Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[jlwhitney]

May is in less than a week

This is all prep work, they most likely won't open Disney Springs until May, first few weeks of May.

I imagine we will get an announcement this week from Disney right around when the schedules go out for CM's for Disney Springs for the next week or two.

Ack! I meant he said he doesn’t expect them opening in may

I agree all movie theaters statedie probably won't be until late May, just mentioning the rumor that is out there. Since that facility is so large perhaps they can operate easily at 50% or less capacity there, close small screens/theaters etc.

With this news still sticking with my predictions of Springs early to mid May, resorts June, and parks in July, with now adding a soft open of MK in late June.

Here we go. As most of you remember I posted up about the May 19th opening and all the guidelines I was given by my insider source. Here is the latest update I received yesterday. And to clarify, my source works for Disney though not a CM the way we view most CM's. My source is not front line, not phone, not DVC. Think above all that. Anyway,
June 1st WDW opens.
MK, AK, HS, DS and 1 water park. Mini Golf also opens. EP is on the table but may not open for a few weeks only because of the international employees they will need to bring back.
All WDW resorts open including the Wyndham resorts. Pools and Arcades will be open. Club Level lounges will be open only for coffee, soft drinks and adult beverages. Pre packaged snacks and fruits will be made available. No Breakfast, evening small plates or any CM prepared foods.
To enter a park you have to either be a resort guest with tickets or an AP holder. Everyone will be required to wear a Magic Band. If you don't have one, a complementary gray one will be issued.
All restaurants on property, except buffets, will be open with strict social distancing enforced.
Ride ques will enforce spacing between groups.
All walkways will operate like a road. Stay to the right.
No dessert parties or private tours with the exception of the VIP tour.
FP+ will be available but No single rider lines.
Busses, ferry boats, Monorail and Minnie Vans will be in operation. Uber and regular Lyft will not be available.

This is all tentative so please don't make any plans based on what I wrote. Things at WDW are very fluid and changing daily. I will update if I get any more information.

For now I am still keeping our May 21st trip because the May 19th date is "Still on the table" but will most likely not happen. I do have a June trip booked as a backup so I'm not really worried either way.

Thank you for sharing this. I would be content with that.

Interesting. I could easily accept those conditions but would definitely change the CL portion of our stay if those rules were still in effect in early July regarding CL. Hopefully Disney announces what they’re doing soon. I appreciate your post, skeptical as always but hoping you’re right!

Seems a lot of different people have "sources" with different "news", just sayin'...

I'm assuming Skyliner running as well? Loved it when we were there in Feb.!

If buffets are closed I wonder if places like Chef Mickeys will still do some type of service.

So Phase 1 opening is really a WDW Phase 3 closure...

I do not see why the arcades would be open. That seems like the worst place for spreading the virus on property.

I have several dessert parties and the WAT booked and really not bothered if they are canceled. The only thing is that I would expect the firework/projection shows to also be canceled which I do not see on your list. If my parties are canceled but the fireworks still happen then that is questionable.

Any hope of a fireworks show at MK for the 4th of July ? That would be worth going for even if a lot of other things are cut back.
