Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Mit88]

Here’s a very reliable insider saying don’t read too much into the location that you see listed in the cast callbacks (and expressing skepticism re:T-Rex)

Every time someone either talks about, or posts something from Marni on WDWMagic, my mind immediately goes to Halloweentown

That's WAY too many syllables for that line, anyway.

Adding more of the letter o doesn’t impact syllables

After that press conference I don't think we'll see any new news today

Well I do hope Le Cellier really is going to open. I'd like to finally get to eat there without the fear of accidentally picking up my neighbor's fork.

It would be compensation for getting stuck with an entirely Epcot vacation if that's the only park I can get. Social distancing at Le Cellier and Biergarten and another chance to ride Spaceship Earth before the rehab and I'll be happy enough.

seems like I missed something. Is there a page I should start on for today’s news? Why are people talking about no fireworks? We already knew that.

I don’t think there is any massive news today after catching up. Happy to be corrected though... each day that ticks by without the reservation system at this point is wild to me. Especially with the parks opening very soon again.

Why is that? I was not able to watch

Why is that? I was not able to watch

just the OC mayor gave report on some not so great numbers and issued an EO requiring people to wear masks at all times within the county
I don't think Disney would follow up with "hey we are getting ready to open this is what you need to do" post
Just to add remember you can check last page of this thread for actual news of the day https://www.disboards.com/threads/w...pdates-news-only.3802762/page-3#post-61962999

Biggest news today is Pop Century resort staff recalled. We have no guarantees they are being recalled *to Pop Century*, but I mean, they probably are.

I bet that is why we got the update from Disney's Chief medical officer and why Disney keeps retweeting it.

THey probably got the heads up today the News conference was not going to be pretty.

I hate politics and dont want to get it into it, always hated it from birth LOL but... I dont think Desantis will mandate it. IMO

I just want him to lift NJ NY and CT restrictions so i can get excited for our trip!

I really think they will before the parks open

but...........

Will there be a tit for tat war between the 2 governors. Cuomo said today he is thinking of quarantine anyone that comes from Florida to NY.

This is why politics SUCK!!

eh, I don’t think so. DeSantis knows they need the tri state area to get their tourism economy full back up and running.

It's currently set to expire before the parks reopen

I still see it on my MDE

I meant the home page when you open the app

 

[LSUmiss]

I thought @yulilin3 had figured out a trick for that about 300 pages ago using the park hours page? I don't remember the details.

Yeah I saw that but some of it doesn’t seem right. Like meet & greets were still on there. I would think that can’t be right.

I agree 100%

Which is why I would be shocked if it went past July 7th

They're tweeting it a million times because today is the launch of their Incredibles health awareness campaign, they announced it on GMA and are keeping the momentum going throughout the day.

I suspect the mandate from OC happened to land on the same day, Disney was gonna do what they were gonna do regardless of OC.

 

[Mit88]

More Disney Springs than anything parks related but AMC Theaters will be reopening in select cities on July 15th. And masks will be required in certain municipalities while cities without a mandate will not be required to wear masks

I'm voting Disney IT problems on the park reservation system taking so long.

Wasn't there a big story a few years ago about Disney being sued by employees whose jobs were being outsourced? I remember something about them having to train their replacements and then being laid off.
