Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[rteetz]

That is an earth shattering and hugely impactful story. Thank you sooooo much

You’re very welcome. It’s part of theme park operational updates.

People are traveling where I live. Most of of my friends have gone somewhere this summer, and many others. But none of them are going to Disney/Universal like they many had planned, they are going elsewhere.

Same here.

It is rather Pollyanna ish to think you can discuss Disney’s missteps In regards to operational updates due to Coronavirus without discussing the climate they operate in.
and discussions about Mulan, food items and people’s travel habits in general are on topic? Cmon.
Not sure what your motive is in singling out the innocuous statement I made regarding timing/process of reopening. Whatever.

I like to think I’m pretty transparent in how I moderate. I also don’t single people out. The post you made wasn’t the only removed and certainly won’t be the last.

Construction resumes at Guardians

I went to EPCOT last Thursday July 23rd and you could hear people working inside the building. This may be the first case people are SEEING the workers outside but they have been there at least a week or more.

I like to think rteetz and I are secretly best friends and he just deletes my posts here and there so no one else catches on.

That, or I go off topic at times and need to be reigned in.

I for one, definitely appreciate the info. I'm getting a little concerned there may be no ppl. mover or CoP (family favorites) for our upcoming trip . Hoping we get lucky though.

Ditto! Both are favs for my family as well. Already accepted it's likely TTA not this trip, but hoping whatever is going on with CoP is minor.

Not sure if this was posted yet, sorry if it was. Since her time at Disney was discussed so much, here’s Carlye Wisel’s article...

Good read.

I, myself, am okay with them being open. It's a personal decision for people to go or not go. Someone will bring up the argument about the workers who don't want to go back because they are afraid- which yes, that's bad, but then what about the workers that do want to go back? I don't know. I can't solve that issue.

I said earlier, I really think where you live and what your daily experience is makes your opinion sway one way or the other. Seeing people out so much here (which may very well change if numbers go up) makes Disney being open seem okay (?) to me.
But I'm surrounded by people. Literally, my neighbors on both sides have parties all the time. All the time. And all the restaurants/cafes are full all the time.

So I'm ready to go. Next May. I'm sure I will be called naive , but I expect all of us and WDW to be in a much better position with this virus by then.

I think there is something at play here. As you may recall I am one of those termed as being “afraid to go anywhere” on this board. It’s ok. I admit that for personal reasons I won’t bore you with I am rather cautious these days
But I do go to stores, socially distant gatherings in my hood, local outdoor restaurants and even my local pool club
But I am dead set against traveling anywhere. If I go somewhere local and am uncomfortable I can turn around and come home. But traveling somewhere and being away from my sterile comfort zone for a prolonged stay? Just not doing it right now

I'm not sure what you mean by "something is at play here."

As to the rest, you do you!

So basically what you're saying here is CoP is definitely closed forever and is being rethemed as we speak.

Yeah, but that is what best friends are for

Isn't this the rumors and news board? Where we report rumors?
I dont see the issue with reporting rumors for people to discuss.
If we only post facts, we need to change name of board.

We're going to vacation but here's the thing - we were planning to fly to Disney World. Now we're going to drive to an oceanfront beach house in NC (for less than a stay at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, which is not on an actual beach). Other than the occasional bathroom stop on the way down and back, we plan to encounter 0 other people the entire time we are there. That's pretty hard to do at WDW.

Same—we went to Florida last week. We drove (we even have travel camping toilet we used instead of rest stops because the rest stops were crazy packed), rented a house with a private pool, did curbside pickup of groceries at Publix, walked on the beach early morning and were gone by 930, and didn’t go out to eat. The closest we got to a person was to pay a toll.

I’m intrigued. Tell me more
