Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[midnight star]

Warning to monthly paid APs, I’m seeing lots of people reporting more charges hitting today. Check your banks/cards.

Yikes again?!

Yikes again?!

Unfortunately it seems to be a second charge for those people, not people who didn’t get hit yesterday.

 

[WonderlandisReality]

Welp. This is as awkward as last year's Tiki Room rumor...

I had forgotten about that. That was a rough time in our lives

My charge looks to have been removed.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

My charge looks to have been removed.

I am seeing reports of both - some people getting their refund and then others now being double charged

Where have you gotten the idea that people who are not freely going out don’t trust themselves? I think for the vast majority of us the problem is other people as well as the precautions we can take not being a guarantee. If you’ve found a way to control for those two, especially other people, please share your secrets lol.

Yeah... it’s not people going to Disney that worries me, as much as it is them coming back home. I do hope everyone going to Disney in the next few months has a good time, but I hope more that they have plans in place for two weeks strict quarantine when they return.

Just want to say hub and I are checking into RIVIERA tomorrow for a much-needed Mom & Dad's day off and we can't wait! I've wanted to see this resort since it opened last year!

ETA: I will try to check in here and provide pictures if I can!

We’re here! Bad lightning storm today but that’s Florida for you! Trouble with the QR code to mobile order from Primo Piatto and they won’t let you go in and sit down until your food is ordered so that’s annoying. So we walked to Bar Riva instead for a drink and a snack to hold us over until Toppolino’s tonight. CMs all masked, sanitizer and wipes everywhere, tables spaced apart. The baked Brie from Bar Riva was yummy and my husbands Greek salad was awesome. Drinks are VERY strong. TONS of staff here today, and a pretty full parking lot. We got an awesome view too!

As long as theres water running from the sinks, soap from the dispensers, and my mask still fits around my face, I’m still going in August, and not a single stranger on the internet was ever going convince me to do otherwise. I feel bad for those that dont trust themselves enough to be able to leave their homes while also staying vigilant. And not even just Disney. Theres a lot of world to see, and only a limited amount of time on Earth to see it.

There is a lot of world to see. And yep, I do want to live to be able to see it. You only live once, right? So we’re going to be pretty careful while this deadly virus is still in the initial months of going around and spiking in many places.

We are only 4 months into the pandemic. People are impatient and acting like this has been going on for years. I’d rather continue to be patient, be as careful as possible for a while and keep an eye on things. Perhaps it’s because my 3 year old is high risk. Even if not, I think I’d approach this the same. Follow the science. Look at the numbers. Listen to the experts.

This has also taught our family a lot about what we do really need in life - while we love Disney trips beyond measure, it is certainly not something we *need* to do while a deadly virus is in full steam in FL. Disney can wait. Others can’t and won’t wait. They’ll take the risk for it. I don’t understand it, but they don’t understand my point of view either. They think someone like me is just going to live under a rock forever.

You’re free to do whatever you want to but I’m not sure why you feel the need to be insulting to those of us who have chosen not to engage in what medical experts deem to be a very risky activity.

Just because we made the decision not to visit a theme park in a state with record setting covid cases, doesn’t mean we don’t trust ourselves to leave our homes.

Thank you.

The narrative that you’re brave if you go and live life as normal and scared if you limit is ridiculous.

Exactly.

Wishing you and hubby a great staycation! We visited, but didn't stay there and were astonished of how gorgeous the grounds are. Enjoy!!!

So interesting the posts that are allowed to stay up here and the ones that get deleted.

Have a good 4th, all!

We loved the Riviera when we stayed there in February. I hope you have a great time! And that is indeed a wonderful view.

I have late August park reservations. I'm waiting to see what happens when the parks open. If Disney will enforce their rules especially regarding mask wearing and wearing it correctly (no noses sticking out,etc.) I'll be there. If not, I'll have to think about it.

 

[LSUmiss]

Isn’t this exactly what is so scary about a place like WDW opening right now? The number of people who do not fear the virus and have a seemingly blasé attitude about it.

No I think it’s the opposite that ppl are way too fearful of it. It’s been said that before it’s all over 80% of the world’s population will get it. We just don’t want everyone to get it a the time & overwhelm the healthcare system. So, personally I’m not living my life in fear of something I can’t control. I will follow guidelines & take precautions, but that’s all I can do.

Yup. I’m cautious and I pay attention to medical experts who have no axe to grind or are biased. I believe them and try to follow the guidelines they suggest. That doesn’t make me scared.

As always use the report feature to have a post reviewed. It’s a holiday after all. I’m not constantly checking everything like normal.

 

[Leigh L]

Hope you have a Happy 4th @rteetz! Thanks for all you do!

True, it’s better to look at the work of the health and safety personnel who will be keeping WDW safe and the government officials who consider it safe to be open when people make their decision.

I understand your view. I just find it difficult to get clarity from public health personnel & govt officials. Not going OT into politics but there are big issues with how info is parsed these days
For example, the quote I referee to from the mayor of Ft Lauderdale was in response to a question he was given on CNN. Basically the question was the Gov says FLA is safe. Why are you closing beaches? He ducked a direct answer, but basically threw the gov under the bus in saying being outside is good, being in large clusters is not
So how do I interpret this duality? In safe in a crowd at WDW, not safe in a crowd on a beach. Which btw has ostensibly way more room to social distance. Again everyone is free to interpret as they see fit. But it’s tough to just say trust officials when they are so I don’t know, inconsistent?
I’m sure WDW, UO, SW and everyone else is of course doing everything they can to have it be safe. Why wouldn’t they? But they have a financial need to open that supersedes, for them, my health concerns. There is nothing wrong however in me putting my health concerns over their bottom line is there?
Be well. If you are going I wish you safe happy travels...

Just an update on resort TS from Riviera Toppolino’s, they require online check in and it can be done 30 min before your reservation. There is a waiting area and you are required to wear masks in the waiting area even if you’re the only one in it

Man they really don't want APs in the parks, huh??
