Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Anthony Vito]

Not complaining about the policy (and certainly not if it's due to health and safety data), but I've definitely been a bit bummed about the no gaiters. I've got a couple of Mission ones that are the cooling towel type. Even in past years I used cooling towels (and even a cooling towel neck gaiter one trip) for our summer trips. I actually find them somewhat less breathable than some of the other masks, but I like them because they make it so much easier to wipe sweat, both under the "mask" and the rest of my face. I can just pat and rub around the "mask" area of my face that it's covering up, plus I can pull it up over the rest of my face for a quick wipe. I realize I could try to add loops to them, but I could see that not working out as well (just not getting them attached in the just right position and making it uncomfortable), and part of the benefit of the cooling gaiter is being able to twist and move it so there's a cooler part to put on your face.

Oh well. I may still wear them some around my neck for the cooling purposes. Now I'm just anxious to eventually get the UnderArmour mask I ordered to see how that is (they released an "exercise" mask that's supposed to good for exercising with, so in theory that should make it better for the heat - even supposed to feel cooler to the touch on the inside). Of course, it ships "on or before August 17" with 2-day shipping. We leave on August 21st (theoretically, of course, assuming we still even go at all).

We opted for the cancel AP option via 2 separate e-mails yesterday and today to guest services (with screenshots). Now I am really confused about this partial amount/calculation.

This is why so many of us are gun shy with this. All we know about the refunds are that they’re not reversible, but we don’t have much info to make decisions on. I feel the calendar closing in though and am getting kind of panicky here lol.

FoP has a higher capacity, also a storm just rolled through so people might be lining up for the carpets now

I lost it at the group of cast members waving and again at the tiki birds. I miss this place so much.

Disney is my coping mechanism for stress -- not having it these past few, incredibly stressful, months has been difficult, that's for sure.

The gates to the beasts castle did it for me. Why are we like this , I’m embarrassed of myself.

We don’t go as often as most in here, but losing a highly anticipated “perfect” trip where everything fell into place and knowing it may be years until we can return has been rough.

The optimist in me (she’s in there somewhere, guys) keeps waiting on a miracle of sorts that makes this all end.

Was just coming to post the Disney Parks video.. lol. I see it’s already here!

It was “disney tears” from beginning to end..

Same here. I think a lot of us are in the same boat.

No need to be embarrassed. Disney is very, very good at what they do, is why.
