Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[DGsAtBLT]

On the big AP group on Facebook someone met Bob Chapek and took a picture with him. Not touching, but much closer together than 6 feet. Think he’s gonna get fired or reprimanded for setting a bad example?

Yeah I’m still bitter over that rumour.

How many people can you have at a maximum tent campsite at FW? Terrible to have to pay anything, but if you're an AP and really need the itch with a group, at least it could only be like $20 a person? Maybe?

 

[anthony2k7]

You were talking about getting in with a blocked AP, I thought you were referring to a seasonal blocked ap, as it hasn’t been confirmed that AP cant walk up and get a reservation and get in. There is officially only a seasonal blocked AP.

the park has only been open for a few hours

None of us are talking about normal ap blackout days.

We're talking about park reservations.

She's still ranting that it's not OK. Seems like this is a bigger issue than the preview day DFB photo was. Its on going and no CMs are doing anything about it according to Carly

She has decided to leave. She doesn’t feel comfortable. I feel bad for her. She tried but her anxiety got the best of her.

 

[gottalovepluto]

While I understand her job is reporting on theme parks, the amount of anxiety she seems to have over going.... might be time to consider a change? A leave of absence? She’s giving me anxiety for her anxiety

Yeah she is unfortunately an example of someone who should not be at a theme park due to personal issues. Obviously there would be lines and big groups together like those in the photos (and they don’t seem nearly as bad as they could be, I’m surprised at how spaced out they are). Maybe she didn’t realize until she was there that it would cause it her anxiety? Anxiety is not a joke, been there done that. You turn around and walk away.

I don’t know but you can get Pop as early as tomorrow night for $135 so $35 ish per person for a family of 4.

Has it been confirmed that isn’t happening?

Yes...

 

[anthony2k7]

Looks like touring plans is there doing their calculations of wait times - looks like Splash is one of the higher waits currently at 33 mins

Is that for the ride or the gift shop?

UPDATE: Despite the voicemail, there’s no resort watercraft transportation “at this time.”

We are arriving in a couple hours at the FW Cabins, if there isn't any watercraft running, how do we get to MK? TIA

I am glad she is leaving - just not good for her to be there now. There is no way things are going to be 100% compliant 100% of the time and if every tiny deviation will upset you (which is understandable) then best to not be there. Feel bad for her

I've tried to give them the benefit of the doubt with the three buckets and know they need to put some sort of limit on passholders, but this is pretty terrible to clearly say there is available capacity and not add to the AP "bucket" day of, but instead only sell day of tickets

no doubt the will add a day of bucket for AP if they haven’t already

Perfectly stated-- I think you nailed it here.

No doubt...............

 

[osufeth24]

disagree. They would have done it today if that were to be the case. They know what they're doing

 

[TheMaxRebo]

We'll see, they haven't so far but they were quick to add day of for purchase tickets

Obviously still time and maybe they adjust going forward but if I was a passholder that didn't get a reservation for today but could get there, but not able to get in while they are selling day of tickets I'd be a bit annoyed

 

[Dentam]

I guess since I work at a public institution outdoors, I don't have any anxiety with being socially distanced while outdoors with everyone in masks. My anxiety would be dining indoors or being in the indoor relaxation station with people without masks on given what we know now about how the virus is transmitted most easily. I feel bad for her, but I don't think it looks like an actual issue...

yes, but have you confirmed that you can’t walk up and get a reservation as an AP holder

I'm not quite sure how anyone can defend allowing the sale of day tickets at the gate while at the same time denying block out free AP's access to reservations. How can that possibly be ok with anyone? I don't care how badly Disney needs money. People paid thousands of dollars for tickets that they can't use to get into the park unless they want to pay for a day ticket.

Seems to be the longest line at MK

Just curious if this is someone importantish. I noticed Joe Rohde follows her.

I've done it there before, most times at that GS I end up needing to get a second CM to help with military stuff but the line is usually shorter than the parks. It's been a while though, so the policy may have changed. I really only buy standalone photopass when I travel with family members who want it. I'll try to report back after next weekend.

Thanks so much!
We'll probably be in DS our first night next month (have a tentative reservation if we can get there in time) and I never thought to ask a second CM for help.
