Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

This is a link to the community board. I assure you, make one thread and you will get a LIVELY debate about who is a superspreader, case numbers, which states are/are not doing it correctly, masks, you name it. The community board lives for this kind of stuff. It will go on for days.

Please please please though, just take all the politics and numbers stuff over there where it belongs. That is the place to have those discussions.

I like him. Always have. Are the people surrounding him and giving him details not experts? This doctor speaking right now is saying the same as him. They obviously all support him.

There is no agenda when it comes to a virus. It's keeping people safe, and giving them the messages, without scaring the hell out of people. Stay safe, and listen to the things you need to do to stay safe

All the people around him are people that will give the opinions he likes. I'm sure there are many that would disagree, but you won't see them on the panel. I don't trust politicians nor the people they cherry pick to give us information. Clearly, what he has done has not worked. But the political aspects of this is probably best discussed elsewhere, including media bashing.

Jock Lindsay’s at DS just closed (again). Aren’t they also a restaurant and have a patio?

Thank you for sharing. So this means we should be able to add a day to our package on 6/28 then, right?

From what she said, yes. She was the most helpful and informative CM we've had by far during all of this. I can't imagine she would let us cancel our tickets knowing we wouldn't be able to buy more. Hopefully its good info!

I’m not sure where you got they are selling ships for scraps. The banks that hold the notes on them would never let that happen.

Carnival is offloading 6 ships but are still taking delivery of 4 brand new ships in the next 12 months.

Good luck keeping 20 year olds wearing masks. I barely ever see them wearing them. They are the issue and the super spreaders of this. They need to wake up. The teens are even worse

Every 20 something up here in Boston wears a mask. I ride the train everyday to the city for work. I’m on it right now. You either wear a mask or you don’t get on. Everyone supports each other. It has to be a community effort.

I'll continue to post the links for the WDW local/Florida conferences as possible and appropriate. Thanks all!

50% of revenue has to come from food, no way does that happen at JL. Order was effective immediately so not surprised they're already closed (feel bad for staff members). Having a patio doesn't matter for this.

Yeah but the inside area is likely the bulk of their money. Probably not worth it to open on a to-go or outside only basis.

And probably not profitable enough to serve the drinks to go.

Ok got it - makes sense. I’ve only been there once and ate (& drank) out on the patio so wasn’t sure.

Just to clarify she's saying 2020 tickets will be on sale?

 

[Krandor]

Yep. It is like the comment about disney only opening up if they can have a positive contribution to the finances. It would likely cost JL more to open then they could make in selling to-go.

It's interesting to hear that. Thanks for sharing your experience.

In my area, the younger people are taking this all very seriously while the older people are definitely the ones still claiming it's a hoax and refusing to wear masks. Teens, 20yo, and 30yo are still imploring older people to wear masks. Our county has seen a surge in cases and some of our commissioners have been urging our mayor to put us back in Phase 1. Last I saw, our ICU beds are maxed out.

Not surprised anecdotal experience varies from place to place, though.

ETA: I fully admit, it's not 100% compliance or non-compliance across any age group. I've seen both older people with masks and younger people without masks. The majority of non-mask-wearers we encounter when we have to go out, or come across in our local outlets, are older, though. The majority of mask-wearers and mask-supporters in my area are younger. I don't mean to start an age-group debate.

Is it though? I think there are more tables outside than in.

You have to wonder what would cause a shutdown in the middle of the day. I suppose the immediate ban of alcohol. But still, you’d think they ar least finish out the day’s business.

Not sure. Perhaps they just figured might as well shut it down now and start cleaning up?

It is odd.....

Unless they knew they couldn't transition to to go fast enough and without having procedures in place better be safe than sorry?

It's also sad. I feel for the employees.

It was.
