine would be lifted as FL moves into Phase 2.

Or perhaps as those states move to phase 2.

I don't think the two situations are correlated at all. The Disney Springs statement was made because there is limited garage space. There will not be an issue with parking at the parks. The bigger issue will be losing ADRs because restaurants have to cut capacity. That will probably need to happen.

Between the Moderna and Oxford vaccine trial news today, maybe we can all cross our white gloved fingers that this nightmare will be over by early next year and the new normal will be back to the normal normal in regards to the theme park operations.

That’s Hawaii. I believe they’re arresting anyone that’s disobeying SAHO’s, not just a select few from hotspot states. It’s much tougher to enforce it while trying to guess where people are from. They can watch my social media all they want, I don’t post about during my trips, or at all, neither does my girlfriend. And if just one person is skating around the mandate, it becomes pointless.

If it’s still a mandate when I go on my trip, I’ll just simply drive down and leave my car at my sisters house in MD and fly out and in there. Which also makes the mandate useless because I’m coming from NY but using a loophole to get around their mandate

The airline still knows where you live. The Florida government could still get the manifest from the airline and intercept people that way.

I wouldn't put myself in a position where I was trying to circumvent a government rule. There are a lot of bad things that could come out of that.

I have friends that literally just landed in Tampa (from Albany) and they said they filled out forms, which no one collected, and the airport workers said “they’re not even really doing that anymore”.

They’re not checking people’s IDs coming off the plane. They’re only making people fill out forms coming off of planes that either came directly from the states part of the policy, or ones that connected in those states.

Not necessarily. In Florida’s reopening plan it says that in phase 2 vacation rentals to states or areas with high community spread should not be allowed. It also says that vacation rentals should be limited to Florida residents. Under those rules I don’t see how Disney World would open in Phase 2. It just wouldn’t be profitable with only Florida residents.

Now the governor could change the specific recommendations, but if he doesn’t I don’t think Disney World would open until Phase 3, which could be a while.

loop hole being vacation rentals....resorts are not vaca rentals. I think it is lifted when they open...still thinking mid/late June to early July.

Disney world resort hotels are not vacation rentals, this is specifically talking about places like airbnb and other rental companies/individuals.

So to steer this back to the actual thread topic - the plans for reopening - i know they could be submitted starting today but is there any reason why they would delay that?

If I was Disney I would wait until the last possible minute. Once the submit a plan for reopening and/or a date for reopening it will likely get leaked.

Internal plans we don't know about, union stuff, politics, optics, waiting on more data, sourcing supplies, maintenance issues that may have popped up, finalizing of procedures, still figuring out the capacity/profitability analysis with the new social distancing stuff, waiting on final approvals from PR and legal, getting a dozen press releases in order... a whole host of reasons. They know that as soon as a plan is in people will get access to the information, so I'm sure Disney wants every single duck in a row before they say a peep.
