Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[tinkerhon]

May as well get over the mask anger. Its a requirement whether people like it or not and it can be deabted all day and it doesn't matter what your opinion is. Don't like the policy. Don't go.

Just speaking for myself - not angry - upset - not angry, and I understand the concern - but, on a lounge chair, by the pool?
Thats a little much - just my opinion
Only because the pool deck SHOULD be an easy place to social distance, and is obviously outdoors, so would think the mask requirement would be relaxed at least by the pool deck

I think it's also to help with bus availability, otherwise you could be waiting a REALLY long time for a bus with the distancing in place.

Very true!

Interesting that AP holders tell a CM their status. I’ve had a pass more years than I care to admit to and not once mentioned it to a CM. Maybe I’m just old school

The only time I mention it is to get my merchandise or dining discounts, and if a location doesn’t honor it, it’s no big deal. I would rather just ask than have to go through screens on the website to find out. I would never take it out on a CM, who has zero input into that decision in the first place. That’s just rude!

 

[TakesFaithTrust&PixieDust]

Some people use it as a sort of "don't you know who I am" card.

I can see how some would think that. I think having a CM in our household has made me appreciate all the hard work they do for their guests. I know I couldn’t deal with guests all day and be pleasant.

Ive been a passholder in the parks 6 whole days, but this is what I’ve done too. In my 6 day experience......

??? Almost every single person had their masks on and properly at that. I saw only 1 without and 1 whole had it on wrong.

I watched a live stream of the reopening and also 2 live streams since then. Masks off all over and basically no social distancing in lines at all (there were markings but people ignored). Just saying it's OK to take a break from the mask outside if you go by Shanghai.

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

so it looks like this
MK 9am to 7pm
Epcot 11am to 9pm
DHS 10am to 8pm
AK 8am to 6pm

RIP my beautiful fastpass plans

Bodes well for EP restaurants

That's what I was thinking - gives people something to do during the evening - if Epcot happened to be their scheduled park that day.

Oh man, I imagine for some people that's going to be so hard, not to be able to hop over to Epcot for dinner. God I hope they don't do away with hopping for the long haul.
I'm sure they won't...

I bet it starts with “I paid hundreds of dollars for my pass so I deserve .....”

I find it very hard to believe that a large majority even remotely think this. Lets try not to throw everyone under the bus just cause of a few nimrods.

Yeah. You and me both. Bleh.

I mention it all the time I feel like lol. every time I’m buying merchandise or eating so I don’t miss out on my discount. I do a lot of both (I don’t get mad if there’s no discount though, that’s just wrong!)

 

[Mit88]

I wont even go over to the AP turnstiles when I go to the parks. For the most part, ive been there enough times to know what I have and what I can get with an AP, or with my DVC card. Typically I’m just happy to be there, in the parks, in the resorts. Never felt entitled to anything more than what I’m paying for. I’ll only refer to myself as an AP or DVC member if I’m asked. Like if a CM working at a merch stand asks if I have any discounts ill say I’m an Annual Passholder and hand my card to them. But I’ve seen many people flaunt their status just walking by in the parks

You don't read Facebook.

With limited capacity what would you think of all rides on fp only and/or virtual queue so they can do return times and manage crowds. No stand by

 

[WonderlandisReality]

I guess I am just wondering that if you have a park hopper + water park tickets and water parks aren’t open and you can’t hop are they going to refund that up charge?

 

[JacknSally]

so it looks like this
MK 9am to 7pm
Epcot 11am to 9pm
DHS 10am to 8pm
AK 8am to 6pm

I am pretty sure these were the park hours of my youth LOL. Comin' full circle now!

As luck would have it...I don't. Perhaps that's a good thing...heh!

I would imagine they could only do it for a certain number of rides. They’d have to give people options while they wait rather than stores or crowding the streets. So E Ticket rides they could do VQ/FP and have smaller rides with standby

I can’t believe so many people have never heard the term p***holes.

I have, but from what I’ve gathered its more of a DL term than WDW
