Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Spridell]

Do you think they will wait to open some of these attractions until the rumored paid FP?

That would be good marketing for it.

Dunno if discussed but was looking at Hours, and for the 26th Epcot and AK have been extended one hour (Epcot 11-8) ) (AK 9-6)

Seems like their recognizing busier times on weekends

Black Panther in Animal Kingdom literally makes 0 sense. The only animals used in the movie are engineered rhino’s and panthers in the astral plain. The closest tie to animals begins and ends with the name of the movie and character. It does however make sense for Epcot, but I hope they never do it. They should save the real Marvel stuff (not just guardians) for the 5th gate that will eventually come in 10-75 years

Oriental Land Company, which owns and operates Disney Tokyo Resort. This is the first I had heard of the Splash Mountain renovation in WDW being contingent on Disney Tokyo.

Hahahaha... they’re supposedly retheming this to address the American cultural climate- Princess & Frog would never fly in Japan. If this is contingent on Japanese approval they never should have announced it.

 

[Eeyore daily]

Why wouldn’t Zootopia work in Animal Kingdom? It’s a great movie!

Black Panther in AK sounds like the worst idea ever. I just... omg NO. EP or DHS? Fine.

Do they even have rights to Black Panther on East Coast?

 

[sara_s]

just saw the full video and his comments for why he did it ... apparently it is due to China owning 57% of the Disney corporation and he went there to speak to someone about this and they wouldn't let him speak to anyone even when wearing his mask ... and guess this was the appropriate next step

I think, but I remember being some discussion if they actually did or not

I don't think they can use the character Black Panther as he was officially part of the Avengers at one point in the comics which is part of the restriction of the contract. BUT not clear if they could use Wakanda separate from the actual character

Didn’t they have him meeting at DHS when the movie came out?

 

[cristen72]

I'm pretty sure I read in the Pop Century forum that the microwaves are not available right now.

Well that’s inconvenient for a lot of people. I understand why, but I always see those microwaves in use, between baby bottle warmers, popcorn, leftover pizza...

Wonder how many people bring their own?

No, not here

The animals act as people and it has nothing to do with conservation.

 

[TwoMisfits]

As long as they never put Wakanda in World Showcase. Hope it is indefinitely delayed.

I could see this as a buffer attraction between the future and the world, so not technically in either place - there in EPCOT, it would be brilliant - leaving "tomorrow" for the rest of the world...

Dockside margaritas is back open at Disney Springs

 

[Grumpy by Birth]

My wife and I had to set up a “human fence” to stop another family from encroaching in every other family’s space at one of the family raft rides in Aquatica last month. DW may not have been as “passive” aggressive as you

Oriental Land Company, which owns and operates Disney Tokyo Resort. This is the first I had heard of the Splash Mountain renovation in WDW being contingent on Disney Tokyo.

If WDW ends up scrapping the re-theme, I sure wouldn't want to be these people with a garage full of merch.

What bothered me most was the phrase "infinitely delayed" when I assume he meant indefinitely delayed. Infinitely delayed would be quite the delay.

 

[hertamaniac]

If everyone is wearing masks and they’re outside, then yes the risk is negligible

Sounds like two (2) hypothetical situations. I'll play the odds.

 

[sullivan.kscott]

Lol @ stop thinking Zootopia belongs in AK. AMEN!

The animals act as people and it has nothing to do with conservation.

Fuh real. Anthropomorphic animals as a whole land just because it’s a great movie is a sure fire way to ruin a beautiful park.
Pandora/Avatar at least has a general conservation theme behind it. Even the Indiana Jones talk kinda rubs me the wrong way, as he’s an archeological expert and not geological. But that at least fits the existing the of the area with the dig site, etc

 

[MrsBooch]

Wow - the last bunch of pages have been... a lot of not a lot.

Aside from Dockside Margs being open.

And some decorations being up in MK.

Is that about it?

Well, they were obviously outside in that picture and everyone I could see had a mask on. Not so hypothetical
