A friend of mine just called to check on this (Wyndham Lake Buena Vista) and the person at the front desk told her that is not the case - and that it's just a rumor. Maybe at another Wyndham property though?

Sorry I should have been more specific. Wyndham Bonnet Creek (the time share).

Y'all need to start watching the spikes in cases. Apparently Florida is starting to go south (well it's already south so to speak). Disney opening in July? Either they will open regardless of this or they will not re-open and stay closed a very long time. You won't see a cruise from American shores for a while too. It's all depressing. It all sucks. We are watching history happen. This is the rumors board after all.

Always going to be spikes as you open more. That’s naturally going to happen. It’s going to happen forever if there is no vaccine. So it’s either everyone stay home forever, or just try and be smart and as safe as you can out there.

I’m sure whoever goes on a Disney cruise knows the risks of being on it, and I’m sure that won’t stop those people. They won’t stay off the ships forever. To each their own if you wanna do it

The spikes are overwhelmingly in Miami-Dade, as well.

I assume they added A/C to the cabins during the closure to help with all the people wearing masks right?

They must be running into problems with international travel.. they’ve been posting these two countries since the beginning of April.

same! we are booking the lodge - indoor water park will be open too - along with the outdoor water areas and mini golf.

how about 2-4am since they're doing 24 hours now (at the quiet pools) lol

And the quiet pools are nice and warm too !!
Although at 2-4am there might be less kids in the pool
They will all be in bed already
(The resort rooms still have beds, right ?)

and they're still in phase 1 of opening.

Yes, the Rivera is quite lovely. It was the main reason we even planned a trip in March. That really doesn’t matter. Dollar for dollar, it’s a downgrade. And I wouldn’t get the view, I was given a standard view. I’d most likely be looking at a parking lot.

Yes but it's a posh parking lot. Fancy-shmancy, $25 a night per car parking lot. Only the finest views at Disney.

Each bed within guest rooms will now be wrapped in a single use plastic bag.

We just drove past them and they’re on the Epcot line. However, Disney maintenance has confirmed they’re on the line to do maintenance at the shop area where they were all parked. Keeping my fingers crossed that they don’t take them offline again. We noticed about 30-40 buses are missing from the MK parking lot hopefully in preparation of reopening.

I’ve been tracking the top 15 states and a few control states in a spread sheet. Idk why, I’m a nerd and like to see data in ways most sites don’t present it and just playing with excel. I was tracking individual Florida counties for a while but that was too much work with no real info other that the obvious that Miami is by far the worst.

I’ll be interested to see what it looks like in a month as it gives us time to catch up on more states opening up, protests, theme parks, ect. But for now, the spikes are all directly correlated to the increase in testing. % positive either remains the same or is going down. In same states it’s down a crazy amount like NY and NJ. States that weren’t hit as hard at first are the ones remaining flat as I believe they are just “catching up.” I think at the end we’ll see most states % of the population affected about the same, just getting there in very different ways.

Im impressed you noticed the missing buses. I’ve driven by a couple of times trying to get a count just for my own curiosity but haven’t even come up with a good estimate. I guessed somewhere around 300. Is this all the buses or are some parked elsewhere?

Check out IL. We're down to like 2.4% today! Just 10 days ago we were still around 10%!

Nobody has asked the important question.

Does the 2 hour pool time limit apply to the pool bar?

The spikes do concern me but the positivity rate is staying constant. On the news last night it mentioned the prevalent age group who is now testing positive is 20-40 years old. This could be from Memorial Day gatherings and other such group events. Once more people are out and about it will spike, hopefully just temporarily and then go back down again. Masks are strongly encouraged in the Orange County area at all times when interacting with others.

Are masks required while riding? ::ducks::

My son is the bus nerd. You could see lots of empty spots. They’re also at the TTC parking lot and at Speedway where they refuel. He thinks there are around 400 buses but it’s just a guess.
