Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[hertamaniac]

THIS! Friends, let's spread kindness and start with this thread here and now. Thank you, @rteetz.

Couldn't agree more, but there is a lineage to this too, respectfully. I lost brothers and sisters in New Orleans during Katrina and, although different, there is much too same.

No news yet from Disneyland Paris, but several themeparks in France have announced their re-opening in June: Parc Asterix, Le Pal, Puy du Fou, Futuroscope, Parc Spirou Provence, Walibi Rhone-Alpes, Kingoland and Bagatelle.

Parc Asterix has announced a max capacity of 5.000 guests per day as of June 15th. All big rides will be operational, also open air shows will take place, indoor theater shows are cancelled for now, just like street entertainment. In the park the distance is 3 ft, in queues it's 6ft. In rides and theaters you will need to wear a mask.
The CEO has said that he hopes the capacity can be increased soon as this is not going to work for long.

So with this, I hope and think we can see a reopening date for DLP very soon. Parc Asterix is about 45 minutes North of Disneyland Paris.

Yay! I am supposed to go in October, but was losing hope. We are booked at the new Marvel hotel, but I saw a few weeks ago they said they are delaying opening it until end of October. They haven’t cancelled my reso yet though.
Now I just have to hope they are letting US tourists into the country by then....and that I will be allowed to return home!

Honestly, UO is crushing it. They seem totally on top of everything, good procedures, good communication, onsite guests guaranteed admission, and nothing seems over complicated.

If I didn’t have a vertigo problem that makes the screen rides and the big coasters a no-no for me, we would be looking much more closely at UO. My DS absolutely loves big coasters, so maybe I should just suck it up, LOL.

Do you like Harry Potter? They did a truly awesome job with that.

I found my brief UO trips much more relaxed compared to Disney, might be worth it for a few days if you reach a point where you just wanna get away and forget the world for a few days. I also found their RPR and SF properties nicer than Disney’s. (And the service at RPR was waaaay beyond Disney’s standards.)

I have never done more than 1 park day and 2 hotel nights but this crap going down with Disney (the CL thing with no notification & no answers has me steamed- I don’t believe that person will turn out to be a one-off) has me thinking a few days at UO might be really nice. I’d love a shot at the new Hagrid’s ride...

The Harry Potter stuff at UO is one of the most immersive lands I've ever seen at a theme park. SWGE is good but I think I'd still give the nod to UO. You waslk though that passage and it feels like you are in a different world. Amazing.

We’ve been there 4 times: RPR, 2x PBH (once CL) and HRH. DS loves it. And we have not been to Hagrid’s yet. We have a wand somewhere in the house. Maybe it is time to dig it up.

Cool. I was part of going off-topic but we probably need to back back on-topic for this thread.

So what happens if you don't past temperature check upon check-in? They are going to turn you away with no place to stay? What about people who travel far? That would make me nervous.

Or what about people who strike a fever 5-6 hours later???

 

[Marthasor]

I'm curious if Disney will do temperature checks prior to guests getting on DME? That is assuming DME is running.

I rented a van from the airport just in case DME isn't running...also helps avoid the chaos of the busses each day.

I have a reservation that my broker is listing from July 18-20 at lake view studio at BLT. I’m from NY and don't know if I will have to quarantine. Don’t know how to have you message me if interested.

NY NJ CT 14 day quarantine should be lifted soon one would imagine

just because something isn’t 100% doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing.

Did anyone else get a notification from MDE saying something along the lines of (wish I would’ve screen shotted it) your vacation has been effected please contact tour TA. I have AKL booked for sept 28-oct 6. Cash. Originally booked in April and re booked with free dining (Recovery) for sept. Everything still looks the same in MDE haven’t actually checked on the computer, I know sometimes they can show diff things. Got the notification around 6 cst. Thought for sure I’d see a swarm of ppl talking about it here.

Some on another thread were discussing their room code changed. I think it’s under Resorts - I cannot remember the thread sorry. But yes others were talking about it.

Latest news about DME is that it will be runing but you'll have to get your own baggage from baggage claim.

Also Universal now has a no mask zone set up outside in City Walk between the 2 parks.

.. but you could just take their temperature more often and it would have a better effect, rather than just taking it once a day.. no? Taking it just once a day and giving out a wristband to save someone a few minutes doesn’t seem like the brightest idea.

Then again, other than buying HarryPotter rights, Univeral Studios and their associates don’t have many bright ideas (and I’m a Jimmy Buffett fan).

Unfortunately, there are many families that save up for Disney. To spend money to go, and there is potential you could get sent away because of a high temperature and you don't have a place to stay, that is not worth doing for some people. If there is a possibility that the hotel won't check you in or ask you to leave early, I think that should be made clear to guests.

Right now, if I were to go, I know I can't go in park if I am found to have a high temperature. Back-up plan is to stay in the hotel. But if I can't go to hotel, that's a problem.

ETA: looking back, I think I misinterpreted the quoted comment to mean going on vacation instead of temperature check. But for my response, I still think this could be a concern for some families.

Thanks MMSM but I’m in the same boat as you - I have a reservation at Beach Club but don’t know if Canada-US borders will be open, so thinking of listing it with a broker too. My previous message clearly wasn’t clear enough!
