    News Walt Disney World's COVID-19 reopening plans announced - July 11

    We have a trip scheduled for Mid October for POFQ and still have not had the changes made to the price or had our dining canceled. Holding out hope everything stays but I know it's just a matter of time.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I agree, there is no way to avoid lines but you can try to minimize the customer's exposure risk. I think it is extremely optimistic to think you will ever see most rides with a 10-minute wait outside of a special ticketed event where they purposely limit capacity to somewhere below 50K people...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    If they go the route of boarding pass for all, I think it's almost mandatory to allow multiple at one time, in effect replacing FP+, the only difference being that you need to be in the park to get in the queue. Just doing it for one or two headliners makes no sense from a safety perspective...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    This is where I think Fastpass is going to hurt them. Before Fastpass, the non-tier A rides might have a 20 or 30-minute wait with relatively low crowds so controlling would be much easier. Now that everything is Fastpass, even the tier B or C rides get 40+ minute waits. Sure, you may not...

    POLL: When are you planning to return to Walt Disney World?

    Not really sure, I thought I read that the MNSSHP tickets are non-refundable. Not sure if that same legal verbiage is on the normal ticket terms of service, but I don't believe it is. They might still have the event go on just with trick or treating and the rides still open but everything else...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    The site mentions it updates at 11:30 AM and 6:30 PM but there is only one line graph per day. I don't want to stray too far off-topic so I'm just gonna chalk it up to the Florida Department of Health not updating properly and leave it at that. Back to your regularly scheduled thread :)

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    What's odd, is the source of the numbers I was referring to is actually the first source link for Florida on Worldometer. I guess either Florida department of health isn't updating it as diligently as they should or they use a different data set to get their numbers.

    Here you go: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429 Like I mentioned, I haven't sourced or vetted it, I just got it off of a link from the Florida corona virus page

    Not sure if I'm allowed to link to an external site, but it was a link I got off of the Florida main site for Corona info. I can send it to you if you drop me a PM.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    The optimistic good news I'm seeing in the Florida data is that deaths have dropped to 50% of what they were at the worst (around 42 deaths a day) down to approximately 20ish a day and the trend seems to be heading down. The more worrisome trend i see is that it looked like the trend for new...

    POLL: When are you planning to return to Walt Disney World?

    I went ahead and booked a trip starting mid-october. Hoping by then that Disney would have had at least a month or two to work out most of the kinks in the new normal process. To put it in perspective, the airline cost was about 50% cheaper than it usually is even during the slow times of the...

    WDW Reopening Estimates

    My guess is that by mid June Disney will open in a limited capacity (new queue process, reduced parades, shows, and fireworks, and reduced restaurant capacity). I expect Disney to be fully up and running without reduced capacity by the end of September (though still implementing some form of...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Another random thought I was just thinking about. Assuming the parks open by June, there is still a very real chance the travel ban currently in place for the roughly 25ish countries currently being affected will still remain in effect for some time afterward. What kind of response would that...

    Opening WDW with Social Distancing

    The problem is that this virus will be here for years no matter what we do. Recently a single infected person in South Korea is thought to have given it to hundreds of others after going out to multiple public places and gatherings even knowing they had the virus. This virus seems to be even...

    Food And Wine Festival 2020

    Authentic Disney trash can, slightly used, premium comfort and space. For rent just like a Cabana at Typhoon Lagoon for the low price of $60 dollars the day of, $55 if you book early.

    Food And Wine Festival 2020

    I would guess people would either need to eat while walking or find non designated eating areas (such as railings, benches, sidewalks a little further away) and eat there. Not the ideal solution but it spreads people out more than encouraging congregating in a single area.

    Food And Wine Festival 2020

    I would feel pretty confident that it will happen but I think you will see the following changes: Booths may be moved or spread out to different locations. Given the number of guests per booth, some would easily stretch to the next if you implemented the 6-foot restriction Removal of...

    POLL: When are you planning to return to Walt Disney World?

    We have a trip tentatively scheduled for March of next year. I was going to try to squeeze in another trip in October but looking at the pricing of moderate rooms for that time is just crazy (~325 night for PORS or Caribbean beach). I can't justify dropping ~5K for a week vacation for two when...

    Need Help deciding - I have two reservations - Carribean Beach vs AllStar Music Suite

    It's been quite a few years since the last time I went to All Star Music but we go to CBR regularly so I can speak to that. I would avoid CBR right now for the following reasons: CBR has no elevators in their buildings. I'm sure they would accommodate you with a first floor room but just...
