Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I know this is yesterday's news but I need to get it out of my system. OMG Disney ENOUGH with the plexiglass. You're already ruined several rides with this (I'm looking at you the Land boat ride as the worst offender).

Also, I feel like I"m in a coffin each time I get in line for the Mexico boat ride.

I'll never understand why they keep coming up with things to make it less desirable to visit!

Because we are in the middle of a pandemic and taking measure to keep people safe but also operate efficiently.

Hope our new uk strain doesn’t reach you guys in USA. 70% more infectious.

There has been a strain that is more transmissiable in the us for awhile now. They have yet to say what the strain is in the uk and it may very well be the same as here already.

cam not remember the name mentioned but one was mentioned when I read her letter. for some of these kids it is now or never. the kids doctors have to sign off on any trip or at least that was true when my 2 grandsons had their trips there

My BIL went on a trip sponsored by an organization like Make a Wish, but for adults. He passed one month later. I know others in his travel group also passed not long after. It truly was a now or never situation; and he was able to make memories for his son. I certainly won't judge families who choose to go to GKTW - I'm sure they are taking as many precautions as they can, will travel with the guidance and advice from their physicians, and none of us have insight into their circumstances.

Wow...this seems like a monumentally bad idea. Of course I want the village to be up and running, but it really seems like a very very bad idea.

Not your terminally ill child. Honestly I would tell you (if I were going through that and thank God I'm not) to mind your own business. It's a different world they are trying to survive in. Most likely with a much different comfort level when it comes to mortality.

I agree! To the family with a child that Only has a few months to a year left and no idea what day their quality of life with turn the thought of having that special trip is worth it.

To the ones that feel like they have time since not all kids that go there are terminally ill they may choose to wait.

Sure it’s temporary.

Nevermind! Realized Beaches & Cream window news already shared.

I think so too. From a thread on Facebook it sounded like it has been a zoo at the to go window lately and difficult to distance with the limited space. I’d think it would return after holiday crowds go down.

Ah thanks, I was wondering why they would close a outside, but I go place thinking that is better for social distancing but if people are crowding around it then that obviously is not great.

Seems like they could come with something besides just closing it though (mobile ordering or something?)

Yeah - we had an 8:30PM ADR there back in mid-October and saw the outside line then. I can't imagine how bad it had gotten since.

Especially with park limited hours and no Ample Hills.

Hmm - Universal reaches capacity this past weekend but as far as I remember WDW has not.

maybe because WDW has increased it a bit

There’s also 4 parks vs 2. I don’t think Disney surpassed Universal in capacity % either

With the new relief bill approved, I wouldnt be surprised if we see Disney offer some deals here over the next few weeks to take advantage of that

Well it’s agreed on, nothing has passed

If they pass it...
I would be surprised to see something triggered by that. Imho their problem isn’t that people feel poor, it’s that they aren’t interested in going to Disney World period. A half-of-what-we-got-last-time stimulus check won’t change that feeling.
