Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

We’re at HS. We got into the park around 9:30, got on MFSR and then off at 9:54. Found a spot to try for a boarding group. We got BG 14. Stopped for a quick snack and drink and are doing MFSR again. I don’t know what BG they’re at or what to expect for a return time.

Were other rides open early?

Grats on getting a BG for the first slots. Seems a lot of people have been having issue with the app that were trying to get BGs. First day kinks that I'm sure will be worked out. Let us know if they are skipping any of the pre-ride parts for RoTR if you can!

It might just be me, but getting more people in there just doesn't seem like the best idea at the moment.

I believe they are lining up for guest experience team help. I’ve seen issues with not being able to select your party and stuff like that. It seems day 1 is not going all that well on that front.

Ah I got you. Haven’t been to the Edge yet, didn’t realize that was protocol.

you walk down by RNRC (so like under the guitar entrance) and it is down there - past the entrance for RNRC. We've done it twice and actually really enjoy it - the Lightening animatronic is pretty cool. It's not an "e-ticket" or anything, but the type of thing I think DHS needs more of

It was down the one time we attempted it when we had my nephew there last September. Good thing he was already past his Cars obsession at that point.

I’m not sure. The MMRR line didn’t appear to be moving.

Well this is crazy. Nothing to do in the whole park without waiting an hour. Star Tours says 5 but the queue spills all the way out side of the queue entrance.

*edit slinky just reopened to a 20 minute wait. That should help the crowds some.

 

[yulilin3]

Were they letting people in before 10 am? That explains why MMRR was a two hour wait right at open!

Yes right away

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Only seen it post from a site we can't post here but looks like the IG entrance to EPCOT is using the contactless security screening, so that is good

The app didn't have my name st time of booking. GR manager tells me to try at 1 bit if rotr has major technical issues they won't open the 1 or 4pm slots

Which I would be much less concerned about missing it today if not for the fact that DHS is going to possibly next to impossible to book in the coming months. This could conceivably be our only trip for a while. Especially since my wife will only be able to go for a boarding group on the weekends after this month.

It’s still not that big a deal since we’ve been so many times. But this day is just not shaping up like we hoped for our favorite park. There are clearly more people than at the previews or they need to open Rise to standby to get rid of some of the capacity in the park. I thought we’d at least be able to walk on ToT as much as we wanted.

So people who had issues just went to the ride anyway? Space is very limited we already know that.

Disney typically has guest experience CMs stationed out there.
