Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Spaceguy55]

I can't remember where I saw it, but people were upset that some bloggers weren't expressly telling people to stay away. Those bloggers will be there when WDW opens because it's their job. They said you have to do what is best for you and understand the consequences.

I think people do need to make the decision for themselves and not depend on someone to say go or not go. I have my own opinions about it, but ultimately people do what they want.

That being said I wouldn't go near Florida any time soon.

I'm in Florida and I think it would be safer on WDW property than going places in my town...of course I can drive there..

I've said multiple times in this thread that I would go solo if I lived closer. That was before 2 days of 9000 new cases reported back to back.

We are spiking again here in Louisiana and I won't go to the grocery store.

@yulilin3 is live on Facebook right now from Disney Springs if anyone is interested in watching it. There's a link in her signature.

We were discussing this a little last night - based on @yulilin3's livestream just now, there is no longer a queueing system outside World of Disney or a "Return time" to get into World of Disney. There was a CM posted at the door, but people are able to come and go freely.

Come on now - saying credibility is being stretched and that the source is stretching things is a softened version of saying something is a lie. My source is the father of the family. I know they were going opening day because they were all excited about it. Dad said they started feeling under the weather the day they were leaving (so yeah, probably caught it earlier and brought it with them) and got tested once they were home. Again, here in Michigan you can have results in a half hour.

People seem pretty willing to convince themselves everything will be fine at Disney so they feel safe visiting, but this is a real situation, and I’m sure it’s not the only one like it - so for those who are going, please take precautions even before you get there so you aren‘t the one spreading it.

It was totally irresponsible and completely selfish of them to take a trip when they were feeling under the weather. That kind of stupidity is why we have outbreaks. If you are not feeling well stay home, don’t go to work and don’t take a vacation.

Safer, but not completely safe. Just like in a Hurricane, there’s nowhere safer to be than at WDW during a Hurricane. That doesnt mean you’re completely safe. You cant walk outside during the middle of the storm to take pictures or video and think “I’m at the safest place to be during the storm, nothing can touch me”.
Same with this. If people are taking masks off, getting in strangers’ personal space, going down on vacation while knowing you could be sick. What was a very safe place to be is now not very safe. CMs can enforce the rules all day and night. But when there’s not a CM around, people need to be trusted to be able to abide by the rules

NJ has had the highest death rate in the country so far at 167 per 100,000. Florida is at 15 per 100,000. Florida has, also, tested 30% more people than New Jersey has. You can’t put Florida in the same league as New Jersey.

New Jersey had their spike earlier than Florida.

The highest number of cases New Jersey ever had was around 4,300, back in April.

Florida is having astronomical numbers of cases, months later when we have much more knowledge than when New Jersey was dealing with their cases.

You are ignoring the population when you say Florida has tested more people. Nope. New Jersey is the 4th highest state in the nation for testing per 1 million of population. Florida is about 11th.

I will agree that you can't put Florida in the same league as New Jersey. New Jersey is better.

Florida hit a new high in cases again today, over 9500 this time. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/cor...0200627-wlaxcvv6nvcennambcrod4qule-story.html

It’ll slow down Tomorrow and Monday because the weekend reporting is always lower, but I say again, anyone who thinks Disney can reopen under these conditions is kidding themselves. The hospitals will absolutely get overwhelmed with these numbers.

Already being discussed over the past 2 pages.

All of the people who have decided not to travel to WDW are doing the right thing, because it will make it safer for those of us who definitely are going to have fewer people there. It allows more spacing in the parks and the restaurants.

 

[Mit88]

I’ll believe Disney delays their opening when Funspot shuts down again

The lines seemed to make him nervous. I only saw him waiting to get in, so I am hoping he comes back and says it was better inside. People in the pictures/video did have masks on, though.

At least the bus looked good and everyone is wearing masks. Really weird that people still struggle with 6’, even with markers. I see it everywhere here too.

Some Ariels have made me shudder from some of the attempted notes that came out of them during Part of Your World. It was evident it wasn't a recording.

The good news is that I am always so distracted by Prince Eric’s terrible wig at this show that I often don’t notice the rough notes.

I haven't seen him come back since he posted Krakatau had a 95 minute wait.

It went down .5% and I believe Orange county went from under 5% to 17%. There’s no way to make this good news, I wish there was.

Also seems to be a pretty good correlation between Universal opening and the rise in Orange County cases, so there’s that.

If this continues, no one will be going because they’ll close. There are lots of park days that have hit capacity already. As long as Disney stays open, I expect enough people will go to hit capacity most days. I wouldn’t take a lot of comfort in knowing some people are cancelling, full is full.

Bars opened the same day as Universal. Universal requires masks and social distancing. Bars not so much.

That’s exactly what I thought too. Not just Universal, a lot of area attractions opened around that time as did small businesses and bars that depend on tourist traffic. Florida was beginning to head south before we could look at those openings as the cause, but they are certainly contributing now. Disney has to be seeing that correlation as well.

Interesting. Last night I still saw people queing outside the store. Maybe it just isn't busy enough yet today for the outside que.

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

yeah the actors union is for equity actors.
I forgot to mention the two singers from the MiSiMD

I have 30 trips to WDW under my belt and this one threw me! I looked it up and couldn’t find it. What is MiSiMD?

Yes things opening create more cases. This is not news. Do you have scientific data to support that claim beyond what we already know?

We aren’t Disney execs here. This isn’t our call. You seem to be venting the same things over and over and it’s not really productive.
