Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Well if I was allowed to come from the uk i would still come - call me mad etc but from what I’ve seen today I’d feel safer there than I do in many places in my own country

So is that still better than people congregating in front of the castle or on main st waiting for their fp window?

I'm a bit confused why you asked me this question based on my post.

This actually looks very nice. My one complaint about BOG is that it always feels very crowded and like I’m eating with the party beside me.

I ordered these a couple of days ago, they should arrive later this week!
This brand on Amazon doesn't arrive until mid to late August when I first tried to order them. There are other brands on Amazon but I read some good - and bad - reviews about those. Since I keep seeing this brand positively mentioned here and other reviews were good, decided to give those a try and ordered directly

I just double checked on amazon for this brand because I was looking at them and there is a drop down box for color selections. The first couple selections aren’t available until mid-August but there are some that will arrive in three days. I made a selection that will be here Friday July 10th.

Has anyone seen if the pin trading boards are up?

Ferry is handled in an interesting way. They make you choose between upper and lower level and they first load upper. There are markings on thr floor and you choose where to stand. They unload lower first. Very efficient

Are they using hand held temp scanners or do they have the thermo one you stand beneath?

I did see one picture, they took of someone far in the distance of not having their mask on. It was like they were actively looking, and found someone in that split second. I mean, I know when I've been to DS or Universal, I would pull my mask down for a split second just to get air if no one was around me

Disney Parks Paparazzi. They’ll hide out in the bushes for hours to get that one picture that will set Twitter ablaze

Not sure what exactly why, but ever since the closedown, I haven't liked DFB at all

I think for me it is the fact that they have been doing basically the same Six or seven videos for years now.

Apparently the 1920s John animatronic in Carousel of Progress malfunctioned today, there's footage on Twitter if you search for 'Carousel of Progress'. It started flailing around wildly. Hope they can get it fixed soon!

If possible, when you return can you find out how the ferry works in the morning heading to the MK? Is it loading as early as the monorails do? I've been looking for reports from anyone who took the ferry this morning, but can't find any. Thanks so much! I so enjoyed your livestream today!

My wife showed me this video put to some head banging music and it was hilarious. Someone commented that he must have had a little too much sasparilla.

It’s like someone just told him why nobody was there for 4 months.

I was waiting for Beavis to join in. The dog's timing is spectacular.

agreed.

I guess they should never go to a grocery store ever either.

Been to Universal 3 times since reopen, Disney Springs 3 times, and I felt safer/more spread out there then any grocery store, etc i've been to

I would think the difference is though, you don't spend all day at the grocery store. And you definitely don't do it for several days in a row, like you would at a theme park on vacation. I do agree the average experience at any point in time during the day is probably better than at the grocery with the great unmasked masses, but length of time you're there adds up and so does the number of people you're exposed to. My thought about crowds and bunching is sure, you can avoid them if you see them from the outside, but sometimes they form around you. Then what? You can bail, but is pushing past people to get out safer than staying put where you are? And then there's the sunk cost of the time and effort you put in to be in your spot. It's not fair that other people not paying attention are making it less safe for you to be where you are, so of course the instinct is to not want to lose that time. But you've already lost it, so you have to choose between risking your health and getting on the ride. This all makes me think the parks are better left to locals or at least those who can take or leave any given attraction and not much care.

☹ I wish I could watch them!! I am probably one of the few people in the world that does not have Facebook!

I don’t have Facebook either
