Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Hoodie]

Goodness, I feel like I'm the only one NOT surprised by the Grand Floridian. These are multimillionaires who probably have only stayed in the GF when they've visited. I doubt they would have happily moved to CSR. I was more surprised to see it not on the original lists. It also has the smallest number of DVC rooms. GF seemed like a no brainer for a deluxe property.

I'm more puzzled by Yacht Club since there isn't really any way to create a decent "bubble" there.

Why can't they be separate from DVC?

I'm betting NBA won't be going to restaurants that are listed open to public and will be going to restaurants that won't be open to public.

Look at what's open/not open at those resorts, the nicer sit-downs are closed to public... Toledo, both restaurants at Yacht Club, all the restaurants at Grand Floridian...all closed to public.

The Grand Floridian Cafe is supposed to be open.

I don't think NBA is going to restaurants period. They will likely have a private dining room and food made specifically for them. It may be made in sone of the restaurant kitchens but doubt they will be eating there.

Maybe Narcooses, since it's a separate building.

Who knows, but I would imagine they are going to be in those empty restaurants, can't feed everyone in their room all the time!

Okay.

Would be silly not to let them eat (at least sit in and be served) at the restaurants in CSR or Yacht Club but hey, that's why they don't pay me the big bucks...

I hope they don't close off the walkway around Crescent Lake near YC for the NBA. We really enjoy being able to take a nice walk around there at night from BWV.

I completely agree! Just pointing out that Disney has said there will be some public access to main building.

The bubble, safety.....it’s all a bunch of crap!

Always has been.

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

Regular season ends August 16th. Feasible for Yacht Club to be vacant by Labor Day weekend.

Ugh this annoys me. I love that Hotel, and I don't think they should be in hotels right next to magic kingdom. Disney annoying me so much lately

Is it sacred or something? It’s not like guests are staying there with hotels all closed until further notice.

 

[junderwood99]

Anyone DVC able to check availability of a studio or 1 bedroom from Aug 6-10? Currently at BCV and so upset about this announcement. No way SAB opens ..... I’m furious.

On the bright side we know booking and tickets will open by the end of July...

Where did we find this out from?

 

[cakebaker]

They don’t need the restaurants. They have chefs available to fix whatever their hearts desire. They have no interest in them mingling with the regular folk.

Jus because YC is vacant doesn' mean they are going to open it up to regular guests though. They may still have enough capacity is whatever is open on Aug 16th not to need to open another resort.

Joke. Sorry we were talking about how this will be one big ad for WDW and I took the next leap a bit too quick that booking better be open by the time the games (ie The Ad) starts at end of July. I better go edit that...

I did say may. I don’t have the least bit of knowledge about bb playoffs, don’t care to know. I just know they could play into October.

I guess they will all eat in the conference centers? Because I can't imagine them eating in their rooms everyday, it's not prison.

They can eat their specially prepared meals in the closed to public restaurants, that's what I'm saying.

I don't know, we'll see.

when I checked earlier there was a lot of studio availability but not for Copper Creek. I know for sure BWV garden view studio was open.

That’s annoying. Two more deluxes out of the reopening mix. Assuming they were planning to reopen the deluxes attached to DVC, as has been rumored, but not other properties, the number of rooms potentially available at parks reopening just dwindled.

I’m not the betting kind, but in this case, my money goes to the resort opening, with SAB, within days of the NBA leaving.

I also predict Disney will suddenly love their regular guests and be pushing for them to return. Let’s see if I’m right.
