Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Brianstl]

Looks like the parks are pretty busy this morning.

Waiting for a bus to Epcot outside Jambo House. Only two other groups waiting so getting on first bus shouldn't be an issue!

ETA: I was wrong. Ppl already on bus so have to wait for next one. Wait time boards aren't working but driver said they have four buses running this loop so should be here soon.

Still waiting. Multiple buses for all other parks have come and gone. Grr.

Hope no one wanted to ride this in October/early November...

Another busy day at Universal. Waits are a lot longer than Disney.

Trying to get into Disney springs and it's absolutely a madhouse. They only orange garage open. Absolutely ridiculous.


The traffic is backed up at least three miles

Unknown. I don’t even think we’ve seen the new COVID menu yet?

Personally I think it will because no characters. (Chef Mickey dropped without the characters so not unprecedented.)

Yeah. Forgot about Chef Mickeys dropping in price.
I think I'm going to try to snag a reservation for Royal Table if it's cheaper.

Universal at capacity again.

Universal at capacity again.

Looking at the wait times about 45 minutes ago, knew it was only a matter of time

DHS is fully booked for all 3 buckets through next Sunday

and I think they wouldn't need to drop it a ton, as getting to eat in the Castle is still part of the specialness of this. But $75 for dinner / $62 for breakfast with no characters is a lot. Drop that to $55 / $42 and I bet people would be ok paying that

‘So many noses

I can make out three. The couple with their masks pulled down and one other guy with nose barely peeking out. I'm not saying that's ok, but I just don't see "so many."

A $42 breakfast inside the castle isn't *that* far off of Be Our Guest pricing. Would be a fun way to see the space without feeling like a weirdo.

Here are some wait times I saw posted.

They are higher than we have seen but not bad for a "normal" holiday weekend ... BUT not sure about waiting this long on top of shorter hours, not fireworks, no parades, no meet & greets, no shows, etc.

When the biggest "selling point" is the short wait times, I think it doesn't take much for them to feel "too long"

If this were to continue I think they’d have to add hours or at things to do. By all indications though this is mainly this weekend only.

 

[Mit88]

The wait times would be much longer with FP. Navi and Falcon are probably the only 2 I wouldn’t consider waiting in line for at those times, personally. The others I would, and have

 

[Brianstl]

Those wait times aren’t great, but considering it is the first holiday weekend since reopening they aren’t awful.

Not at all. It only sucks because park hours are only 10 hours, so to have multiple hour plus long lines isn’t ideal. But its still easily doable to get everything done, especially with no shows

I feel way worse for the people at Universal this weekend where the *shortest* wait times are comparable to the *longest* ones at WDW.

If this were to continue it would prove to Disney that people are willing to pay full prices for a reduced experience. They can continue to cut hours and expenses without having to worry about impacting revenue.

Imagine having to wait 75 minutes for Red Fish Blue Fish when you can wait 20 minutes for a far superior ride in Magic Carpets of Aladdin
