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

[constanze]

Seems to be a lot of confidence something will happen 'soon.' I'm just an arm-chair Disney observer so I'll defer to those that actually know things and feed off their vibes, but I'm mentally prepared for no info until very close to the dates. Guess we'll see.

You're probably right...here I was ready to take the day off to watch my computer every second...might as well get in the shower and get the day started...of course...I'll still keep my phone within arms distance...I'm not crazy after all

When something crappy happens to someone, telling them that they should be more accepting of it is not a sympathetic response.

Im pretty sure there were 3 paragraphs about everything that everyone has been.l going through during this pandemic and how it’s all new and they are trying their best.
Pulling one sentence out of context is not a helpful response.

Dude I had the same questions asked of me before the plumber came to fix my cracked pipe. Most places have COVID waivers

Kind of meant my reply as a joke -

I
totally got the covid waiver part - just found the symptom list to be assuming (not the virus, the symptoms)
On a daily basis, years before the pandemic, I have most of them !

After the NBA released a 113 page, completely detailed plan of how life will look in their bubble starting on July 7 (complete with details like, people playing cards must throw the deck away after use!), I have hope WDW can do the same for their guests very SOON (LOL! I know we've all been waiting for "soon" for a long time!). That guidebook was released yesterday (I know you know - I see you on the NBA thread!), exactly three weeks before the players arrive, so, maybe WDW guests will get something by this Saturday? Fingers crossed!

I really hope so, for the sake of everyone booked! Time is moving really fast. But I also know that nothing is set in stone right now, and that the plans the NBA released can change too. There's a lot of moving parts to consider and also there are players who have expressed concerns about traveling, as well as resuming play due to current events (Kyrie Irving).

Maybe the reason I can be zen about this is because I work in local government and have seen how my own agency doesn't know what's going on half the time! We are used to rapid changes (usually when the Mayor announces something without telling us) but covid has made it even crazier. When we were training temps for covid response, training materials our team had developed that morning were obsolete by the time I was delivering it at noon because policies and procedures changed that quick. And ime communication breakdown seems to be the order of the day regardless of the area of life and the bigger the organization the worse the communication seems to be. I was a lot more stressed out until I realized there was no point in freaking out over what I can't control. I guess I gave up lol but I try to worry about what I can control and think about contingencies as I can. It's really the only thing I can do, including where Disney is concerned. I don't say that to scold people for venting or blame them for being upset or to defend Disney btw. It's just that it is what it is.

Not ‘Disney’ related, but Gov. DeSantis says state not ‘rolling back’ amid uptick in cases. Thought it was positive news to share.

The Note thing was always there....I've used it to add appointments at Harmony Barber Shop and other things that don't show as reservations in MDE. I don't think this is new.

Gah.

OK, I guess I can stop freaking out now....

FWIW - Gov. Newsom said the same thing in CA. Forgive the long-winded response in the article - that's just Gov. Newsom. I love how Gov. DeSantis just gets to the point by comparison.

I hear you! I've been doing this community check-in app for the last couple of months. One of the symptoms listed is runny nose...our property is lined on three sides with pine trees and the yellow pollen literally blankets everything for weeks each spring. Especially this year without going to the office for some relief, you better believe my nose has been runny!

I suffer from seasonal allergies too, and I never go to the World without Zyrtec Claritin AND Flonase (I have to rotate because my body starts adapting lol). But if it makes you feel any better, masks really help a lot. Since I've been back in the office and having to wear masks almost all day between public transit and whatnot, I haven't even had to take any of my OTC allergy meds. So if you're following the mask policy you'll probably be ok when it comes to the symptom checking.

I wasn't able to add the note to my reservation. Could be that it's too soon? We check in Sept 7

I'm not at all sure that's positive news, but it's certainly not surprising.

It’s not positive news that there’s an uptick - but positive news Florida will remain ‘open for business’ for people who are looking forward to going to Disney

I can't add it either, my reservation is for July 1st. Maybe the note ability is not open right now

I was able to add notes to my July 9-16 stay, but why do we think this means anything?

you have to put something on the subject line, try that

 

[yulilin3]

alright, lets refocus again.
No COVID talk please

WDW call was uneventful... can switch you to a villa or FW, don't know anything else... blah, blah, blah. So, nothing new.
