Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[DGsAtBLT]

not only that but they would need to have CM stationed at each bus stop at DS to check MB and make sure people boarding the buses are actually staying in that resort.
I am keeping an eye out for dining reservations but if those don't open up I will be trying to board a bus at DS to the resorts once they reopen on the 22nd

My money is on your success, lol. I don’t see them checking each person boarding the buses (and the inevitable arguments starting) but stranger things have happened.

For the ppl who think Disney’s current lack of communication is acceptable, do you have trips booked within the next 30 days? Genuinely curious. Maybe I’m being unreasonable, but it feels like those of us who are the most frustrated are the ones who are being most affected by it.

31 days here. I don't mind 1, because it is my 10th time on property; 2, because I am staying at one of the DVC properties; 3, we don't have children with us this time.

Mostly because I don't have any expectations, we do have 2 day park hoppers but if for some reason we aren't able to make themepark reservations...oh well. We will come back later, as we have many unused points. It will disappoint me some, since it is my in laws first time there, it is what it is. We are not in the position to change Disney so getting upset, and frustrated doesn't do anything but make the built up to the vacation unenjoyable, and for me that is an element of the vacation I enjoy.

Thoughts on whether you will get an automatic refund for park hopper tickets or if you will need to request it?

If they dont allow parkhopping and you purchased that the refund would be automatic.

Only talking about regular tickets or package tickets not annual passes.

If they finally give information on park hoppers and say they will not be valid I'd assume it will be auto refund just like the dining plans.

I would like to know this too

Someone replied to my post on masks in another thread with this:

One of the WDW mods reported that gaiters have been seen on guests in Disney Springs since it reopened. No one has stopped those guests and no one has reported any issues so far. It appears that Disney's specifications on masks/face coverings is to prevent guests from showing up in face shields only or other types of homemade type coverings that leave gaps on the sides of the face and below the chin.
Personally, I would bring a variety of masks and gaiters for a WDW trip, just so I could keep changing them out according to weather conditions and comfort/discomfort level. So far, even in a/c, I haven't yet found one type of mask that is comfortable every time.

Someone replied to my post on masks in another thread with this:

The post below from earlier in this thread also addresses this issue -- it was answering a question about the necessity of ear loops and ties vs. gaiters.

lots of all different type of face coverings at DS, as long as your mouth and nose are covered you are fine

I still haven't got my dining plan refund.

I think it's time you call.

I see that Universal allows the gaiter masks, but now I'm reading reports that Disney (at DS obviously) isn't allowing that type of mask? Only masks with ear loops? So no gaiters, bandanas, etc.

Anyone know if that's true? Just curious if they really are being that strict about masks.

I've been to DS with a gaiter recently. No one gave me a problem there.

Just some magic for the thread.

Just had an interesting experience with temp check. DS summer camp checks temp on the way in. Today is the first day that we have had really hot & humid weather this summer. It’s 88 degrees at 10:30am. It has been unseasonably cooler til today. Well today he clocked in at 100.9. At home he was fine & didn’t feel warm at all. We brought him in & cooled him down inside & he was 97.6. So, temp checks in the summer in wdw probably will not work unless they are using some much better technology.

I want to see it so badly. I do not think the pink is ugly. I love it!

It reminds me of the castle at Disneyland. I think it’s going to look great. Can’t wait to walk down Main Street.
We have a Sept trip. I’m anxiously awaiting news but not panicked. I feel for all of you that have July reservations. I’m not sure I’d be able to hold out.

We check in 7/17. All I know for sure is that we are flying to Orlando. I have a Disney reservation and an offsite reservation. What is stressing me out is our APs. I need to know if I am going to argue for a refund but I can't know that until Disney provides more information. If I am going to argue for a refund then I won't go to Disney this trip. I am also DVC but luckily I canceled our points reservation and am now on a cash reservation. I will have DVC points to use next year so that could also impact our APs. For people not on straight package bookings it is not as simple as just not going. If Disney doesn't get their act together we will stay offsite and do different things. I am not upset by this but it also isn't non-stressful.

Went to Disney springs yesterday. Bandanas on the face were not let in. Gaiters were accepted. We saw 2 people turned away.

Think we can wear these?

From what I've been watching it's already been hot/humid in Florida and there doesn't seem to be many temp check complaints at all the open spots.

In fact I've not seen any.

58 days here until my WDW honeymoon. It is beyond stressful but I’d prefer them to take their time and do it right the first time, instead of rushing and giving out half-correct information. Or even worse, I see the stitch ate this page that I loath so much.

We were supposed to go to Hawaii for the first week of our honeymoon and then WDW for a week, but we don’t even know if Hawaii will drop the 14 day quarantine requirement by then. So our hands are tied and we are just rolling with it.

Trust me, I don’t “roll with it” ever, but as a 2020 bride it’s the only way to keep some semblance of sanity.

My sister is getting married in August. We joke that for the rest of her life when she tells someone she got married in 2020 - they’ll say “ooh” all apologetic. Congratulations and I hope all you’re plans are able to work out.

Does that thing have air conditioning in it? If so, I am sold.
