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

[TeriofTerror]

If buses are limited and there's no Epcot monorail, it appears as though transportation may be slow. Are Uber and Lyft still operating in the area?

 

[Mainahman]

Im seeing monorail and skyliner news, but will the giant ferries be operating from TTC to MK? Id imagine thats easy to socially distance with smaller crowds, so im wondering if thats a better option.

ALl of these announcements about transportation makes me happy for 2 things.

1 i'm not at a monorail resort, and 2 i'm driving, so ill just drive to the parks.

Are they charging you for parking?

These announcements regarding transportation options are giving me more confidence of the parks opening on July 11th!!

Im a resort guest, so ill get charged to park at the resort. Im assuming it will be the Deluxe rate, even though we were upgraded.

They aren't really announcements, just me reporting on what is happening IF the parks carry on reopening as planned. Everything done so far can be halted if needed.

I was wondering if there was any news about them possibly waiving it. I guess not.

And the bus driver whose eyes are supposed to be on the road is going to enforce social distancing?

When no ones stood up and have been asked not to stand up, it won’t be hard to remind them if needs be.

Thank the lord for Minnie Van.

Good point. Still gives me hope either way.

I tried to ask a chat CM, and they as we went from a value to a deluxe villa. I assumed id be paying the new rate, and they were not sure, no ones said anything around it, so im assuming its business as usual on that front!

Thank the lord for Minnie Van.

Didn't think they were running? Do we know if they will be running when parks open? (apologies if that got announced and I just missed it)

 

[marni1971]

Thank the lord for Minnie Van.

Minnie Vans will not be available

The site that must not be named had pictures inside of the internal resort bus for Fort Wilderness last week. It's pretty darn distanced.

Also means that it's theoretically possible there could only be a maximum of 5 or 6 people on the bus if they're all "single riders"

 

[Rich Brownn]

Universal is now allowing them but only after speaking to guest services. I don't think we've heard anything from WDW allowing them yet.

And if you say you can't wear a mask, a face shield is actually required for admission

If the Skyliner is kept to one part per cabin, the risk is very minimal. It's well ventilated space and more and more epidemiologists are saying that surface to human transmission is a minimal risk.

Also, as a way to decrease risk, when a single party enters a gondola, they shouldn't run their hands over the insides and then stick their fists in their mouths.

Also, hit the sanitizer on the way out and all will be fine.

Well, you'll drive to the MK parking lot. How are you getting across the lake?

 

[monothingie]

Minnie Vans will not be available

Which means you should be reserving your rental cars. Even through aggregators such as Costco Travel, prices have steadily continued to increase.

ill pack my water wings! Thats why i was wondering if the ferries are running, vs the Monorail etc. Ill be watching that once they open.

The express monorail beam has been converted to a walkway. Please also note that the 600V DC monorail bus bars have been left energized to facilitate recharging of cellular telephones, tablets, cameras, Teslas, and ECVs. More Magic, More Timeless, More Disney™

Am I doing it right @realBobChapek ?
