Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Thanks. So it has nothing to do with use in the parks as it’s always broadcasting?

It's like I'd you have a toy with batteries, even I'd tore not playing with it as long af the switch button stays on its draining the battery

Seems a little different as the battery is actively powering the long-range RFID continuously as soon as the band is born, as opposed to a slow passive drain on the battery.

Or maybe there is no difference between the two scenarios

Not quite. The way active RFID works there are essentially two main types of active tags: either the tag is constantly broadcasting its ID, or it waits until it's pinged by a receiver and then it replies. If it's the first type, it will use battery power at a constant rate regardless of how often you're in the park. If it's the second, it would use more battery in the parks than it would outside the parks, but eventually the battery will discharge.

Ok engineers, which is it?

There is some confusion about this "news". The news itself is based on an estimate of when vaccination will be deployed sufficiently so as to bring about herd immunity: "With vaccinations happening more rapidly in richer Western countries than the rest of the globe, it will take the world as a whole seven years at the current pace." How long it will take can be affected by increasing the availability of vaccines to those countries that currently cannot get or cannot afford vaccines. Time will tell if the countries lagging behind, including many countries that are DCL ports of call, are aided in coming up to speed.

Tough week on these boards. Wow. Really makes you wonder ...

Thanks to you & @yulilin3 for the countless volunteer hours you spent moderating and contributing. Very much appreciated.

Yeah. First Ryan, and now Julie. Probably overthinking it and it might just be coincidence, but, yeah, you do have to wonder if something's going on.

There’s no doubt in my mind that something is going on. However, I am happy for Ryan and Julie doing what’s right for them, and I have been loving all the people stepping up and sharing news in the news thread.

I think we sometimes forget that many of us enjoyed fireworks at Disney for years without any projections! In some ways, I miss those days as I sometimes find myself wanting to watch 2 things at the same time.

Just a fireworks show without projections would be nice until we can get the full thing back.

I would especially be okay with it if they temporarily brought back Wishes

That’s what I’ve been saying! All your wishes...

Fixed that for you.

Important quote "if vaccine distribution rates stay the same". This is clickbait. It should be obvious to anyone that vaccine distribution rates will keep increasing and will go up even more as new vaccines receive approval.

Fixed that for you.

You know what...I never actually watched Wishes. HEA either. We are there during it, but would be on rides or what not. I did see the fireworks throughout the park though.

I sense an angry mob forming.

You’re going to have your Disney card revoked.

I think Wishes is the stronger show (I will fight you, HEA lovers), but what I really miss is how much less commitment it required. Without the projections, it was so much easier to just watch it from all the different vantage points without missing out on part of the show.

We were only there a few times in the 2000s, so 2000 to be exact, then twice more, then 2017 and that was HEA?

Also, in my defense, it was always during Halloween season so we would be at a party one night, then avoiding MK the non- party nights if we could!

haha! everyone is making shocked faces at my post! Guess what, I've never seen Fantasmic either!
