Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[AmberMV]

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.

It's pretty clear we are willing to debate absolutely anything and since Disney has been pretty silent for a week we are grasping at straws

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

That has absolutely zero to do with the current topic.

When exactly is the NBA there? I've been trying to find info since I have a trip to Coronada Springs in October.

I miss the days when we were just debating straws

The latest they could possibly have a game is Oct 12. That doesn't mean though they'll all be leaving on Oct 13th though but likely around that time

Neither does the NBA in general as the title of this thread is rumors of the operation of the theme parks and cruise line, which the NBA doesnt affect. Yet here we are

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.

I was referring to the "not being allowed on the Disney/ESPN campus". Do they not know the games (they'll be allowed to watch in person) are actually ON the ESPN campus? LOL

It’s really a shame that paper straws don’t somehow carry a higher risk during this pandemic than plastic. Go away!

And A/C in the flaming death traps, boarding groups, room checks, and pets. Miss those days.

As of right now, their last possible game will be October 12th.

I'd rather be with my family for those two months, but that's just me.

Me too, but I purposely chose a career that allows me to be with my family most of the time. I, do however, get paid a lot less.

 

[Krandor]

Ah yeah. poorly worded. Probably should have said "not allowed on areas of the disney/ESPN campus being utilized by the players such as locker rooms, courtside, player hotels" or just "not allowed to have any direct interacton with the players"

 

[Mit88]

You are right, both chose their profession. Journalists chose one that isn't supposed to require them to be away from their families for 3.5 months.

Also, a choice not to go might also be a choice to be fired.

At least they get to make that decision themselves. Many people over the last 3 months havent had that option.

So if you are rich you are not allowed to complain about anything? Got it.

Nah, the great PB&J crime debate still remains my favorite.

But ARE YOU a true criminal if you creatively make a sandwich... that is the ultimate Disboards question

...when soon is sure is giving it a run for its money though!

slight tangent (from the tangent) - but La Cava at the Mexico Pavilion has straws made out of agave strands and they are soooooo much better than the paper ones

Its not about rich or poor, its about doing a job thats asked of you by your superiors. You think the media outlets are jumping for joy that they have to pay for their writers and staff to go stay at Disney for 3 months rather than to have had them continue business as usual these last 3 months? The NY Post has had to pay their Yankees beat writers write up articles explaining who the best Yankees of all time are because theres nothing else going on and they need to fill content. This is not an ideal situation for anyone. So playing the Whoa is me because I have to work is ridiculous

We postponed Disney indefinitely, and extended what was a bookend to start the trip to a week at Universal in August.

We did pretty much the same thing for August. We're AP holders so we'll try to get a day or 2 at Disney while we're there, but if we can't we'll just take advantage of everything else there is available in the area.

I don't blame Disney - I think they're doing their best given the situation - but "going to Disney" with so many limitations and restrictions is just depressing.

I think you are reading way too much into it.
