If you are headed to MK today, no ferry service

CNN is reporting that they found the boy's body. Press briefing to begin at any minute. (4:02pm eastern time)

Ferry/boat service been restored yet?

Really?

 

[Skywise]

Really?

Yes.

If you're going tonight it'd be good to know.

 

[minnie mum]

Really?

Seemed like a perfectly normal question to ask. Boat services were suspended while the search took place. The recovery was completed. And there will be tens of thousands of people needing to get back to the TTC from the park tonight.

What the heck is wrong with you to ask this right now? Oh wait, it you need it explained then that is the exact problem....

What the heck is wrong with you to object to the question? If your usual route home from work had been closed due to a fatal accident, might you not want to find out when it was reopened? How is this different?

It's when and where it's being asked mostly. A lot of people here are feeling this viscerally. There a ton of comments about feeling physically ill about this. Lots of people have said they can't even imagine what the family is going thru but I suspect it's really that it hits hard because people can imagine and do have a small inkling of what the family might be feeling. And that is terrifying and upsetting and scary. And it happened in a place people here love. People are feeling very close to this. I can't read any of the threads not related to this right now because they feel very unimportant in the scheme of things right now. Not everyone has to feel that way, of course, but some people do. So while you probably don't mean it this way, to some it sounds like, "When will your tragedy stop inconveniencing me."

Fair enough. There are multiple threads about the tragic death of the little boy all over the Dis, and many are emotional, if not verging on hysteria. However this thread was specifically about transportation interruptions affecting MK and the monorail resort boat services. I can't think of a more appropriate place to find out about the current transportation situation. Objecting to updates is ridiculous and a misplaced target for the PPs emotional outrage.

Yup, I'd like to know too. We're heading down tonight. I'm sure I'd find out on my own when I got there, but I'd like to know. I see nothing wrong with asking. It was an absolutely horrible tragedy, and as the father of 3 kids, I can't even begin to imagine. However, it was a completely freak and random tragedy. Maybe I'm wrong, but is this the first time in the history of WDW...dating back nearly 45 years now, that something like this has happened? I'm not going to be hypersensitive or overreact to it. I grew up near the Jersey shore. Every now and then you'd hear about a shark in the water or someone got bit by one. We still went and swam in the ocean.

Ferry service is up today.

But it looks like resort launches are NOT and the marinas and beaches remain closed for all resorts.
