Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

implying to me that they’d put Pop Warner under a bubble as well.

Disney dropping talks to Pop Warner to concentrate their efforts on the MLS & NBA bubbles last year does not in any way imply the creation of more bubbles in the future. The OP merely stated that they didn't know why Disney working on those MLS & MBA bubbles last year meant they couldn't also work on renewing the Pop Warner contract in the meantime.

My guess is that in the current environment disney couldn't give them assurances about things that they wanted assurances on and didn't want to promise things they didn't know for sure they could deliver.

An entire extra month? Yeep!

What I don’t understand is how they can be so off in their prediction of when it’ll be done. Seems odd for wdw.

Canadians won't be traveling outside of country til most likely April. All flights to Caribbean countries have stopped starting Sunday. Anyone flying into Canada have to have to be tested and while waiting for results will have to stay a quarantine hotel at their expense. It will cost you $2000.

It will be even longer before Canadians can get back to Disney.

Unpopular opinion on a travel related forum - this is great news and long overdue. Our vaccine situation in Canada leaves a lot to be desired right now and things can get crazy bad if we see large outbreaks of more infectious strains. We are not anticipating the same return to normal timeline as the US.

Disney (and other destinations) can wait and will be all the more amazing when we can finally return.

Not sure when they turned the spray back on at Flight of Passage but it was on this morning.

I got a face full of spray in december, I guess it's either all or nothing with that ride

Exactly. And also, MLS and NBA were super controlled environments. No spectators, then just families toward the end. The bubble. Testing. The control & management made Disney look good.

Disney isn’t hosting any big conferences or huge events yet. I’m not really surprised they let Pop Warner drift elsewhere. The cheerleaders and players are largely unsupervised when at WDW. They may not want that and the issues that come along with it at the resorts and on the WWOS property right now. Pop Warner could make Disney look bad. While I’m sure they’re not thrilled to lose the contract, Pop Warner might have caused them more trouble this year than they wanted.

Rumor about paid fast pass for offsite guests. Would Disney take that leap right now with covid?

It feels arbitrary now. Like just throwing another month at it in hopes it's enough time. Behind the scenes must be wild for this fix.

Seems like he is just speculating as usual. It’s a valid theory, though.

Yea after I read through it I don’t see where he actually got the rumor from. Just speculation. But it does make a bit of sense.

That's one way to do it, should they.

Okay fun!

So say this happens - if they are offering something like a pay for express-pass and on-site still gets a measly 3 a day, that's not exactly a benefit! I'd want to buy the express pass for a couple park days, but not all.

If they are offering on-site 3 free, then pay for more and the off-site pay for all - then that becomes more of a perk!

Agree I can absolutely this.

If they are going to sell fast passes to off site guest and give them free to on site guests they will both have to have the same booking window. Nobody is going to buy a fast pass when you won't be able to book anything good. So while you may not be paying for the fast pass if you are on site, it would be a diminished perk as you have to compete with everyone staying off site to get the best rides.

I think they can keep booking windows same as previously by charging everyone for fast passes but throwing some free ones to resort guests

 

[Farro]

And if they ever did something like this, I think it would be more of a package thing, pay this much, get this many fast passes. And resorts get the basic package free, but pay to upgrade.
