Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[DGsAtBLT]

I'm not sure I could qualify myself as happy.

But, I think I've reached that tipping point, just past devastated that it's impossible to get any more disappointed so....you just have to laugh it off because if you don't, you'll cry.

This is the space I’ve lived since April or so.

I cried so much over the lost trip, my kids lost activities, school suddenly ending, not seeing family, and all this crap that has come along with COVID, that I’m at the point where I have to just laugh it off. What a ridiculous freaking year.

I can't give details. I'd be completely out of line and could cause an issue for a couple of people. All I can share as it pertains to aps is the options being discussed would all be fair. They just have to decide which plan works best

Thank you for the reassurance that they are discussing options!

Lets take 2020 and throw it in the trash.

You'd be surprised

See my last post - No I wouldn't be surprised at this point!

Transportation

I thought that as well, but they specifically already talked about transportation in their previous statements, including mentioning the monorail and buses. Not that I think Disney wouldn't change their mind...but a day later? That much I doubt.

If transportation was even a little bit in doubt, I don't think they would have mentioned it yesterday.

Apologies. I'll step back

You are good!!!

Do you think it could be Magical Express? I wasn’t sure if that fell under buses or something else.

But couldn't the buses just be TTC to MK when the boats can't run for weather...it didn't have to be resort to MK...

EDIT: And PP's Magical Express - I figured that was a done deal for getting chopped...

Let’s be real here. I wouldn’t have went anyway cause of all the stuff they are taking away....But taking away fast passes and ADR, I wouldn’t even go if everything else was back to normal. I love those things. I’m not waiting on normal lines. I live that fast pass ADR LIFE

It’s ok. Those bricks are slowly coming off the shoulders. They are making vacation decisions easy to decide...

I have a feeling Disney is about to see the cancellations start rolling in...

 

[Anna_Sh]

I do enjoy the idea of sleeping in on my Epcot day though

You’ll need it if you plan to join what I’m sure will be a stampede for the restaurants in WS

Disney just announced all dining, experiences, and fastpasses will be cancelled for the rest of 2020...Also, still no governor approval...

Oh we know

I agree. But they are expecting it

 

[andyman8]

TAs are about to find out that WDW doesn't have to cater to them. Rude awakening happening in the next couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, I think ticket resellers and TAs are going to be in for a rough few months ahead.

WHAT?!?!

 

[Sandiz08]

Im thinking resorts are next or non dvc doesn't open until August. Maybe everyone that has a current resort reservation gets wiped and gets a slot in a lottery for the resorts that will be open to make it fair.

I could see it becoming a non-complimentary service, but it's too important to keeping guests in the Disney bubble. No ME, more people are renting cars or driving down, and then they could easily dally over to UO one day.

ETA: who knows, though!

 

[Anna_Sh]

I’m thinking it might help them with the chaos in the long run if they have fewer people to work with.

That's why the data shows that the percent of positive cases have been going down? On May 3rd, the percent if positives were 3.58...On May 17 it is down to 2.27.

Cases are going up because they are testing more than they have before (April 17 they tested roughly 68k, may 18, over 120k). But percentage of those coming positive are going down. For reference, during the peak back in April, it was near 7%

Again, I'm not trying to argue or debate this - I'm just quoting what the doctors said in the meeting where Disney announced this plan.
