Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Bibbobboo2u]

have any cast members tested positive? very cautious with them - have provided them masks and temp check devices

Had a reservation for Aug 5th to the 15th, I hate to cancel but not going and spending all that money when its already not sounding like a good time

 

[Bibbobboo2u]

cruise line reopening - no answer - just that under govt mandate now

 

[SaintsManiac]

I love that they sent CMs thermometers and masks already. Nice move.

Cruise business last to come online..... (in comparison to the other avenues of business in-person entertainment)

Edit: Disney confirms desire to host NBA, and "some hotels will be open" in context I think to the capacity/ "NBA bubble"

 

[Bibbobboo2u]

NBA question - would be excited to have at WDW, but of course no actual answer. Risk question about having them onsite. Said some hotels will not be re-opening??????

Chapek speaks, but doesn’t actually say much. lol!

ooooooooo. He just said

plenty of hotels that will not open

 

[Krandor]

Some hotels will NOT reopen. Chapek just said.

Well, other than the date, this really didn't get any more information to help making a decision on to keep our trip or not.

And to me it feels like the rumors are true & they were blind-sided by UO. The vagueness in their presentation seems like the basics of what they already knew. I also think they have had that date in mind for some time & were playing the rolling cancellations game which is disappointing that they were stringing guests along. But at least we have a date now even if it’s mostly thanks to UO & Seaworld.

Chapek is getting a lot of fluff answers. Very tight lips still with the details. UGH.

Where was that stated?

More CNBC with Chapek....

NBA?
- we would be very excited to have NBA and MLS play out the balance of their seasons however they see fit at WDW. fans are anxious to get back to sports and if we can be entrusted to make that happen we would be more than glad to do so.

is there a risk related to that?
- we have ample space as you know. this is a very big property. the real constraint is density. as long as we don't butt up against that density issue we'll be ok. we have plenty of hotels to reopen and plenty of hotels will not be reopened to help with that density issue.

I wouldn't be surprised if they waited to open because they want to open Disneyland at the same time.

I thought the same thing. That would be awesome!

Interesting. GF is now showing no availability until the beginning of October.

That Hotel line was the most interesting in this huge fluff piece with weak questions.

 

[LSUmiss]

Thats how I feel. My check in is July 17th. I have FP's chosen, is that my reservations? Will the resorts even be open???

Me too. I check in 7/12 & have FPs & ADRs.
