We need some news on this news and rumors thread before we all lose it.

Too early on a friday. Check back around 6pm for the friday bad news dump

Guest services just told me that tickets will be on sale 6/28 for everyone. We are dropping our room + tickets package but she said it was okay because we’d be able to buy tickets on 6/28.

Thank you for sharing. So this means we should be able to add a day to our package on 6/28 then, right?

Does anyone live or have family in Florida? Its weird because no matter who I talk to down there, they are not phased by the cases. They were happy everything was opened and are still doing their thing. And these are older people. I think because majority of the places in florida are not dense at all, so they feel safer?

EDIT: They are wearing masks of course in public

Northwest Florida here..the Emerald coast aka" the Redneck Riviera" kinda dense along the coast.
We shut down like other places and then opened up for short term rentals just before Memorial day and then a couple weeks later bars and restaurants... and the crowd went wild, since then we went from 1,2,3,4 cases a day to 5,10,15,20, and now 40+ the last 2 days just in my county ..1 of 5, 100+ last couple days in all.
We're a large military area with about 6 large bases too with a lot of retirees, so I see a lot more masks than not the few times I go out. But not at the beach area's from what I hear...

While people seemed to think the bucket meant availability wouldn’t be sucked up by the resort guests before APs had a chance to book, in reality it seems like it’s there to control the number of APs in the park so people who are staying with Disney have near guaranteed access.

Great from the perspective of Disney making sure people traveling can visit parks, really sucky if you’re local.

Which I would still be ok with, albeit disappointed, if they just weren’t starting the clock on APs. Once July is over (my wife is a teacher) we won’t even be able to go after work because the hours are so short, and weekends are already booking up in August.

I do want people coming on vacation to get in over me. But it seems like there could be a better compromise given the abundance of availability for them and the lack of it for us. Right now I essentially can only visit 3 times over the first 2 months of opening. I do remain optimistic they will have day of availability from resort guests spots not filled.

They really really should not have started it. Admittedly I’m surprised they did given that they did not in Shanghai during the “reservation period”. Maybe because at WDW the reservation period does not appear to be all that temporary.

Listening to the govener. I find it weird that so many younger people are getting it, and it's not spreading to the older folks in Florida, considering the disaster in NYC with the nursing homes, and how many older people there are in Florida.. I hope it stays mostly mild symptoms and the hospitals don't get huge rising rates. I support all the states in trouble now. We need to support and hope for the best. We want them to succeed.

It gets pretty dark and chaotic in here when we go more than like 12 hours without actual Disney news.

The problem is the moer younger peope that get it the greater the chance of high risk people getting it at a store or somewhere.

The governor certainly doesn't sound at all concerned...

You can't keep people in panic mode forever. People took it seriously a few weeks back in March and April. But now no one saw the piles of dead bodies that the media promised that we would see. And so even fewer people now are buying into the fear.

This. Add that to the idea that the cdc says positive cases are even greater than we have confirmed & it makes the virus more common & less deadly.

He really doesn’t.

Did he say it was a data dump regarding today’s numbers? My audio is terrible.

The cruise industry is dead. Carnival has already started selling some ships for scrap for pennies on the dollar. Pullmantur is out of business. More will follow.

I’m not sure where you got they are selling ships for scraps. The banks that hold the notes on them would never let that happen.

Carnival is offloading 6 ships but are still taking delivery of 4 brand new ships in the next 12 months.

He doesn't care. He already got his disney park reservations booked.

Of course he doesn't. That wouldn't help promote his narrative. Fortunately, I can look at the facts and listen to experts who actually know what they're talking about and don't have any agenda other than to keep people safe- and they are very concerned. Even before today, the numbers were terrible and data dump or no data dump, the percentage of positives is increasing. He can dance around it all he wants and maybe he'll convince a few that really want to believe what they like rather than what is true.

Not a data dump necessarily just an increase in testing.

Even the medical professionals have a similar tone. "masks, masks, masks and socially distant"

I hope he opens it up to Q & A. That's when I start to hone in.

I like him. Always have. Are the people surrounding him and giving him details not experts? This doctor speaking right now is saying the same as him. They obviously all support him.

There is no agenda when it comes to a virus. It's keeping people safe, and giving them the messages, without scaring the hell out of people. Stay safe, and listen to the things you need to do to stay safe

"Bars" in Florida have been defined throughout this pandemic as any location that derives more 50% of their revenue from alcohol sales. There are a number of locations -- including some DS bars, pool bars, and F&W booths -- that would likely fall under that classification.

Yes, but when this happened before, bars still served to go drinks. So, couldn’t F&W and pool bars still operate as long as they don’t allow you to congregate and sit at the bar to drink?
