Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[hereforthechurros]

Someone just did that today-- I'm sorry, I have no idea what page it was on. One sec...

WTH! I’ve tried twice now to add one day and it’s a hard no. I’m like 0/10 in CM calls. What is the secret to actually getting them to help?!

official website still states:
Later this summer, we will resume sales of 2020 tickets and Disney Resort hotel arrivals, based on availability of park reservations, while we continue to provide Guests with existing tickets and Annual Passholders the opportunity to make park reservations for 2020 dates.

Maybe private message that person... :/ At least it's a chance!

How do they stop people from getting on buses at DS or a theme park and going to another resort?

They are not currently doing that. They could scan your magic band or room key. It's not hard, If Disney wanted to restrict resort access.

I’m pretty sure it was determined that the person had a package.

Back about a thousand pages or so there was some discussion about the quiet pools being open 24 hours. Did that happen?

The Disney Resort update had this:
Pools

• Feature pools may operate with reduced hours; leisure pools are open 24 hours a day

Hypothetical park reservation question - assuming no glitches ( ha), how many days SHOULD j be able to make park reservations for if booking a package for 2021 - 14 day trip, but would do 10 park days
TIA !

The timing of this is uncanny.

Did anyone happen to notice the differences between the additional requirements they have agreed on that are not in place for WDW? Notable pieces bolded
-
"Disneyland cast members, Disney parlance for employees, will receive two weeks sick pay if they have a confirmed case of COVID-19, according to the union agreement.
Employees will be required to conduct an at-home COVID-19 assessment before heading into work and will be provided a thermometer, under the agreement.
Cast members who must work within 6 feet of Disneyland visitors will be provided a plastic face shield.

United Food and Commercial Workers Local 324 submitted a letter to Disney demanding further health and safety measures for Disneyland employees before the Anaheim parks reopen. Those issues include:

• On-site COVID-19 testing for employees
• Company protocols for enforcing the mandatory mask policy with visitors
• Employee procedures for handling confrontations with irate visitors who refuse to wear masks
• Extra cleaning protocols following a positive COVID-19 diagnosis by an employee"

You should be able to book up to all of the days on your ticket. If you have a 10 day ticket, 10 days. If you have an AP, you should be able to book length of stay.

Need Opinions. Especially from Florida folks. I have reservations and tickets/Passes beginning July 11. I don't know what to do!?! Help!!! Please leave your opinion. No fighting! It's my hubs, me another couple and our two boys. I worry about my kids. Thanks in advance!!!!

I don’t think any of us should be answering this for you. It’ll depend on things like where you’re traveling from, your activity level at home, and your general comfort level with the virus.

This virus is new, and the long term impacts of catching it are unknown. There is too much emphasis on living and dying, IMO. You can seriously suffer if you catch this (or not, it’s a roll of the dice) and feel terrible for weeks and weeks, but you’ll live. So yes, very small chance you or a loved one dies but that’s not everything. You need to make your decision based on your own comfort level, but I would urge you to make sure you’re basing it on facts not just other people’s opinions and comfort levels.

I will say, I don’t think anyone should go who is under the impression they aren’t risking exposure doing so.

David from Fresh Baked came out with a video today about the delay of DL. Man, his devastation in his voice and mannerisms makes me feel for him. Maybe (if WDW puts tickets back on sale) he’ll finally be able to make it to WDW. I know he talked about possibly coming to WDW for the re-opening if DL wasnt going to open until well after WDW does

I think gaiters will be fine, but I would say bring a couple disposable, or 1-2 fabric masks down just in case. Unless you’re fine buying a mask from Disney if they dont allow gaiters (in the parks) I think they’re relatively cheap, for Disney standards, I think $6 for a mask?

Here's what is posted on WDW official website (no gaiters not allowed according to this):

Face Coverings

Face coverings are required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) and Cast Members. Please bring your own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when dining or swimming.

All face coverings should:

• Fully cover an individual’s nose and mouth and allow the Guest to remain hands-free
• Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
• Be secured with ties or ear loops
• Be made of breathable material, either disposable or reusable

Costume masks are not considered appropriate and are prohibited from being worn, in alignment with our existing rules.
The use of face coverings is not a substitute for physical distancing.

I called guest services last night and was told that since I already checked in online I didn't need to confirm. To be honest, I didn't think the CM I spoke to was correct. She told me to call the Internet Help Desk about not receiving emails. I did, and the CM I spoke to opened a ticket. Again, confidence is low.

New update from my TA: They told her that emails are being sent out in the masses and they can’t really control it, but they are sending them out because most resorts will be closed. So if people respond they are coming and the resort is closed then Disney contacts those people. She said this cm was much more confident then the one yesterday as far as the confirm emails go.

Did we already discuss what time the AP park res. open tomorrow?

 

[Makmak]

They will have to run the ferry from the MK lot/res center for the people that drive and take lyfts right? Any word on what the line/distancing setup will be for that? I’m not super familiar as we used monorail/bus or Lyft to contemporary lot in the past and don’t know if there’s any sort of walking route in lieu of the ferry.

So are you staying in your house 24/7? People with COVID are everywhere and will be everywhere until a vaccine is developed.

Yes, we are at home the vast majority of the time, but the number of people you come into contact does significantly affect your chance of catching CoVid. The 4 seperate people at my dentist, the 1 person at the vet door, and the 1 grocery curbside delivery person I saw this week in a city with rising but still low caseloads is very low risk compared to thousands of different individuals from across the country and within a hotspot that you will come into contact with as you navigate the resorts and parks. So when evaluating your individual risk tolerance it’s a good idea to know how different factors affect your risk.

I can't either. Was planning on using MNSSHP as a park day and now I can't add another day and I do have it booked as package. If can modify my park days on MDE for my 2021 trips that are booked, but for my 2020 when I click modify it just refreshes the page. When I called, CM said they wouldn't be selling tickets for 2020 until after the July 11 opening...?

 

[MickeyEars]

Do you think we could do the refunds on park hoppers at guest services once we arrive at Disney? We‘ll be at Disney Springs the first night prior to going to a park the next day so I thought I could just do it there.
I would hate to do it over the phone right now and somehow mess up our park reservations which would totally be my luck!!
We arrive July 13.

 

[CastAStone]

Soon

 

[Spridell]

Is anyone talking about this yet?

This is completely out of control if true

So all the AP people who got their park reservations already with their resort stays, don't bother trying tomorrow for single day park reservations.
