Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

If a certain site posts that the CMs in the Rise queue picture we’re fired, I’m not posting it this time lol

Spacing looks not that bad actually, family groups can stand together, and the depth of field is making it look worse

Lol...so this is the CEO for the company Disney has contracted to do their screenings right? I mean, don't get me wrong; I'd go tomorrow and it looks like Disneys doing a good job, but I can't imagine this guy would say any different regardless of his true feelings.

I'm a healthcare CEO and we'll be heading there in a week.

I was thinking that too. Tend to forget that these people arent all solo travelers and the cluster might be one group. You do see distancing from people, but you dont know who’s with who so its difficult to really know for sure by a picture

I definitely think markers will go up at the least. I am kind of surprised that they didn't put up some of the plexi barriers that they used in some other attractions. Yes I know its ugly but they could still kinda theme them to match the room and help make it safer than everyone trying to space themselves.

I wonder if it’s being avoided because it ruins the really cool moment where

Spoiler

the doors open and it’s revealed that you actually did move and the hanger is revealed in all its glory, one of the coolest moments of that attraction IMO

. If they can properly control the amount of people entering the space instead, that’s definitely ideal.

If anyone interested, @yulilin3 is currently riding the Falcon as a solo rider

Spoiler: Rise

Since the CMs are playing bad guys in the hangar, they shouldn’t have any problem ordering people to get a move on. Maybe rotate in some CMs who don’t mind being villainous.

Looks like “no masks = no ride photos” is confirmed.

One of the toughest parts of having to postpone our May 2020 trip is many more months of trying to avoid RotR spoilers.

Bloggers aren't making it easy either. Videos from DFB, AllEars, and others frequently include long, spoiler-y clips of RotR with no spoiler warnings.

Is anyone currently at Pop? If so what are the pool hours right now and which are open? TIA

I am not at POP but I saw it reported on another thread that all 3 pools were open 11a-9p.

ETA: I just searched and cant find the post now, so could be wrong.

I would LOVE this! Let them have fun with it while enforcing social distancing and mask wearing.

I agree. I don’t think markers are needed in that room as long as cm control the flow into it from the previous section.

Spoiler

FO officers can make something up about staying six feet apart so that we don’t share resistance secrets or something like that.

Markers would really have a negative impact on immersion and since there’s a way around it, I hope they don’t add any.

For anyone intetested, there is a large pin board in Animal Kingdom back by Primeval Whirl. I have not found the one in MK. If anyone knows where it is, please let me know.

Personally, I dont mind the spoilers. I couldnt wait so I watched every video I could from the opening day. But people and accounts saying “its been open for ____ months, its not a spoiler anymore”. This isnt a movie where pretty much everyone has a movie theater in their town and made the choice not to go see the movie they dont want to be spoiled about months after release. This is an expensive theme park that many, many people dont live in driving distance to. These accounts should be more respectful in the the way they deliver this type of stuff

Runaway Railway with a 60 minute wait seems to be the Magic Carpets of the day. Makes sense since it barely opened before the parks closed and CMs were blocked from DHS at that point.

I did a really good job avoiding MMRR spoilers since we were supposed to be there about 3 weeks after opening, but I finally caved and watched it sometime in April or May, and it was weirdly a big part of letting go of our trip mentally.

So I sympathize for sure!

I doubt there are many who got passes to go with no intentions of going, at least no more than any other AP event. I never read a single comment from anyone here who said they got a ticket and never intended on going. I'm sure there were some who got tickets and didn't go- clearly. I think it's more than reasonable to assume that a great many of them stayed home for the very reason I did. They didn't feel like it was safe to travel to a state with an out of control pandemic going on or they're local and still didn't think it was safe.

I know most had intentions of going. I think Disney probably felt that almost everyone that made a reservation would have shown up. Now that they are selling day tickets tells me they aren't getting as many people they were hoping for.

This comparison is insulting to CoA.

CoA is still a longer line than FoP on day 6.

Yeah I know its a tough balancing act. But right now Disney needs to be safety first, and Im not saying that they arent and I totally expect them to add something to help address the hangar. I totally get that getting in the way of the moment though. Just they way things are for now.

I think RotR would be one of the easier rides to incorporate some social distancing markings on the ground ... if done in a Star Wars 'aurebesh' style font that is recognizable, it would blend in very well with the rest of the attraction aesthetics. The 1st Order CMs can then then direct the guests to follow all Order rules. I wouldn't be surprised if they go in this direction

I have been watching vloggers non stop over the past week and the entrance to SWGE this morning was the first time I would have been uncomfortable in the parks from everything I saw. They might have to limit the number of people allowed into SWGE so the guests spread out to other attractions. It will be interesting to see what it looks like the first few days they open HS to guests. I heard that a lot of CMs haven't been able to ride ROTR because of the lockouts on their passes so maybe they are all flocking there to ride it this morning.
