Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[atkinstogram]

Not sure what nice tape looks like. Disney themed duct tape?

They could use tape that is patterned the same as the carpet. That would be much nic--

Wait.

No one's pretending its the safest place to be. And NO, no one is directing you into a UNAVOIDABLE risky situation. If the situation is unsafe, you simply AVOID it; I don't care what anyone else doing or who may be directing. A little common sense goes a long way here!

common sense + personal responsibility would go a long way in a lot of places!

Any thoughts on this?

Is it just automatic (not updated to the new system?) Or... ___(insert your theory here)___ .

Saw on live vlogs that some FP kiosks are covered up, while others are not???

Automatic. When I was @ AK on thursday and Dinosaur was down it displayed the same thing. There are no fastpasses.

Concerning the walk-up tickets, I feel this was completely pre-planned. Which, from a business profit standpoint, is something I would consider. But, and it's a huge caveat, they risk alienating their "most loyal fans". The recovery? Announce a limited number of AP only days from here onward.

At Haunted Mansion or Phantom Manor, instead of tape, maybe chalk outlines of bodies?

DLP in general is looking good. I wonder if they continued with a lot more maintenance than wdw did during the shutdown?

That doesn’t say nice to me....

This is about health and safety in this instance not necessarily theming. I’m sure depending on how long this goes on they can modify things to fit better with theming.

Those of you that will be at WDW today, look to the east around 10:54 AM. Today is launch day for the Space X Falcon 9 rocket (60% go flight on weather). What a great bonus if the weather/conditions hold. Enjoy!

Since today's launch is a scrub, maybe guests at WDW can follow if they want to.

Is there even a benefit to buying walk up tickets? Couldn’t someone just go online and buy a ticket for MK today and reserve a spot for immediate entry (subject to availability of course)?

While I have a type of humor that would find that to be very clever and hysterical, others would just become hysterical over the insensitivity of it...

While AP only days would be cool, they wouldn’t do that as they want to have park availability for people staying on property. They couldn’t tell guests staying in their resorts that they can’t go to a park today because it’s closed for APs.

I am very interested to see the first reports of people showing up at the touch points without a park reservation (both resort guests and APs). My guess is resort guests will be allowed in but APs will be turned away. And really the APs should be turned away if they have already made their 3 park reservations, they shouldn‘t get extra park days just because they showed up.

Good reminder that no one needs to go to wdw right now. And if you go, you don’t need to go at rope drop when it will be most crowded.

That's what I'm curious to watch over the next couple of weeks. Rope drop vs. waiting to head into the parks - will it make a difference as people see that it's not too crowded?

TBH, I think health and safety warnings should not fit the theming so that they stand out and get noticed and are consistent from one part of the park to another.

That's a very fair point. So only AP mornings, resort guests afternoon staggered by park by day and then inverse.

I.... feel the same way (about her maybe being in the wrong line of work ). I’ve never heard of her before she was mentioned in this thread a few times, but I honestly just went way back on her twitter timeline to try and understand. Does she REALLY not have a choice but to go? Is there like, a medical condition she’s shared that explains the fear...? I guess I’m just confused. Doesn’t really affect me, I’ll just keep skipping her posts. But I’ve been genuinely confused, feeling like I was missing something obvious about her

ETA: I truly, very personally understand anxiety. I’m not saying she doesn’t have a right to feel how she does... just not in agreement that she’s in any sort of pitiable position. My $0.02

I appreciate the variety of personalities of the various bloggers. IMHO, we need someone like Caryle giving her raw emotions. There are people out there weighing the decision of whether or not to come to WDW. If you are anxious about the situation, her story may help you avoid spending a lot of money on a situation you cannot handle. There are many more vloggers in the park giving different perspectives. Whether or not she should be there is her personal decision. I feel bad for her, but applaud her for putting it out there. It feels genuine to me.

If you feel like she is to anxious find someone else you identify with and get the story from their perspective.

Noticed you can modify adrs on the app now without being switched to the web page

Looks like there was a big ticketing issue this morning.

Wow! This is honestly what I was hoping to see at opening. People have to be able to avoid each other as much as possible.

Is Small World all boarded up? I can’t tell what I’m seeing.
