Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[DGsAtBLT]

Okay so if the news scale looks like this (examples not real news, obviously)...

Happy news:
ADR booking has a date
Something unexpected is opening

Mildly bad:
ADR limits (quantity or something like same day)
Water parks/resorts without opening dates remaining closed through 2020

Really bad:
2020 ticket sales are done for
Not actually letting people with tickets but without Disney resorts book
Delayed or further modified opening

...My guess is if she’s sitting on something coming out fairly soon were getting something from the mildly bad category, next most likely my guess is happy news, and I think really bad is least likely.

When she is excited she is EXCITED!!!! Bouncing around Instagram stories kind of excited, not the vibe given with that tweet. I hope I’m interpreting totally wrong and this isn’t something bad

Isn't it obsious. She posted pictures of marshmallows.

Smores at the resorts is on!

Splash Mountain changing to Princess and the Frog thread

I don't know. I think Twitter should be at the bottom.

It could just be no ADRs at in-park restaurants...so Disney can decide what to open and why by the day...

Twitter has that reputation where it’s just a place for people to deliver their best daily hot takes in 140 characters or less. So I find twitter to be some of the best satire literature available

 

[JacknSally]

I’d take Twitter every day of the week over that Splash Mountain thread

lol funny you say that! I just mentioned it was like Facebook in there then I ducked out of that one. I’m done.

Ughhhhh I keep getting sucked in. I think my husband's going to have the internet shut off.

Whaaaat? So they are blocking off the beach area from DVC guests?

Well that’s going to make for a lovely picture as we lounge by the only pool we have access to. Uggggh

You can access most of the beach but yes there will be fencing on the beach.

Does anyone think before Disney delays they will base it on what surrounding theme parks are doing? I know that they usually do their own thing but they’ve also been closed longer. Their mentality may be “well if universal isn’t closing full steam ahead” I know some of u may disagree with me but I could see it

No. I believe WDW has been doing exactly what they want regardless of everyone else.

I didn't see the movie yet..were there marshmallows in REMY ?

 

[Mit88]

Sounds like she was making fun of all the people screaming no one could stay at the Grand because the NBA was there.

I was one of those people. But I was also unfamiliar with the resort layout as ive never stayed there, or had any desire to. I didn’t realize the DVC side and Hotel side were as spread out as they are.

Well this may come across as entitled but I’m just gonna say it. Grrrrrrrr

There had to be a more aesthetically pleasing way to do it. Put security on each of the paths that need to be blocked off. Glass fence. I dunno.

But blocking off VGF guests in this way that not only do they not have access to the rest of the resort... they don’t have visual access to it either.... poor. Just poor.

I've been debating whether or not to order a 2020 ornament... My dilemma was if we wait until our trip, the 2021 merch will be out, which does us no good. If we order one now, there's a chance we won't go on the trip, and then I won't have a need for the ornament (we get one for every year we go)

Finally decided today I'll just order it and if we end up not going then it'll just be a weird keepsake of our cancelled trip

If the 2020 ornaments don‘t include the characters in masks , or the Disney mask ornament collection ( like that year of shoe ornaments) it will be a missed opportunity. You could even include an ornament of angry Donald because he doesn’t want to wear one. Good times.

You’re right. And because of that, I thought they’d come up with a way to separate the areas in a way that doesn’t visually impinge on MY vacation.

A fence on the beach and right next to the pool area is most definitely visually impinging on my vacation. Ugh.

They might not be done yet - they might put up scrims or posters or something on the fencing

There would be ways to walk around security unless they had a bunch of them stationed in a perimeter to block off non-nba guests.

People go crazy for celebrities at Disney parks. I stayed at Grand Californian during D23 weekend last year, and every time I would come downstairs from the room to head to the convention center or parks, the same people would be standing in the lobby waiting for celebrities to walk out of the elevator.

The fences at GFR, though tacky and not great to look at, they add a level of safety for the players, bubble wise, and just safety in general wise

I placed my order for two set's on April 30. I got an email last week that they have been shipped. I checked the tracking number yesterday & I should be getting them Monday, June 29.

Mine have now been shipped. But they are running a few days behind what the tracking number says.

Sorry for the bratty rant but just had to get it off my chest

I truly think that fence should be the least of someone’s concerns who is actually attempting Disney with all its issues during the timeframe the NBA is at the GF. Kinda like next time I go to Disney put it on record that I won’t give one single care if the crane is out lol. Bigger fish to fry.

Im glad they made it so VGF guests have access to the amenities (most) and are not basically limited to their building.

I think many people are fully entitled to let out a good rant these days. Things and experiences are being taken away from people that are used to those things in a specific way. While these things are being taken away for the purpose of good, it still sucks

There is only so much you are going to do for something that is very temporary. I'm honestly surprised they are putting this much work into it. If it was permanent or close to permanent I'd agree but this is only a few months. As somebody said they may add some posters or something to it.
