There are work arounds for that. The tap/scan device can be set up so the photographer isn't wearing it hanging from their belt.Can't scan a band from six feet away...

Clear and precise video of what to expect at universal. Most of these procedures will be implemented at Disney
that's trueThey left out the requirement for putting on hand sanitizer as you board each attraction. That is an important thing for them to mention so those allergic to standard formulas can bring their own into the attractions.
I have a July 1st CM discounted room at Contempo. They have not contacted or cancelled my reservation. I think people with a first week of July reservation might be able to keep them (maybe get transferred to another resort, in the case of the CR I don't think they'll transfer) the real question is are you willing to come only to stay at the resort with the parks closed?OK, the more I read the more confused I become. lol So I have a room only ressie at Contempo for July 4th holiday, of course the park is closed then. I have and AP and booked with an AP discount. I've not gotten any emails about our room reservation (I got the general AP email). Do I hold on to the reservation, and let Disney contact me, or do I cancel it? Any insight/opinions?
no wording on their website about the possibility of not being able to enter the parks?So this was something that popped up during yesterday's DIS Unplugged, one individual in the chat was mentioning that they were able to book one of the Swan/Dolphin during this time. I took the initiative to check and sure enough I can book the Swan/Dolphin for my trip dates (AUG 1-8).
Since they are run by Marriott that made sense in that regard, but i'm wondering if they won't have as immediate of access as guests of the Disney owned hotels to the reservation system.
We have a room only reservation at CBR for 7/2-7/7 since we all have APs. We got an email this weekend that our final payment was due June 2, so we called. The CM said that they have no idea about which resorts are opening when except DVC on June 22. She told us to hang on to our reservation, final payment is not due until a week prior, and if the resort is closed it will be automatically cancelled. I wanted to hang on just in case we get a discount for a future trip of Disney cancels for us since the resort would be closed. I am also holding out for the very slim possibility of maybe some soft previews for APs at that time (though that would be pretty early)...though I dont know if we would want to do thatOK, the more I read the more confused I become. lol So I have a room only ressie at Contempo for July 4th holiday, of course the park is closed then.

Some people hope that if Disney cancels for you, there may be some sort of recovery offer. There has been no indication of a recovery offer to date.OK, the more I read the more confused I become. lol So I have a room only ressie at Contempo for July 4th holiday, of course the park is closed then.

no mention of park entry. Since you're in August you have a ways to go so I would keep it for now and then you can decide later if you need to cancel.This is all their website says for covid-19:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UPCOMING RESERVATIONS AND

How does this sit with the room only cancellation conditions, which I think are cancellation before 7 days is free of charge? It is like waiting to see who blinks first.According to the website, they are canceling 7 days prior, if the resort remains closure during your trip, if you have not,
So, it doesn’t appear they will cancel you out until then...or, at some point you might be contacted to see if you want to modify the trip...which won’t be until after they open up reservations.
If you know you are not going regardless, you can cancel. If there is a chance you will go or adjust, then I would say no harm in waiting until they will cancel you a week before check in.

yes rumor/speculation our two favorite words on this threadI am under the impression that the running rumor/speculation is that there have been indications that places like SoG, Swan/Dolphin, FS, Waldorf Astoria, and the eligible Disney Springs hotels ARE included in the 'on site guest' grouping, but I don't think this is confirmed as far as I know. I think it was wrapped up in some of the weird/inconsistent TA news/info that's been coming out. You may want to post on the Resorts Board or Orlando Hotels & Attractions Board to check the latest.
Someone please correct me if I'm behind on info. Txs.
