Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Justrose]

It's ADR day for the first half of our Christmas stay is today and pickings are SLIM. If they extend park hours do later ADRs automatically pop up or does it take a day or two?

They still haven't done this for my November trip. I check every day, though!

A Reddit echo-chamber is the same thing though.

Most people I know are ambivalent. They may not choose to go, but they don't care at all that the parks are open.

None of us know what most people think because every poll, every discussion group is skewed. We all know this.

Max shared info from a focus group that said 99% backed Newsom. I am not sure if that relates to Disney closure specifically but I would have to think him keeping things closed is part of the support. My sister isn't on Reddit. Neither are my neighbors and friends I talk to about it, since they know we go. We've gone twice so I am not knocking them being open but I'm also not ignorant to other's opinions.

Eyeroll not needed or helpful.

Not sure how Reddit is an echo chamber as again as it's not really a community. And oddly enough, most people in the DL sub support Disneyland staying closed and that sub is mostly locals. I found that interesting.

It was a wink, meant to be teasing/friendly.

We won't discuss further though!

I know for our last trip (back in February which feels like a lifetime ago) they extended park hours and then it was like a week later that FP_ showed up for that extra hour ... and I think that was pretty typical so I would expect that to be the same for ADRs, etc. that there is a delay

Let's hope the old Touring Plans reservation finder is more on top of it than I am! It's actually encouraging that hours for Christmas and NY week aren't out yet, makes me believe perhaps they're looking at extending them beyond what's been available to this point.

Sorry! On mobile it looked like an eyeroll. Winks are welcomed.

Spice Road & Chefs have yet to extend hours for my Nov trip so guess it’s restaurant dependent.

there's also a latin america only offer for same dates

Wait. All Stars is increasing capacity, and deals are being offered in Latin America? Does Brazil have any US travel restrictions?

Yes it’s still on the list. Apparently Disney thinks it’ll come off or they’re targeting other countries.

I know other South American countries can travel now

Brazil is not the only Latin American country out there, obviously they have always targeted all countries that can travel, right now there are a lot of SA travelers
Only countries on the no fly list are Brazil, China, Iran, UK, Ireland and European area (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City )

yeah, just when I see things like "why does Newsom hate Disney so much? did he fail to get a BG for Rise of the Resistance? Did Roy Disney kick his dog?" - it's not really something personal for him against Disney it's that there are other sides and a lot of people agree with him that things should stay closed and people supported financially another way

I think those type of comments come from the same group of Disney fans whose concern for the CMs began and ended with getting them back to work so they could go to the parks.

Happy not to see it so much here, but unfortunately on some spaces people have reverted back to the “you can’t tell me what to do!!” attitude with no consideration for CMs who are working face to face with the public during a pandemic.

I've been looking for 2 weeks for extended hours for ADRs for our early December vacation & they haven't been extended yet... stuck with a 3 PM Be Our Guest & no restaurants are scheduled open for the last 2 hours of the day...

EDIT: I just checked BOG again for December 8 & they were extended JUST NOW. Moved our reservation to the last possible time and we'll now be in after the park closes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo, thanks for the heads up! Just snagged one for 7:55 on 12/2. I have several alerts running but saw this first

well, he did get elected - maybe the majority doesn't feel as strongly as the vocal minority but I think a majority of people in CA might lean towards his views

I'm trying to not be political and to keep this related to Disney speculation but Disney tends to be rather liberal as is the governor (meaning they hold similar views on things). I'm guessing they weren't disappointed when he was elected but that doesn't mean that they are leaning towards his views on opening the parks. I would think the same thought process could apply to other people in CA.

I don't know if anyone's reported on when the Q2 room discounts are definitely for? It's "Stay most nights January 3 through April 17, 2021." I was able to apply to our March trip. Trying for our Jan, Feb, and April trips, but not finding rooms at our current resorts.

Pop is apparently booked solid the week I already reserved months ago. Which I picked because it was the lowest priced week, which usually means it's not a busy time (first week in Feb).
I'm not sure we still want to go that week, I was just booking trips every couple months in the hopes that one would finally happen. The October one did happen, so not sure I still need February.
