Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

The journalists being invited aren’t scrounging by life depositing coins into coin star. Don’t let them fool you, they are treated very well if they’re in the position to be invited to a very exclusive atmosphere.

Ah Coin Star! That's helped us a few times over the years.

What happens to CM errors though? Does Disney correct them or let them go?

No idea...but if I was a guest who was rescheduled and pushed it, knowing it is not supposed to happen, I’d probably at least expect I could get canceled

Now, IMO, the one sent to BC in November might not get caught...but, I also am going to assume that now that there are reports it is happening, that they have taken steps to ensure CMS don’t continue doing it.

Having to pay for your own accommodations for 3.5 months isn't being treated very well.

Disney related but not park related. LA releases rules on how TV and movies can start to film again. These are not completely final because the unions and guilds still need to weigh in but these are the starting point.

Pretty sure I read the journalists have to pay their own way.

They aren’t individually paying. The media outlet they work for will be paying. And that’s for smaller outlets. Disney isn’t likely going to charge their own employees at ESPN to follow the season

I haven't seen the journalist complaints personally, so I don't know who is saying what exactly, but in general I can imagine that having to pay for 3.5 months in a hotel you aren't allowed to leave is big reason for the unhappiness. Even at a discounted rate, 100 consecutive nights in a hotel is a lot of money. The article linked in this tweet even mentions that makes this cost-prohibitive for most outlets.

Their company will pay it. The journalists won't be paying it themselves but I don't see any reason that people that are not required to be there should get free lodgiing.

The computer allowed or it didn’t. These CMs aren’t doing this by pen and paper for heavens sake. I expect the reservations to just become one of the thousands of other reservations at their new hotel that will need to be moved if the hotel is still closed when their trip time comes.

From the link ~

These reporters would be allowed to attend the games in person, but would not be allowed onto the Disney/ESPN campus.

Uh, what? Exactly how is that going to work??

 

[Mit88]

If the individual journalists had to pay their own way, they just wouldn’t go. Its the same as any other scenario. Accommodations aren’t free during the regular season, and there are 40+ games a season where you’re not staying at home unless the team you follow plays in the same area as the team they’re playing (Knicks/Nets, Clippers/Lakers, etc). Those journalists don’t pay for their hotel rooms or food during the regular season

They are not staying in a hotel every night for 3 months.

We postponed Disney indefinitely, and extended what was a bookend to start the trip to a week at Universal in August. Surprisingly, my kids took it better than I did! They’ve been waiting for a while to build some droids, so I thought they’d be devastated.

That sounds like a nice trip! My kids just want to go somewhere lol! So they are happy either way. I’ll have to make a decision soon!

 

[Mit88]

Neither are military men and women serving overseas, its much longer for most. They’re staying in far worse accommodations than Disney resorts.

What does that have to do with anything?

 

[0FF TO NEVERLAND]

The NBA is getting more information then the people who actually keep the park alive over the years

 

[DGsAtBLT]

So we have a 1305 page thread that has been largely full of people complaining about impacts of a pandemic on their expensive vacations and now people are now upset NBA players (and media) are out of touch and complaining about their situation instead of just being grateful.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

They’re gonna have to suck it up as there just aren’t enough hotels for that and resist the urge to discuss strategy out in the hotel lobby.

There’s gonna be so much drama at their hotel/s I almost wish they were making a reality tv show on it

If they do bring their families there could totally be a "Real House Wives of Gran Destino"

At the end of the day the NBA will get whatever hotels they want out of what Disney is willing to sell them. In the meantime we wait.

(And can we consider not comparing the situation to folks on military deployment anymore? Please.)

 

[Krandor]

Uh, what? Exactly how is that going to work??

They would basically come in go to press box, watch the game, and leave. No interaction with players, no going to the locker room, hotel, etc. Likely even come and go through a separatee entrance in the building. If they have no contact with the players directly then it isn't breaking the bubble.

Glad I am not the only one scratching my head.
