Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

On the weekends, but how many will be closed on weekdays? F&W has like 4 or 5 closed on weekdays.

It's such a short festival, and most people coming for Christmas time come for a bit longer (at least that I've noticed) so I'm sure most will be open. It's not an insane amount either, I was reviewing the list and a good chunck are in the festival center which always has all of them open. Most that I saw are in locations that are currently open every day.

Good point. Our EPCOT day is a Thursday. That’s disappointing If they have to go that route again, though I understand why they’re doing it.

I'm just not so patiently waiting on those holiday kitchen menus. I need to start planning my eats.

I am also drumming my fingers waiting to see what fun snacks and drinks await at MK, HS and AK.

Looks like Fl numbers are heading back up.

RIGHT???? I need to know what limited gluten-free items they'll have.

oh goodness that would be hard to do! I feel for you! I'm not supposed to eat dairy but I will anyway, risk vs reward for me I suppose, but I know gluten issues are their own beast.

I’m already dreaming about that warm brown sugar filled pretzel they mentioned. I hope the menus come out soon!

Seriously!! I am just glad that even though I only have one day to enjoy it all on my Thanksgiving week I'll be back 3 weeks later with 2 more days to stuff myself. Need to pack some elastic waist shorts/pants.

I'm a big American flyer (have 150,000+ miles with them, credit card holder, etc...), and I've been wholeheartedly disappointed with how they've handled the pandemic. While I've been on almost empty American flights over the past several months, most have been packed by even pre-COVID standards. A total free-for-all when disembarking. Not a lot of mask enforcement either. I really don't care what they say about the air circulation, air particles, etc..., you're not going to convince me that that is totally safe.

And yes, I'd prefer the middle seat open. Will it keep me from flying? No; I really don't have much of a choice these days with work, family needs, etc... and I accept the risks. Anyone flying should go in expecting the risk these days.

We few American from MLU to MCO (layover DFW). They oversold the flight and were asking for volunteers to take vouchers. Our Flight was jam packed and not a vacant seat. When we booked our flights, they said they were NOT selling the middle seats for our flights. Things changed obviously. On our return flight, even though we could not sit together, we upgraded to FC.

Side note, SW canceled our daughters' flight 3 hours before flight time. They were on the way to MSY and they got the text. They drove and arrived at CCV 45 minutes after we did. They made great time.

not really. The % positive was lower today but there were 15,000 more tests reported. It’s always nice to see you bring your gloom and doom to this thread.

I doubt it will be as easy as a "pin" because that is easily sold/duplicated. But, I guess they could implant a microchip that shows your vaccinations-lol just kidding. Seriously though, they could have it connected with DMV and you could have it on your license. Like the "donor" heart.

Yeah, that would work.

Or, in the case of Disney, some kind of pre-arranged letter from your doctor to Disney linked to your MDE that gets you out of mask-wearing. The only problem is that probably wouldn't work anyway, since the CM's wouldn't know who to police - so then we're back to the vaccine being pointless if it doesn't get me out of any restrictions...

Well no because if vaccine works and people actually get it, cases and positivity rates will drop to the point of being able to reopen.

OK.... well 3 consecutive days above 5% for the first time in a month then. Still looks like numbers are heading upwards.

Not surprising in the slightest. (That's why I laughed I wasn't trying to come off as rude)

Yes, the ~1 month trend is going upwards.

Yes, I agree, except for the fact that many people are short-sighted and selfish (maybe that includes me?), and that lack of immediate gratification is a big factor in the current anti-Covid-vaccine sentiment in the general population.

But can they give it to enough people quick enough before the immunity wears off?

Well then let's not try!

Masks and social distancing forever everyone!

Of course we've got to try. Just dont expect it to be a guaranteed fix.

Sorry!
