Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Mit88]

I never said she didn't have a right to be in the parks. She has every right to be in the parks. It just isn't good for one's own mental health to put yourself in a situation where you are wearing three masks at the same time to mentally allow yourself to get through the situation. That isn't normal sane behavior, it doesn't supply any additional health benefit and at that point is a hazard to your health.

She was just being extra cautious, and I don’t believe she was wearing 3 masks the entire day, I’m not entirely sure she even said she was wearing 3 masks at all.

I’m positive making this trip wasnt easy for her, or her husband to allow her to make. But its her job, and she loves Disney enough that she was willing to take the risk, but on her own terms. This is a very, very historic moment for the Disney parks. Theres a good chance that most people wont experience Disney the way it is yesterday, today, or tomorrow. If you know that you have the ability to take enough precautions to make it acceptable enough to make the trip, then you’re probably going to go, or at least think about it.

Fireworks are so expensive, and I’m not sure that’s its doom and gloom to think they may keep them gone longer than they need to from a safety perspective (because I think if they wanted to have them and distance people appropriately even now they could figure out a way), if the addition of them isn’t going to cause an uptick in spending.

A morale booster to have Disney bring their nighttime shows back? Probably. But if the same amounts of people are staying away with and without fireworks what’s the benefit to Disney to spend all that?

I wonder what the procedure will be Saturday if people just show up without a reservation because they heard on the news that Disney is open, but they didn’t bother to see if there was anything else they needed to do. Also, what if an AP shows up without a reservation because they already made their allowable 3 for later on?

I am the same way with sanitizing things now. I plan on bringing loads of alcohol wipes with us into the park and will wipe everything down. That is normal precautious behavior in these times and not the kind of stuff I am referring to in any my previous comments about being so uncomfortable in the parks that you should just stay home.

Please don't do that. Even before this virus it was often difficult for people who legitimately need alcohol wipes for diabetic testing and other purposes to find them in the stores.

I’ve actually seen people wearing the two masks. My doctor told me she wears puts a surgical mask inside her more attractive and more comfortable cloth mask—kind of like a filter.

My thought is similar to yours about Epcot shows and Fantasmic. I think both would be doable. Now for the fireworks at MK, unfortunately I can see how that will be a different type of a challenge. With crowds being limited however hopefully creative minds will come up with a way they can bring them back by the end of the year. Logically, I am thinking (maybe more hoping than thinking) that they can have them all back by the time WDW celebrates its 50th anniversary.

I think they’ll be back by the 50th. They have just under 15 months. Thats plenty of time for this thing to either run its course, or for Disney to figure out a safe enough way to accomplish it. Fireworks are too big of a draw, especially at WDW for them to be gone for good without good reason. They’re gone right now for good reason. Disneyland on the other hand, they might be even more limited (when they come back) than they were before the parks closed down, but DL fireworks were always tough with the additional damage to the air quality out there and the wind they’d get

I was going to say this. Mask layering has been a thing done by medical professionals especially when PPE was harder to come by and needed to be reused.

I know Firework shows are super expensive, especially the Disney ones we've all come to know, but other Orlando theme parks are enticing visitors with the offer of fireworks...such as SeaWorld. This is likely to try to draw some of Disney's crowds who need a firework show or to possibly see a different theme park than they usually see, but I would not be surprised if Disney does not bring back Firework shows for the rest of 2020.

People have reported on other threads that they called the Florida hotline and were told that states will be removed and some added “soon”. Could impact a lot of people’s travel plans if true.

No offense to anyone, but do you honestly believe that a hotline knows what Desantis is going to do, that’s like listening to the bus drivers at Disney.

I had called that line a month ago or so asking for some clarification on "Tri-State Area" because it does mean different things to different people depending on who you ask.

Others then started reporting what they were being told by some of the staff they spoke to about possible changes to the states listed. Like I said there, I totally believe that's what they were told. But I will believe the changes when there is an announcement from the state or governor about it. Im sure the staff are speaking to the best of their knowledge but everything is subject to change right now.

Governor DeSantis press conference to be at 12:45 PM (or likely delayed), today.

I haven’t seen it here but I did see it in either the Disboards or DVC fan group on Facebook yesterday. I can’t remember which group it was. Someone had called the FL department of health and had been informed that they are adding/subtracting states this weekend. Others confirmed hearing the same.

This was the tread. Scroll down a little bit from my post and you should see it.

You sound so pleasant to be around.

Sorry for being realistic. I know its frowned upon in here.

But what condescending things will people here say towards Tri-State area residents still planning to go to Florida if the Tri-State area is subtracted from the banned list? I dont know if I’m ready for it to be peaceful.

In all seriousness, I doubt NY/NJ/CT is subtracted. Maybe Texas, California and Arizona are added

You said they would be "gone for good." They will not be.

People said that to every single parade that has been cut over the years.

If you can’t see the difference I don’t know what to tell you. It’s pretty pointless to keep debating this.

That Crazy Disney Lady is at MK right now live

Thank you!

Fireworks aren’t parades. Most theme parks have fireworks. Very few theme parks have parades. They build nighttime shows based around fireworks. HEA doesnt work as a light show. The light show compliments the fireworks.
