Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[OnceUponATime15]

He did say those were "worst case scenario" numbers

He did.. that’s why I added the even by half, which if we have to have a worst case..
I’m hoping for once he might justbe wrong, or at least way off.

Of course Disney is going to market June dates, why not, it is only thing they can do right now, it is easy to cancel the trips once the rolling 7-day cancellations get close to that time. The marketing is not a indicator of when they think they will be open.

Kirk Herbstreit top ESPN football announcer/Disney employee and is on the board of a major hospital, said just yesterday, he doesn't think there will be football in the fall, both NFL and NCAA without a vaccine. If that holds true no way the parks will be open in June

And really, their marketing has involved a few ads and emails...that's about the cheapest marketing campaign ever. And it gets deposits back in their hands for a few months of cash flow while they keep seeing where the world goes...

I would bet they might be doing temperature checks. I can see that happening.

I want to agree, but don't know if a private company like Disney has the right to take your temperature as a condition for entry?

If they did it before entering the cruise ships I would think Disney could.

I don’t see how Disney can cost effectively do a limited park opening. They have already sold tickets to these days. They can’t just go and get more revenue from tickets they already sold. Plus the kind of experience people are talking about would require more cast members than they have ever employed to disinfect constantly and to make sure guest practice proper social distancing.

My guess is when WDW does finally reopen it won’t be that much different than it was before. They might limit capacity some at first to limit problems with restarting, but it won’t be limited to the degree people are suggesting.

It's private property. They can set rules, for the most part, for entry. It's like they can require you to allow them to search your bags. Concerts, arenas, and airports to pat downs. Many businesses have rules about carrying hand guns. Taking your temp doesn't really violate your rights as you can choose to not enter their property.

But I don't think they ever take a customer's temperature unless its a "probably cause" scenario. Employees would be more likely to undergo temp checks.

Yeah taking your temperature is pretty much worthless with all of the asymptomatic carrier. Without having a vaccine or a way to see if you are immune, Disney will be hit with lawsuits or mandatory closure by the CDC when people get sick there, and they will!! If we have a vaccine or a way to tell you are immune, then it is buyer beware. You know the risks and you are choosing to take them. The CDC still might close them down if there is a spike, but they would have some protection from lawsuit.

I want to see the lawyer who tries tp prove you got sick at Disney with the incubation period that this thing has. Unless an employee coughs directly on you with witnesses, theres no way you have a case.

Possibly. But the PR will be atrocious. Regardless, you guys are nuts that are planning trips.

Yep, taking a temperature is meaningless. They only test that could protect guests and cast members will likely never exist (100% immunity) for a quick turnaround at park's entrance.

If they do a temp check or anything like that it will be for show so people think they are safe. This is not a slam on Disney, but businesses in general. Perception that they are doing something

Coincidence that the government just said June 1st also just now?

Anyone think the Disney exec's got a little inside information yesterday? Hmmmm

It looks like the national (US) guidelines changed today to 4/30. Has someone else come out with June 1st?

In the President's remarks he said "everything up and running by June 1"

Thats what I meant

 

[Joe in VA]

No doubt Disney execs had wind of this prior to today’s presser. I wasn’t planning a trip this summer but I’m pent up with frustration so I think I want to be there 6/1.

 

[Sunelis]

Prior to this whole crisis I had June 7th to June 19th planned... IF they open on June 1st, I don't even know if the borders will be reopened and if it will be safe to drive down. I'm sure ain't flying this time around.

 

[Thecouch]

I think when disney world opens this year it will almost only be people from USA. I get the feeling here in Australia even when they start lifting restrictions locally overseas travel won't be one of them. Until the virus has gone through all countries overseas travel restrictions will remain

And last week, he said Easter. He has no clue, just like everyone else. All we can do is wait and see what happens. There is literally, literally literally literally no way to predict what’s going to happen.

most models having us peak by mid April.Start resuming through May has really always been probable.
