Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[TheMaxRebo]

Well, sorry my posts were deleted. I hope you can leave this for a minute or two because I'm uncomfortable with impression people were painting of me.

I am quite shocked at how some people were taking my posts. I never meant to imply what some of you were thinking. I am very passionate about the topic and work in my hospital and in my neighborhood getting the word out to those who don't hear it. All about this disease, the risks, things you can do to prevent, help getting access to healthcare.

Never meant to say it was someone's own fault. I would never say that. I'm actually sitting here really upset as I would never dream of harming or making painful accusations against others.

I don't know what to even think now. I'm sorry everyone.

I didn't take as you attacking people or anything - I think you had positive intentions. And this pandemic has highlight the inequality of healthcare in our country and hopefully and be a force to rectify that

But this is also an example of how things can get misconstrued when typed on the internet without conversational back and forth, without tone or body language, ey

Obviously it's not permanent but neither are any walls Disney puts up. They still theme them in some way. Do you think that people paying GF prices should be seeing those ugly chain link fences for 3 months?

Those staying at GF are mainly DVC members. They are locked in for the most part. It’s covered in blue tarps as well. Personally I wouldn’t be bother by it. I’m not going to spend my day staring at a fence.

I bet people will still be able to see most of the players heads above that fence still lol

Image from DVC construction at the Poly. That went on much longer than this and those certainly look like boring fences to me...

If you are still there today I would love to know about any modifications to the resort pool bars. Hoping they can figure out how to operate them in a modified way!

BAR RIVA IS OPEN!!! Bar stools removed from bar area. Only change! ♥

We will be there next weekend! Did you dine at Toppolino's? And if so, how was the modified experience?

So they made it "To-Go". Which makes sense when you read the emergency order.

That’s fast. It just opened on Monday. Adding the average five days to that I’d more likely wager they got it before they got there or during their travels. Hopefully they didn’t pass it at WDW. Hope they’re doing well

Travel days for anyone tend to be the biggest danger times for getting ill - you expose yourself to new germs all over the travel trip and you tend to be stressed and tired going into the travel...so I'm betting someone in the family picked up the virus day 1 at some point on that travel day...and then was symptomatic day 5 (which would hit the median 5-7 days to symptom onset)...

Good on them for getting immediately tested at home...but hoping they were uber-careful on the plane back to Michigan...and then went right home...or they just spread a huge caseload through their plane and Michigan...

Anyone else seen the park reservations page for APs? HS is gone for all of July now.

A lot of days in July are totally gone, several.in August too. Also MK and DHS are gone for Sept 5th

Also prompts me to wonder about the bar that was on the outside patio area of Topolino's we loved that space!

Still all green for resort guests for all days after the first week..

We did not. We were planning on character breakfast, but backed out when they cut back the menu. Have a great trip! It is beautiful here.

Yeah I want to see the view from up there! I've been wanting to visit Riviera since it was completed, hopefully it won't be packed when we are there

The weekend of Aug 7th is when passholders who have blackout dates are able to go back to the parks. In case anyone was wondering why a random weekend in August was full.

Anyone have any on-the-ground news about geyser point?

Kind of. We are at a table ordering food. We were offered alcohol at our table. Constant stream of to go orders for booze, though.

I am hearing another big dump about to be reported for cases in Florida.

This board about to blow up...

Yep - that’s from yesterday. They actually usually update this every afternoon, around 3-4pm eastern time. I usually just google ‘Coronavirus numbers *insert state here*’, then go to the news results.

edit: or maybe Florida updates theirs earlier? Maybe I’m wrong about this!

We ate there (Topolino's) and really liked it (though I liked the apps and dessert better than the mains) and the view is so great from the outside are - got to see multiple fireworks from there (though they don't pipe in any music)
