WDW COVID-19 Operational Changes- Reservation System-Rope Drop Procedures

[Jadyreen1282]

I just re-booked out to August 2021.

Been saying it from the start. Disney parks will not re-open this year. The bars are just a start. If this thing doesn't stop Disney will be smart and bag it all...and soon

If you choose not to go that is your choice just as it is the choice of those to attend. Disney is still in the process of reopening and nothing has changed that.

I think they will respond and readjust to the new cases.

I think so too. I’m trying to wrap my head around how Disney opens in two weeks with the numbers accelerating the way they are in Florida.

Agreed. Disney is doing its part to keep capacity as low as possible without closing. They want to open to start making revenue again, especially with the amount lost since March. With the restrictions in place, it's a personal choice to go or not. It's everyone's responsibility to keep themselves and others safe. I live in South Florida and my friends, family, and I always acted as if the people around us had covid, just to be as cautious as possible.

I understand that, but in my opinion Florida numbers have changed drastically in the last 24 hours. That’s all I’m saying. Watching the news on this sort of on a day to day basis. Also very interested to hear from Disney how today’s news on bars will affect operations.

Bars can't sell alcohol. That's the impact. They might open with non alcoholic drinks or not at all but you won't know until opening day. Bars are a very small portion of operations at wdw

There's your problem. You're listening to the news. The data doesn't match what the news is saying.

Do you not believe there were 9k new cases in the last day? That number really surprised me.

 

[Chris Ehlers]

I doubt Oga's Cantina is going to be open but this would certainly apply there. We went once and it was packed.

i think they need to open up an Olga Mobile order so you can get a Fuzzy TaunTaun and walk around with it

I see what you’re saying. I guess my point is, if the numbers keep accelerating at the rate they currently are in Florida, more restrictions might be expected. I agree that as things stand today, one could assume Disney will open as they have planned.

 

[yulilin3]

And that's my queue to remind everyone that this thread is not about covid numbers. Wdw wil close or reopen as they see fit, and we're discussing their operational procedures when that happens

I never mentioned cover numbers...just a clarification of the bars not serving booze. Restaurants with bars can stay open.
All businesses that derive more than 50 percent of their revenue from alcohol sales must stop selling alcohol to customers on their premises immediately,

Alright topic change- I know that people(up to July 10th) have been able to make ADRs for select restaurants at hotels. I wonder when the July 11th and beyond folks will be able to. Right now it’s just Disney Springs. And I’m wondering when the park sit down restaurants will open. I’m just curious if I will be able to get a Garden Grill reservation I have a prediction it will be after Sunday(when last bunch of people go through the park pass system).

That's been already reported upthread

 

[doleddanielle]

With the current bar restriction, I can definitely see WDW having a limited menu at its bars and offering more food/snack options to comply with that restriction. From my understanding, as long as alcohol is less than 50% of the menu options and there is table seating-only, they can remain open - no one can sit at the actual bar. For example, Oga's Cantina can be open with no bar seating and if they limit their menu.

I wonder if they will leave it as walk up options. If they do decide to open reservations i hope it's online and not buy calling again, that's been a disaster

I’m thinking it was for me
We live in NY, all our family is in Florida. Supposed to go in August, I just can’t figure out how it will happen. We’re tracking Florida developments closely and taking it day by day right now. Suppose we will all know more in just a few weeks.
