Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[SarahC97]

It's important to note that these changes appear to be (as of now) only for this upcoming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if we see them start extending hours piecemeal as each weekend gets closer when (thanks to the reservation system) they have a firm idea of how many Guests they're expecting. September has certainly turned out better than they feared, so we'll see if the "crowds" continue. Again, I know I say this a lot but October is going to be very important in determining what park hours situation and offerings look like for November and December.

I'm holding out hope for longer hours over Thanksgiving week. I'll take summer hours -- anything!!

Definitely agree for the parks and the headliner TS at resorts (‘Ohana, Sana’a, etc). I see no reason it couldn’t work at a Boatwright’s or Maya Grill. Even the bread service and other apps at Sana’a could work without being too disruptive.

Oh man! Now you have me dreaming of someone delivering Ohana to me! LOL! I would pay $$$ to get it made and delivered to my hotel room! They need to do a Grub hub type of service for their TS restaurants! YUM!

Any rumors of any WDW announcements coming from this?

Well during normal times you could get Ohana delivered to your room at Poly as part of the Twilight Feast. But now, with Ohana most likely not opening until Poly reopens in the Summer, I doubt that’ll happen.

I think this will primarily be updates from officials and then the Disneyland opening date/what's to come with that. I am not expecting much if anything for WDW.

I get the feeling the Trader Sam’s at Disneyland Hotel will open before the one at the Polynesian.

... Nah. It’s not THAT bad!

Rumours? Like wdw closing again?

I’m sure I missed it, but Savi’s is open today. I didn’t figure it out until 45 minutes before park close, so I obviously missed out.

I just saw on Twitter that they are not announcing a reopening date tomorrow.

Nevermind see it now. Strange to hold the press conference then.

What could they be announcing? Plans to announce that they will be announcing something?

Of course anything is possible, but why call back equity and slowly reopen all the things they’ve been opening, move forward with GF opening, announce hours and protocols for GCH at Poly, and give us an opening date for a tba water park? That seems odd.
My guess: either an NFL or NCAAF double site bubble playoff.

I wonder if this will just be more pressure to push CA to allow them to open. Showcase what WDW is doing well. Let DL officials speak and Josh wraps it up.

A bit on who will speak. Definitely looks like a “look what we are doing well now let us open Disneyland Newsome!”

Anyone getting a feeling there was this awkward 3pm phone call from Newsom’s office where DLR found out their done deal wasn’t so done?...

Sounds like a total snooze fest TBH.

Guess it’s their version of pressing Newsom. As if he cares
