Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[SaintsManiac]

I’m going to stop being irritated and start being hopeful that this means hopping returns sooner than later. See how quickly we can turn on a dime?? Lol

Via Napoli pizza window open again at Epcot! Lots of QS popping up. Hope this means more CMs getting called back as well.

I probably doxxed myself by leaving the only not-so-nice comment. Whoops.

I like the guy but don’t toy with my AP perk availability

thing is, you’re not wrong lol. I think most of us are mature enough to realize it wouldn’t have been the smartest decision to allow PH, especially from the get-go. Its not nearly as easy logistically as the Universal parks or DLR parks where you’re walking no more than 200 yards to the other park (more for VB).

But if you’re showcasing influencers being able to do it, while still charging APs the same price they were pre-pandemic sans this perk you’re having these people flaunt, that’s where I roll my eyes.

I honestly don't get the whole "influencer" thing so I don't think I get what to be annoyed about so will just move on

Now excuse me as I see some kids I need to yell at to get off my lawn

I just saw on Facebook that guests were escorted out of BOG and then escorted out of the park because of weather?!?! Anyone know anything that can clarify this?

Anyone know if I I activate an AP voucher at an Epcot ticket window?

Yes we did it Toda.

Is this real or a joke? I’m just catching up today.

I bought 8 day Park hopper tickets only to be given a choice of 1 park per day without getting a refund of the difference. I better get my ability to park hop back. If they charge extra thats going to tick a lot of people off.

Yes! They are no longer to be referred to as "influencers." Nay, they are "beta testers!" I kid, of course.

Well the FP thing could easily just be a recovery FP which has been given out when the ride breaks down.

As for the park hopping, maybe he had a reservation at 1 park and then bought another ticket for another park and didn’t pair it with his MDE for them to recognize that he was already in another park?

I'm several pages behind so this might have been answered but was it also possibly ResortTV1? They are a brother and sister team and I've already seen them a few times post covid, one will be in one park and the other in another and they switch their live stream back and forth, thus "park hopping"

Prince Charming Dev, and a few other influencers were park hopping, and using FP today, and mentioned doing so on their IGs. We’re just not sure what it was for exactly yet.

Is there a chance disney is offering park hopping or fast passes for well known vloggers? I've seen 3 of the more popular vloggers today posting that they've park hopped today and/or "missed using fast past+". Could they use them to test out or tease the return of these things or are they lying or am I mistaken and misreading? I can't stop thinking about it!!

Resort TV1 did a “park hopping” stream today. Josh went to Epcot and Jenna went to MK - they bounced the stream back and forth between them. They weren’t really hopping. I seriously doubt that Disney would give a hopping pass to streamers. We were within about 20 feet of Josh today at Epcot but missed him.

Today I learned they are brother and sister not a couple . Oops.

MK this morning, DHS this afternoon, and AK tonight. This is PCD, not ResortTv

The marketing genius of influencers. Now a ton of people are going to watch and subscribe to his channel to watch the video explaining the very boring reason that has no barring on something that’s going to be available to us peasants

You guys are starting to get me laughing with the little people and peasant references! One time we were staying at Yacht Club, (a commoners hangout, I know) and I think we were 1 floor below club level and our room must have been right under the dinning area or lounge or whatever they call it. We heard lots of foot stomping the whole time and made such a joke of the high falutin folk stompin on the roofs of us commoners, guess you had to be there Fun memory though.
And, I do remember seeing and ResortTV1 advertising Park Hopping today, but it is just switching back and forth between two parks, well here, see for yourself. Not sure if the other bloggers were doing something separately though...

 

[Vern60]

Oops, sorry, I told ya I am still several pages behind!!!! I'll catch up by next week I think

 

[Mit88]

this is what I meant earlier by it setting bad optics to allow influencers these perks and leaving it as a tease. Now people are under the impression these perks are coming back. Doesn’t seem like the smartest decision from Disney if this is a whole lot of nothing

Yeah, I was thinking the same, I don't see how it could not, I mean lead to more CM being called back, all good news I would think and hope.

PCD and maybe others (not sure which) posted vague FP line usage and hopping. Assumptions were made. Conclusions were jumped to. Probably the run of the mill hyping up of something relatively mundane.

Possibly unrelated, a lot of smaller not Disney focused creators appear to be there to promote Disney and how safe it feels this weekend.

Disney definitely seems to be expanding their ad footprint. I'm in CT (FL is still on our quarantine list) and I saw a WDW ad while watching football earlier this afternoon. I can't even remember the last time I saw a WDW ad in our area, maybe the holidays last year?
