Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

This board seems to be suffering the most and definitely needs a “Ryan”

Agreed. Missing that here as well.

Six Flags St Louis is removing two rides for the 2021 season, the Moon Cars and Superman Tower of Power. Catwoman is also delayed until 2022 (originally set to open in 2020). The carousel refurb looks like it’s still going well.

2020 Season Passes were also extended for the entire 2021 season.

There was a thread about it on the resort boards.

Thank you! I’ll scoot over there and take a look.

Mrsap is filling in nicely on the news update thread- she usually posts news there before I can get a link off my twitter feed.

However...

You said, “I don't think it has anything to do with break rooms”.

Correct. And I will repeat myself one last time. I never said that break rooms are not an issue. I said I don’t think break rooms are the reason they won't open more things, because IMO the break room issue is easily solvable. I’m really not sure why folks are continuing to harp on this. It’s my opinion. I never questioned anyone, former CM or otherwise, who said break rooms have limited capacity. All I’ve said is that I don’t believe that is what’s preventing Disney from opening stuff up. Can we move on to something else now?

 

[ENJDisneyFan]

I mean, I almost hate to bring it up ... and I probably will regret doing so ... but anyone know what’s going on with the pools now a couple days later? Are there still waits or has that since been resolved? I haven’t seen any complaints about it on the FB groups I’m in for a couple days, pool wait/capacity complaints seem pretty slim.

I have friends heading down on Monday and I gave them a little warning about the pools. Not clear if it’s even a widespread issue, though.

I haven't heard much since that one day. I honestly think if it was a widespread issue it would be all over the Disney news. I'm hoping it was a fluke thing at CSR and for most resorts it's not a common issue.

Weekends are probably going to when its more of an issue. Many are just doing weekend stays whether resort only or parks.

That's a master class in taking a paragraph of a statement and turning it in to an article. It doesn't seem like Chapek said anything that would give any insight in to how long a reservation system would stick around.

He didn’t. lol I also think some people mastered answering a question without actually answering the question The title definitely doesn’t fit the article.

Haha, yeah. The article almost reads like a conspiracy theorist drawing meaning from vague statements.

I can’t help but laugh comparing temp checks to tsa baggage screening.Temp checks overall do nothing. Both are theater with temp even more so than baggage.

I took it it to mean, similar to the need for daily bag checks, temp screenings aren’t going anywhere. I’m fine with whatever they want to do, as long as I can go to Disney

They didn’t compare to daily bag checks they compared it to the screening at airports for bags which is much more detailed.

Unless they switch to the walk through ones it will be a huge bottleneck once parks are packed solid again. But it’s all theater since most fevers people will just mask with medications before going in. Someone that is going to go in sick will still do it, the ones that wouldn’t will still not. And honestly only some fevers even mean a person is contagious.

Also those thermometers are pretty inaccurate. The temperature screening doesn't do anything.
