Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

DeSantis just mentioned that he was "going to be doing something with the airlines that service florida" soon...what could that mean???

Maybe some sort of tax break or incentive

notice how Disney reps are the only ones wearing their masks all the time not saying that the safety guidelines are not enforced the same in all 3 but I just find that interesting

Ugh... stuck on RoTR... ive done it before but it still sucks to get stuck. Im stuck before the actual ride but after preshow.

All three major theme park companies said they are seeing mainly drive markets but its not just Florida residents visiting. They are seeing out of state travelers. Jim from Disney said they are seeing decent occupancy.

Noticed that too. The Universal exec keeps taking his on and off. Disney is on the whole time.

He needs a vacation and wants free airfare?

Sorry...but masks are the reason I won't go back..yes I would like park hopping, fireworks etc to come back...but I just won't spend that kind of money for a vacation and have to wear a mask. Right now I'm planning on cancelling my Dec trip and will wait until 2022.

I said some won’t come back with masks being mandatory. But I believe the majority would be more willing to come down with the other experiences back and just deal with having to wear a mask.

Lol I thought the same thing. Dig the knife deeper

You have to believe sooner rather than later Disney will bring back the fireworks in some way.

I really think in some way or form by the end of the year.

My personal opinion, I think they’ll bring them back at Epcot first to test the waters before MK. Maybe it’ll be this year towards the latter end, but I believe they’re working on ways to bring them back (not on demand in your room) in a way that even if social distancing is a must next summer/fall, they’ll have developed a safe way for them to be viewed in the parks

One thing I don't think many people realize is these major theme park companies while competitors do work together. SeaWorld and Disney just speaking about animal care and that both companies worked on animal care throughout the closure and did work together on aspects.

I love how they are all like "we are competitors but we rely on each other"

They need to first work on their constant need to change flight schedules. Mine was changing so often I could hardly keep track, then they had me arriving so late I might as well fly in the next day making one whole park day unusalbe on an already short trip, so I cancelled and will drive down. No one wants to book and then have all their plans upended by schedule changes, or the sky high (pun intended) costs they're charging for a lot of flights. At least I have an option to drive, it's only 6.5 hours, but if I lived far enough away that it wasn't a good choice I might not want to visit if the airlines made it increasingly more difficult to get to Orlando.
