Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Ninjagrrl]

Ugh that’s where we are the first week of August. Not sure I can face another day of trying to call. Assuming the CMs probably don’t even have this update yet and it will be mass confusion. Should I wait it out for an official announcement or Would you all consider the fact that it has been removed from the site as pretty much official?

I don't wait for Disney to announce anything, they are terrible at communicating with guests. If it were me, I'd call.

For people thinking of handing out cards or buttons or sweets or anything else to CMs during the reopening, they have been instructed not to receive anything at all, so don't feel bad if they politely decline your gift. Best thing you can do is cast compliment on twitter

Where did the fun thread of yesteryear (or a few days ago) go?

All they need is someone who says something “I was at Disney last week now I’m positive” or “I went to Disney when I had symptoms”. Nothing needs to be officially proven to blow back negatively on Disney. And Disney will be vilified more than Publix or even Universal.

Already happened , a person who went to Disney and Universal and was symptomatic and died from Covid, like you said not Officially proven he caught it there

Thanks for the suggestion. what #tag do we use for that?
What does that mean for tipping bell services or housekeeping?

Two dozen WWE employees tested positive in Florida yesterday, Including one who has now gotten it for a second time! It’s going to be real hard for the NBA to justify that there players are safe.

WWE employees are allowed to leave and go about their life after they work. The NBA is enforcing a bubble in which their players cant go off on their own unless they want to not be paid or contribute to the team in a playoff run for 14 days. And they dont even have to test positive. Thats just a punishment for leaving the bubble without permission

Testing positive for the second time doesn’t mean you got it a second time. It only means your test detected virus shedding. There have been some studies that suggests that you can shed the virus on and off for weeks after you have recovered. That doesn’t mean you have contracted it again and it doesn’t mean you are infectious.

Morningggggg, friends!

Anyone got any gut feelings or want to guess about any cruise or park related news we might get today?
Anyone got any good YouTube channels or anything for people who are in the DVC resorts this week? I don't think @yulilin3 is streaming today.

Orange County now has a mask mandate. Even before the mandate most were wearing masks. I’m not sure where the narrative comes from that nobody in Florida is social distancing or wearing masks. It’s simply not true in the area I live which is near MK.

I have heard/seen otherwise from many on these boards, and in the Dis Unplugged podcasts; trips to Publix where only the employees are wearing masks, bars open with tons of young people without masks/no social distancing, SeaWorld and their disaster of an opening..the list goes on. The mask mandate started a few days ago, and I am glad that your mayor stepped in and did this. I pray that your experience becomes the norm. Let's hope it is not too late.

Yes, I’m sure we’ll see that kind of attention again should someone test positive shortly after being there. It is what it is.

I don't think much news today. Although I am on a mission to buy a plant for a shaded area by our front door. I can let you know if I find a good one.

Remind me when the two other buckets for park reservations open up?

The look my 6 year old gave me when I told him he has to wear a mask all day at Disney....I guess he will be swimming all day and I'll be solo at parks!

that's a good point, I was talking more about non tipped CMs. like the ones that work at the parks, they get goodies all the time for guests. I would think leaving a tip for housekeeping or bell services is still fine
@wdwguestservice #castcompliment remember to get the name, where they are from and where they were working

I'm not expecting anything today, either. I didn't know if anyone here woke up with their spidey senses tingling, though. I was thinking AP's could book tomorrow.... or are they the 28th? It's all a blur lol

I need to finish making my reservations. Once the “thrill of the chase” was gone, I got complacent. Its not exciting to make reservations when the dates I’m going probably arent going to sell out

For me, that's a score.

Someone did suggest going to the Community Board for COVID specific subjects. I have visited that board, and there's some real winners there.

I like the crazy people here better.
