Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Remy is Up]

Let me rephrase, I don't think any of us think disney are go against local & state governments to open their parks.

They will absolutely work with the officials in Anaheim & Orlando to make the best decisions. But I think this is going to happen sooner than end of Summer.

I'll take odds on it opening prior to July at the earliest.

July works for me because I have a trip planned the 23-28th

Yea. Not Disney parks. They can go bring back Robert Downey Jr and make a bunch more avenger movies if they need more money. On top of that, they can start charging more, charge for magical express, charge for fast passes, add more beer to the MK...

Opening soon to make money is not smart.

I didn't say that Disney Parks are going to open in the next 30 days.

Disney doesn't control local government or state government safety standards. Their business will have no bearing on public safety. Nor do they want the appearance of that in the case things open up too soon and there is a second wave and then how do you think people will respond? They will be very careful with this. And at the moment, July or August appears to be the window.

Like I said, $$ talks & I am certain Disney & Universal contribute to local campaigns as happens in most states with most big businesses. In reality, big business runs this country not the government. Disney won’t open prematurely if it will cause a PR problem. But, I am certain Disney & other major corporations will have some “input” as to when things are allowed to open.

You may be right on the edge. I'm still leaning mid July opening as long as things in Florida keep going the direction they are.

To those who think Disney financial influence wouldn’t matter. Consider the WWE, who is being allowed to produce new live wrestling shows in Orange County while pretty much all live entertainment nationwide is shutdown. Consider the close contact and the fact that a WWE tv personality tested positive this week. Money talks.

And the scientific projections and health and welfare of people will have a larger "input"

Park still closed, has been since March 9/20 - no reopening date as of today.

New health screening as of today

The goal can’t be to have zero risk. That is unobtainable. The goal is to create a situation where it doesn’t create more stress on the healthcare system than a bad flu season. We aren’t that far away from being able to start opening stuff and not surpassing that point.

 

[LSUmiss]

Business can WANT all they want. But if there is any relaxing of restrictions and the second breakout begins. Who will we blame then? The businesses, the politicians, or those who keep.pushing for it when the scientific community has said any reopening in may will cause a secondary wave or spike and create more death. Who is going to explain that to the loved ones of those who die? Who is accountable? Life is more important than business and a lot of people still don't get the gravity of this situation and how it progresses, how the virus morphs, reactivated, etc. You are putting business before life so you can go to a park. I'm glad management at Disney doesn't see it that way.

I’m not sure Disney doesn’t see it that way. The issues is no one wants the liability or PR nightmare of opening too soon. But whenever it is deemed acceptable to open, they will.

They are risking their employees. They are not allowing fans or the public. BIG difference. And they are getting killed for it by even their own employees,many of which are refusing to be part of it. Yep. Money talks.

The scientific projections say zero deaths nationwide in the last week of June.

Call me crazy, but I'd love if the US implemented something like this

Disney does see it that way. They have an army of risk assessment people. People who are careful and conservative. They won't take undue risks and will.listen to the scientific projections as well as what health officials advise them.

So add 4-6 weeks to that. Hence why the current window of mid July to August is sensible.

No thank you, and I know a lot that would not go for it either.

Only for a certain amount of time. Society & companies will grow weary with it all. It’s getting there now already. Like another poster said, we can’t wait til the risk is 0.

Right which is basically what I’m saying. It’s not b/c they care about life over $$. I think it’s quite the opposite if they could get away with it. But it would be a liability & PR nightmare if they opened too early.

Why would add four to six weeks to that? You are never going to have zero risk.

And we won't. Things will start to cycle around in some forms for large gatherings mid july/August. Things will work backwards in phases. Large gatherings or places where they happen will be the last to open up
