Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

If the 2020 ornaments don‘t include the characters in masks , or the Disney mask ornament collection ( like that year of shoe ornaments) it will be a missed opportunity. You could even include an ornament of angry Donald because he doesn’t want to wear one. Good times.

Oh I was just looking at the dated 2020 ornaments on ShopDisney and I am absolutely getting the one with Mickey & Minnie and giving them little masks

There is only so much you are going to do for something that is very temporary. I'm honestly surprised they are putting this much work into it. If it was permanent or close to permanent I'd agree but this is only a few months. As somebody said they may add some posters or something to it.

Right, it's just for a couple of months. It'll be gone afterward and everyone will forget about it.

I truly think that fence should be the least of someone’s concerns who is actually attempting Disney with all its issues during the timeframe the NBA is at the GF. Kinda like next time I go to Disney put it on record that I won’t give one single care if the crane is out lol. Bigger fish to fry.

Im glad they made it so VGF guests have access to the amenities (most) and are not basically limited to their building.

I know to think earlier this year I was worried that there would be a bunch of cranes and other things impeding the view on cinderellas castle. I’d love to go back to be worrying about that rather than if my trip next year can actually happen with this virus.

It’s kind of surreal to remember that time. To think worrying about boarding groups was a thing . I would have loved to just be able to make it to the resort we had booked at this point.

That blue fence tarp is see through. Whats the point? That makes me believe they will be adding to it.

Yeah I remember people stressing out about BGs and practicing for 2-3 weeks before their trip so they could make sure they had it right...lol

 

[mmackeymouse]

Well...they can make it up to me by bringing back the Afternoon Tea, pianist and orchestra.

That way if I can’t SEE the beautiful luxury that I paid for... I can at least feel the luxury I paid for.

The virus can travel through a see through tarp? I must have missed that memo.

The purpose is to keep people from walking to the area. If you can see them fine. That isn't the point. Guests not in the bubble still can't get closer then the tarp.

I resemble that remark

Well they won't want crowds of people huddled around to look at them. That tends to happen with fans of these athletes.

The athletes can simply not go near the tarp fence. Problem solved.

 

[Jrb1979]

FIFY

 

[MickeyWaffles]

Well this may come across as entitled but I’m just gonna say it. Grrrrrrrr

There had to be a more aesthetically pleasing way to do it. Put security on each of the paths that need to be blocked off. Glass fence. I dunno.

But blocking off VGF guests in this way that not only do they not have access to the rest of the resort... they don’t have visual access to it either.... poor. Just poor.

Other than physically blocking guests, the whole point is to is to have the view blocked so the players have privacy. You don’t want people lining up taking photos and acting creepy, as people do.

I don’t think this is a big deal at all and people are just looking for things to be angry about at this point. As a DVC member, I personally would be able to deal with a blue fence, especially if I had access to the villas, the main building, the pool, etc. I personally don’t really understand any outrage over this.

So this time I was expecting the numbers we saw today at least....

Really hoping by Tuesday we see it go the other way or at least hospital stats stay steady.

Everyone just be safe. Going to WDW or not.

“Do the right thing” is very subjective. You’re assuming they arent doing the right thing by having approved safety measures in place, while also providing people with an income. As Pete said in his video yesterday, he hasn’t seen anyone so happy to be at work than CMs working at the Disney resorts right now.

So while you may think shutting everything down is doing the right thing, that doesnt mean that what you’re suggesting is “right” to anyone other than you

I’ll start with saying I am Canadian also.

The one thing I see that we are doing differently Is that as life is opening back up it’s still being done with A LOT of social distancing. In our province we can form a bubble of 10 people that we get close to but other than that, social gatherings must still be kept to 10 or less and are socially distanced. We’re getting together with small groups of friends but meeting outdoors and staying apart.

The pictures I see on social media of people suddenly getting together with many people or, frequently with many different people with little/no social distance is a concept we don’t have at this time and right now, it’s working.

canada’s population is about 1/3 larger than FL and we are averaging 400 cases a day or less.

Open yes but stay apart.

For real. I was so concerned about boarding groups and which Fastpasses to choose for HS. Even just a few of months ago, I thought our biggest problem would be not being able to park hop since I figured they'd open with reduced capacity. I never would imagined that at this points we'd have 9k cases in a single day in Florida, no FPs, dining reservations cancelled, etc.

Oh for sure. I remember worrying about if MMRR would be a boarding group and if I’d be able to get my daughter to the park on time if it was. Oh to go back to those simpler times.

But that's what they've been doing. They had just made it past that first phase. Can't stay at 10 people forever. They opened slowly and then when things still looked ok they opened up more. Rinse and repeat. Now they've pulled back a bit by closing the bars again.

People are acting like they just wham opened everything up. They didn't. They've been opening in stages since early May.
