Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

In addition, Artemis Fowl moving from 5/29 theater release to be released straight on Disney+. Doesn’t sound like Disney even thinks movie theaters will be open by Memorial Day.

I know this is sad, but my daughter is going to be so happy to hear this. She has been waiting for this movie for years. Originally it was set to be in theaters last year, and got pushed to this May. She wanted to go for her birthday. Considering we will might be indoors still this will be an amazing little birthday gift for her. Although, the thought of being still stuck inside by then does make me sad.

I wondered what would happen to Top Gun.

• Table Service Restaurant
• Bus Stop and Covered Walkway
• Security Kiosk
• Transportation Dock
• Pool Restroom building

While construction has been halted due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, paperwork seems to be moving along in anticipation of getting back to work. The permits all have an expiration date of April 2021.

Right, my point was that a lot of people think Disney world will be open by 6/1... but if disney is canceling the theatrical release of a movie on Memorial Day weekend, it adds to the speculation that Disney realizes things will not be “back to normal” by 6/1, and Disney world will not be open by 6/1.

I work in the museum world in Massachusetts and the Museum of Fine Arts here just announced they will be closed through at least 6/30. Our peak is estimated to be in in the next 2-3 weeks so we are ahead of Florida by a a bit. I think June 1 for WDW seems way too early.

Some things could be open and still not be back to normal. Before all this, movie release dates have been shifted months ahead to not be fighting with another highly anticipated release.

Estimating the parks reopening is a very fluid task, based on ever changing facts. Where I live just today (Toronto suburbs) our town and the small city next to us have cancelled all permits to their properties.. both indoor facilities and parks/conservation areas/trails etc - up to and including Canada Day Celebrations.. July 1st.

This has been done to extend the social distancing, public distancing that is already in place. Done based on the ever changing statistics and models that track the virus, it’s estimated peak, and the length of a safe recovery period.

Of course. But that’s not what happened here. Movie still being released on the same day. The big Memorial Day weekend release... just to people’s homes rather than theaters.

SOme of the movies may also be falling into issues of post filming wrap and finishing up stuff before release that can't be done right now.

More so the big marketing pushes are not possible now.

 

[hertamaniac]

I'd take a limited experience over what we can do now any day!!

As such, would you or anyone else that agrees, be willing to fund my potential losses via a new external account (said in jest)? I hear crickets without substance.

I was thinking about this last night...

I live in Winter Garden and I can tell you that the construction folks are hard at work... I live in neighborhood in, which is only about 3 years old and they just opened the last phase (4)... and they are working back there, last week... putting in and running the water lines, as well the electric box are going in, the have been marking a walking trail, and laying out the dog walk/park....in the first phase they are working on the lake front homes... all new construction... they just poured 2 or 3 slabs last week.... As well across the street from our development is another new neighborhood going in, they are building like crazy everyday when I walk you can see the all the construction crews working... The only difference that I can see, is that you only see one trade at a time working on a house a couple of guys..normally you see several trades working on a house at the same time...

Winter Garden: Do you know if the construction on DW property continues? Roads, parks, etc/

Here in CT, the statewide “peak” will be in 2-3 weeks, but if you break it down by county, it’s really the county just outside of NYC that will peak in 2-3 weeks, while the northern county (only about 2 hours away) won’t peak until late May.

 

[anthony2k7]

Agreed, it will be in stages, Disney Springs being first, then the resorts, then water parks, then MK (might be HS studios though because rider queues might be able to be managed better there), might as well keep Epcot closed to fast track/finish construction.

I think the resorts will be in phases as well. They wont fill them all for a long time so why open them all together?

In limited capacity I believe.

 

[yankeesfan123]

In limited capacity I believe.

there have been photographs of maintenance vehicles in the parks. I believe there must be some upkeep in small teams/individually still going on at least.

Yes there are still essential cast in the parks running rides and doing maintenance. I was more speaking to actual construction projects.
