Rumor about “modified experiences” when Disney reopens (read 1st post for potential modifications being considered)

How does 25% of retail get calculated?

Maybe based on fire capacity? He didn’t elaborate

I'd imagine it's 1/4 of the fire codes maximum capacity.

 

[yankeesfan123]

I just watched it he is allowing the following except in Palm Beach Broward and Dade County who remain in a stay at home order
The rest of the state will have elective surgery, restaurants at 25% capacity indoor and outdoor retail at 25% capacity except movies spas and gyms Schools remain closed no visits to nursing homes or assisted living with continuous testing of all workers and residents by national guard! Now for what you all want to hear phase two in weeks not months and large crowds in the summer mentioned June or july depending on how things play out

Large crowds... in sporting events.. was the context.

He said they’d have conventions “eventually”.

Closest thing to theme parks that he talked about.

Exactly doubt he would identify any specific business sports team etc to not force their decisions it is ultimately up to them individually

Yep. I assume they have been formulating a plan for a while now and know in order to get reservations they have to tell us what that plan is WELL in advance. May starts on Friday - that's got to be the best bet for an official announcement from Mickey.

I just read this latest info out of Florida specific to theme parks. However what it does not mention is dates. Simply wanted to share.

A task force appointed by officials in Orange County, Fla., has developed a preliminary set of guidelines for the phased reopening of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resorts, among other theme parks, when they eventually resume operations.

The Orange County Economic Task Force, which was created on April 17 to oversee the county’s approach to reopening business, met virtually on Tuesday afternoon to discuss their recommendations, which would apply to both larger theme parks, such as Disney World, Universal and Sea World, as well as smaller attractions.

Among the recommendations, the task force developed a number of both “guidelines” and “mandates,” including:
Guidelines:

• “Tape marking of six feet apart in ride/attraction queues”
  [*]“Staff to regularly wipe down surfaces at random”
  

Mandates:

• “All employees required to wear face masks”
• “Touchless hand sanitizer at each ticketing entry and turnstiles”
• “Touchless hand sanitizer at each ride/attraction entry and exit”
• “Temperature checks for staff prior to shift (temp above 100.4 must not enter premises)”
• “All employees with flu-like symptoms advised to stay home”
• “Wipe down of all railings and surfaces regularly”

I have a feeling in California it won’t be up to Disney.

I'm with you on that assumption. Sure hope so as my June 1 date is fast approaching!

Agreed. WDW and Disneyland will have different announcements likely separated by weeks. Although Florida and California have similar populations, infection rates and population densities their outlook on things varies greatly.

California has almost twice the population of Florida. 39 million for CA and 21 million for Florida...

Well there is one similarity they both reside in Orange County! Let’s hope the local government in Cali is more pro business

We kept our June 13 reservation but made a July reservation as well. Im not too upset as I forgot my FP date for the June one and consequently will be enjoying such favorites as "Living with the Land" at 3:45 and MuppetVision at Noon.

Thanks for the reminder. Mine is Saturday. I have a reservation in July and I plan on making a back up one in September when discounts are released.

taking safety measures doesnt mean you aren’t pro business

 

[Anthony Vito]

Same as the majority of in the US when we travel internationally. If I leave the country, cruises or trips, I usually buy some kind of medical travel insurance. Luckily have not needed, yet.

Except when we travel abroad it’s vastly different since most healthcare costs outside of the U.S. are a fraction of what they’d be here. Also, many countries will still cover tourists’ care when there under whatever their regular system is. It also makes it much less expensive for travel insurance to cover medical when we’re traveling versus other citizens traveling here.

 

[pangyal]

Canada is international and we don't necessarily have to fly to get there. When flying is allowed again it still might be hard to get medical insurance if cases are still high.

Flying has been allowed throughout the situation, actually. Even for non-essential travel between the US and Canada. Only land crossings are restricted for non-essential.

Reminder this is not a thread to discuss death rates.

No you can do both but there are extremes
