Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[chicagoshannon]

I'm all for increasing park capacity as long as they increase ride capacity. If they aren't increasing ride capacity there will a lot of unhappy people with the shortened hours especially!

 

[jpeterson]

she's almost never here, she sends people to take pics of the food and taste them and then she does the voiceover in Texas

Yup, I'm sure she visits often, but she has mentioned in articles and videos before that she has local photographers and reporters that do the day to day updates.

Will this just happen or will they let people know capacity is being upped? Or has it already started?

It appears they are increasing for Labor Day weekend but we don’t know for sure.

Ya that was my main concern.

Here's my pessimistic post for the day
Does anyone else feel like Disney is becoming a big shopping mall with a really expensive cover charge?
I first started feeling this way with the opening of Star Wars land but with the recent Covid stuff they really seem to be pushing the merch, or did I just not notice it so much before? I guess they need to pull in as much revenue as possible ... on a good note very happy to see fall decorations going up, awesome!

I feel like people WANT to see what themed food and Merch is out there. It helps ramp up the excitement. There are so many Uber planners that just love to plan and immerse themselves in Disney. I’m not even planning a trip and I loved reading about the fall themed food and merchandise... now I want me some apple cider!
About the quality, well I can’t speak to that, we have only ever been there in the fall once and never for Christmas. And aren’t big souvenir buyers except for Christmas tree ornaments.

Looks like MMRR and Rise are both currently down.

The “line” stopped “moving” around 20 minutes after 10. So it almost immediately went down, if they even opened it at all

remember you can ask for a recovery fast pass, no need to wait in line to see when they reopen

Now this is a hot tip!

lol, this has always been available, last time I was at DHS I got in line at rope drop for MMRR, while in line got bg 2. I was about to board MMRR when it closed, I asked for fp recovery, went to RotR since my BG had been called almost immediately, about to board, it went down, asked for a fp recovery. Went out, did the 3 attractions at TSLand by then MMRR was back up, rode it without waiting more than 5 min, over to RotR, was put through the fp queue so I didn't have to do the regular queue again, did it in less than 5 minutes.

AJ doesn't appear (never shows her face) on DFB....and their food pics are typically just the food.

Since people here seem to be interested in her..I remember when this was first shown but has since been edited, she was on camera making the lunch box tarts and her face was shown..you can still almost see her face ..about half way thru.

So my boarding group wouldn’t have had to have been called to ask for a recovery? We were going to take about a 2 hour break around 1:30 but didn’t know if we should leave just in case our BG got called while we were back at the Poly

Hopefully Minnie will be back up by the time we finish Star Tours and going on Muppets. Doubt we’ll get on Rise despite boarding group with it being down so far this morning. At least we come back in November and can try again then.

MMRR is back up
