Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

So when would regular season end? I hope before September 12 as that's when we check in!

I don’t think we know yet what the bubble will look like but I am going to guess we won’t be kept out of the dining and main building.

I'm going to guess guests at DVC at GF will be directed to POLY for shopping and dining.

That may the first hotel to go when things condense, and it’s only for a couple months so hopefully it won’t make much an an impact. Wonder what they’ll do with DVC though...

Not sure why it would affect the DVC Villas. It's fairly well removed from the Grand Floridian buildings. They've already said Gasparilla Grill and a couple of shops in the main building will be open. Seems like you could isolate the NBA in several of the GF hotel buildings and maybe use Citricos and Narcoosees as their food source. Wouldn't be much need for them ever to go to the main GF building which is where the DVC people will need to go.

I know, they have thought more about how the NBA relationship is going to work, then the actual guest relationship that made Disney what it is today

I’ve said since the word came down that the NBA was coming that Disney is only begrudgingly allowing guests. The money is with the NBA, guests can go fish.
We’re it not for the legalities of DVC, the parks wouldn’t be open at all. They are catering to the ones holding the money.

Most guests will excuse it or forgive it.

They could easily play into October.

isn't the dining at Poly almost as close?

No...Poly walk is longer...but I wonder if this announcement means that Poly hotel doesn’t open soon either? This way, they are only dealing with DVC rooms...

So, I can see now GF, Poly, and YC/BC no longer opening soon to regular guests.

So you think DVC members could potentially be mingling with NBA players? If they were allowed into the same spaces (NBA has to at least pass through the main building to get to convention space, roadways, etc), there would be some cross-contact. Not saying it won’t happen, but that would surprise me.

I really don’t think that little blurb means a whole lot. It’s not like they can prove you have a headache. It’s a cover your backside thing that in reality, means nothing. If you try and enter the parks visibly ill, that might be a problem. Otherwise, I wouldn’t worry about it.

I agree. I think Disney is doing the CYA thing, especially with the tri-state area quarantine rules. I get it, they've been sued for crazy things before. I can totally see someone trying to sue them for getting Covid while at the parks. This is also why we'll all be signing the waiver of acknowledging the risks of Covid.

But yeah, if you're visibly ill, please don't go into a park. *hops off soap box*

Thinking that the restaurants will not be an issue at any of the resorts. All three have convention facilities and I’d expect the teams to have set ups that would have private catered dining set up for the teams in all three.. keeping the players, coaches & support staff within their own bubble.

The last possible date is October 12th

Feel free to laugh at my complete lack of knowledge about the nba situation.
How long are the teams planning on spending inside wwos? Could they have breakfast and dinner only at their resorts and spend the rest of their day at wwos? Opening dining options at the GF at least for regular guests?
CSR and YC are more secluded and have dining options within

I don’t think it’s going to be the same for every team. I’ve seen it mentioned that they’re planning on playing as many as six games per day.

So if you have a headache for whatever reason, they want you to stay out, even if it's from something else entirely? A headache is one of the most common medical conditions around. Same with a cough or a runny nose. I guess if you have allergies or a cold, forget going to WDW.

Yup lol

lol.. I just posted the same thoughts..

That’s a heck no

I think they will keep NBA out of the QS places, and such, yes. They will cater to them with their own food and no need for them to go into main buildings.

Hold up, is Yacht Club big enough to hold all those teams? I noticed some reporters on twitter are saying Yacht Club and some are saying Yacht & Beach Club.

Wow.

That TRAILS part makes me wonder also..

Yup, so if you have a Sept 12 reservation, you may have a problem.

 

[OhanaWoman]

Should I change my Grand Floridian DVC stay in August? I don't want to stay there if I can't go to the main building, the pool , or Gasparillas for food.
