Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Just checked Dev's Instagram and he has some good updates. Looking forward to his video.

For those wondering about capacity for today’s previews, my understanding is that it is roughly the same cap as what we’ll see for AP previews. That said, like AP previews, CMs and their guests signed up for a preview day, not a window. Because CMs have to incorporate the preview into their established work schedule, some may only come in for a few hours before work or come for a few hours after work, but their registration still took one full day slot. In other words, there won’t be as many people staying the whole day today and tomorrow, so I think that will have an impact on wait times. AP holders are more likely to stay the whole day (more arriving and departing at once), so I’d expect to see wait times be a bit higher on Thursday and Friday.

I think the AP previews is when the concern might come in play. But for some reason I envision a high compliance rate. They’re going to take it very seriously, if they weren’t, they would have delayed the opening

Agreed, I think Disney is going to be more stringent about these rules than most others they've implemented in the past. Disney would far prefer the headline of "guests removed from park when they refuse to adhere to new safety rules" vs "crowded, maskless park hotbed for coronavirus spread"

Hopefully capacity is not much more than what we are seeing today for the next couple months. The new bob said it would be magical for the lucky few. Let’s hope he lives up to his word. I’m looking forward to not having to dodge strollers or run into people.

I’m in favor of HM having the walkthrough because I don’t see well in the dark. I walk into people not because I’m in a rush, but because I can’t see them.

Any news on Tron construction from people at the park?

It won’t be as good as CM preview days, but I’m prepared for a trip in July to be the best trip ever.

You said........................................"Seems like many if not most of the MK rides are closed today. "

Those 3 attractions dont classify as Many

That is true. Sorry.

Edited to remove my comment since it had already been mentioned (should've read further before I replied!) and I don't want the thread to spiral off subject.

Still watching the Resort TV 1 Magic Kingdom stream on YouTube and it's so weird to see a parade go through a basically empty hub!! I am jealous of today's crowd level. I can't even begin to try to guess what levels later this year might look like.

Does anyone know of any livestreams from Animal Kingdom today? I've seen some photos on Twitter and Instagram but no streams.

 

[MaC410]

Yep just got that notification lol

Well see glad I'm not a betting man! I'm honestly really surprised. Unless he just didn't get invited by a CM (which would surprise me) today would have been the perfect day for him to go. Would probably be a hugely popular video for their channel as well.

I was thinking this earlier....is this is a CM preview, then who is working all the rides? lol

Well when I worked at six flags 30 years ago, the upper level managers and suits ran the rides. (The majority of them started as plain old workers). I was Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck.

I have been clinging to the new Bob’s promise! Hope he was sincere.

No AK streams that I’ve seen. Everyone seems to be at MK that’s streaming.

That is true. Sorry.

Just checked MDE. While there was only attractions closed earlier, the list had grown quite a bit as of now. 15 or so attractions closed including many of the headliners at MK
