[...]when the pandemic started i kept thinking to myself 'what person that is very ill, and feeling so sick, is going to go to an amusement park?' [...]
We are of the same mind - I love to head over to Epcot for F&W for a couple of hours and then back to what every park I was in. Even with Galaxy's Edge, DHS is a half day for me. I guess with shorter operating hours and no FP's I'll get a "full" day out of it this Sept.Totally agree with the park hopping!! We have ALWAYS hopped. It's how we do Disney!
It would kill us to have to decide ahead of time what park and then have to stay with it!
Same! No parades, spectaculars, character meet& greets.... No big deal for us. No pool would be a killer. Also, as you said, I am really concerned about hoping. We are at BWV and hoping was a big part of our plan. I will be bummed but will understand if it's just not possible BUT>>>> I sure WILL be looking into a refund of some form for the cost of adding park hopper to my Tix (x4, adult 8 day Tix).Mostly I'm wondering about park hopping. Will that be a thing? If not, I'll be put out. Since we were staying at Yacht Club, we were planning to hop into Epcot most nights for ADRs.
any word on F & W? Is it still scheduled to happen?
not trying to spark a debate but to go off of what one of the PP said, the discoveries that are coming out from the WHO and the CDC are making me optimistic. do i think Disney is going to completely drop all of their modifications and go back to normal? not a shot.
but knowing that getting the virus from an asymptomatic person is very rare and on top of that that surface to person transmission is also not nearly as big of a concern as what they thought it was, that makes me have a much more positive outlook.
when the pandemic started i kept thinking to myself 'what person that is very ill, and feeling so sick, is going to go to an amusement park?' but then when the initial fears of asymptomatic people spreading it came out i quickly realized everyone will need to hunker down.
so i'm going to patiently wait and see what develops in the next three months and the two months that Disney is open. i've said it before that masks aren't a no go for me--the only no go is if i can't make reservations for parks it would obviously be a waste. but if SOME of the restrictions (whatever that may be) are adjusted in our favor that would be best case scenario!
the WHO recanted that today saying it was misrepresented.
And a story... I remember vividly being about 8-10 years old and having the worst sore throat of my life... at Disneyland... not telling a soul bc I wanted to go and didn’t want to miss it. I was laying down at Circlevision on the floor... delirious with fever, I remember!
so.... yeah, people go when they are sick.
10 year old you wouldn't be able to get into a park today with a fever.
and 10 year old you is a lot different than someone who had the virus unable to leave their bed as a very healthy person, entire body aches/chills, no appetite for anything, etc. could barely get up to go to the bathroom let alone walk around an amusement park getting their mind scrambled on rides..
temperature checks don't solve everything but the developments that have been released about asymptomatic people are positive.
TOTALLY AGREE!!!That’s what Disney wants. No fun = less people coming.
This has been in place for some time now. From the limited reports I've seen, if you arrive from an airport in the NY/NJ/CT/LA area, you are somehow flagged and questioned as to how and where you intend to quarantine for the first 14 days of your trip. Guessing a 5 day trip to WDW beginning the day I arrive will not cut the mustard!
true... but I’m pretty sure I only had the sore throat when the day started and the fever came later.
The Who said the asymptomatic thing was misrepresented. And my sister is an icu nurse in a COVID ward. In her experience people are asymptomaic until they crash often. And we learn more about this thing every day, so it’s hard to know.
