Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Farro]

It's weird - unless they're still anticipating conventions to take place? Or will the NBA be back?! (I kid, I kid)

Wondered the same thing....or if it's a glitch.

I asked in the CSR Facebook group I'm in - I'll see what they say!

Weird that they have blocked out CSR in the future, but that they havent made all stars available next year but blocked out this year.

Suggests to me they do expect all stars to remain shut next year

CSR is not totally blocked out for next year.

Amy said from june 2021 onwards?

Universal laid off a bunch of TMs.
2021 sales opened today and it's gone as smoothly as most people expected, I think.
NY instituted a 14-day quarantine for anyone traveling into the state from several hotspot states, including Florida.

Does the NY 14 day quarantine on Floridians, and FL 14 day quarantine on New Yorkers cancel each other out?

@Amy11401 - in the group some of the UK visitors were able to book CSR for June and July 2021!

I wonder if they have some capacity limits on hotels for now, which they will release as time goes on?

There are no glitches according to Disney. You’re doing it wrong.

I would have loved CBS to name that spokesperson...

Wilderness Lodge is also not on the list - I suspect they may try to get that refurb finished on the non-DVC side?

Someone else earlier said I think 20% capacity limits were being used.

So have Disney IT forgot to apply those limits to UK bookings? Or do international visitors go in a different capacity bucket I wonder?

And there is a TA out there starting a rumor that WDW is set to announce plans to delay the reopening due to recent COVID spike in FL.

Can you point me in the direction of this?

Now a 14 day quarantine for anyone coming back from Florida to NY,NJ,CT.

No surprise the Corona infection rates look horrible in Florida , going the wrong direction.

Value resorts, $232/night AoA and $201/night Pop for 9/2/21 to 9/7/21. My 9/3/20-9/8/20 at Pop was like $130-$138/night since it's value season 2, and I think they were running a late summer discount (I used Orbitz for stacked discount). Obviously, Disney is using the current fear of limited availability to book up rack rates.

In my province the vast majority of cases in the last few weeks, maybe even a month at this point, have come from travel or a close contact of someone who travelled. We are nearly back to normal at this point, save for really large gatherings like sporting events, although we did have protests. All our progress and work could be derailed quickly with a small handful of people traveling somewhere that is higher risk than ours and going about business as usual at home. I think it’s realistic to expect people to isolate upon return especially when you’re talking travel to a place that is spiking. This is what’s been going on where I am for months. Nothing is really “at your own risk“ during this, it’s our collective risk. And if it’s about the economy, isn’t pumping money into your local area the most beneficial to you, directly?

I hope everyone who travels in general to Disney or not considers whether they are putting people at risk with their actions when they return. I know the discussion is considered OT so I won’t continue responding but I can’t think of a more important aspect to planning a Disney trip than this right now.

Agreed. We both work from home full time and Our state has zero restrictions for quarantine but we will be voluntarily doing so when we return.

Post 35,688 earlier today. Here was the exact wording:

"So...nothing official nor confirmed but.......just on with our travel agent and he said that there may be an announcement coming from Disney later today about pushing back the opening dates in response to the rising cases and the petition from CMs. We were all set to go August 7th, got out park reservations...just devastated. "

He also said that he didn't ask for the info, just that when he was asking about his resort changes the person on the line (who was supposedly a supervisor) had volunteered the information that they'd move oblige his request but that they don't know if the parks will even open now (my paraphrasing of his post)

I think it simply means they don't know when all stars will open and has decided guessing on dates like that is a bad idea.

I was even hypothesizing that they might try to get BRV full refurb done... No one agrees.

This has always been one of my biggest frustrations with Disney - so much depends entirely on the CM you get when you call. I know almost everyone is just doing their best, especially right now! I don't fault anyone at all for that. Info has just always varied wildly from one CM to another.

Very true. Although we talked to two of them and they said the same thing. We have a POR stay in 6 weeks and I have no interest in CBR but
