Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[SMRT-1]

Didn’t they declare bankruptcy not too long ago?

Yes, but they got bought out, and until now, it had been up in the air as to whether the new owners would keep the Disney locations open.

The founders of Ample Hills

I know we are being encouraged to use mobile check in at the resorts, but I typically get our buttons (we always go during someone’s bday or our anniversary) when we check in at the desk.
I’m not sure that I’ve seen it posted but are they still doing buttons at check in or no - to further encourage mobile?

I’d say do mobile check in, then maybe take a trip down to the lobby once you’re settled in and ask if they have the buttons. I’m sure they’d gladly give you one as its not an inconvenience. The mobile check in is mostly there so you’re not spending prolonged periods of time in the lobby with other guests and CMs while getting everything for the room settled

So sad to hear about Ample Hills. I loved getting a scoop of the Shirley Temple every evening when I stayed at the Boardwalk.

Sucks about Ample Hills. Disney will need to find an ample (er) replacement. Coldstone Creamery and Marble Slab Creamery - can you hear me?

I read, on the internet so it must be true, the Boardwalk location was Disney owned.
It wasn't a "friendly " sale. Bankruptcy sale.

Bob Iger helped the owners of Ample Hill develop their planning. Obtaining bank financing for their factory.

Oh no!!! No more Ooey Gooey Butter Cake!!!

Never had Ample Hills, but I was really looking forward to trying it when it opened at DS

This kind of messaging is a waste of time i
And manpower unless they are over staffer to the point of needing to find things to do.

People are either going to choose to wear a mask or not at this point. If they choose not, give them one warning then remove them.

Now launching my official campaign to BRING BACK SEASHORE SWEETS.

I don’t really want a chain ice cream sign on the Boardwalk again.

this is it exactly. If it reaches at least one person it will be worth it

I think this reminder is good in the festival situation, where there may be some more unintentional violations. Not like people sneaking them off in rides or who were purposely walking with food/drink for a mask break. The rule about eating/drinking wasn’t clear in the beginning and we all could predict issues with grazing and walking at the festival.

I think it’s a good reminder for people in that environment where someone may be finishing something but wanting to move on to the next booth without thinking.

I am definitely all for tossing the people who are intentionally violating the rules, but I think the extra reminders around the festival are good.

I see it the other way - I think it is a really good reminder to people that you are being watched and a reminder of what the specifics of what the requirement is - and is a nonconfrontational was for this to be addressed.

Won't stop everyone of course - and for some maybe they just stop while this CM is around and then go back to non-compliance - but I think it will help

It wont be Cold Stone if it was a new brand...they have a shop in City Walk.

managed to get a DHS park reservation for today. Yesterday I had an MK, used it, last night on a whim I decided to see if I could get another reservation and it let me and DHS was available so jumped on that. I'll be streaming from the park later for a walk around. Probably around 11am if anyone is interested in a look of crowds

Yes!! Perfect! Ben and Jerry's on the boardwalk would be amazing
