Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[AmberMV]

Royal Caribbean Earnings call for 2nd Quarter on Monday August 10. Should be interesting to see how badly cruise lines are being affected.

It's possible some of the restaurants may have new ownership, names, etc, but this article is a bit hyperbole.

The restaurants will re-open when the crowds return.

We haven't had a Florida numbers report in a while. Worse, same, better?

They’re not rising, at least not above their peaked numbers a few weeks ago, which typically means they’re trending down. Not that its even close to “safe”, its still seems to be a trend in the right direction currently. I’m guessing thats why the numbers havent been reported. Where’s the fun in posting a downtrend? Same reason you’re not seeing the media continuously report on how well Disney’s protocols have been

Nothing remarkably different yet. It takes about 2 weeks of data to see any real trend

Status quo as far as I've seen on the local WDW/Orange+ County news.

Here is a graph of Fl from the charts I watch

That’s what I’ve seen. Cases peaked right around Disney’s reopening. But there are 100 different charts to fill everyone’s narrative for everything cases/hospitalizations/deaths. If we’re looking at another 2-3 weeks until they get to a more flattened chart, it’ll be close to 2 months from climb, to the bottom of the descent, around the same time that it took New York City. I definitely didnt think it would take nearly this long for the full process to play out

I actually did post part of the report yesterday iirc as we had the lowest % positive (8.34%) that we've had in a LONG time, as a reason to hope things are getting better, so the good news is still coming out but I wouldn't call it all good news as we are still losing quite a few people every day

I did think it would take this long. Its all cause of how little measures Florida put in place.

And Michigan

Kansas too...

You’re only as strong as your weakest county(s). Florida hasn’t been on the same page county to county during this entire thing, and because of that, this thing ran rampant. It was unavoidable because certain businesses opened up that shouldnt have been as quickly as they were (bars), but it could have significantly been slowed had the mask mandate been in effect since April like it has in much of the country

Park reservation passes after Labor Day are showing shorter hours. Is this a glitch or are they going to be cutting hours? Anyone hear anything? I’m hoping a glitch.
AK - 9-5
MK - 9-6
Epcot - 11-7
HS 10-7

Doubt it's a glitch. This is in response to cost/profits

There would practically nowhere to eat at a normal dinner hour besides resorts with limited transportation and Disney Springs. Ughhhhh

Interesting they're opening AK and MK at the same time. I thought those were staggered to help with transportation distribution? Maybe since they're at opposite ends of property, and have some trends from being open, that's not a concern.

Maybe they've noticed there's not a lot of people coming in at the morning at AK, so won't make a difference?

App is still showing the same as current park hours for dates following Labor Day.

Yep, all of our reservations for Thanksgiving week have the new hours, it's sad but maybe DH and I can get enough time in the parks (no kids to slow us down this trip lol) and we won't need those extra 1-2 hours. Still not thrilled about it, but I know it's better than some other measures they could take.

just probably haven't updated it. My park passes I had Sept 23-25 showes those times that just got posted.

Yeah the hours are the same but all my reservation passes are showing shorter hours. I wonder if they just haven’t updated the calendar yet (or still hoping glitch)
