Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[teach22180]

I'm not sure who was asking before and sorry if this is old news, but I'm reading that they have started seating guests every row on Slinky Dog and Rockin Roller Coaster.

I imagine it would be for all coasters in all parks.

I was the person who said that I had heard that. Also for expedition Everest as well as the 2 you mentioned. I have noticed the wait times for slinky dog have definitely gone down so that makes sense.

I noticed the wait times went way down too, which is good because that line was waaaaaaaaaay too long at Thanksgiving. I have a friend who has been there for 2 weeks, coming home this Friday, and she said two of her 3 HS days they sat every row on the coasters, the other day they didn't, and didn't seem to have any rhyme or reason for that. I'll be there in 4 days, I guess I'll see. My family takes up the whole care though so I'm not concerned, would rather wait in line less than worry about how close someone is on a coaster where the wind and their germs are flying probably over my head.

SDD was loading every row when I was at HS on Saturday, but the posted wait times were still over an hour for a good part of the day, with the line beginning near the Joffrey's at the Incredibles / Pixar Place area. I suppose that's an improvement over the line hovering near the Animation Courtyard a month ago.

For what it's worth, none of the MK roller coasters were loading all rows on Friday despite BTM and 7DMT posted wait times often exceeding an hour.

Nugget Anniversary edition, HEA or just testing the new guys?

I'm sure we'll get the scoop.

More Park Pass availability added for December, especially for Resort Guests and Ticketholders.

Wow! All parks available for every single day for the rest of the month. Just this morning when I checked, there wasn’t a single day that had all 4 parks available. Can this really be a bunch of cancelled reservations that were put back into the pot?

Is TIW still being accepted?

I was just poking around on the park availability calendar like you do from time to time. Is it just me, or is there a lot more park availability now than there was just a week or so ago? Only AP's are "sold out" for HS a couple of days and AK a couple of days in December. Everything else has availability, all days, all parks. Did Disney increase capacity again? It seems like the rest of December and the first part of January had a lot less availability for all the park pass types just a week or two ago.

I know, I need a different hobby...

No

Is TIW still being accepted?

Yes, but not sold/renewed.

Is TIW still being accepted?

Yes, but they’re not selling it anymore, not even to people who have it expiring. Mine expires 12/31, which includes the 4 months they added on to it for the closure. I’m going to feel weird not having that card in my wallet anymore. I’ve had one for so many years now.

 

[hereforthechurros]

Catching up on news for the day, sorry if is missed it but any word on POR/POFQ reopening?

I don’t even know my expiration at this point!

Nope. Nothing on Port Orleans, AKL, BW, or All Star Music or Sports. Still closed indefinitely.

Since they all end at the end of a month, they just added 4 months to the cards. So just add 4 to what’s printed on the back of your card.

It also seems like they are processing the discount differently? This last trip, some places just glanced at the card and gave me the discount. A few still took the card and returned it with the check. In the past, they’ve always religiously taken the card and keyed in the numbers somewhere.

I just got an email from Disney Visa advertising a January promo of rooms starting at $149 at Coronado, $199 at Saratoga and $249 at the Contemporary. Those January resort bookings must be slim.

Wow I didn’t know they won’t renew them, I’ve used mine a few times since WDW reopened. I just got mine in February right before the shut down so maybe they will be selling them again by the time mine expires in July 2021. I’ve had one for years too, it’s a great deal for our family of 5.
