Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Marissa227]

Has anyone received any updates on their Disney face masks purchase? I ordered mine for June 15. Still haven't received any updates from Disney.

I am sure they will be arriving SOON , but curious if anyone has heard anything else?

I got an e-mail that my size Small masks were shipping! I ordered a set of Medium for myself and Large for my DH, nothing on them yet. But at least one set is on its way!

Once you have arrived and you're all settled. Send one or two people in an Uber to the closest grocery store. My guess is that the Uber will not cost as much as the delivery charge, Tip and food up change.

We usually cook several times, but now am concerned about getting groceries. We fly in, and don’t rent a car. They stated that Shipping Services are not available, so does that mean we cannot have groceries delivered to the resort?

And no room service available, depending on definition of Intigial Reopening Period, according to the Dining Experiences:

• Private dining and in-room delivery will not be offered during the initial reopening window.

Once you have arrived and you're all settled. Send one or two people in an Uber to the nearest grocery store. My guess is that the delivery charge, tip and food up charge will be more than the cost of the Uber.

Mine when I ordered said they'd ship June 1st, they now say August 12th. They were medium princess masks.

Going to be interesting when Disney parks are opening on July 15th, NASCAR just annouced they are going to have a race with 30,000 fans that night, should help with the optics of large crowds for Disney, fireworks might be coming back sooner than we think.

I'm sure cases rising in Florida will have more to say then some race in a different state.

Yes, NASCAR is having a race with 30,000 fans in Tennessee that same night, but that track has a capacity of 162,000. So it’s not like they’re filling the place. They’re operating at less than 20%. Those fans are going to be very spread out through the grandstands.

We ordered them with a June 15th date and nothing yet!

Where do you see shipping dates? I’ve looked everywhere and all I see is standard shipping and status processing.

I am starting to wonder if the lack of news is related to the marked uptick in Orange County coved cases? If that does not turn around soon, then most of our speculation will be for naught.

Magic Kingdom is also going to be operating probably around 20-25% of capacity as well, with plenty of room to spread out. Disney is not filling the place either, fireworks etc will be feasible sooner than later.

I doubt it, there are many more cases of out there and that number is only going to go up with more testing. Hospitalizations are the key metric and that number is stable for a while now.

Hit 3 million views today at some point!

I noticed that too and just searched the thread to see if anyone else had! Nice!

I’d keep an eye on it the important number to watch is the positivity rate that has more than doubled in the last week. That number has to stabilize of come down or it’s game over. Orange County could easily go back into lockdown.

Here's one in the win column for Universal - watching all the you-tube channels I follow normally for Disney stuff posting their vlogs of visiting IOA /Universal makes me reallllllly want to go.

Like if Disney still has some crazy restrictions going on in May, or never brings back hopping, we may take two days from our trip and go to IOA/Universal Studios! I would love to stay at the Royal Pacific, looks gorgeous!

Heading to UO for the first time in July. Staying 4 nights at Royal Pacific. Really looking forward to it. After 4 days at UO, we’re heading to Sea World one day then Busch Gardens the next. This year would have been out 4th straight Disney trip, but we’re sitting this one out unfortunately. Just too many question marks left with the kids starting school in two months. Not expecting the Disney experience, but looking forward to trying out what we’ve been missing at the other parks while not feeling guilty for “cheating on Disney”.

Nobody should be made to feel "guilty" for trying out other local theme parks! Definitely try them out and I'm sure you'll have a blast! We are going to Adventure Island in Tampa next week, and definitely looking forward to letting our toddlers splash around and get some sunshine (assuming it's not raining!) and some fresh air! My poor little kiddos just don't understand a 4 month lockdown.

We seem to have migrated from rumors to car choices to shopping. Where is the NEWS?! The rampant, vociferous, and ill-founded SPECULATION?!

The feeling of guilt may be more like dread of forking over more cash for a few days at Universal when we already have (or had) APs at WDW. Fortunately we bought new APs that aren’t active yet, so we’ll sit on them (and think about the other things I could have spent that money on) until next year.

The biggest difference between UO and WDW is that UO is a lot like Disneyland in CA. It's pretty much an extended weekend park. Sea World and Busch Gardens should do a good job of filling in the rest of your time. Make sure your kids don't watch Black Fish before your trip. Then, they'll make you feel really guilty.
