Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

It appears that even though nonessential travel can resume, NY, NJ, CT, and LA residents still have to quarantine.

Should help out with their bar areas and their retail shops.

But I would bet Disney will stay on the cautious side and still limit for the time being.

agree, 6 foot spacing alone will limit capacity in the restaurants even though they could take 100%

Gov sounded like he would lift that fairly soon

I dont believe certain levels of Aps would be effected as it would likely be one of the "perks". Lower level Ap holders would likely be able to pay extra for the benefit. As Disney says in their contracts for APs and DVC owners, all entry to the parks and benefits are subject to change or modification. As a DVC member you pay for access to the resorts, not the parks. Access to parks is ticket or pass based, so they can easily change things up under a new normal to ensure they dont have to shut down again in the case of another scare. And honestly it is smart of them to make changes they had been considering now.

So for gold ap holders like me, we’d probably be restricted. Regardless, since we’ve been members for 20 years to change it now after a couple of decades would still be a deal breaker.

At some point, he’ll have to, but I’m surprised that he didn’t lift it with non-essential travel resuming. He seems to really want to keep it for the time being.

how can you open concert halls at 50 percent but gatherings are only 50 people? What if the capacity is 2000??

Considering the cases for each the other day were NY 1100 and Florida 900 he should stop acting like any of these places are any worse off that this would need to stay. It’s not that important to lift this moment but by July 1st I have no doubt it’ll be gone unless of course these protests cause a big spike which is definitely possible.

Part of me wants to complain about the flood of ADR cancellation emails today because it’s making me sad and the other part of me is like “finally! Communication!”

he sounded like he wants to lift it pretty soon. I think he will wait until Phase 2 is a go for ALL counties. July 1 ish.....

So far today, the cases of new positives in NY is at 912 and FL is at 1317. I think continuing to restrict anyone from any other state needs to go away.

Right! They are certainly flooding in, but like you said at least it is some form of communication. I feel like I've been forgotten so at least I'm receiving something.

It looks like they are probably going to allow some fans at the NASCAR race in Homestead on June 13th, 14th. Will be interesting to see how they do that.

My take from listening to the news conference, that 50 people number has some leeway.

He did say weddings and such can have larger numbers as long as social distancing is adhered to.

The joy of not caring for sit down dining anymore is I don’t have to see that. The few other things we had, we self cancelled.

 

[Dsny4fun]

There is a version of the plan that would have no FPs in advance at all.

I'm actually ok with that....it's the park hoppers I don't want to give up

Groups of up to 50 would need to be separated lol. Overall the idea is those arriving as a group seat together and then space between each of the groups

I’m up to 9 ADR cancellation emails today, and with each one, my heart sinks a little thinking it’s going to be Disney cancelling my 7/18 trip.

Lightsaber cancelled. Sad day. Anyone who's done David's,. Do you think the experience will be available late Aug. It looks like distancing fairly good in there.

I'm hoping once we can get park reservations they'll open up the other reservations.
