Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[tlmadden73]

Yeah I think people want to start moving more. They will have to do so with restrictions for now at least. Disney certainly isn't going to be one to relax things first.

Oh for sure ..

No matter what you think about the seriousness of the virus .. once you have these restrictions in place for this long, you can't just drop them overnight without some serious PR issues. Perception matters. That's why all the governments are slow rolling the roll back of these restrictions. I mean .. realistically .. is it any safer now to eat in a restaurant or go to a gym now than it was back in April? Not really, .. by number of daily cases/deaths alone in some states, it is statistically worse, yet states all over are slowly lifting restrictions -- some states (like Florida) just lifted them earlier than others.

Like I said earlier, we should just be thankful they are open AT ALL. I am thankful we can even discuss the restrictions they have and rejoice when every little thing (discounts, Savi's, opening of Casey's) happens to move us closer to normal.

I am sure plenty of us will have great Halloween and Christmas trips despite the restrictions! Just, like many, anxious to get there.

No poor wording on my part. I'll clean up my post.

New York got crushed. If Orlando gets hit like that, Disney would shutdown again.

They kind of did. Maybe not Orlando. But considering the layouts of both states, you could argue that both states got hit equally as hard, regardless of the resulting numbers. Orlando, or any city in Florida isnt set up the way NYC, or nearly as populated and dense. The dense population in NYC is why it spread as quickly and furiously.

NYC is MK at max capacity.
Orlando is MK at current capacity.

and it’s not even Friday!!

Bad news is relegated to Friday’s.

Today - APs get 30%
Friday - APs can now only get 2 parks reservations per month

Can anyone tell me if Main Street is still opening an hour before scheduled park time opening?

And is the monorail running from the Contemporary to MK? (Was thinking of doing a Chef Mickey breakfast since it may be the only time we can eat there without hordes of sticky buffet kids running around ).

Yes

Mk is opening around 8:25, the entire park not just ms. The rides could open early or wait until 9

And thats assuming there is ever going to be a vaccine that works well enough to make a difference - 60% success rate for an unknown number of months and resistance by many to take it may not be enough to solve this.

2) I think this is how the parks are safe, and why more people are coming. I don’t think they would relax any safety restrictions

I think they should change it maybe 4 & up. There are a lot of ppl posting that they won’t go b/c their young kids can’t wear masks.

Yeah the age limit throws a lot of people through a loop. I’ve gone to downtown Disney a lot and so many parents come not realizing their 2 year old needs a mask. In other places, even in California, 2 Year olds don’t need a mask.

Agree it’s too extreme. Kids under 8 don’t wear masks at school here. I don’t understand Disney’s stance on this.

This is what is stopping me. My youngest is 2 and a half. I can keep the mask on for about 20 minutes at the doctors office. I would suffer through the heat if she didn’t have to wear one.

Our county is 6 and up.

 

[Mit88]

Maybe its because with children 2 and under being able to go into the parks for free it’s easier to determine through that which children need to wear a mask. 2 does seem to be a little young, maybe that’s something they could loosen up on as Florida progresses. But Disney is always going to air on the side of being too cautious, than not cautious enough

It’s 3 and under to get into the parks for free.

Edit. I’m wrong. It’s under 3.

2nd edit. Because she’s two and a half, my daughter doesn’t have to have a ticket but has to wear a mask.

in my area it is preK/Kindergarten and up depending on which is youngest group

 

[MickeyWaffles]

Lots of places are doing age 2 & up for masks, including our local zoo. People make it sound like Disney is the only one doing 2 & up.

If they change the mask mandate to an older age, that will significantly increase the number of unmasked people in the parks, in lines and on transportation.

They want as few unmasked people as possible, even if that means people will choose not to go because their 2 year old would not be able to wear one. I know we would be in that boat. My 4 & 5 year olds wear masks with ease but at 2 I think it would have been a much different story. We would just respect Disney’s choice and choose to not go at this time.

It kind of makes it arbitrary when it’s so different depending on where you are. Only my opinion of course.
