Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[AmberMV]

Highly unlikely. As I said. Day guests even when they can purchase tickets over the first few months will be a very small group. Current resort guests with ressies and ap holders, likely mostly in state, will make up the majority of the property park attendance.

What's the significance of "mostly in-state" APs? I'm in Florida but I know there are a lot of out of state APs on this board

So, Remy, I am just clinging to last night (was it last night?) when you said that everything will be reevaluated in approx 6-8 weeks after park opening. With all the changes last night/today, it just makes it seem that these restrictions are more longterm. I keep reassuring myself that they are going to look at everything again and possibly lift some restrictions sooner if they feel it's safe. Right? Our current reservation (after 4 cancelled) is end of October and I am so hoping things have at least a chance of changing by then. I feel like you have all the info...

Because in state APs can go at any time. Out of state would need to stay in a hotel, and can’t be making reservations right now. However, I can choose to go at any time because it’s just a half hour drive for me.

Welcome to Disney! We have 4 parks, 7 rides, 8 restaurants and 4 hotels open!
Reserve now!

And no busses for your added pleasure

Why wouldn't Star Wars Galaxy's Edge work? Would it be closed off completely? Or just ROTC and smaller shops maybe?

 

[Raggou]

Opposite problem. Everyone with a room (currently) won’t get into the parks.

Wait? Let me understand this right you think everyone that currently has a resport reservation wont get int the parks?

Wouldn’t shock me to see the whole land closed off. To avoid the congestion in that area. Both rides would be untenable with social distancing, as would Oga’s, droids, Savis, and most of the shops.

I agree that park hopping seems to be unlikely as a matter of practicality since demand will probably outpace capacity early on, but I would think the system could still at least allow for it kind of like a fast pass for a second park in the same day. Once you've "used" your reservation, you can get a new one if available.

They have to get the system to do what they want it to do to start with.

Exactly. Universal probably also has a higher proportion of local guests and even to the extent a Universal guest is an out of towner on a once-in-a-lifetime trip, its still probably just as a day or two add-on to a longer Disney trip. At worst you could be looking at a hardcore HP fan just flying into do Universal, but even then they are only likely to stay a day or two so we are talking a significantly cheaper trip that is far easier to reschedule. Not to mention that Universal is simply a much simpler operation.

You people kill me.Why are you so snarky towards UO? Disney's the big cheese,right? Hmmmmm......

I am sure of it.

No plenty threads have went over 1000 pages.

Might be one of the quickest to that point though

 

[tinkerhon]

I keep thinking about social distancing and in the "Its tough to be a bug" preshow waiting area

This may be the fastest one to get to 1k though. Been lurking a long time finally decided to hoin some 500+ pages back during all this crazy

I would think so. They need to cut down the amount of resort reservations at this time. My guess is there are still too many rooms occupied for the reopening time and they’re hoping more cancel or they’ll forcefully cancel them when they announce which resorts won’t be opening.

Probably because even if the park is at reduced capacity, it would be hard to meter access into that area to allow for social distancing, because its so popular at the moment.

But those APs that already have hotel reservations will be fine.

Hahaha I was trying to figure out why you were mentioning Stitches Great Escape. That makes much more sense

Personally I’m watching the view count.

If this is the case... good luck to other ticket holders.. IF your paying all that money to stay On Site then im pretty sure they would guarantee at least 1 park entry somewhere.
And on-property hotel reservations would get first priority. So GL to anyone else

I do agree with you I think they are hoping some people cancel. Hence also the pause of new tickets

Im having flashbacks to the 2013/2014 MyMagic+ roll out.
