Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I thought this article about Players reactions to the MLS room service menu and cost was hilarious. I’d be upset at those prices too!

Looks like they are living in luxury at Swan/Dolphin:

Here's my question what would stop Disney from opening WDW at this point? This week's news is pretty much as bad as it can be. The curves and trends are all exactly the opposite of what you want/anyone planned on for July. Looks to be worse come opening.

Realistic answer,

Governor of Florida shutting the state down again, or mayor of Orange County shutting the county down.

Both of which have a very low chance.

I don’t know if it was posted here, but Swan and Dolphin have a 30% off deal for APs.

OMGosh! When I first read this I thought they were offering WDW AP's for 30% off. Then I came back to reality and realized it was 30% off rooms.
Would be nice if they had 30% off parking and 30% off resort fees. That would be a deal!

A Category 5 Hurricane laced with COVID hitting Central Florida

Ah, the dreaded covi-cane

So while the virus itself might be stopping people from going somewhere, I am not 100 percent sure the virus itself is the reason, just the precautions and closures

I still believe if a Disney cruise ship left tomorrow, it would be full...

Despite my many complaints with all the things Disney has done with AP's and reservation changes, without question, it is the current numbers in FL, and specifically Orange county that is stopping us from going to the AP preview. We wouldn't have done the trip we originally planned of 2 weeks with all the bells and whistles (mostly because the bells and whistles aren't there) but we would've definitely done a shortened stay had FL not spiked no severely. I would've loved to have been there for the opening, but not with things the way they are now.

Someone should tell them how much the food and beverage costs fans at a NYCFC game...

I’m just imagining all the MLS players grumbling on a similar thread about how the NBA players are going to be treated better, they get SAB, etc.

Well, I'm slowly letting go of the dream. We are down to 1 room with 3 people for late July instead of the 3 rooms with 7 people we originally had for May, then June and then July. Now I'm holding my breath to see what happens to the park reservations from the room I cancelled tonight. I moved our daughter to our room and cancelled our son. Fingers crossed her park reservations stay and his drop off like they should.

WOW I laughed I did not expect that at all.

The MLS players are the reason Disney put the fence up around the Yacht Club. They’d get too tempted to sneak into SAB. Thats not for you, peasants. Back to Swan and Dolphin with your broken bath faucets.

The MLS players peaking over the fence will be an amazing recreation of the California Adventure opening poster or commercial when all the Disneyland characters were peaking over the fence to see inside CA

Hilarious.

It's Memorial Day weekend and Amity Beach is open!

HILARIOUS LOL!!

If they were seriously entertaining the idea of delaying, it would have came last week before reservations opened up. Disney read the tea leaves. They knew what was coming. But the train wasn’t stopping.

Imo the only thing would be if the government says they can’t.

 

[LSUmiss]

What do you mean?

Oops. Supposed to say I thought they weren’t opening b/c of MLS?

 

[JayMass]

Not convinced. I still feel like they could pull the plug on re-opening. The numbers coming out of Florida are so bad, I'm not sure Disney can reasonably re-open in 10 days. But this is all conjecture and feeling--nothing real to back to it up.

Right the promo starts July 29. I don’t know when MLS is done.

Right?? I thought there was going to be a slow pathetic trickle coming from the shower head above.

That was not that

It's not 10 days its now 5 days. Previews start the 7th.

I just think its too late now to pull the plug.
