Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Holy heck those temps call for, pants, I guess ... maybe a long sleeve t-shirt

I'd be wearing flip flops and a puffer coat at night (New Englander). We go in December a lot and the cold nights can be downright miserable when you're waiting for fireworks, though that wouldn't be an issue this year. I'm also currently sitting at my desk at work in a puffer coat.

Being from the north, I can only say the following. I can take the heat and humidity fine at WDW and up north I can take the cold because the humidity is low. But I've found it's a very different world at WDW when it's both cold AND humid. We were at WDW back in January 2010, and the nights with low temps, humidity and a steady breeze were particularly brutal. I remember feeling sorry for the Tinkerbell CM at MK during the nighttime fireworks show.

How many people have cancelled their vacation because mask use is required?

A number of folks actually. We’ve had DIS vets cancel and state they’re not returning until masks are gone.

Yeah. Everyone I know that goes regularly is waiting. Folks that take at least one trip a year.. All state about the same sentiment... they all wear them for the necessary trips to stores, doctor's office and such but no way would they wear one to vacation and relax. To them and me, counterintuitive. Its a temporary requirement that is necessary now but its a tool for survival and not a new lifestyle.

I have cancelled multiple trips. I don’t think my two year old will keep one on for an extended trip. My wife and I are only taking her for one day. Once she’s over it we will leave. If we only last a couple hours that’s fine.

Same here-Have not used my AP purchased last year yet. Will not use/return with watered down experiences. I have doubts for 2021.

Would they be going if masks weren't required, though? Or still avoiding it due to the pandemic?

Absolutely 100% this. Up here, you get used to cold, no problem. Down in Orlando... brrrr..... it goes right to your bones because of the humidity.

We haven't canceled any trips but probably won't go back (into the parks) until masks are no longer required. Wife and I went in Sept and it was just too uncomfortable in the heat and humidity. The upside is that we probably spent more "resort time" than ever that trip.

we haven't cancelled trips but Disney cancelled ours twice. And now I have went back once, no problems and are going back again in 9 days. I wear a mask all day when I travel for my work and do it in a lot hotter environment than Disney and I am used to it. Will gladly wear it to vacation in my favorite spot. Taking my four year old grandtinker that has to wear hers everyday as well at her preschool. She is used to it as well. Wife is manager of a bank and of course has to wear hers. Daughter is RN in Cardiac unit at hospital. All of us will have them on all the time. Looking forward to it!

Ours will be cancelled if they remain required.

We would only go now if masks were required.

My daughter is a charge nurse in a high risk maternity ward and wears one all day, as well. I went to visit her (she's out of state) and I laughed whenever she got into the car...she forgot her mask was even on because she doesn't even think about it.

Hope you and the family all enjoy your trip!

At contempo right now, the app is not working for me so ordered food the old fashioned way. Heading to mk in about 10 min and streaming on my yt page, first time going to a park that is completely sold out, very interested to see how it feels

Well they are required and have been since reopening...

I’m interested to hear your take on the crowds!!

You reminded me, the worst part of my trip by far was the app. I had to delete and reload it multiple times a day to try to make it work. Freaking thing drove me bonkers. #DisneyIT

(Worst was at Topolino’s when mobile check in didn’t work. They explained to me a couple times that everyone had to use mobile checkin now and how to do it and COMPLETELY ignored me when I said I understood but my app didn’t work. I literally had to prove to them it didn’t work and to do so I had to go sit down and watch it twirl away for a couple minutes while the CM stood RIGHT next to me to apparently watch my incompetent self. Even after a couple minutes she said “keep waiting!” I was so annoyed I deleted the app as she watched instead of waiting another couple minutes in stupidly close proximity to her and suddenly they were able to check me in old school in like <30 seconds. No other restaurant gave me grief like that about checking in when the app glitched. And they weren’t busy, no one else was checking in, it was 3 CMs standing around chatting with each other until I interrupted ) I was concerned from reports Disney was pushing the app so hard they were creating incidents of not only mad customers but also increased close contact exposure between CMs and guests. Concern was valid.

I was just going to add that. FL 40s/50s can be COLD. I live in NOLA & we always say that. My friend lives here & is from Ohio & has said the same thing.

At BCV now, seems really empty for being full. Is the BC and YC open? And more importantly full to?

In room menu if interested?
