Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

They’re discussing whether WDW will delay opening on the DIS Unplugged right now. Spoiler alert: they think reopening will be delayed.

I still think WDW opens on time.

Holy cannoli, really?

On the local news this morning they said there were currently 25 covid patients in ICU In Orange County. It’s hard to know what to believe with so much conflicting information.

Difference could be one is reporting total ICU cases and one is reporting the number of ICU cases that are due to covid.

So far Pete and Jackie think it will be delayed. Craig says still a go.

Don’t forget, right now they’re opinion based like the rest of us .

I wonder when they will open up other restaurants at the resorts that are opening later this summer. For example - I have a late August trip, and would like to book Sebastian's Bistro. CBR will be open by then, but who knows if/when Sebastian's will open.

I want to try Sebastian's as well! We're going to be at Riviera and I've heard great things. I haven't seen any info anywhere RE: the opening date.

No kidding. I feel like I have so much blood, sweat, and tears invested in this trip.

I think at this point there’s good arguments for delay, heavier modifications, and no change.

And to think back to when all problems would be solved with a defined opening date . Thanks COVID.

Wow, that surprises me. I would have thought for sure Pete would say they are going forward with the opening. As pie in the sky as he was about June 1st, I would have thought he'd be more optimistic about it.

Don’t forget, right now they’re opinion based like the rest of us .

I hope so...although, they do have insider sources, so...it definitely worries me that they are thinking that direction.

He was very candid about how he would not have thought that back in April. The numbers are concerning to him.

And, Pete was sure they'd open June 1st, soooo....

Yep I still think he was in a dream then.

Cases weren't rising like they are now. Petes biggest concern is how few people are following guidelines around Orlando.

I would hope this isn't true considering how cases are rising.

I’m not sure what good it would do. It’s just a snapshot in time. You can get tested and become positive while you’re waiting for the results. it certainly won’t make guests or staff any safer.

Also positivity rate wasn't trending above 12%...

It was half that..

It’s right at 17% today.
Edited: Correction, the new source I read puts it at 19%.

There are some innovative and cost effective things they could do with testing, like running one test on a large group of samples - that way if it comes up negative, you just cleared 20-40 people. If it's positive then you do individual tests. There are companies preparing to do this as they open large offices back up.

That's where I was in March. Everyone who had trips cancelled, some of us multiple times, knows what that feels like. I’m glad we made the decision to give up. I’ve worried and worked long enough for something that’s supposed to be fun.
