Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[anthony2k7]

Still waiting for him to show an example where I have been woefully wrong

Well.... this was your response to limited capacities and other new measures...

They will not do all that no need , also can you imagine how a half full park will feel, it will be dead, no energy not a great experience at all. Yes lines will be shorter but the Disney excitement comes form the crowds to large degree.

Sooner than later we will realize the virus isn’t as contagious or as bad as was originally thought. Don’t get me wrong it is horrible and super deadly to people with high risk factors etc. however it does not warrant all of these changes to the park experience. There will be a few, more hand cleaning stations and maybe masks inthe queues , buses for a while but nothing much more

You also claimed all of DS would open in may. Also that all parks would open at once, all resorts would open at once, definitely would not be any resorts remaining closed "no need".

But if you already had a wristband that showed you didn’t have a fever at your resort in the morning, it wouldn’t be checked again at Disney Springs.

I agree, you can have Covid19 without a fever, asymptomatic spread is very real, but Disney is requiring temperature checks anyways. They’re not going to just check it once a day at the resort and let people go around the property in multiple locations without checking it again.

You're right. Disney probably won't do it. It's too effecient. Universal IS doing it though so it's not out of left field.

I guess people aren't understanding what I"m saying. Disney IS going to take your temp before going into the park and to Springs, and maybe hotels. So in order to avoid people having to take their temps multiple times throughout the day and being fine in the morning but running hot in the afternoon because you know, Florida, you get a wrist band that says you were fine.

Again temp screens are all theater but they will be doing them so why not do them efficiently.

Seems safer to me to be checked any time you enter either place. Besides, outdoor temps will not significantly change your internal body temperature. If at any time you’re over 100.4, you shouldn’t be in the parks.

Just wanted to add my data points. DVC points (3 back-to-back reservations) checking in 7/31, I have an AP Platinum Plus voucher (so, a not-yet-activated AP), my three kids and DH have 10 day PH+.

I received this version in my email aka the AP voucher holder:

Unfortunately, these new measures have required us to cancel any dining reservations, experience reservations and FastPass+ selections you may have made. We recognize the inconvenience this poses and we’re deeply sorry.

However, because you have valid Theme Park admission, you will have access to the Theme Park reservation system before new tickets are sold to other Guests. There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We’ll be contacting you soon with details on this new system as well as the process of making new dining and experience reservations. If you have previously booked experiences, you’ll also be provided with first access to make new reservations.

I find it odd that our resort reservations aren’t mentioned? Aren’t they mentioned in some instances when there isn’t a package or is my brain muddled? Haven’t received any AP communication, including the current round, since I paid for the AP a year and a half ago so that doesn’t necessarily mean anything important to me. Also, my DH who isn’t the lead on the resort reservation but does have his ticket in his own account has received no email.

My main concerns right now are, like others, are whether onsite AP voucher holders will be included with other existing ticket media (there seems to be CM phone confirmation that they will be but I’ve been burned before so I don’t trust it) and whether I should even activate this voucher since so many benefits will be wasted. Considering linking a UT base ticket and, if that works, great, but if forced to activate AP, I will. Decisions, decisions.

I

The only ADRs I have left are the ones IN A PARK. And all the ones I had in a park are still there. That seems completely backward to me. Raglan Road and Homecomin' are gone. I was hoping they'd be third party that might not get cancelled. Oh, well. Waiting for the rest. My 60 day mark is Wednesday. Doubtful the new system will be ready

I didn’t expect Boathouse, Jaleo, Homecomin’, Frontera Cocina, and Raglan Road to all be gone. All third party. Most before the parks even open on July 11th.
I’ve reserved what I can on OpenTable but geez. All that work down the drain.

Taking a temp once a day and then wristbanding and not having to get tested again that day seems like it would end up with too high of a chance of people falling through the cracks, to the point where I’d ask why they’re even doing it at all. It’s not a huge hardship to get scanned. I think they scan everyone at entry points to parks/DS and call it a day, and don’t complicated the process too much.

Takes less time than walking through a metal detector. It’s not a doctors appointment where you have to sit in a waiting room, get called, then they shove a thermometer down your throat. They point a digital thermometer gun at your forehead and you go (if you pass)

Exactly.

Much quicker than security, probably quite similar in time to actually scanning into the park, especially when finger scans are in use.

Shanghai hasnt had a reported new case since March 8th.

I was just addressing that social distancing during parades wasn't feasible.

Speaking of which, there's no way that finger scans would be practical right now.

What you think someone should do is irrelevant. Disney has not required you to be fever free anywhere but upon entering the parks. If they want that, they’ll need to check temps before you enter property and that’s not going to happen.
This is the risk you accept when you go. Sick people may be out and about.

Irrelevant? I was answering a scenario posed as a question to me. Don't be rude.

I'm not worried about risks at all, which is why myself would be fine with temp checks in the morning. Others aren't fine with it, and that's okay too.

But if you already had a wristband that showed you didn’t have a fever at your resort in the morning, it wouldn’t be checked again at Disney Springs.

Yes, they will do what the they think the people want. The people want temp checks at every entrance, so there you go.

Pretty sure I’ve woken up without a fever but went home from work after lunch with a fever..

The more the better in my opinion.

.....also did we just agree?

Yeah, I’m curious what they end up doing with those. Here at the DISboards we’ve come up with all their options in past conversations so now they just have to choose one of our ideas

They will be checking your temperature at the resorts just like the Universal’s hotels and just like Disney Springs.

 

[SleeplessInTO]

When It comes to something like this it will be all over these boards and someone will post the link. I didn’t get an email for SWGE but was able to register from the link that was posted here

That’s my current Plan B / hope since I don’t get any emails. But that also worries me because I can’t check these boards as frequently as I’d like to during work hours. I need to find a boss that loves Disney too.

 

[princesscinderella]

So we have moved on from masks to temperature checks

Temperature checks are totally health theater. It’s the asymptomatic Covid infections that are spreading this disease. By the time you have a fever you are definitely not going to be feeling like going out let alone to a theme park.

Where is this stated?

 

[yulilin3]

Listening on the Union meeting right now, along with what has already been discussed and released,they will recall by seniority FT then PT from Union, if you are non union you will not have any priorities.
If a person is afraid of going back to work for medical reasons for themselves, spouse or children they can state that, they will not need to present documentation and they can stay on furloghed
BUT
they just mentioned that because CP are not union they will not be called back until everyone that is FT and PT are working filing whatever position CP and seasonal, one of the Union members mentioned about 10 months without CP , I think he's just guessing on the 10 months but it's good news for FT and PT,
CP take a lot of positions and are worked FT so that will open a lot of slots for union workers

Seems safer to me to be checked any time you enter either place. Besides, outdoor temps will not significantly change your internal body temperature. If at any time you’re over 100.4, you shouldn’t be in the parks.

but a temp gun aimed at your forehead isn't taking your internal temp. I know when I get a sunburn for example my forehead gets really hot. It's like if you're taking your temp in your mouth and you've just had coffee or a cold drink. It's not going to be accurate.

The other day I went to the doc and they were using the same type of thermometer. I read 97.0. I never have that low of a temperature.

I don't know it's all sort of pointless anyway. Just throwing out a suggestion. I read what the Universal hotels were going to do so thought I'd throw that idea out here.

Actually the outside temperature can impact the way Disney will take your temperature. That is why they have cool down tents at Disney Springs if you fail your first temperature check.
