Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

No that closed when Innoventions closed.

Bummer, while I knew everything else had closed I guess I blocked out Colortopia being part of it. It was one of DD's favorite things at the park. I'll have to warn her it's gone.

The only thing that has seemed lacking to me are the sit down restaurants. I never realized I’d miss the crowds there, but I do. Just seems odd to eat so isolated. However, I haven’t felt this way with the lounges, just the more formal restaurants. Also, the sit down restaurants in the parks haven’t necessarily felt as empty, mostly just the resort ones.

Which lounges have you been to/would you recommend? I saw that our favorite, Brown Derby lounge, isn’t serving food anymore...and another favorite, Nomad Lounge, drastically cut its menu. We love the lounges, much more casual and no need for adr’s.

Fl has no contact tracing so people just would not know for sure. Media would not cover people claiming they got it at disney with no proof because they know disney would probably take legal action.

I believe that media will jump at a story like that. Basically anything that includes "Disney" in the headline brings in readers or clicks. Its very easy to write a story that is factual but doesn't run to slander. Legally the media would be fine.

Hard to find a bigger fan of the Skyliner than me - but I really wanted sh they would start service earlier (this goes back to even before all the Covid stuff).

Is it better to take the bus or the skyliner in the morning to the parks?

Well the resorts have been open for nearly a month and the parks for about two weeks (with previews) and I don’t recall anyone on these boards mention that they have started to feel ill after their visit.

I think there are enough people that read these boards such that they are a representative sample of visitors in general.

It’s almost certain there will be some cases that pop up after people make a trip to WDW and it will be hard to determine whether they were infected while at Disney or at the airport, gas station, etc. But, that is true of almost anywhere right now, especially in the southern states.

I was going to add that that we check out today. I’ll update everyone in 14 days.

That's a good point, but how does anyone quantify if those that didn't feel ill after two weeks were asymptomatic and passed it onward after their visit? So while some (including myself after visiting HS in March) could have unwillingly and unknowingly spread it to others if I understand the logistics correctly.

Drive v Bus a hard call. That does not look remotely fun.

Apparently it’s much better later in the day. I would not be rope dropping right now.

When we go next year we definitely plan to start our days (most, I'm sure we'll open a couple parks) after opening- leaving for the park after it's been open for at least an hour. I was already worried about bus service at Gran Destino!

Test Track is open 20 minutes early you guys... OMG!!!

edit: ok, I think they just let us que early. Still nicer to be in the AC than outside waiting.

Sheesh! With the new entry procedures only reason I would hit a park first thing would be for a ROTR BP. Other than that sleep in and stay away from that craziness. (And accept it will be stupid hot Because it’s FL. In July.)

It was very quick and painless when it started moving. If you can drive to Epcot, drive.

you're sitting in your car, it isn't bad at all. Worse to me would be waiting for a bus, plus they park you super close to the entrance first thing so the walk from the buses to the entrance is roughly the same
