Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Farro]

Well, we've never been to Tony's ever and heard that the food may have improved since they reopened so decided to give it a chance before stuff does return to whatever it was before that folks wanted to avoid. Same as we're doing with the breakfast at Chef Mickey's.

Try it all!!! If the food is that bad you can always go get a Mickey pretzel.

That’s been the come back for people “complaining” since I started coming to these boards. You don’t like the price, you don’t like FP+, you can’t get the resort you want, you don’t like a particular change, etc. it’s often met with “if you don’t like it don’t come. I’ll take your spot.” For some reasons it’s an over the top come back but with the mask rule it’s really just that. Don’t come if you don’t want to wear it.

I was rrreeaallllyyy against going to WDW with a mask rule but I’ve booked something for March. We’re going with or without masks. I’ve gotten over it for now.

It's better than the "if you're so afraid stay home" comeback for places that aren't strict.

I'm pretty sure I have had equivalent disappointments in my life that allow me to empathize with the situation. Doesn't change my response.

Of course, but an empathetic response is not “get over it, it’s the policy, don’t go”. Ppl are venting their frustrations.

Okay.

It's just sometimes the same people are complaining about it and I think people are just saying there isn't really another choice.

Saw on Facebook that the Clown from the Boardwalk (Luna) Pool is getting chopped up. There’s a picture of the pieces, but take it with a ground of salt.

Maybe a haunted house.

Is the pool closed currently? Are they getting rid of it? I think that's lame if it's because people complained. I thought if fit the theme there perfectly. Wonder what they'll put in it's place.

Yes, knew it was a refurbish, but maybe the Clown is a goner ?

OK I heard about the layoffs but never expected the Luna pool clown to be one of them.

I'm gonna miss that clown, staring into my room every night. Didn't matter which room or which floor, it always found me.

I'm sure a "Save the Luna Pool Clown" site has started up somewhere.

They should stick with the 2020 theme and put Pennywise up there...

I generally agree, but we see them adding finishing touches lately (the signs for standby, fastpass, and single rider went up today) and ECPOT still could use more of a draw plus they still have 2 more major rides to open next year (so I think Disney is in a little different position than like Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens)

I definitely think you could be right - Jan or Feb, but also wouldn't shockme if it is like mid Nov for the Thanksgiving and then holiday crowds as something else to draw to EPCOT - and then absorb crowds

IF they open it, it won’t be announced. A Christmas miracle of sorts for extended soft openings.
Assuming they go VQ route like Rise, management won’t want crushing crowds and disappointment during the most magical time of the year.

As long as it's the Tim Curry Pennywise.

We went to Tony’s pre-closure (last time in ‘18), and it really wasn’t bad. Not great, but a ladder rung above Olive Garden. Decent value on DDP with wine and dessert.

Or Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

This makes no sense that they will have no QS option nor either one of their TS options. Maybe that will happen in a few weeks. But still cant get over the QS - where will you get the refillable mugs?

I wonder if one of these places might be converted to QS?

I believe they refill mugs at Siestas usually, so that may be the spot initially.

We’re still complaining about Disney making you wear masks when they’re dismantling the iconic clown? Get your priorities straight, guys. Hope they don’t go for the creepy chairs next.
