Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I think that’s overkill.

You think checking once at hotel in morning before departing for parks is overkill, but checking at every entry-point throughout the day isn't?

In the end, whatever Disney does I will comply with, because I'm still going even if they do temp checks to infinity and beyond!

Crickets from team Universal is less strict than Disney.

That team is going to be in for a rude awakening next week when their TMs start throwing out disobeying guests left and right.

It'd be nice to check at the resort before you go on the bus all the way to the park and then get denied. Universal is checking temps at check in and then daily. I have no idea where you area supposed to go if the hotel denies you.

As far as resort to park goes I think traveling with your thermometer will become commonplace. Temp check before leaving room so there are no surprises.

I suspect anyone who fails a hotel temp check will just be told too bad, here’s your refund

So you have a resort reservation, come down with a 24 hr bug and you and your entire family get kicked out on the street? Seriously? Ok, you know what, I’m just gonna say it. I don’t believe you. I need proof.

It's in the hotel info they released yesterday. They said if you develop a fever while there they will give your family a separate room to isolate from you. They seemed to imply that if you had a temp upon arrival at the resort you wouldn't be admitted. Sounded like you get 3 chances upon arrival.

Begs the question, is Disney also going to require medical clearance to enter a resort if someone has a fever? Consistency across the big players in Orlando seems like it’s been somewhat important to them.

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

This sounds very close to discriminating against non-union CM's. I don't think they are allowed to do that.

so is everyone not required to be in the union? I've only ever been forced to be in a union so figured that's how it worked (CP's are different of course)

No. Florida is a "right to work" state. Employers cannot require union membership as a condition of employment.

I wasn’t an AP during that time but I remember seeing people talking about getting notified via email about the previews opening on these boards.
How did you get notification to sign up if not through email? Genuinely curious. I’ve never received anything from Disney re: my pass.

Someone on the main SWGE shared a link that I used because I never received the email but was eligible.

Disney is just going to have a cast member follow you around all day and take your party's temp every hour on the hour.

(I'd still go if they did that)

 

[chicagoshannon]

I think that’s overkill.

I think taking temps at all at Disney is overkill and unnecessary but if they're going to do it I'd rather it just happen once a day.

Closest a lot of us will ever get to a VIP tour. I'm into it.

 

[hertamaniac]

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.

From what I thought, Universal gives a guest that is at or exceeds their temperature limit a designated area for them to sit and "cool down". Maybe after walking in the heat/humidity it could give a guest an inflated number at the entrance.

 

[e_yerger]

it takes like 10 seconds for them to take your temp. Same amount of time to go through at magic band turnstile. How’re we really arguing about that.

I was wondering if they were really allowed to do that. I'd be looking into it if I was a non union CM!

Guests will have temperature checks upon arrival and anyone with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher will require medical clearance in order to enter the hotel

At least they’re being open minded to those who have health issues that lead to high temps for non-covid reasons (arthritis).

I don't think it's arguing, rather discussing opposing points of view on the validity of temps checks throughout the day. Nothing we say matters anyways!


The real "fun" will begin when we see whose resorts gets cancelled and whose doesn't...
(hopefully it magically works out for everyone)

(did I use "whose" correctly?)

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

I'm sure once Disney does release the temp check and resort information, our questions will be mostly answered. There will still be weird hypotheticals that we can (and will) come up with to debate, but for the most part, we will have an idea of how this will all go down. When it all comes down to it, it isn't like we have a lot of choice in the matter if we want to go. Accept the restrictions and visit, or don't visit. It becomes a pretty cut and dry choice.

They are referring not to union membership, but to if you are covered by a union bargaining agreement. CP isn’t covered by a bargaining agreement. It is not discrimination.

 

[StevieB81]

Ok. I feel bad for non union people then. I'd be pretty mad if I were them.

That's the risk of a mixed shop. You don't want to pay for the union's protection, you don't get it. They knew this.

Guests will have temperature checks upon arrival and return unless previously checked at the hotel that day prior to boarding our resort transportation system. Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or greater after three checks, including one with a new thermometer, will be asked to seek medical attention and obtain medical clearance prior to being permitted to enter. We understand some guests may feel they have special conditions, which we will consider upon request.

Thanks, I would’ve never believed it.
Just wow...so maybe it is too dangerous to be opening. I don’t mind temperature checks at the parks, but to tell people, especially those with kids, that they can be thrown out of the hotel just because of a low grade FEVER is insanity in my book.
I hope people traveling to Universal and staying at the hotels there dig deeper into it than I did. The notion that your kid could come down with a 24 hr bug and you’re out without the expense of seeking medical treatment and clearance to enter your resort is ridiculous to me. Kids get sick quick, kids get over it quick.

This is more than overkill. It will be interesting to see the reaction of Disney institutes such a policy.

Do you think that's likely what's being announced this coming week for the gut punch.. I mean, update?
