Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Redhead5]

Disney is a private company. The state can't make it increase capacity or stop requiring masks.

So, can anyone name the things, historically, that Disney took away and then brought BACK?

They replaced the music acts in Morocco, not a complete elimination, right?

Sorry for some of my posts yesterday

Just got back from my staycation with friends. I had been looking forward to this for almost 4 months, and it was a pretty disappointing trip. Nothing from Disney's side, but more from the friends. I don't feel like going into much detail, but it's left me pretty depressed about it as this was supposed to be the only good moment for me of this year. Instead, it just made me feel even worse and more isolated/lonely.

Thank you both, it was a bit confusing to read from that state announcement.

MSEP, I think?

oh wait do you mean Covid or just in general?

So I am confused. There are no longer any state requirements in Florida for masks and no fines but Disney and other parks can still enforce masks and refuse entry? Just a bit confused, thanks.

There was never any state requirement for masks in FL. Disney, as a private business, has a right to create and enforce just about any rule on its property.

And rumor has it Paint The Night is coming for 50th?

Sorry. My siblings completely messed up our last trip in 2017. Bad.

I got over it, but Covid made me mad all over again.

It's private property so they can mandate things or prohibit things that may be just fine off Disney property. Mask wearing is one now, but certain strollers, loose ice, adult costumes, etc. are other things they regulate on their own property. I hope that makes sense?

Looks like Disney is sending out a lot surveys this week. I've gotten a few and I see others online (on social media and various blogs) are reporting receiving surveys as well. They're mostly centered around the usual health and safety questions (similar to those asked back in mid/late July) but there are also some questions about experiences and entertainment in particular. They definitely seem to be trying to gage the Guest effects of bringing back some entertainment in the new fiscal year. Remember that with more theater seats, capacity goes up (and suddenly, that 30% of "capacity" is a higher number).

Is the Frozen theater that much bigger than the Theater of the Stars? I figured that with closing out one theater and opening another it was kind of a wash - capacity-wise.

I think Frozen will draw many more people than Theater of the Stars?

Yes, if you already purchased the voucher, you can activate it at any ticket window. My parents activated at Epcot IG ticket window and we activated ours at AK (all within the past 2 weeks). Got our new yellow cards and everything.

Ok great! Thanks! I thought I remembered doing that once before.

Sure does, thank you.

So do I - but my post was concerning park capacity. From a standpoint of determining capacity they just need to know throughput and number of seats - not perceived popularity - of an attraction.

True but OC did have a mask mandate (and maybe still does although it’s really no longer enforceable).

LEAVE OUR PTN ALONE!!! It’s busy collecting all the best dust CA has to offer.

Sorry to hear that - hope something better comes along to cheer you up

Let me know if you would prefer more of less of my poor attempts at humor

In general. Disney has not been known to give much credence to guest demands or petitions to bring things back.= that got the axe.

As someone who lives in Orlando, it was rarely enforced to begin with. The amount of times I was in gas stations, stores, etc and saw people with no masks was pretty high. No one ever said anything.
