Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

For some odd reason, I don't think 6 feet apart in queues, on rides and walking around is going to work.

Simple thanks to partnership synergy!

Each guest, as they enter the turnstile and hermetically-sealed Covid-19 delousing station will be given a Target shopping cart designed to separate them the appropriate distance while standing in line for an attraction. 1 cart per person please!

Well, it's good for minimizing germs on most surfaces, but completely ignores the facial area...which is where you're most likely to become infected from.

And of course, most use it incorrectly. 20 seconds or it may as well not be used at all.

And don't forget the morons who apply the sanitizer and then "dry" their hands on paper towels. Saw two people in front of me at the grocery store do this last week...

One thing that still seems off to me is that there is no discussion of maximum group gatherings sizes. So in the federal guidelines phase 1 still limits public gatherings to 10 people plus no non-essential travel. Phase 2 allows non-essential travel but limits public gatherings to 50 people. It’s not until phase 3 that the limit on public gatherings lifts. IMHO WDW doesn‘t meet the guidelines until phase 3. Under the recommendations shared here earlier from the county there is no talk of group gathering limits. Are they suggesting a group gathering like WDW is OK for phase 1? That seems odd to me. I know the federal guidelines are just suggestions but to go from no more than 10 to half a theme park full seems like a big discrepancy.

Makes sense. They are keeping it to groups under 10 which jives with federal recommendations.

Add in the 20% of people seen on tv wearing masks but with their nostrils showing above the mask. Do they really believe they only have to cover their mouth?

I can only laugh at this point because my empathy is waning.

100 degrees on Main Street USA and I would give some guests a few minutes before they can't take it anymore and the face masks will be lowered below their nostrils.

Has anyone been on a plane yet with a face mask?

 

[ThatMouse]

Do we know what the "partial refund" is for passholders yet? Sounds like our passes are going to resume, but it's going to be still stupid to go.

What I can’t picture is... when I think of 6 ft in FP or SB lines..or in lines in quick service.. or any of this in Disney, I can picture it kind of in my head. Still don’t think it can work but I can picture it. Main Street is where it all goes crazy. Cannot for the life of me seeing distancing on MS. If to many people enter will they hold them back at the train station? Then that mass of people builds up?Someone please help put the picture in my head.

Totally agree, but I have a solution and works with Disney synergy.
"as part of our new immersive experience and to make everything more star warsy, you can now for the low price purchase one of our star wars official hazmat suits, built in filtration included" "another advantage to wearing this is you will lose at least 20 pounds each day" "to enforce the 6 foot social distancing, gaffi sticks will be included with some outfits" Example of one of many outfits available,

No reference at all to restrictions/requirements in respect of customers (e.g. no reference to guests having to amend behavior, wear masks or be subject to temp checks) except for marking out distancing within queues. Specified measures to protect guests from employees, but no specified measures to protect employees from guests. Interesting focus, right?

It actually does...let’s say if someone was exposed to the virus and they have a trip planned to Disney World. They have to make the smart decision and not go.

Also, decisions require intelligence. Just in general.

And a FULL no quibble refund from WDW or travel agent otherwise will guests always be honest .......

the places ive seen where they only allow so many people inside at a time, the people outside don't abide by 6 foot in line, they creep up until its a mass of cattle, I don't see how you do social distancing, and the queues aren't made for it.
