Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[andyman8]

There will be instances of noncompliance & another guest confronting another guests is just inappropriate & not gonna end well especially if you’re calling out someone else’s kid. The kid shoulda had the mask on & the dad should have behaved differently, but it’s also expected. I also don’t see understand how she was close to anyone on a bus? Every bus we have been on has been appropriately spaced. And the ventilation system is open at the top.

Out of curiosity, would you feel the same way if the noncompliance was, for example, in regard to the “no line-cutting” rule? I’ve seen many DISers quite proud to point out that they’d block families and parties trying to “join” other members of their family at the front of the line.

I happen to believe that if someone is potentially putting you at risk or in harm’s way then you have every right to politely ask them if they could do something differently. FWIW, when I was at the parks over the weekend, I did ask a few people if I could just have a bit more space and people were overwhelmingly gracious and even (needlessly) apologetic. I don’t think screaming at someone is an acceptable response.

Looks like still some issues coming out of DHS. Haven't heard much negativity coming out of MK, EP, or AK, which is great to see. Unless I have missed something?

DFB will send some people over to those 3 parks right away to fix that

Epcot seems to have some choke points with the indoor pavilions (Land, and Seas).

MK and AK have been doing really well save for isolated issues that have since been dealt with, I think. And then the ride exit issue that I would assume is across the board at all 4 parks that I’ve seen multiple people talk about.

DHS and EPCOT issues will be fixed throughout the week that MK have squared away. Unfortunately this isn’t exactly a situation that its comfortable saying “Oh, well it’ll get fixed soon”. These are dire situations that any issues at all are not good. But issues should have been expected all along, that doesn’t negate the issues as any less dangerous, but I couldn’t imagine even in a dream world where things would have been 100% perfect with these openings. Just isolate and fix the problems quickly and these tweets of criticism will go away

I’m really curious where we are at the end of the month. Increasing AP availability certainly indicates that initial crowds are lighter than they expected.

They could get really tough if they want. If the rules are you must wear mask on transportation - If anyone is caught removing their face mask on board the bus or other transportation (unless an emergency obviously), then they won't be allowed in the parks that day. And if happens at the end of the day, not allowed in parks the next day. I sure would't be taking my mask off! (not that I would anyways)

Too strict?

Seems kinda mild to be honest. I was thinking if its on a bus then just stop the bus and kick them out on the roadside.

Yes. I’ve been the “victim” of line-cutting & many other infractions by other guests in the parks & I have & would never confront another guest especially not someone else’s kid.

I was surprised when I checked at 10am that all of July is pretty much available now for APs (except DHS of course), and even more surprised that now at 1pm it's the same. Either they opened *thousands* of new pass spots, or there just aren't even APs that want to visit. I'm a little confused tbh, I expected all the new spots would be gone in a flash this morning.

Question about buses - are you allowed to get up and stand if there's room? Or did they nix that for now?

I hate confrontation anyway, but if I didn't feel safe along with not being able to physically move, not sure what to do.

I also hate confrontation, but it’s a public safety issue now. Another reason why I would not be using WDW transportation.

For sure - even though I hate having to go through TTC for MK, we're driving to all parks. Even Uber is out of the question now, and we used to use them a lot after resort dining.

For anyone worried about people close to you without a mask on I ask, How are you going to feel about small children? If my almost 2 year old starts coughing or something are you going to look at him and me like piranhas?

When you’re putting people’s health and safety at risk with violating rules, that changes the “rules” of the game and whether it’s proper to confront other guests. This is a major factor in why Disney needs to be ultra strict, if they don’t step in guests will absolutely be confronting each other. Sometimes it will be fine, other times it will escalate.

I feel like both things can be true, people should go expecting to be exposed on some level and that others will be breaking rules, but people should also not go if they do not intend on following the rules 100% of the time.

We all know the ultimate punishment for not abiding by the mask rule is to allow the violators into MK but permanently bar them from riding the Carpets of Aladdin. Permanently.

Not everyone has the means to either rent a car, or bring their own car, but you couldn’t pay me to take a Disney bus. I’d walk from Poly to Animal Kingdom before I’d take a bus again. And that was before the pandemic. Taking a bus took 2+ hours out of your day between waiting at your resort to catch the bus, riding the bus, and waiting after the parks close for the bus. Now it’s more of a time consuming transportation option, and theyre petri dish’s. Nope. Nope. Nope. No thanks
