Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I didn’t realize that. Perhaps I should go back and inactivate some.

Yes, definitely inactivate the ones you’re not using. Will save you from issues down the road.

Doesn't sound like they're dead to me.

First time they’ve hit capacity so far. There have been more empty days so far. Maybe that’s just the way Universal is. They don’t draw the consistent crowds that Disney World does.

Or maybe it just took a week or so to get up to speed. Who knows, but they weren't empty.

I got surveyed for my zip code at Volcano Bay & City Walk today, so they’re definitely tracking if it’s locals or travelers (or tracking covid. Or both). For the first time in forever we were not surveyed at Disney Springs.

If you go into MDE it tells you how many you can have active. So I just deactivate my old ones I know I’m not traveling with.

I think the CDC will provide limits and protocols for the initial sailings in August. I see very limited capacity and shorter duration cruises (2-4 day).

I don't see any cruises sailing in August. There are 10's of thousands of crew members that are still waiting to repatriate. It wouldn't make sense to send all of these people home and then turn right around and then have a brand new staff board. Also, the DCL performers are unable to practice

I feel like DCL would sail without performers.

The cuts they’re undoubtedly going to make with early cruises is one of the major reasons I’m sure we won’t cruise even if they open back up in time.

This thread isn’t for DCL, so not delving too deep, but the cuts they’re undoubtedly going to make with early cruises is one of the major reasons I’m sure we won’t cruise even if they open back up in time.

It says Cruise in the thread title!!

With the recent uptick in cases could Disney delay opening the parks?

LOL I thought I was on another thread! It’s late, that’s my only excuse! I’ll fix the silliness in my post.

I was wondering how closely Disney is watching this and the numbers and hospitalizations in Texas and other states and if they have an internal warning system where they reevaluate the situation if X,Y or Z happens.

Maybe it's just me but I really don't think the parks will be so full that resort guests won't be able to get in if they reserve days when the reservation system opens. Universal's crowds are, well... not even crowds. While I think Disney will bring in more visitors, I just don't foresee a sold out situation to those with existing reservations. I could be wrong.

To say that there is not crowds at universal is not 100% accurate.
today V bay was at capacity early in the day and all the restaurants that I try to eat at 6:00 pm at city walk had 50 min wait time .
I have pic of how was island today but don’t know how to post them but anyways.
I can imagine Disney not Sold out for the first few weeks.

My question as well. Financially it’ll be a disaster so odds are very slim, but with Florida posting new cases daily of 2500+ at what point do they pull the plug for the remainder of 2020.

Well it looks as though foreign tourism is a bust for the foreseeable future as Fauci has come out and said that it may not return until there is a vaccine

They probably planned for this, since it was predicted that reopening early would lead to a rise in cases, and also economists said this could mean it might take longer for full economic recovery since people might be more reluctant to travel/dine out/etc.

I think it is more likely at this point that they will reopen as planned, but they might be a lot slower on lifting restrictions on events/fireworks/parades/restaurants/resorts etc.

Realistically I never expected that the travel ban for Europeans will be lifted before 1st Sept 2020.

I wish it would ....

In my province, we've had no new cases daily for weeks (months?) and are basically fully reopened. But lifting travel restrictions (without a 14 day isolation period on return)? Not going to happen.

 

[koszmok]

At some point when the country which you would come from has lover or no infection makes sense to lift travel restrictions. But until I agree it won`t happen.
