Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[jesskeys91]

So sorry to take time out of your obviously busy schedule. Not all of us spend time on here daily, nor have time to go back and read every post amongst the hundreds of thousands. So, things get missed.

If only there was a fast pass for this board, right?

Let's get back to focusing on the more important things...

Like how the Ahsoka pins that were released less than 2 weeks ago are sold out everywhere and I csnt find any

Would that mean I’m like club 33 or something?

I can no longer afford to read your posts.

Now that would be sweet lol. In all seriousness, it is easy to fall behind on the chatter when you only check in once in awhile. I'd say news, but from some comments I have seen, it doesn't appear there's been a whole lot of that lol.

More like a CM - underpaid for having to put up with all the obnoxious guests

Wouldn’t it be great? Like a “skip from here to page 3236 to bypass the debate queue to your next bit of news” button or something.

To keep the theming I view the "ignore" button as creating my own Club 33

Whats the opposite of Club 33?

I'm the YMCA.

This was our day I most feared. MK on a weekend. But, it was actually great if you toured it like us. At the bus stop at 6:40, on bus @ 6:50. Temp check by 7:05. In gates by 7:20. Rode 7 dwarfs, Dumbo and Barnstormer by 8. Hit Pooh @ Peter Pan by 8:30 then headed over to splash. Was a bit chilly but we are used to it. Rode it then country bears and COL. Then headed to let grandtinker drive at speedway, Teacups and finally Buzz before our 12:15 Plaza Ate a d headed back to Riv for nap and swim before Toppolinos tonight. Good day.
ALSO- Saw 3 short parade like things. One with toy soldiers and band. One witb princess float and one with Santa and reigndeer. Grandtink loved them. Got back to our hotel and saw charachter bus parked. Pluto and Goofy were on 2nd floor lobby balconys waving down to kids below.

Oh my..

World of Disney in DS has a 50 minute wait.

Their virtual queue had errors as well... We decided to head to the airport early this afternoon. We know the risks when we come, but this was a less enjoyable experience than in July.

 

[osufeth24]

I was HS most of the day before heading over to DS. HS was actually pretty nice. The lines were no different than what it's been over the last few months. Walkways were open, etc.

 

[yulilin3]

But wouldn’t it take a good amount of people out of the current standby lines that are snaking into the walkways and put them elsewhere?

Not pretending I know better just trying to understand!

Sorry if someone already explained, I'm on break at work and just scanning the boards
Let's say 50 people have fp and 50 are on standby. When they reach the attraction almost all 50 fp people will be let through while the standby continues to grow. There's stopping to ask how many, to tell people where to go and although this process seems like it takes seconds the constant doing of it builds time
Compound that with thr fact that the ride is operating at less capacity it means either they cut gp allowance significantly, meaning that they will be harder to get, or, they keep current numbers and thr standby will just balloon
With just standby operating now the process to load attractions goes much quicker and smoother and makes for a standby line that looks long but it's constantly moving.
This is even without counting the stoppage time due to cleaning

Let's get back to focusing on the more important things...

The pin was sold out 3 hours after the release that day

You don’t think people like that are a dime a dozen right now? Goes somewhere symptomatic then dies? It was still a big deal and shocking in March. I have no doubt people have been at Disney symptomatic, maybe some dying eventually, at some point since July.

Speaking from the perspective of news making headlines only (and not what I think about it), deaths and potential exposures are not a big deal anymore. It’s just reality. I think back in July if there had been a major spike that could be reasonably tied to parks opening timing there would have been PR problems, but as it stands save for a CM outbreak it would be hard to tie much back to them now. I think they’re at bigger risk of bad press from perceived or real crowding related safety issues, TBH.

Nope I do not think so at this point.

With a brief recap of what you missed lol

Good explanation, thanks! I honestly didn't understand it either when I asked a few pages ago. So... just out of curiosity then (knowing this could open a whole other discussion, lol)... if FP+ slows down the standby lane that badly, why even offer it at all? Would it not be better to just keep it all at standby?

Oh what the heck. Should of figured.

I think Horizons being replaced was the right choice
