Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Mit88]

Pessimist in me wants to say July 1st-5th soft openings - July 6th open to the public.
Optimist in me says June 8th - 14th soft openings - June 15th open to the public

Disney is briefing their plan tomorrow, Wednesday May 27th.

Crossing fingers!!

Interesting that the official announcement says phased reopening of the theme parks, no mention of hotels...

this just made me want to hurl.

why are we like this

 

[jenjersnap]

Mini Golf and Typhoon Lagoon.

Legit fear.

Watched the Universal brief on this station last week.

Hopefully they show Disney’s as well. Do we have a time yet?

It says theme parks not resorts. Does that mean no resorts at first?

 

[MusicalAstronaut]

Yeah but if it is it will still be missing a lot of details people want to know like what specific rides, shows, etc will be closed and how they are going to manage capacity (both of which USO isn't go into details on)

It probably will be missing, since that's not necessary info for the task force. I'm sure we'll get it over the next few weeks (hopefully just weeks....) as we get closer to whatever the date is! If not, we'll learn on the DisBoards when the parks open & we all go there!

It doesn’t say no resorts, just isn’t specifically included. I wouldn’t read a lot into that. Pretty sure opening resorts is part of their plan.

The fact there isn't mention of hotels may be that details for resorts are released later, like Universal is doing and maybe they're waiting for the approval/announcement to do with CSR & NBA

The Gaylord Palms convention center is scheduled to reopen June 25. I don't have a link, the information was in a email I got for a postponed convention.

I highly doubt that will be the case. If I had to say no resorts or resorts only I would bet on resort guests only.

I'm guessing MK only with limited food options initially. Maybd MK resorts...? No parades or shows obviously.

I'm guessing this is a very rushed response to universal opening.

correct, it doesn't say that restrooms will be open either...

Universals weren’t included because Universal doesn’t own them. For once, let’s not over analyze every word.

We will find out tomorrow. Universal is doing it that way.

You’ll be so occupied by the hangover the next day you won’t even remember all the ways Disney crushed your soul for at least 24 hours...

I wish that were the case, I don't think there is enough alcohol or a strong enough hangover to numb the pain at this point. I almost wish they'd open just days after mine starts so I can just cancel my July trip and move to my November trip. I do have all the same ADRs now, it won't be as hot, if we are still wearing masks by then at least I won't die of heat stroke. My DH won't let me cancel it unless Disney isn't opening in time for our trip *sigh*. At this point I'm looking forward to bad news, as long as it's news, so I can move on (will still probably move on fairly drunk though).

Okay I feel better now!!
