Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[AmberMV]

For anyone concerned about Covid-19 it is highly suggested everywhere that you do not travel or partake in activities that would increase your risk of exposure. Disney has it loud and clear on their website. There is a clear risk, and by choosing to travel to Disney you are accepting that risk.

Of course. The CDC decision is part of it of course. But, the CDC order is extended until July 24th, and they have cruises still on the books starting July 31st. Surely you can't find it appropriate that DCL wait till July 25th to give these people some sort of information? People have lives. People have plans. They deserve to know something so they can make the appropriate decision for their families.

That said, I am sure that by this point DCL has at least SOME idea about their path forward. While nothing may be set in stone, they probably have ideas about what restrictions will be in place, what dining modifications will take place, what cuts to entertainment could occur. They probably have an idea on whether sailings will be limited to 3/4 day sailings for the immediate future.

With WDW, long before an opening date was announced, there were leaks out there about what the experience might entail and how it may change. Some came to happen, some didn't. But, it at least gave guests an idea on what to expect. Why couldn't DCL do this? Even if they don't put out an official statement, they could leak a list of the things that are currently on and off the table, things they are considering. And then let the guests make the decision for themselves whether to sail or not.

Through my various cruise groups, there have been many people who have cancelled; and do you know what the most cited reason for cancelling is? Fear of Covid? Nope. The explicit lack of communication from DCL.

There is NO information coming from DCL. We have a GTY stateroom boomed for August, which means we CAN’T cancel it without losing the entire price of the cruise. They are not giving any info and are still holding people to non-refundable fares - which would normally be acceptable, but a bit tough under the circumstances. It’s now two months away, 6 weeks for those with early August cruises.

Disney needs to give us some news so we stop trying to get into COVID data discussions...

I am waiting to know if they will be opening up ADR's for next week and beyond.

I am there for 4 days next week and you would think with 6 days to go we would of heard something by now

right?! Can we just make up news at this point?

That would be nice but the Covid Data will override any info coming from Disney. The whole title of this thread derives from that. This week will probably prove decisive. Disney can announce they are opening this that or the other but if things continue as they are that will all be overridden. The reality is, what we hear from Disney is a plan, the Covid data is a fact.

This isn't a thread for discussing COVID data.

We don't have any confirmation on this yet.

All things are pointing at this ending July 7th when the state of emergency ends in Florida.

It is against the law for a EO to not have a end date so I don’t believe it’s been indefinitely extended.

True but it is a thread of the effect of Covid on Disney and DCL operations the two are irrevocably linked.

This was reported on last week and its not officially known yet when the travel ban will end.

No executive orders have been written or changed in the state of Florida since June 3rd

So its wait and see right now for the travel ban

As of right now it expires July 7th who knows if it will be extended or not right now.

Yes. We don't know yet.

My guess is and just a guess they will let it expire on July 7th

 

[Nightmarefandom]

That’s my thinking as well

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.

Nope, I’m just as upset, my trip is booked for December and I have to modify my reservation, son can’t come due to university Schedule changes, I would really like to take care of it. I can’t pay on it,modify it or do anything basically. I‘m really thinking of cancelling and booking somewhere else. If this is what it’s like now I really wonder if anything will change in the future.

 

[Pickle Rick]

That’s my thinking as well

Depends on the data, I would hope.

Here in jersey today we had about 300 cases which is light years from where we were about 3 weeks ago.
