Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[mikejuliestl]

We will find out tomorrow. Universal is doing it that way.

Not really. Sure the first 4 days but I don’t think that qualifies as no resorts.

The Gaylord Palms convention center is scheduled to reopen June 25. I don't have a link, the information was in a email I got for a postponed convention.

First real hotel that we have info on opening that matches the size of WDW hotels.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

I could see a faster opening meaning parks only, even phasing the parks in one by one. I think that P word (phased) may be important.

I do think if we hear June it doesn’t necessarily mean resorts, and our June/July planners don’t get to get off their roller coaster tomorrow.

(All speculation)

 

[cakebaker]

correct, it doesn't say that restrooms will be open either...

This is true- maybe they’ll do portapotty’s.

why am i simultaneously excited like Christmas Eve before bed, but also want to jump off the roof from stress?

'cause you might be getting a new bike and you might be getting socks

The Orange County department of health was on site at Walt Disney World and SeaWorld earlier today to review their procedures for reopening, which is part of the signoff for tomorrow.

Wonder where they toured specifically - which parks(s) and if any resorts. Might be a clue.

Well, we had a least 2 pages of smiles and upbeat before we went down the rabbit hole of gloom and doom. I’m going to stay happy though! We’re finally getting some real news!

 

[Krandor]

It probably will be missing, since that's not necessary info for the task force. I'm sure we'll get it over the next few weeks (hopefully just weeks....) as we get closer to whatever the date is! If not, we'll learn on the DisBoards when the parks open & we all go there!

Agree and universal still hasn't given that info and they have their first day open in about a week.

Updated Agenda for meeting is here:

SeaWorld goes first, followed by Disney

Attached also if mobile doesn't work.

Ours starts June 27th. It is split, so we’d lose a few days with a July 1, a vast majority of it with a July 5. I actually have a ton of just in case reservations so as to not get caught in the tail end of a cut off. Honestly, I don’t even know now how many...it’s crazy.

Ha! We have the exact same situation. Are you staying until July 7th? At the Fort?

Universal has not announced an opening plan for their resorts.

You know you could just quote people.

Interesting that the official announcement says phased reopening of the theme parks, no mention of hotels...

Hotels weren’t included in UOR presentation. I think that is because the task force doesn’t have anything to do with them...

honestly, for the internet, that is pretty good! Go team!

I am so very excited to get news tomorrow, but don’t want to get my hopes up too high. It really is a rollercoaster.

Also I saw someone mention that they got a survey for a Loews property at Universal, I forget which one. I got one for Cabana Bay sometime in the past few days, which is the last UO resort we stayed at, just the same kind of questions as the pp, asking when we would next travel and what I would be expecting.

If I remember correctly, hotels have been given much more latitude in their choices about reopening, so Disney will likely focus more on the mechanics of their parks specifically. However I would be surprised if there is no update related to hotel reservations and who exactly is given priority for park entrance while capacity is limited.

 

[Eric Smith]

Speculation - they don’t hype this up just to tell people August or even July. I think something (they did say phased) is coming in June.

I’d be surprised if the opening was any later than June 15

 

[JacknSally]

This is true- maybe they’ll do portapotty’s.

Well, we just found my trip-cancelling point.

Soooooooooooo who's muting it during public comments, and who's going to be hanging on every word? Lol.
