Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[skeeter31]

The Norwegian Joy is currently in Asia according to Google but they are slated to run the Caribbean in Jan 2021... I read they are required to do test sailings by CDC so maybe this is part of that? Guess the cruise lines are real optimistic about CDC letting them sail.

Hasn’t Disney already sent one ship back from Europe to FL? DCL might be ahead of NCL on that front.*

*yep, it was the Dream. DIS says it’s due to arrive 12/9

Another DCL ship is already at Castaway Cay. Can’t remember if it’s the wonder or the fantasy. But one is there.

Disney will be more than happy to sell you a dry one once you exit the ride.

I'm going to take that means yes, you keep on during water rides!

At wdw, yes you have to keep them on. Kali water effects have been turned off and you don't get soaked at all right now, at splash same thing

Ah. Well that's good, thanks!

And I thought Kali sucked before......

I'm just asking because I truly don't know - we have to wear masks on water rides correct? I'm just thinking of Kali, I've been completely destroyed on that ride. I'm assuming people just toss their soaked mask and put on a new one? (if disposable)

Yes you do have wear one. They have turned off some of the extra water features to help. That was not enough to prevent my mask from getting soaked on Splash. Only part of me that got soaked seeing as I wore a poncho and water was less than usual thank goodness I used disposable masks and could just whip out a new one after.

I was SOAKED head to toe in September on Kali, came down the big hill with my back to the water... not good. I prefer the chiffon masks for ease of breathing- but I always carry multiples. @Farro if you go on Kali River Rapids in a mask, def have backups!

Well yeah, that's always been the case whomever goes backward gets soaked but no one else will with the cannons being off

Yes, correct. We skipped Kali for that reason. Splash was fine, but with one party per raft, Kali is one exception I wish they’d make.

Have you seen the RV yet? Do you know what it looks like?

The pontoons are fun. Are they perfect? No. It’s not part of a parade that’s been planned for years. I’m glad they have been able to find a doable way to do distanced appearances at AK, and it seems neat to see them float by.

Also, for years characters rode around World Showcase on a bus.

Disney tested this pre-covid I think actually. I have to dig to find a tweet about it.

Our party of two was sat with a party of one this August.

For my CSR friends!

I know we were wondering if Cafe Rix was only going to be open during the holidays because there were no January hours, but now there are January hours listed. Looks like it's staying open!

There you go! Makes sense but I wasn’t aware they were “pairing” smaller groups.

We noticed you were preoccupied - either having a run, eating lunch or checking out all the recent RunDisney merch. We're very sorry.

Trample Tuesday!

I rarely go on Kali because I got soaked before. So this fall I heard the water features were off and I thought “Great! I’ll get to go on it and stay dry!” Alas I remain the unlucky one. The kid across from me was just laughing hysterically. I spent a good 15 minutes in the bathroom near the exit drying off.

Just came back from a full tour of all the skyliner resorts, not sure about the parks but all the resorts seemed empty. Noticed the pools closed at 6pm, I'm assuming it was because of the weather

Beautiful and enjoyable stream by the way!!!! Got to watch most of it.

Oh thank you!! Visiting 7 resorts in less than 3 hours, can't beat the skyliner system.
