Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Farro]

I'd like to know who all these people are that develop a fever over 100.3 throughout the day and still feel good enough to leave one park and go to another or Disney Springs or whatever!

I'm knocked on my butt with chills and aches when I have fever (due to illness) over 100. You couldn't drag me off of the bed...

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

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)

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.

I agree to a point but I don’t mind. People absolutely go to the parks sick and even feverish (maybe not too many would with COVID as that hits HARD for a lot of people who are actually symptomatic), because they paid a lot of money for this vacation!! If this deters people with other contagious illnesses from entering the parks I call it a win.

Also I think it’s so non-invasive there’s not too many strong reasons to not have it just in case.

Also FT will start getting calls as soon as tomorrow. Union FT/PT CM can be recalled as late as 5 days before scheduled

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

That’s fine, as long as we don’t start branding people with the results, I’m good. The idea of advertising to the world who has and hasn’t passed a temp check, which is what that would do, is just wrong.

.....also did we just agree?

Tension is much lower (on my end) now that we have a date lol. Thats all I really cared for. I’m still upset for the people on here that are losing out, and not just from one cancellation, but some people had up to 4 reservations cancelled. My June trip was scheduled last August, being cancelled on once, it sucked for about 15 seconds and then I rescheduled. Its not that easy for a lot of people, especially ones that continued trying and getting cancelled on, and thats gotta be disheartening.

ADRs and FP doesnt really impact me. Ive never made a dining reservation just because I never really plan out trips. This trip I got cancelled on was the 1st time ive ever done FP reservations 60 days out, and I still did it wrong. I didnt even know you could book through the entire trip, I thought you had to do it day by day.

Outside of booking the room, I’m just not a planner. So pretty much anything they announce from here on out, theres a 99% chance I’m not going to be upset about it because most of it will be expected as opposed to rumored opening dates

Disney does not make people join a Union, in fact I believe they prefer for people not to

You're going to know who passed the temp check by just seeing that the person was allowed into the park...

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

If they check at the parks and DS, what’s the point in checking at the resort? Where are you supposed to go if you have a high temp?

I'd like to know who all these people are that develop a fever over 100.3 throughout the day and still feel good enough to leave one park and go to another or Disney Springs or whatever!

Well 100.4 is considered a low grade temp and a lot of people can function ok at that temp. I mean if you truely had a temp of 100 you wouldn't feel the best for sure but you could function. I'm more concered with getting overheated/sunburnt and registering over that temp without really having a fever. KWIM?

Lots of people will take a fever reduced and “tough it out” because it’s a vacation.

I have seen it quite a bit even on here (pre-COVID of course, I assume most will keep quiet now lol) where people wore it almost like a badge of honour. Can’t keep me from Disney!

 

[cakebaker]

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.

Scientifically, it makes little difference regardless of what they are doing. If you’ve gotten so hot you’ve raised your temp to 100.4, you probably need to sit in a cool down tent.

Well people will know when you haven’t passed a temperature check when you are stopped from entering a park or hotel.

 

[chicagoshannon]

If they check at the parks and DS, what’s the point in checking at the resort? Where are you supposed to go if you have a high temp?

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.

 

[cakebaker]

We were talking resorts on a daily basis, not the parks. Are they going to evict guests who run a temp on any given day? No matter, I’ll let you guys continue this discussion without my input. It’s a ridiculous idea to slap bands on people after a temp check and since they’ll never do it, it’s nothing I need to spend a lot of time on.

It has made a difference at Disney Springs. As of Thursday several people had failed the original temperature check. After time in the cool down tent only one person failed their second temperature check.

Yeah, I guess I'm a baby!

I am MISERABLE when I have a fever.

I am, too. Can’t move.

Yeah, what? Is it just so people know they have a fever and don’t try to enter a park? Are they planning on kicking them out of the hotel or confining them to their room?

Admittedly I have no idea what Uni has said I’m just going off what you guys are saying here.

Not everyone has to be a union member. It is rather strongly encouraged. However, when a situation arises a cast member can request request union representation on any number of issues without actually belonging. (Usually discipline). Sounds like they were addressing the college program mainly as being non union
