WDW COVID-19 Operational Changes- Reservation System-Rope Drop Procedures

[scrappinginontario]

they are doing a version of this now. A 3 piece band plus boat driver is going around the river, starts and ends at the Expedition Everest bridge. They come out a lot through out the day

thanks! I wasn't sure how big the 'band' normally was. 3 people plus driver works.

In EPCOT, are the Pavillions open? I was looking at the restaurant lists and it looked like neither France or Japan had any open restaurants. Is this true? And is it because they need the cultural folks back to open them? Les Halles and the ice cream shop are my favorites

 

[dachsie]

I have seen they are also only doing one seat open between guests on Flight of Passage (no plexiglass) and I agree only one seat separating guests isn’t enough space. They need at least two empty spots between guests.

One seat open between guests has the 6 feet required distance of FoP

Yes, the pavilions are open. Most of the shopping is open. Some of the restaurants are open. In France, the crêperie and the ice cream shop are open. In Japan the quick service location and the shave ice stand are open. Both also have a F&W kiosk.

Will be super sad if the bakery doesn't open by my Trip time - if I go. I have been seriously reconsidering it.

We are here now and there were only 6 of us on the 16 spots. And if you wanted to ride again you were able to go right back in. Every flight was very spaced out.

Not really sure where to report this, but it is covid related. My friend who is at MK today was just stopped by security for eating a turkey leg while walking. They told him there’s a new rule that you can’t walk around and eat anymore.

I think things will change and they will be cracking down on things more and more.

I think we are going to skip Disney for a while until things calm down. Too many rules...

For some people, 1 rule is too many. Personally, I'm glad they are finally being more active in getting people to follow the rules. It benefits everyone...imho.

WDW Policy Update: Guests Eating or Drinking Should be Stationary to Remove Masks

WDW Policy Update: Guests Eating or Drinking Should be Stationary to Remove Masks

common sense to me. I´ve been using this rule since day one that Universal opened. It´s sad they have to spell it out for people but at least this way they have a way to go back and show it in writing

Nothing common about any of this.

Exactly. The eating/drinking exception was not meant to be a "get out of wearing a mask free" card for people to walk around maskless with snacks and beverages, but that's what people have been doing. It defeats the purpose of spacing tables in dining and relaxation areas at least 6 feet apart if someone can right up next to me two feet away from me while sipping a coffee and breathing all over me. Glad that Disney is putting its foot down and enforcing this, as it was one of the things causing me anxiety about our upcoming trip (i.e., would Disney actually make people follow the rules).

it's not common sense to stop, step to the side and have a drink of water?

I think they mean the fact that all of this is new territory. Most ppl. usedto just walk to drink water and continue on their way and if theres no one around it still shouldn't be a problem ..except a rule makesit easier and non negotiable when dealing with difficult ppl. etc. It's just a different world now.

I agree. I haven’t been to Disney but at our local zoo masks are required. We went to see the otters and there was a Kid (maybe 8-9) eating something while walking right in front of the glass with no mask. Then began coughing multiple times over the glass, not covering the mouth, no parent in sight. Eventually the parent showed up after the glass had been coughed over.

yeah, it's the "new common sense" Everything you did before is out the window, time to move on and just embrace the new.There's no turning back now

Agree! Honestly, if people aren't willing to follow the rules this probably isn't the time for them to visit a theme park.

No, I agree with you. Just commenting on the insanity of all of this.
