Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[yulilin3]

I'm curious about how they handle park hopping when limiting it to only start at 2PM. Will there be a separate 2PM "rope drop" line for those that are hopping but get to a park before 2?

You need to have had a park reservation for dhs to apply for a bg. If you're just park hopping you don't need a reservation and won't be able to apply for a bg
Nvmd read your question completely wrong lol
They'll probably have a separate line at the tapstiles

Might be - I could see like how they do at parks for opening when people had pre-park opening dining reservations or tours where they have those people go to some tapstyles and then those just there for regular rope drop line up at others

Well, I read a rumor we can discuss! From a newly registered poster on WDWMAGIC

A refurb for Pirates from 2021-2022. First from Jan - April they will be restoring ride to original w/out Red and Jack Sparrow. Then after summer/fall - they will close again and will redo with Red as lead pirate?

Very confusing. But hey, let's discuss!

The Splash Mountain controversy would be nothing compared to this lol. Depp is in a lot of hot water right now, but I’m not sure they’d take him out of the ride. When you see the animatronic you’re not saying “Look, it’s Johnny Depp”. The Redd stuff never bothered me. The animatronic looks a little weird next to the older ones beside her, but the “story” change just never really upset me like it has for many

Though in some ways I can see people being more ok with this since it returns the ride to more what the original intent was vs shoehorning in the movie characters

Though, I realize then the 2nd update it based on a new movie coming out at least it is based on a specific character that was original to the original ride - vs inserting new characters/new IP into it

I mean, looks, it's Disney fans, of course they will complain but I could see less complaining about this than the 100% change to Splash

I don't think that POTC "rumor" is even worth discussing right now.

Uh oh - - another rumor from the new poster....: (true post, meaning I didn't make this up )

Poster claims to work at WDW - Magic Carpets may soon be retired as it's too overcrowded, breaks down often and will be replaced by palm trees and benches.

Hmmm.

A legacy attraction, regardless of whether it was an Opening Day attraction, not being open a month after the 50th anniversary starts, I would seriously doubt that would happen

I can’t wait for the inevitable petition to bring back Ellen’s Energy signed by 100,000 people when the line wouldn’t exceed a 5 minute wait even if the park was at capacity

I had Dockside booked but was moved to Surfside in August and I was totally wow-ed! Would recommend to anyone.

I liked EEA and marveled at the engineering that moved all those large blocks of seats around. Great for a mid-day break.

I would have liked your post had it not been for the recent passing of Alex Trebek. Too soon. If the ride still existed and WDW planned to replace it now, I think you'd have a more than 100,000 Trebek fans signing a petition.

Regis Philbin died, no ones petitioning to bring Who Wants to be a Millionaire back to DHS or CA

I wish I could explain why but my kids LOVED Ellen's Energy Adventure. It was always a must-do for them. I think the only reason I ever rode it was because of them. And I must add that they are all adults at this point and were so bummed when it closed.

I think the only 2 things that have been taken away and replaced in my lifetime (I’m 32) that have been taken away or replaced, outside of Parades and Fireworks that has hurt are Mickey’s Starland Show, and the Osborne Lights. And it’s hard to argue against Galaxys Edge replacing Osborne, especially since it’s a seasonal experience. Everything else has been whatever for me. I liked great movie ride, but I think MMRR is a better showcase attraction
