Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[gottalovepluto]

Glad to see Disney is pressing charges. No excuse for this behavior. Guests are repeatedly informed about the mask mandate.

The Security Guard is pressing charges, not Disney’s call.

I think we will not know when Disney lifts capacity restrictions. They will just do it.

But first they have to fill what they have now which they are having a hard time doing.

I have feeling if Florida numbers keep declining we might actually see Disney being a little busy for this Holiday season.

Yeah, makes me happy though to hear things are at least starting to open back up. I mean the Governor seems to be onboard, or actually pushing for it. No doubt given Florida's dependance on tourism.

Governer was always on board. He was never an issue to anything Disney wanted to do.

Rteetz, this is off topic (sorry) but I know we have some Louisiana/Texas based longtime posters in this thread and I just want to say that I hope you are all staying safe tonight and tomorrow.

We were at Magic Kingdom on Saturday and did 23 attractions, plus two meals and a Dole Whip break. The only things we weren't able to fit in were Tom Sawyer's Island, Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, and Mickey's Philharmagic. I think if we'd hurried and if we'd planned our route more strategically we could have done everything. I kind of want to try.

So far I’m liking the park reservation system, I know that’s not a common theme right now. But I am extremely interested to see how it will work once full park hopping is back. Will the magicbands/MDE know the second you leave one park and you’ll be able to book the next? Or will it eventually evolve into you selecting your entry and exit times ahead of time, allowing you to book multiple parks for 1 day we’ll ahead of time. Example, booking MK from open-3pm and then booking Epcot from 3-close and being able to do that at the 3, 6, whatever month mark.

Yikes. This is something that I think makes total sense right now but would significantly adversely affect the way my WDW vacations work if it sticks around long after the other pandemic restrictions are behind us.

I know everyone gets the Disney feels from this fella... but I‘m thinking that opinion is gonna change in a few months...

I will be annoyed but I’d be fine with it if PH was allowed.

Right. I think we all believe park hopping will be back in the future, and they must have a plan in place to utilize the park reservation system with park hopping. I’m just interested to see how they handle it.

Light rumors Disneyland will allow PH. The Flex AP for DLR does so the basics of the IT infrastructure for it should exist for Disney.

I mean, the reservations blends right into their specific day pricing. It doesn’t mean you can’t walk up to the ticket booth, buy tickets, and walk in. It gives them at least a little bit of a heads up on what crowds may look like. It doesn’t impede on park hopping either. I don’t see this as a bad thing, at all. If everyone was ok booking dinner 180 days in advance, this is no different. Once capacity increases and gets back to normal, this is a non issue

geographically it makes sense. I think the reason WDW doesn’t have it is because of the transportation load. If everyone was driving a car and there were no buses or boats, I think park hopping would be available. You can walk from DL to CA, like you can walk from Universal to Islands of adventure

Another thing to plan 3-6 months out...

Except this is something, at least when capacity is back to normal, that you can change without having to worry you’ll lose it if you decide you want to change your mind again the day of. This just gives them an idea of what they can expect.

I arrive next week and will be doing 9 days of Sea World/Busch Gardens/Universal/Space Center and then the next 9 days Disney. We will also have a car so might hop to Sea World the 2nd week in the evenings since Disney is closing so early.

Make sure to check Kennedy Space Center’s site ahead of time for tickets! In June, we got almost half price tickets that came with a return ticket to come back in 2021 when everything’s completely open! Playgrounds and interactive exhibits were closed.

Yikes. This is something that I think makes total sense right now but would significantly adversely affect the way my WDW vacations work if it sticks around long after the other pandemic restrictions are behind us.

I think more than hopping, I miss the park on arrival day most. I don’t want to waste one of my 3 precious AP days for the few hours we’ll get in the day we arrive. Granted, with early closing that’s not much, but hours will extend again. I’d be 100% fine with Park Pass if we off property APs could book a week. If we can’t pick up a rolling day while we’re down there, Universal gets our lunch money for the day.

I don’t mind the park reservation system. However as capacity increases and crowds pick up they gotta bring back some version of FP. And make park hopping available again.

So there are TWO of us? Sweet!

three )

I mind the reservation system because I sometimes visit the park on a whim or will visit MK just to see the fireworks then leave
