Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Shellbells]

I hope you had safe travels! I think you posted this morning saying your ADR's were still there - did you actually HAVE any today? I was curious if they were just like OH HI HERE IS YOUR TABLE THAT YOU DEFINATELY RESERVED or....no.

Tonight's dinner was at Paddlefish but we booked it through Opentable.
Tomorrow we have Boathouse booked but it was booked 30 days ago.
The real test will be Friday. That's when I started to make all the changes. We have 50's booked for lunch and I made the ADR during the glitch. So far they're all still showing in my MDE. I'll keep you posted.

Someone posted in another thread that he made an ADR for his daughter during yesterday morning's mess for today at Prime Time Cafe and she didn't have any issues being seated with it. However he also posted later that she said "every table was taken" although I'm not sure what that meant (all the "socially distanced" tables, or like every table in the place).

Checked into RPR today at Universal. The Christmas decorations are up at the resort. They have a very pretty tree. I have to say I didn’t expect RPR to be this nice. I don’t know why. Maybe the difference in pricing compared to Disney deluxe as this was much cheaper. I’m definitely hoping CCV has their decorations up when we transfer over to Disney. Southwest flight in was great. Definitely missed the cocktails. Mask compliance onboard and really anywhere we have been has been good so far. Used Tony Hinds for the first time today for transfer from MCO to Universal. He is awesome!

Ahaaaa. Interesting

I did ask this on the Star Wars merch thread but I didn't get any response which is no big deal normally, but also I have election related anxiety and only 18 days till my trip - so I'm awake and trying to think about fun happy things - and thought I would bring the question here:
Question re: the light sabers - there's a part of the experience at Savi's where the person making the saber, lifts it into the air - how heavy is this thing in estimated poundage?
Would a 6 year old be able to lift it unassisted or would he more than likely need help/helping hand?

The sabers are hefty but not like 20 pounds either. Definitely more so than the plastic sabers. I would think a 6 year old should be fine but I’m sure that depends too.

thank you! he's a sturdy kid so I'm sure he'll be fine, but I'll just tell dad to be ready to help just in case.

in the last couple of months DS has become REALLY into the story lines of star wars - to the point of correcting us (and other people...) when we say the wrong names/words/references. Every lego project he makes has a clear lego as a kyber crystal "for power".
He has NO idea he's doing the build - i wish both of us could go in during the experience but it would just be for me to see his head pop off his shoulders. Once he walks in, he won't remember anyone walked in with him.

Hopefully everyone plays nice for me while I’m not monitoring every second this weekend

I imagine it’s a lot like the stance they had to take against walking around and eating/drinking where they gave an inch and people took a mile. A strict rule leaves little (not no, because there’s always room for someone) room for arguing with the CM.

that was my first thought - the occassional sip of water, minimizing time the mask is off, etc. isn't the issue ....it's the people that use that allowance to then just keep their mask off and slowing work on their bottle of water while in line

Just easier to make rules hard and fast

I didn't see too many people doing that this week. I also didn't hear the new announcement while in MK yesterday. But yeah, there's a difference between a quick sip and pulling the mask up and keeping your chin strap on while yapping loudly around other people for an extended period of time (while indoors).

I don't think they can really enforce it unless they decide to post CM's sporadically throughout the indoor queues, and I don't see that happening ever tbh.

After @yulilin3 mentioned an incident she could not elaborate on occurred a couple days regarding this I’m getting the feeling they won’t be storming quick sip of water folks but have given more power/illusion of power to CMs to deal with the eternal sippers.

DH and I ate at 50s a few weeks ago and we've eaten there often enough to notice that tables had been removed to accommodate social distancing. So every table was full when we were there but there were a lot less tables than in the past. Noticed the same thing at the Plaza. For example, we were seated in the small circular room and there were 3 tables in there, all full. On previous trips, there were 6 tables in that room. Other places, such as Sci Fi where they can't remove tables, some of the tables were not being used.

How early do they need to be rented?? Maybe we should get on that

Got through this AM after about a 2 minute hold. There are downsides to being local if you're not staying on Disney property......"no golf cart rental for you".

So much of that looks so good, even to this semi-picky eater. Too bad I won't get to try any of it unless Disney starts selling AP's again.

Thanks, I've been waiting for this!

I've read that recently during the week some of the food stands would be closed for Food & Wine Festival. Do you think they will be doing the same with this? Where they will only have all of them open on the weekends? Or is Christmas time busy enough that they'll likely be open every day?

who knows what they'll do
