Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[MrsBooch]

Can I just say I am SO excited about Tron - I've re watched the Disney Parks video from the Tron ride probably 10 times.

Today.

I'm so happy to hear that construction is ongoing. This is probably the first ride I've been excited about since they built Rock n' Roller Coaster in the early 00's.

As far as we know, the capacity hasn’t changed. It would be irresponsible if they did during this hot spot period of time, and they really havent needed to increase the capacity anyway because the parks have been slow. If more people are going to the parks, its because more people are feeling comfortable with going to the parks. Unfortunately Disney can only control that to a certain point (IE telling guests that it might be better to PPD their trip to next year).

As long as they’re still able to enforce the rules with busier park days, thats what matters most. More guests coming in means more money which means less things potentially getting cut from the guest experiences in the future. Hopefully they can control the crowded walkways quickly

Exactly, the parks have not hit capacity yet since opening as they continue to allow resort and ticket holders to make reservations and continue to sell same day tickets

Yes.

I mean, this kind of a good thing right? More people coming, still following rules - it's what we want.

Its nice to see a Disney fan excited for a coaster for a change.

Oh yes, I've hardly seen anyone excited for Tron or Guardians of The Galaxy.

While it's good to see more people in the parks, its not the only thing they need. They need people spending in the park and AP holders tend to be the lowest of all spenders. What they really need is more people staying at the resorts and from many reports, outside of these boards many aren't going.

The OP’s final review comment was “Not at all comfortable.” If that type of review becomes common it will scare away those bigger Non local spenders. Unfortunately, Disney needs to arrange their crowds to make close to everyone comfortable. They were doing great with lower crowds.

I hear more talk of Ratatouille then Tron.

I saw someone compare Epic Universe to Westcot ... like, something eventually likely will go on that spot, but who knows when and whatever is eventually there will look a lot different than the original plan

I agree with that. I think a lot depends on how quickly tourism rebounds.

Right? It’s a shame that before this Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Everest, 7DMT, and RnRC were always walk ons. No love.

I was more talking about people being excited for a new one being built. I see more people excited for Ratatouille then Tron

Well, someone else will say they thought it was great.

All depends on what people read!

Well, let's think about this - Rat is a lot closer to opening than Tron...more discussion as it's sooner...

Guess Universal Hollywood is about to see an enormous influx of guests since they’ll be the only domestic park with Nintendo for a long, long, long time
