    Hurricane Ian - WDW Resorts Related Updates, Planning & Discussion

    I think this hurricane was pretty mild compared to some past events at Disney. My memory is not what it used to be but I remember following along with other hurricanes.. if I recall the response was pretty uncoordinated during Matthew and Irma was a major hurricane that was still expected to be...

    Hurricane Ian - WDW Resorts Related Updates, Planning & Discussion

    I am not the least bit surprised by this. I think the more expensive disney becomes, the more entitled guests will feel to perfection. It's kind of happening everywhere, entitlement seems to be at an all time high and gratitude an all time low, and both going in the wrong direction still.

    Osceola too, and they are very very hard hit by flooding.

    Hurricane Ian - WDW Resorts Related Updates, Planning & Discussion

    Also I'd be surprised if they opened up the parks just for resort guests. It is massively expensive to open/run the parks and they pretty much count on them being pretty full most of the time to make it worth it. It would not be responsible for them to open up to everyone until the...

    Hurricane Ian - WDW Resorts Related Updates, Planning & Discussion

    I think they've withstood far worse. I've never heard of bad flooding/overflowing at Disney. Torrential downpours are not that uncommon either whether a hurricane is blowing through or not.

    Hurricane Ian - WDW Resorts Related Updates, Planning & Discussion

    Yes, but I think that the fact that you are addressing it through social media is a lot more likely to get attention than speaking to someone on the phone who is lord knows where. The people who handle the DMs are aware that you are aware that if they don't do the right thing, it could easily...

    Hurricane Ian - WDW Resorts Related Updates, Planning & Discussion

    Disney may have fared very well but it sounds like some areas of Orlando still got hit very hard and they may have trouble getting full staff, plus they need some time to do cleanup and safety checks and stuff in the parks and they may not even start that until the winds die down. But it does...

    Hurricane Ian - WDW Resorts Related Updates, Planning & Discussion

    usually people who complain publicly are addressed. It's possible that the manager was just following the direction they'd been giving from higher up, but corporate certainly has the power to make it right.

    You can't even get a sandwich where I live for $15! At least Disney isn't fleecing people! (on food for a captive audience)

    Hurricane Ian - WDW Resorts Related Updates, Planning & Discussion

    it looks like tropical storm conditions are possible through the end of the day thursday and I would expect that they are going to take some time to clean up, so I'd say high probability for closures extending through Friday. How much further depends on the extent of the damage, not just on...

    Hurricane Ian - WDW Resorts Related Updates, Planning & Discussion

    in a worst case scenario you can do that, but it is very unlikely that it will happen. You are a lot more likely to see wind-driven water coming in around the seams. I don't think the winds will be high enough where you are to outright have a window fail or lift something heavy enough and far...

    Holland America-MS Zaandam cruise still in progress

    Not sure how forcing cruise lines to pay taxes here to compensate for support that comes from the USA comes out of your pocket - it may if cruise fares go up but in the interim I would expect that cruise fares would need to come down and not go up to get the industry restarted. it is going to...

    Holland America-MS Zaandam cruise still in progress

    I thought that too but it actually was one of those really long cruises which you could join or leave at points along the way, and I believe it both started and ended in Ft Lauderdale, which is why they ended up there. Buenos Aires was the next location where they had people...

    Holland America-MS Zaandam cruise still in progress

    Sounds like a reasonable approach even if it doesn't happen as quickly as people would like. It's a relief that we (USA) are doing the right thing based on everyone's understanding of the way it worked when they boarded. But I think there are going to be some changes to how cruise ships are...

    Sorry thought you knew I was talking about NY - Cuomo in state only but has gotten donations from Oregon too

    Holland America-MS Zaandam cruise still in progress

    he has said he will either return them or pay for new ones. Right now he is redirecting 20% of any "surplus" ventilators (20% of ventilators not being used) which will result in 500 additional ventilators from upstate hospitals to downstate with a promise to return them or pay for new ones and...

    Holland America-MS Zaandam cruise still in progress

    with so many places under lockdown there are not many non COVID patients. They have seen a HUGE drop in anything but COVID - the 2500 beds at the Javits center were SUPPOSED to be for non-COVID only to make room for COVID in the regular hospitals, but there are almost no critical non-COVID...

    Holland America-MS Zaandam cruise still in progress

    I think this is why Governor Cuomo is calling for a coordinated effort to move supplies (ventilators and PPE) and personnel to where they are needed as it is needed. It's clear there is not enough to go around for everyone to have enough for peak need all at once but not everyone is going to...
