Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[osufeth24]

We went yesterday. Now have enough art for one bathroom, our living room, and bedroom. And need to figure out where to put all the HM pieces. I've never been to FOTA before, so I don't know how watered down it is this year compared to the past, but so far it's my fave EPCOT festival.

Save some for the rest of us!

Here at Epcot to hopefully not buy all of the art

Parking was a huge pain this morning. For whatever reason they had us park all the way at the end parking lot (imagine). And was filling in all spots pretty quickly

Should I be worried at all about things closing down for my trip to Disney around Feb 3rd - Feb 9th due to rising pandemic numbers?

I doubt it. It's Florida..

Will FL close it? IMHO no. Will the Feds with a new sheriff in town? Unlikely as that could get messy politically but imho not completely impossible they do something that mucks up traveling for fun.

Have a plan if it’s closed and have a plan if it’s open but you’re banned from traveling due to illness or quarantine. That second one is much more likely than the first scenario. There have been reported cases of people who travel despite being quarantined due to close contact COVID exposure- or who literally test positive for COVID right before the trip- taking there trips anyway. Have a plan of how to cancel everything in case that scenario ends up being you.

Wasn’t it closed for an extended time for refurbishment not long ago?

 

[osufeth24]

I'm at 4 pieces.

I really don't like the crowding at the tents and at the showcase. They don't do the greatest. People on top of each other trying to grab paintings

Yeah when they installed all the new seating. This is weird, unless it's something to do with putting an actual roof over it

So is 4 more or less than you thought you would be at by now?

Oh, and is there an "official" print for this year? One highlight from last year was talking to the artist who painted the official print (and getting a signed copy of it)

I thought so as well ... Maybe putting in more food options/service space?

Haha probably more. In all honesty, I thought it was gonna be 1.

But then I saw the marvel tent. I'd buy the whole tent if I had the money. But bought only 2 things. An awesome captain American vs iron man canvas. And the print of all the avengers looking down on a typewriter sad over Stan Lee's passing. Paper coming out of the typewriter has a hologram of his face and says "enough said" on it. It's really awesome.

Then purchased a cool print of beauty in the beast. It's almost like the whole plot in a painting. The artist was there and signed it. Then purchased a painting of mickey mouse with a tower of terror theme. Artist was there as well.

I was gonna buy a haunted mansion and tower of terror print from another guy, but he was kind of a jerk to me (he got all mad at me for having my phone out thinking I was taking pictures) , so I didn't buy anything

Don't know if mentioned, but first time I've seen this. Tomorrow land terrace has a couple of foods from Columbia harbor house

 

[osufeth24]

Just bought 2 more pieces. What's wrong with me

I was thinking the same. Only 6 pieces in 6 hours - you'll never break the record at that pace.

We are going this week and it will be our first time at the festival. Based on the posts here I've already warned my husband that we will be coming home with a lot of art I'm so excited!

Hey Everyone. We are looking at finally replanning our trip from June 2020 to Halloween 2021. What do your crystal balls say about Jambo House AKL being open again by that time? And do you think the Mickey Halloween party will be back? I know these are all guesses but I'm not up to date on what the rumors are. Thanks.

It would just be guessing. I would like to think that most things would be reopened/back in some form by Oct 2021. Doesn't mean won't still be restrictions or some limited offerings but largely "back"

As to parties, I think they will be back in some form as just too much $ for Disney. Maybe with reduced capacity and increased cost

I can't speak to Jambo, but I would hope most WDW resorts would be open before the end of this year. Unless they are having a real bad time filling up the current ones as well as those they already scheduled to to open this year, in which case they could very well hold back opening the rest.

Some here feel parties will be back in some limited form by the fall with possibly reduced capacity. What they include and how much they would cost won't be known for a long long long time. No one is even sure if MNSSHP will be the first party to come back or does WDW wait until MVMCP to start parties back up. These are questions that I'm sure will pop up weekly somewhere on the boards.

Imho yes party, no Jambo.
