They always change stuff often. August is still two months away before the first MNSSHP.
We have tickets to opening night to MNSSHP, but i guess they will cancel it, if they dont, hopefully it will be like the party we went to in september where there was a like 15 minute wait for mine train.

If you really want to protect your elderly relatives don’t visit them in enclosed indoor spaces. This is true today and it will be true when everything opens. The elderly shouldn’t be going to places like WDW right now. It is right there in the warnings from the CDC and is more important than the mask recommendation for preventing loss of life. I find it amazing that people who scream about someone at Disney Springs by themself at the stage area with their mask down are worried about their parents at WDW. If you were really worried about them and actually listened to the experts you would do everything you could to reschedule the trip or just say we aren’t going.
People have to be cognizant of the state of the virus. Only 5-10% of the population has had it (more in the NE). Nothing has been said its less contagious than what we originally thought. Right now, suppression combined with some hopefully seasonal conditions has kept the spread at a manageable level. We are sort of in an eye of a hurricane, waiting to find out if our assumptions about seasonality, outdoor transmission potential and social distancing/mask wearing compliance keeps things at a manageable level.
I think most, or I would hope most know the correct things to do when it comes to parents, the elderly and senior citizens by now. Must be living under a rock if you don’t.
Hey do we want to just pick and choose the CDC guidelines that don’t offend you or others? It seems the consensus is we shouldn’t do that with masks. If people are going to go all hardcore about the recommendations from the experts it really seems hypocritical to pick and choose from them on what we should and shouldn’t tell people to do.
Guidelines, by their very nature and definition, allow for variations in application. Otherwise, they would be called laws or rules. The CDC guidelines speak of older individuals as people over 65. That category covers a vast number of people who may be quite different in attitudes, individual circumstances, risk tolerance, etc. A couple who are 65 years old, maintain a healthy weight and diet, exercise regularly and have no serious health problems (and who possibly have a lot of DVC points lol), may be willing to take the risk of visiting Disney despite the fact that age alone weakens a person's immune system. As long as they abide by any actual laws or rules of the venue (such as wearing a face mask), their decision on where to go or how much risk to take should be respected. Older adults, and their relatives, loved ones or the people responsible for them have the right to make these decisions without being told by others what they should or shouldn't do.
I have a MIL and FIL who are both in the high risk category that still plan their cruise for September, don't restrict movement, or wear masks in public. It's their decision to go or not, and other than we've asked them to limit visits with DD11 to outdoor and through glass it's not our call. Whether they will be allowed to board for a cruise is a different story though.
Yes I think there’s a lot of truth to that. I can’t speak for everyone, but I was surprised by Universals June 5 date. I noticed a lot people started making predictions after that. As to wether Universal forced their hand I can’t say.
There’s no way we would ever tell my MIL and FIL what to do. They are adults not children they make their own decisions. They love cruising I’m sure they’ll be back at it whenever cruises resume. I heard some rumors about some cruise lines restricting guests over 70, but I don’t know if that will happen. Retired folks are some cruise lines main customers.
Where are you getting 5-10%?? By the CDC numbers, and using 330 million for US population, the number infected is only .5%.
I was trying to head off the "Everyone has already had it crowd" by being generous with my estimate.
We didn’t respect anyone’s decision on how much risk they were willing to take for two months. People were thrown in jail for surfing by themselves with no one around. I don’t think we should throw seniors in jail or ban them from places, but if you want to really save lives people should really make it clear to their older loved ones that there are some behaviors they shouldn’t be taking part in right now. It doesn’t matter what kind of shape they are in. Advanced age by itself is the single biggest risk factor for the most serious complications of COVID 19. People are more than willing to tell almost everyone else what to do, but the single biggest thing you can do to save lives for those at the highest risk is for some reason taboo.
They have removed this restriction as per CLIA. Ill see if I can find the official announcement on this one. Marie
