Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[yulilin3]

It was based on comments you've made in live streams about how uncomfortable it is wearing a mask in the heat, even for someone who is used to it.

yeah the mask is not fun. But the OP is mindful of that and she still wants to come so more power to her/him. Definitely better to be at the theme parks than stuck at home

I’m going mad right with you, as I couldn’t find the quoted content, FAQ, etc. either on that site.

I know some TA jumped the gun when Disney first started announcing changes, and started talking about it only to be told by Disney not to disclose the info

Hope you can still plan something else for a fun summer trip!

My parents live down the shore on the water, so I’m just going to invade their house every weekend perks of COVID - less traffic getting down there

So, looking at the AP calendar on Disney's site and they've now added language for a reservation system "launching soon" as well as calendars through next June that tell you "reservations required."

I know -- soon!!! You know, as someone else said, sometime between now and the inevitable heat death of the universe.

Pure speculation here, but keep in mind Disney may not allow vouchers to be used to make park reservations. I know it makes zero sense considering you can't redeem the voucher until you arrive, but who knows what they'll do. Saying third party tickets won't guarantee access could be applied to vouchers, too.

Another missing piece of the puzzle at the moment. Hoping we’ll know that as soon as the system is rolled out.

Hasn't it said that for several weeks now?

I know tons of people in Florida, and also near Orlando, and the rising cases has not stopped them from going on with their lives, they are just being cautious. Some are just happy to finally be back at work.

I doubt universal will close. Many people who are now working, completely relied on themselves working. They know the risks, and they still want to be working.

We have to, at some point, let people make their own decisions, without ruining their financial lives. Can't just open and close and open and close.

Like I said, we won't even be out of the Covid world, we will just need to learn to live in the Covid world, being as safe as we can

Many of these new infections are mild from what they are saying, and hospitalizations actually went down yesterday with 68 people admitted. Deaths have also dropped. With the 2 week lag, we will know more in 2 weeks about the hospitals, but I hope for the best. I hope everyone continues to be safe, and recovers

Highly highly unlikely we will see Orlando or UO close down. Disney will open in 6 days.

Tighter precautions maybe put in place but too many things are in motion for them not to open.

Maybe in 4 or 5 months from now we can reevaluate, but like it's been mentioned before disney is opening knowing cases are rising which is why they are taking all these measures.

Has it? I just noticed today. Sorry if it's old news!

I know the "reservations required" into mid next year has been up there for several weeks. What I don't recall is if the system said "launching soon" or something else when it first appeared a few weeks ago. Can anyone confirm if this is new language?

Hoping it's a glitch, but it shows several dates for later this year not available for certain parks already depending on what pass you have

What do you mean?

Gold and Silver APs have always had block out dates around the holidays (Christmas/New Year’s and Easter).

those are regular blocked out dates

It has definitely been deleted. I kept the page open from this morning and when I refreshed, it had been changed.

I honestly think this will be the first trip where I buy any of the year themed merchandise. Pandemic Disney 2020 deserves remembering.

I guess until it actually goes live, we won't know what to expect. I was briefly checking on my dates in September and some dates are already not available for Magic Kingdom park. Not sure since I have a package if that means I might be eligible or not so I guess we will wait and see... Soon!
