Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[only hope]

I meant at DS, not in the parks.

Hm. Just looked- D-luxe Burger is the only location with MO at DS and there’s no discount for AP’s there.

There really aren't places there that take it either.

Huh? D-Luxe Burger is the only place that does Disney mobile ordering at Disney Springs and there are no AP or DVC discounts at D-Luxe.

In the opening ceremony of sorts she called this the first annual so that made it seem like this would continue.

David Martin of Fox 35 Orlando interviewed her last week where she mentioned the concerns about it being open to the public during non-pandemic times. She mentioned she wanted to use this opportunity to "peel back the curtain" for the public.

That looks like it will be a cool experience. Hopefully, the quality of the food lives up to the quality of the setting.

Once you get into the payment section of mobile order, isn't there something about discounts? (Makes it look like it should be possible to add an AP, etc, discount.) Maybe that's what causes confusion?

There’s some. I think 12 of the 35 places that offer AP discounts at DS are QS. I’m not familiar with all of the options though.

As others have pointed out though none with mobile ordering.

I could have sworn Polite Pig had MO, and I know they take discounts, or they did a couple years ago

I hope they at least let those of us who aren’t traveling during a pandemic experience our favorite attraction one more time. Is pushing this retheme off until 2022 too much to ask for? Wonder what he meant by “speeding things up”on this given the current pandemic situation.

You cut 3 park days because of mobile ordering? Did you know you could still counter order if you wanted to? MO, to me is great cause it's like an adr, you can reserve your order time early in the day, guaranteeing a table later, and then just hit "I'm here prepare my order" during your reserved time

We really didn't go to ride, mainly for the ambience and to see the Christmas decorations. This was my first trip back in four years (although my wife has been twice since I last went). We went to Magic Kingdom one day for four hours and rode Small World and Haunted Mansion. Went to Hollywood for 3 hours, rode Toy Story Mania. Last trip was to Epcot, probably about 5 hours and rode Soarin'. We did enjoy Regal Eagle Smoke House. Tried to order in person counter service in Tomorrowland, but they were rather insistent that I do mobile ordering. Did do Mobile ordering at Deluxe Burger in Disney Springs which did turn out OK. Everywhere we tried to mobile order, we weren't permitted into the facility until the screen turned purple and said our order was ready. Got to Hollywood about 4 or 4:30, ABC Commissary was closed, they sent us to Back Lot (I think that's what it was called) and it closed 5 minutes before we got there. Sent us to Rosies, limited menu but at least it was hot. Down side about that was everyone in the pick up line ahead of me seemed to be ordering mixed drinks (didn't know they served drinks there), and took about 10-15 minutes to get through the line to get our food) Ordered breakfast during a visit to Pop Century, we went in as soon as they said it was ready. 3 egg omlet looked like a single scrambled egg with him and cheese sprinkled on the top. It was cold. My wife's waffles and eggs were also cold. I think that was the last time we bought any Disney food. Rest was at Shades of Green.

They aren't going to leave it forever. I wouldn't be surprised to see it close early 2022. Possibly even earlier than that.

figure the 50th lasts 18 months, that puts us in 2023 when the 50th ends. I doubt they take a people eater like Splash out of rotation during that period. They haven’t even really begun the hard work that needs to be done for a retheme of that attraction, as far as I know. I think we’re looking at 2024-2025, and that’s if they decide it’s still in the budget to do on both coasts. I’m not sold on it coming to Florida until I see actual work being done, DL on the other hand will probably be the priority

That doesn't fit the term "fast track"

I think the re-theme starts once it goes down for its usual refurbishment in January 2021. I’ve just been holding out hope that they’d leave it up until 2022 so that I could experience the attraction one more time but it appears that won’t be the case. Don’t mean to derail the thread. Just hate they keep making announcements on this with 0 details.

Everything and anything is in flux right now. Disney is always coy on details but even more so now.

Guess I missed where fast tracked was used.That’s not stated in the attractions magazines tweets. If they’re fast tracking a complete retheme like that, it’s going to be a mess of an attraction. Thinking Jurassic World in Hollywood. Here’s some screens and it’s a brand new attraction

Oh I get it, doesn’t mean I have to like it or think that it’s good customer service.

I don't think was every supposed to be complete redo. I would compare this to Maelstrom to Frozen. Track and boats the same, change our some AAs and sets and you're done.
