Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[xuxa777]

AMC is delaying opening of its theaters again. Now shooting for mid to late August. They had been aiming for opening July 30.

Primarily because of no content to show , with the tentpole movie releases being pushed back it is inevitable. As long as California remains closed the movies are going to be pushed back, too much revenue lost if California theaters are closed.

Also, 4 masks for $20 is no more. It’s $6 per mask with a maximum of 4 masks. No discounts.

I noticed this at Mousegear today!!! I didn't see a sign for a quantity limit though. I bought 2.

I'm in the Epcot Experience waiting it out. I'm surprised how empty it is in here... tables and chairs everywhere! Great AC too! I hope it calms down soon because I want to go eat my way around the world

Was going to post heard the new message at MK this morning

But that wouldn’t help the crew feel safer if the guests didn’t get tested.

If as suggested all crew was required to be vaccinated, how would untested guests make them unsafe? The crew wouldn't catch or spread the virus.

My elderly parents still have a cruise booked for January. I can't think of anything that would make me comfortable with them going while the pandemic is underway.

Last I heard that walkway was closed, they've opened it now? We are going end of August and staying at CR so hoping we can just walk over

It was only closed during CM previews. Was open the 10th for AP previews, the 11th on Opening Day, and the 13th.

It doesn’t help that you have to rip those contracts from the members cold dead hands. Because there’s so few, it’s never going to be “cheap”. $214 isn’t bad considering the property, I’m just waiting, and hoping that it gets a little lower before I make the investment

So true we bought 80pts direct from Disney for GCV in 2013 and were on a waiting list to purchase so I’m sure someone was sad that their resale purchase was gobbled up with ROFR by Disney. I think we paid $120 at that time. I’d never sell mine we go there every 2-3 years.

This is a question for the folks at epcot. Are you guys having any issues finding a place to eat that’s not a garbage can table while you eat around the world? Have they added more high top tables?

Random question: which parks are using the new security system where you just walk through?

I've seen multiple reports of it being used at AK and the International Gateway entrance to Epcot.

It wasn’t at Epcot main entrance when I was there a week ago. Only AK from my experience, but we didn’t go to the international gateway.

So what are they doing in the places they're not using the new system? Are they still going through your bag?

You take out certain things and place in a bin and then you and your bag go through a metal detector. I always had to remove my umbrella, metal water bottle, external battery charger, and sunscreen aerosol can.
