Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[sullivan.kscott]

I'll all for it if it will charge up my phone too.

If it’s Qi enabled, yes. So also good for your AirPods or similar

Rteetz, presumably we're not allowed to post the bugs life rant guy video as its hosted at the place we can't mention?

just saw the full video and his comments for why he did it ... apparently it is due to China owning 57% of the Disney corporation and he went there to speak to someone about this and they wouldn't let him speak to anyone even when wearing his mask ... and guess this was the appropriate next step

i saw that.. I'm not sure he's okay. He seems off and I'm not comfortable laughing at him. (Not that you are laughing, i just happened to quote you)

I agree. Maybe a tad bit of schizophrenia going on there.

I think he just wants Facebook views, but I am very cynical these days.

Haven’t (and likely won’t) watch the video(s), but the accounts definitely describe someone who is “off.” Something has caused him to either snap or come off his meds if he was on them. Hopefully he can get the help he needs.
Either way, glad to see uniformed and plain clothes security step in and neutralize the situation safely.

Yay! Something to chew on...

I didn't even realize some of these projects were even on the table, so I guess I'm okay with them being off the table...

So what is an 8 month delay for Rat? Should have opened May/June of 2020, so December/January maybe?

i saw that.. I'm not sure he's okay. He seems off and I'm not comfortable laughing at him. (Not that you are laughing, i just happened to quote you)

I agree with this. He seemed sincere and passionate, but veering into not quite rational at times. Granted, I did not watch the whole thing, but I opened it expecting a few laughs and after watching some bits, think something softer like compassion or concern is the more appropriate response.

Just for the record, I dont think anyone here meant to make fun of him.

Yeah what was original Rat opening? Was it July?

I have a bad feeling you're being overly optimistic about Rat However, not even sure how credible this report is, might be total conjecture for all I know.

It HAS to be open by March at the latest. Inexcusable otherwise.

Woah a lot to consider here. Space 220 could have a holiday open if they deem demand is there. Ratatouille as well.

Does the Princess and the frog theme reject mean the theme itself, or the ride concept under that theme?

So many infinitely delayed...wonder how many will become cancelled as time goes on. And Value engineered sounds like a bunch of half a** stuff will be coming down the pipeline.

Poly is closing for quite a while for it to be only a slight update.

OLC?

Oriental Land Company, which owns and operates Disney Tokyo Resort. This is the first I had heard of the Splash Mountain renovation in WDW being contingent on Disney Tokyo.

It HAS to be open by March at the latest. Inexcusable otherwise.

No No, Christmas week!!!

 

[anthony2k7]

Maybe it needs a new floor like the paris one did not long after opening!? (Joking.... iv no idea what the delay at epcot could be for really).
