Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Well there are two types of cabins - there are the cabins are fort wilderness, and then the lakeside cabins at wilderness lodge

Sorry for not clarifying- I mean the Ft. Wilderness cabins. There are quite a few reports of moves there at the moment

Apparently WDW has a lot more things named cabin than my woke up an hour ago mind can think of You guys are fast.

I’d love to get pixie dust for that cabin . I wonder if you could split it with another family?

It sleeps 8 guests I believe...I had some extra points last year and booked 2 nights for my son and his family. They said it was amazing!

Pixidust.be reports about an article in Le Parisien yesterday about the possible measures at Disneyland Paris which are on the table. Not confirmed yet by DLP and no reopening date. Other French parks will open next week. I say nothing very spectacular, except for the additional photo locations is a surprising one (DLP didn't have magic shots until recently, last summer they started testing). I take it the 2.450 desinfectant points are for the entire resort, including Disney Village and the hotels.

• Guests are required to wear face masks from 9 or 11 years old
• Reduced capacity in the attractions
• Visual inspection of security systems at attractions
• Empty seats between the visitors and families
• Limited or no shows
• No contact with Disney characters
• Disney characters are present but at a sufficient distance
• Additional photo locations with decorative elements and Magic Shots where Disney characters are added digitally
• 2450 points to disinfect hands
• Temporarily closed toilets during the day for a thorough cleaning
• Increased cleaning of door handles, elevator knobs, trash cans, stairs, queues, …
• 2 new security points will be installed when you come from the car park and station. This will increases the security tents from 18 to 24.
• In hotels, various activities will not be available such as swimming pools, children’s corners, fitness, billiards, …

These measures will be discussed with unions and management this week, after which we will probably know a reopening date soon if an agreement has been reached on all measures.

It's nice to see more park entry security points. When we were there last summer what they had was clearly not enough, and it was during a 10 period of rain with lower crowd levels. As for characters were saw very few (but could have been because of rain), but more opportunity for photo placement works.

Same here, that was another surprise. When it's really busy it can take 15-30 minutes to get through security.
I wonder if they will re-use the photo opps they had for the 25th birthday, or if there will be new ones.

I don’t think anyone is getting pixie dust moved to a WL cabin or a Poly bungalow. Those things cost more points for a night than most people have for a year. Lol

I’m not so sure about that. When I rescheduled my June Pop reservation to Sept I asked for the cheapest option and was told FW cabins over the DVC club levels.

FW Cabins are different than the fancy cabins that WL has. My bad for not being clearer earlier!

FW cabins are not the same thing as CCV’s Cascade Cabins. It’s entirely possible that some guests are being moved to the Cascade Cabins, but they are likely to be someone being moved from a club level room. or high-level suite at a closed resort

Eventually.

Where is Remy? He’s been awfully quiet lately.

Comeback Remy. Tell us something! Anything!!!

I would love to know if they will let people leave the park and come back in later in the day. We are afternoon break type of people and that is one of the main reason we stay at BWV. If we can't do that this time then we might just change over to AKV and add an extra night for the same amount of points

I feel like they will, as long as you have a valid reservation for that park I don't see why you can't enter and exit freely once you've made your initial entry.

Can you imagine trying to be the person at Disney with the clicker counting people in and people out like at the grocery store!! I know they have a better system but the thought cracks me up!

I agree. They have no incentive to deny re-entry. People who come back in are likely to buy more food or merchandise.

Sorry in advance if this has recently been discussed, I haven't been on here in a few days to read posts. Has anyone with an existing room only reservation or DVC reservation heard at all if they would be able to buy tickets with their room only reservation? Or is it still new ticket sales will resume after existing ticket holders and Annual Passholders make reservations before new tickets are sold?
I cancelled my June trip once I heard they wouldn't be opening before they were allowing modifications to be made. I'm considering renting DVC points from a friend for late July, but curious if we would even be able to have access to the parks without tickets or an AP?

Back in the old, old days, they stamped the back of your hand when you exited. and you showed the stamp when you re-entered. Of course, that also goes back to when they used paper tickets that they stamped with the date when you used them.

I don't think anything like that has been communicated, but if you really want to go, check your local grocery stores. My local Kroger still has 3-day tickets.
