Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[TheMaxRebo]

We arrive on my sons 21st birthday and was planning to go straight to Epcot for his first legal drink and to drink around the world. But now I’m debating on going to DHS and try for a 2 pm. If they Make hopping a thing again I will definitely do that and then hop to Epcot !

I’ve never seen a Star Wars movie but I also want to ride it !

certainly not required to know anything about Star Wars to appreciate the attraction, though some knowledge of the key characters might help. If you have time might want to watch The Force Awakens and/or read the novel (it's a quick read) Black Spire Outpost

Yeah it’s definitely looking bad for AoA. I just tried some random dates in November and December and no availability at all for AoA. And the pop up about constantly changing hotel availability and possible closings comes up. I wonder if they’re not going to open or only open a small portion of the rooms (maybe Little Mermaid only). But going by booking availability, it doesn’t look like 11/1 is happening.

And it seems to be the same for CSR now as well. Checked some dates in November and December, and no availability at all with the same pop up. ???

I wouldn’t read too much into availability, as Disney’s systems can be very wonky. With AoA, we’ll likely hear if the reopening is called off within the next 7-10 days. If we don’t hear anything, then as the expression goes “no news is good news.”

With CSR, I’d be shocked if it didn’t open on 10/14. Now, mind you, they may only open GDT and one or two of the section, but I’d bet something over there will open. We should get a sense of what offerings will be available sometime this week or maybe early, early next week at the latest.

Mine is Nov. 4th..... and my kids love Frozen.

It just doesn’t seem fair that they schedule a closure a month out when park reservations must be made. We come from the west so are infrequent visitors. I would be very sad...

What? No, Josh D'Amaro

Oh hahahaha nevermind

Kona Cafe is also now Mobile Order - and I'm ok with it.

 

[Spridell]

What? No, Josh D'Amaro

Well, since he is back in Florida, i wonder if they are in standstill back in CA

probably reading too much into it though lol......

Does anyone think they're going to extend the hours of DHS for 10/16 to 10/18? They've extended the hours of every other park that weekend -- seems strange to me that they're not extending DHS too.

I looked today and found weekday stays available at AoA but not the weekends I checked. I suspect they are just at capacity for the weekend days I checked. Gonna be crowded.

Did I miss the date that Chef Mickey’s is brining back characters? I was hoping to get breakfast there before they return - and the prices go up!!

I've heard good things about brining before smoking back characters. They're much juicing that way.

Yep. And long lines to go along with it. If only they were working on a way to help Guests avoid long lines and also increase revenue...

At this point I'm like bring on the paid FP ahead of the holidays please.

We are in the same boat. We booked AOA for multiple reasons. 2 bathrooms being a big one. I’m afraid of getting moved to the cabins with bunk beds in the main bedroom and only 1 bathroom.

I wouldn't be too concerned, it still pops up for dates that I look at with plenty of availability, along with CSR (although, not as much availability with CSR since they aren't booking CL.). I know the second week or november there are lots of room categories still available to choose from, it may just be that the first week it's booked solid, or booked up through select weekends so if you want to include a weekend it is automatically not available. Hopefully for you, in the case of it not opening, they would move you to a DVC room or something.

I feel like that's his favorite park to pop in to. Hopefully it's a mad house and he can have the same reaction every other person has when visiting the parks and dealing with tons of people and long lines.

 

[yulilin3]

Hopefully Josh seeing for himself the crazy long queues prompts some readjusting

Omg, great minds, lol

OT, but acceptable OT I think...

My kids lunch is cooling off, my son just asked how much longer, I said soon. He said “you can’t say soon when it’s really long!!”
