Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Jrb1979]

Yup. The big concern is the rate of positive tests and more so the rate of hospitalizations not necessarily the number of cases.

I don't care about that. More cases means its still around so the need to practice social distancing should still be in place. We can reopen things just keep social distancing measures in place

The ability to do the right thing has nothing to do with “Culture” .

The ability to do the right thing and the willingness are two very different things, as evidenced by the last couple weeks.

And don’t even get people started on what is the right thing...

Do you think that's implying a tax credit for taking a domestic vacation?
That would be a pretty big help for the airlines just to name one.
I am so close to canceling my early August week at the Poly for a week over Christmas at CBR. Costs are very similar when I include airfare. I've just been thinking things might be settled down a lot more by then, not to mention avoiding the summer heat and never have ridden the skyliner.

Feels like the home buyers credit. No idea why you want to encourage travel during a pandemic.

Can't wait to start flying again. It will be different but I welcome it.

Who would ever encourage travel during a pandemic?

This says a vote could happen Thursday that would allow smaller parks to open as soon as Friday. Funspot said they would open Friday if approved and Gatorland on Saturday. No date for ICON.

These places were still running about a week after the major parks closed. Not that it’s a 1:1 comparison but it’s another small step towards Universal and Disney.

Ditto. And the Orange County task force said there was a focus this week in the planning to open orange county’s “smaller attractions”.

The President mentioned today during his press conference with restaurateurs that he was proposing an "Explore America" domestic travel tax credit. Will be interesting to hear what this entails and if the VP mentions it during his time in Orlando this week.

Link?

I think the timeline we will see is:

Wednesday - Pence meets with task force
Thursday - Small parks vote to reopen and do so over the weekend.
Friday- DeSantis announces approval for Disney and Universal to open on their proposed dates which will be early June for Universal and Mid-late June for Disney.

Who would espouse treatments using household cleaners?

Good point.

 

[TexasChick123]

Disney needs to hurry up and figure it out! Our governor said today that they’re waiting on guidance from Disney to see what they need to do here in TX for theme parks. He actually said that!

 

[hertamaniac]

No date for ICON.

ICON park is already in a partial opened phase.

I think you are close but I think Disney and Universal will open within days of each other, not weeks

Who would ever encourage travel during a pandemic?

They have been researching for over 30 years on a vaccine against the HIV virus without solving the challenge. About 35 million believe to have died of HIV so far, only in 2016 and 2017 nearly 2 million died of HIV / AIDS complications.
The Covid-19 vaccine will take time, and until then follow Disney guidelins, wash hands and if one are in the risk groups maybe wait till it is safe ? I will where a mask

One other note on cases.

I am not sure about other states, but most places here in AL are requiring people to get COVID tests before any of the elective procedures (think colonoscopies, endoscopies, MRIs, ultrasounds) and even things like PT. If there truly is a sizable portion of asymptomatic carriers, I suppose that you will also start to see some of that as well.

I live in MA. Any procedure at the hospital requires a covid test first. We're not quite at the elective phase here yet. I had an essential surgery last Monday and had to get a covid test the Friday before. Planned c-sections and inductions need covid tests in advance. They're doing 30 minute tests for births and emergencies.

Who would ever believe that’s what someone said to do??

There is no way Disney would let UOR be open too long before them and visa-versa.

I agree, I think their timelines will be very similar for reopening, if not the same day.
