Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Dulcee]

Seems like many if not most of the MK rides are closed today.

Where did you get that idea? Aside from meet and greets the only ride I saw closed in someone’s live stream was the people mover

um no.

Introverted solo guest here dreaming of my own car lol!

I often go solo or in a group of 3 so I am always preparing myself for those instances where I expect to share a ride vehicle however once a woman jumped into my Buzz vehicle even though the CM had not directed her there (they never pair me with a stranger on that or Toy Story Mania) and it was the most awkward ride of my life.

 

[KayMichigan]

um no.

Well, they said Country Bears, People Mover and Winnie the Pooh are closed. I've never seen Pooh closed before.

When you’re trying to open one of the most popular theme parks in the world in an area and country that are seeing major spikes during a pandemic, strict “unreasonable” rules are a need.

It’s unfortunate there will always be people too stubborn and selfish to see that. I’m glad Disney (from what we know at this point) does not seem to be pandering to the type of people who are stubbornly refusing to keep others safe, and I hope we continue to see that.

Whatever the rules are I’m fine with. I’m assuming wdw did their research. But, as far as worrying about every little minuscule way you can possibly catch it like the aforementioned “vortex” is just hysteria imo.

I would be way too creeped/weirded out if I was a solo guest on some of these rides. I think I would skip Splash entirely, and is Pirates alone? Forget that .

That would be sooo awkward on Buzz!
We had that happen on Pooh. It was weird for us, but the poor woman that jumped in with us (leaving her party behind) looked so uncomfortable!

Pooh is open. @yulilin3 rode this morning on live stream.

Just saw on the main section on this board, someone posted a CM was denied from wearing a gaiter because it didn't have ear loops

I'm still seeing lot of gaiters. I guess best to bring another type just in case but people are definitely wearing them.

Winnie the Pooh is open.

I thought I saw reports that they would be cleaning rides every two hours. Perhaps that is why we are seeing/hearing about rides being "closed". Could also explain sudden jumps of wait times as well. With MK opening at 9, sometime between 10:30 and 11:30 is when I assume they would start doing these on a rolling basis.

Do we know yet if they’ve made any changes to the Pirates queue?

You said........................................"Seems like many if not most of the MK rides are closed today. "

Those 3 attractions dont classify as Many

Huh? Pretty much everything is open.

Pooh the ride is open, but the play area is not open

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Interesting to see the wait times - wondering if some are due to some rides being much more capacity reduced than others. Like Space Mountain is only 5 minutes and Peter Pan is only 15, but the Tea Cups are 20 mins

Just cancelled our trip for July 15th -24th today. Sad and, after all of the work (all ADRs and FP cancelled, then park reservations) and all the time spent on these boards, I am just exhausted. My wife and I are teachers and we so look forward to our Disney summers. My son graduated HS and is heading to college (hopefully) and this was our last trip with him as a "kid". We did everything to justify leaving NY and going; the 15% positive rate just made it feel "wrong" for us...too much risk for a reduced experience. To those that do get to go, I wish you well. Stay safe and please be responsible, both on property and when you return home. The last thing Disney needs is to be blamed for any spread beyond Orange County. ✌

Too much risk for a reduced experience...I am right there with you, exactly as we feel. So sorry you had to pull the plug. Wish 2020 would just go away already...

I didnt realise that florida wasn't an elevator! So I wonder what they will do at disneyland and DLP?

There were social distancing markers on @yulilin3 livestream earlier but no plexiglass that I could tell.

Poohs been closed before. I only know this because we had FP+ for it when my daughter was 1 and we couldn’t go on it because it was closed. We were able to use those FP for another ride (except SDMT and talking Mickey)!
