Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Jrb1979]

Well then we agree! I think they will be open with markers on the floor and people will still be able to order what they want and have it made then and there.

I think there will be restaurants open and they will have worked out social distancing between the tables.

I agree. Bars might be a different story. Pools are probably going to be a no go for the time being.

I think with bars they will no longer allow seating at the bar, it will probably more restaurant like. You can sit with your own party a table, but you know, socially distant from everyone else. You'd either have a waitress or perhaps we order on our phones and someone just brings to table.

Who knows!

My guess is we see more limited and standard food offerings across the board in Disney, at least at first. Not out of fear or thinking it prevents spread, but they are notorious for doing this anyways, I won’t be surprised to see it as cost cutting/stream lining measure.

I think some are.

I mean you could say the same thing about potential restrictions at Disney, that people say when they say they are afraid to go out because of the virus. If you don't like the restrictions, don't go.

Sure they can clean. But how would they change the bed and pick up all the towels without it touching their arms or clothes. And you'd have them change clothes before going into the next room?

Tag team? One person takes away all the dirty linens and towels, cleans the room, and then another person is the designated clean towels/linens?

I said this above - I have to wonder if a lot of people just don't live in densely populated areas. Where I live, how I commute to work, I'm packed in with more people everyday than I've ever been at Disney!

Perhaps that colors how people view the restrictions.

i can’t wait until we get some real updates and operational news

 

[sromanello815]

Maybe? Again I have no idea. However, I don’t think a CM was being sinister and giving out fake info just to do it.

People are going to believe what they want until official announcements are made.

What was the info he gave out?

 

[Farro]

Some of it may last, especially if they open quicker to appease the masses.

Social distancing, I'm sure they will do their best. Hand sanitizing stations, absolutely. Wiping down rides, that would be nice if stays for good!

Doesn't matter what we think. Disney, if they plan to open, are going to do what they think is the safest and most feasible way to re-open. If people don't like the restrictions? They don't have to go.

The things you see in stores right now are the biggest changes we will see, markings on the floor, spacing etc , masks recommended, very frequent cleaning of surfaces. My favorite is the one way aisles in stores, lets just say that while good effort in practice doesn't work so well, that discussion is for another thread though.

These new procedures etc. will ease once we get more info on the virus on the most effective way to protect from it and who to protect. Over the next few months you will see them ease up in the general public and in the parks, parks will lag about 1-2 months. There will be concern about the fall winter flu season, so that might cause some of the things to hang around until next spring.

It’s going to have to take a complete overhaul in what has been standard practice at Disney in recent years for any of this to work.

They’re going to have to be willing to staff things at a level that they previously wouldn’t have, because they would cut the cost of it instead. They’re going to have to be willing to back their CMs during “disagreements” with guests. They’re going to have to empower these CMs to actually enforce the rules. They may have to rely on their tech working well in a way they didn’t previously.

Going to be interesting to see what they can pull off when they’ve got no choice.

I thought we were just discussing and speculating. Obviously they are going to do whatever, but I can still express my thoughts about it.

Man, I feel bad for the CM's who have to be enforcing these rules to guests who undoubtedly won't listen. But that's where security comes in. Follow the rules, or leave.

I heard?

I'll make a decision if I want to go when the time comes. I'm not worried. But I don't see what's wrong with discussing what we think is needed and what would be overkill.

I mean if we wait for Disney to announce something before we could post we'd all have to leave the thread!

There is no need for a "complete overhaul", changes yes "complete overhaul" not so much

Any guesses on what time the thread gets shut down tonight?

 

[SaintsManiac]

Did you read the entire thread? There’s a big post pages back about what a CM said today to someone here.

lol no hard feelings - my comment wasn’t directed to you! This thread is just getting so long and hard to filter through for actual update & news.

It’s all the same “if there are restrictions i’m not going”. Which is fine, but why do we have to keep have the same convo each and every day. I’m just desperate for actual news and facts.
