Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Mit88]

I don't see how you can do a house and maintain anything close to 6 feet separation. Maybe just a house you walk through with creepy stuff but no actors? I'm having a hard time seeing logistically how you can do that.

Scareactors will be wearing masks and be behind plexiglass

Hmm.. on the Cadaver Dans news I was unaware that the Dapper Dans were even in the park now - in fact I don't think they are. What union are they a part of?

And as for the "select villain days" - I foresee a lot of complaints about the lack of hopping. I'm sure someone will be keeping track of the "select days" in case a pattern develops - but I'll bet it will be random. Here's hoping I'll hit it on one of my 2 MK days in Oct.

I'm finding one of the hardest things about the new rules is not eating and walking. Do you know how long it takes a kid to eat one of those frozen minute maid cups?

I have a 9 year old granddaughter that can stretch a Happy Meal into a Victoria & Albert's length dining experience.

Thank you, @MrsBooch and @rteetz.

AKA they just increased capacity, yes?

Not necessarily. They move availability between the 3 buckets all the time. Almost once a week they add availability to the AP bucket from the other 2 buckets.

1) are they selling park hoppers starting 1/1/21 as far as we know?

2) is the CRT menu accurate for their reopen in two weeks or is that TBD? No interest in princesses so it's our chance to check out the castle with creeping it up.

1. Yes
2. I believe so but it’s always subject to change.

1) yes
2) I'd check back tomorrow, when ADRs open. It has been modified somewhat, since it used to still have the pre-shutdown price on the menu, but I have no idea if that's final.

Thank you. Man if they keep the holiday crowd mostly out blocked out of hopping only to enact it a week later that could be dicey. I'll keep an eye on the menu when it actually opens.

 

[Eldritch]

Wait, park hopping will be available starting next year??

Thanks! Not many options which aligns with most menus these days.

Thats the plan. Disney said as much from the get go of the reservation system being announced.But they haven’t said it will definitely be back, or when next year, just that they’re selling park hoppers with the anticipation for it to come back

Ah, so selling but actually doing them are two very different things. Understood. Thanks.

They will bring it back the moment they can. Still a lot needs to happen before they bring it back, namely reliable transportation from park to park. You can’t offer park hopping if guests are waiting 2 hours outside of one park for a bus to get to another park. Park hours would likely need to be increased full time.

pure guess, no substance. We see Disney Genie, Fireworks, and Park Hopping all rolled out, or brought back in March 2021. I have literally nothing to base that on, just a timeframe that I have in my mind

Agree, but I think it won't be until October 2021

But they also said that the Park Reservations system is permanent. It makes my head hurt trying to understand how you do Park Hopping and Park Reservations at the same time.

An important update
Do not get the pumpkin cannoli from pizzerizzo
Get the pumpkin tiramisu at Rosie's
Lol
DHS feels crowded but it isn't really, just remember to eat at off times, the amount of people gathered around the QS for mobile order is crazy

You make a park reservation for one park, and you cant make a PH reservation until you’re scanned in the first park. Same for the additional hopping if you decide to do more than 2 parks.

Basically the same way FP+ was utilized. You couldn’t make a FP+ for another park until you used the ones that you had in the current park that you had.

I doubt that when park hopping is back that DHS is filled every day due to the capacity being increased.

This would of course be much easier if they allowed you to make reservations on MDE
