Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

AP spots are. AP w/Resort Reservations are not

Ok, how do I access that? Sorry to be a bother.

It also annoys me that those ebay clowns used up a park reservation just to do it.

This bugs me way more than the actual reselling.

This is supposed to be a day where you feel every emotion and soak up every second of being in the MK, not one where you drop hundreds (thousands? How much do we think that is?) of dollars on various Brer friends to sell online.

Yup I’m pretty sure that’s it!

It lead to an awkward phone conversation with my dad about why he thought it was OK to buy this book to read to his kids

This is interesting to me; even in pre-COVID times, I know any QS-type (non-Disney) food place I've worked in has required gloves (in addition to hand-washing!) when handling food... but now I legitimately can't remember ever noticing before if the Disney QS CM's have worn gloves or not!

I think gloves aren't as effective as people think. Caryle is freaked right now, too.

I want to say the Brer Rabbit plush was at least $25 when I bribed my kid with it. So my bet is $30 before AP discount.

And I saw the trio of plushes going for upwards of $500 on ebay

Then there’s us kids from the 80s/90s with old and probably cringeworthy Song of the South merch collecting dust in a basement somewhere. I remember a tar baby book from my childhood that I would assume is still in my parents basement . I think I will let it stay down there lol.

Try being a kid from the 60s/70s.....I'm definitely ready for the Princess and the Frog to take over. Yikes!

Im not gonna lie though, I like that she is making it near impossible for anyone listening to her to forget the real world impacts on a Disney vacation right now.

No pretending its all good and normal with her.

Oh, she definitely is. Her IG stories make me feel so bad for her. It's such a weird situation.

They may not be! I just know I've always had to wear them when handling food (before the COVID-times) and it's something I've never even noticed at Disney before. Like now that she's said something about it, I'm trying to remember if I ever noticed if QS typically wore them before or not, and I legitimately have no idea. I'm pretty sure I've seen custodial CMs wear them, but I just have this blank spot trying to remember QS CM's hands.

 

[Mit88]

People are too impatient to even leave the parks before they put them up for sale. Thats disgusting

Oh I completely agree. She's making a big point to let people know she doesn't think it's necessarily ok to book flights and resorts and just go. I'm looking forward to her article when it's done.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

As long as CMs are washing frequently I’m not bothered by lack of gloves at QS. If anything, I think gloves make the wearer less cautious.

Went to guest relations to ask about gaiters
So Disney did their own study and found the gaiters are only about 20% effective when stretched on face so they literally changed the rule yesterday and are not allowing gaiters, not even looped. Now again I've seen people wearing them but it's like when people sneak in a selfie stick. So do yourself a favor and get regular masks

Did you ever determine if people without Facebook accounts can view your livestreams? I've tried several times and couldn't see a link to view anything and when I click on the videos tab it prompts me to log in or sign up.

I could have sworn I saw one in the past. Is there anyway to view them after they have been recorded?

AGREED. She's gotten a lot of flack online from some people. I really appreciate how she's handling her coverage, though.

They are security theater at best

 

[Mit88]

People shouldn’t be sugarcoating what its like, or what to expect at Disney. Telling people that they SHOULD go pack up your bags and go to the parks right now would be very irresponsible. But they also shouldn’t try to convince people that are ok with the conditions and restrictions that they shouldn’t go.

That being said, Carlye is just reporting what she’s encountering first hand. No one should be criticizing her for how she feels personally.

Highly sought after merch = high crowds = harder to socially distance and control guests/customers

Good call. Makes sense.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Saw on a FB post a picture of two people who had just bought an absolute ridiculous amount of Splash merch.

hope they keep making that stuff to thwart the resellers.

This one?

[TropicalDIS]

They will. When the attraction closes and PatF retheme opens, people will remember the good deed of Disney changing the ride, not that they kept making merchandise until Splash closed.

Think you are bang on about this one.
