Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

First look at new security at AK and they are using the contactless bag scanners - though also seems like some people being manually checked - I wonder if the scanner had a problem reading their bags (my wife's had issues with the scanner at Hershypark)

I think it’s just worded oddly. She’s trying to say that there is at least 1 hotel in each of these counties at capacity, not that the counties are out of capacity.

Plus it happens all the time, even before Covid, normal hospital capacity management

I wonder if contactless is just for guests without bags for now? I can’t see much in those photos.

As part of our phased reopening, guests can now book additional dining and experience reservations at Walt Disney World® Resort.

From dining inside Beast’s castle at Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom® Park and the culinary adventures of World Showcase at EPCOT®, to select table-service restaurants in our Disney Resort hotels, guests can take advantage of a 60-day booking window beginning today, July 7 to plan meals and other experiences.

To help you plan, here are important updates to our food and beverage experience:

• In-Park Dining: Theme park guests will need valid park admission and a reservation for park entry through the new Disney Park Pass system, as well as a dining reservation for in-park, table-service restaurants for the same park on the same date. Dining reservations do not guarantee admission to the park.
• Disney Resort Hotel Dining: A confirmed dining reservation is required for day guests and reservations are highly recommended for guests staying overnight at a Disney Resort hotel.
• Disney Springs Dining: Select dining locations at Disney Springs are currently accepting reservations.

It’s disturbing that there are people who Liked that comment.

I take thumbs up to be agree rather than like usually. I dunno though sometimes

All CMs at the turnstiles are in masks and shields both.

Clusterf... why does this surprise me everytime. They know how early people show up, they know how to park cars. Now hundreds are people are going to be getting out of their cars and fast walk to bag check. Ay Disney

Is that the new parody site you're going to start now that you've got the gist of SiDisney down? AyDisney.com !

It’s disturbing that there are people who Liked that comment.

I just think those "like" reactions are more like a head nodding in agreement reaction, but that's not a choice on the boards. More often than not like isn't the emotion, but just an agreement.

Yeah, I am not sure what the right reaction for "I agree with you but don't like the information in your post" is

And that isn't fair especially with shorter hours

They could have just been 15 minute intervals though so people wouldn't have lost a huge amount of time - but it would have managed the flow a bit more.

Ogas modified? Maybe just booths, no actual bar service.

Why was Bar Riva removed?!?! Ugh!

That’s fine for CM previews but when the buses start coming with resort guests it would become impractical.

That makes sense but you know how people are......... they still would've been early

Screenshot from @yulilin3 live stream of the Castle - definitely looks different depending on how the light hits it

Might not be as big of a deal if the buses only hold 20 people instead a hundred. Could also be why no trams, walking will make it be a trickle of people coming up vs hundreds getting off the tram at once.

In recent pictures I've seen it looks a lot better then when I first saw it...maybe it's just growing on me but does seem a bit less in your face pink now.

It seems to really vary depending on how the light hits it. When right in it the pink seems bolder and the turrets seem almost purpleish, but then when not right on it the pink is muted and turrets are more blue.

Kind of neat to get the different looks throughout the day

Seems odd that it would say the experience is modified in regard to the seating or standing arrangement, but I suppose you’re right that not being able to be at the bar would be a modified experience for those who especially want to do that.
