Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[TheMaxRebo]

I have friends in entertainment and most of them are against reopening, I understand their point of view, in shows like FotLK and FNtM, they are in close proximity to each other, singing and dancing
I was able to see a technical rehearsal of the new Bourne Stuntacular show at Universal and the actors all had to wear masks and only had them off when they were dubbing the lines, but all the stunt actors and the regular actors when they were speaking they had masks. It would be very strange to see these shows at Disney like that

At least with Bourne it is a new show so you don't have a non-mask version to compare it to / to be thrown off with.

I think some at WDW would be ok - like FotLK they could theme them to the costumes (assuming appropriate way to do that), but others would definitely seem odd - like Belle wearing on in BatB.

But lots of things now are "odd" so what's one more

I'm pretty sure if FOTLK starts again "my favorite".. that they will have some great matching masks..

...and...2000 here we come

my song performs with the Frog Choir at Universal and they have to walk out on stage and perform with masks on, he's a vocal percussionist so there's definitely a lot of spitting, but yeah singing and performing in general generates a lot of mouth fluid

This is a dumb question... But don't 99% the performers just lip sync at Disney? Obvious exclusions, but..

Is this the magical symbol to stay on topic?

I would actually be interested to know this answer, just for general knowledge! I know the leads in the Little Mermaid and the BatB stage show don't lip-sync, as I know people who have been Ariel and Belle, and I don't think the performers at Nemo do. I wasn't able to tell with FotLK, though! I finally landed on they were actually singing, lol.

The necessary voice projection (even with mics) for spoken dialogue and the close proximity of the performers is still a big risk-factor, though, even if the majority are actually lip-syncing.

FOTLK is live, as are most any of the broadway quality shows.

Just to reiterate some others. There is a rapid COVID test. My local hospital offers it. So it is totally plausible to get results quickly.

Well, sorry my posts were deleted. I hope you can leave this for a minute or two because I'm uncomfortable with impression people were painting of me.

I am quite shocked at how some people were taking my posts. I never meant to imply what some of you were thinking. I am very passionate about the topic and work in my hospital and in my neighborhood getting the word out to those who don't hear it. All about this disease, the risks, things you can do to prevent, help getting access to healthcare.

Never meant to say it was someone's own fault. I would never say that. I'm actually sitting here really upset as I would never dream of harming or making painful accusations against others.

I don't know what to even think now. I'm sorry everyone.

Where are our insiders on when ADRs are coming? I’m getting huunnggrryyyy!!

No they are live. I think there are exceptions (I can’t say with 100% certainty but I’d be shocked if all of Disney Jr Dance Party was live)

That’s why I was so disappointed by Disney on Ice.

 

[cakebaker]

Universal has doing performances since they opened. In masks.

I know nothing about the quality of Universal shows. Are these live, broadway quality shows like FOTLK and Finding Nemo? I can’t imagine how those shows can be done wearing masks.

 

[disneyin3]

With the increased availability of testing, has there been any discussion of cast members being tested regularly once parks reopen? How about testing guests on arrival if there is now testing that produces results in 15 minutes?

So do we think they'll theme the GF fencing to the NBA? Like pictures of the team that area staying there? They certainly won't leave the hideous chain link/blue fence alone will they?

My grocery store doesn't have thousands of people from around the country who have traveled through various airports and on planes just to get there. I definitely feel that a theme park is less safe. I think someone posted a chart on here recently showing them ranked as one of the highest risk levels as well. My work place is considered lower risk (public garden) and was allowed by the city and state to reopen (outdoor areas only, not our conservatory, etc), but other institutions in our area are still shut down due to having higher levels of risk associated with them.

Grocery stores in my area enforce masks since they are required in my city. No mask, no entrance.

No but in my urban area, grocery stores often have unsavory characters who aren’t wearing masks & who don’t seem to have the best hygiene either. I don’t see ppl like that in wdw.

Guessing it will stay blue because it’s only temporary and for cost savings.

It was open when we left for dinner at 6pm, BUT I overheard the CMs talking about removing the bar stools. It seems as though they may be modifying the experience.

If you are still there today I would love to know about any modifications to the resort pool bars. Hoping they can figure out how to operate them in a modified way!
