Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[LeeLee'sMom]

Hello, can any of you help me get this sorted.. So I am having a brain cramp, how early is each park letting guests "in" and actually line up and/or ride? Is it 30 mins before park opening or more? is it just HS? I remember when we went in February to HS they let us in I want to say it was at least 30 mins prior to official park opening but held us on Hollywood boulevard...until it was very close to park opening..

 

[Betty Rohrer]

Yeah... but outside of NY this is a random weekend. There simply aren’t many schools that give a holiday weekend for Yom Kippur...

not from NY but there are a few schools in my area that do have off also

it seems to vary by park but from everything I have read all of them are letting you in a bit early - I thhink DHS trends the earliest at about 45 mins early. All seem to at least let you get in queues and often opening the rides at least a little early

[Josh D'Amaro walks up to the podium looking very serious. Pauses briefly to let the gravitas of what he is about to reveal to the world settle amongst the crowd gathered both here here and at home. leans forward towards the microphone ....]

Josh D'Amaro: "Soon"

[he then retreats from the microphone and takes his seat, no emotion ever appearing on his face. His stoic presence is both reassuring and disconcerting to those in attendance. DisTwitter esplodes]

this has made my morning, can't stop laughing

once the parking lot is open, the parks opens. They are not holding anyone once inside, you go to whatever attraction you want and queue up, some have been opening early like MMRR, SDD, RnRC, ToT, 7DMT, PP, KS, FoP.
MK lot opens at 8:15
Epcot lot opens around 10:15 to 10:30am
AK lot opens about 35 minutes before park official opening
DHS lot opens around 9:10 to 9:15am

I've roped dropped Epcot twice, one time waited for SE and the other walked to FEA and both opened at opening time, not sure about the rest attractions.
Each morning operations teams at each attraction decides if they are opening early or not so really none of them are guaranteed even if they have been opening early like MMRR.

Test Track was open as soon as the gates opened last week. However, we weren't let into park the car until 10:30 so by teh time we got into the park it was only a few minutes "early".

Guys!!!!
Southwest is having a sale if you book a flight in the next three days you get a COMPANION pass for the first two months of 2021!!

You need to REGISTER, book a new flight and then fly in the next couple of months.
Go see if it works for you!

I wish the flight prices were better for Nola to MCO. They looked like regular old prices to me.

ETA I was looking at October. They are much better Christmas week. Now I’m tempted all over again lol.

Does anyone know if the refurb on the big blue pool at AOA was scrapped or pushed or if that will happen as planned?

Just found an article that Disney filed permits this month for it but then also saw that they removed the wording on the website about it being closed. hmm.

The Magic (carpets) is awaiting

My understanding is that it’s not really optional work. So maybe delayed but not scrapped.

Christmas week doesn't satisfy the Companion Pass deal though. Have to book by 9/24 and fly by 11/15.
