Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

Some actual news:

MagicBands will be mandatory to allow guests to complete health questionnaires in advance through the app.

MDE finally finds its purpose.

I hope not only blue colored and on the right arm.

I lost my job at Disney and just got a job at Hotel Breakers and am being asked to start Mid-May for a June opening.

Hopefully we'll see you there in July

Great, all we need to do when Summer comes is to never go into indoor air conditioning!

Knew someone who moved to Orlando in the early 1980s. Didn't have AC in her car and only circular fans in the her house. She survived and adapted.

Haha. Yeah, let's trust the system that cannot even get a family a fastpass with something that they would want to seriously roll out to show safety efforts.

I’ve use Magic Bands from the beginning when they came out. It was tricky at first but for our family it’s been pretty much smooth sailing to use. I think they work just fine. But that’s only my opinion based on our usage which was every weekend before the parks shut down

If combined with contact tracing, a 1 week trip to WDW will be followed by a 2 week quarantine at home.

I was just joking. But the magic bands would not be necessary for the questionare even if it did become a thing(which would be kind of pointless ane make a lawyer somewhere partially happy) Not that I think it would happen, you would just need the APP not the magic band.

Will the app prompt you on arrival or during online check in? For the questionnaire, that is.

This is some good news.

Do the airlines perform any kind of screening prior to boarding? I haven’t flown since the closure of WDW, so I was curious to anyone else’s experiences.

I could see TSA using thermal imaging during the body scans to see if you are sick.

I wonder if college students will want to pay to be on campus if they were masks, can’t go to sports game, can’t party, tons of other things affected due to social distancing. I know I won’t be returning on campus this fall...

Well considering no one has said those things won't happen next academic year it would be silly to make that decision right now.
