Here is a rumor that seems relevant. It seems that the NBA wasn’t quite ready to finish their season at ESPN Wide World of Sports, but now the MLS is considering it.

MLS has proposed placing all 26 teams in the Orlando area this summer and playing competitive matches without spectators at the Disney sports complex and possibly other locations, multiple people familiar with the plan said.

Players, coaches and support staff, numbering more than 1,000, would live under quarantine at one of the large resorts near Walt Disney World for an undetermined length of time, said those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter.

Having done the disney full marathon I can attest there are PLENTY of soccer fields to use in WWoS complex. Every turn was another freaking field... lol.

Interesting read.

With the existing broadcast partnership between MLS & ESPN .. this actually makes more sense then the NBA in relevance to WDW

I noticed that the article said that players etc. would stay “near disney”. Not at disney...

Disney probably wanted broadcasting rights for ESPN/ABC to the remaining games, in exchange for use of their facilities. But with Turner and regional sports networks having contracts with the NBA, that just wouldn’t work
 
I've missed several pages. An announcement tomorrow for DL or WDW?
No 😂. Sorry. Discussing the LA health official who said they’re going to shelter in place for 3 more months. I’ve lived in CA long enough I want to see it official first lol. They said they should have an update at their weekly press conference tomorrow.

I could see things that make this more and less realistic than the NBA. For starters the players have way less clout in MLS and the players union will be easier to deal with than the NBA players. On the other side, most MLS clubs don’t actually make money, and the money they do make comes from game day sales. They’d be forgoing all the revenue but taking on whatever increases travel training costs there were unless the League stepped up with those costs. MLS also really relies on strong local fan base and you lose that when they are out of state- that said maybe everyone is so bored their typical viewership would go up by default. As opposed to the NBA who has high viewership and some teams have national fans.

Yeah it varies by franchise. I'm in atlanta and our team has HUGE local support in probably the best stadium in MLS. We would be a loser by moving to a place like Orlando to play.

*especially* Orlando.

(Sorry, couldn’t resist taking a jab at Orlando...we’re huge ATL UTD fans)

I am too and I agree. The atmosphere at home ATL UTD games is just amazing.

That is what is lost in this games without fans for any sport and while money wise it may not be a huge difference the atmosphere does matter a lot at games (Sometimes for good and bad).

I'll bet that would have been one nice upgrade.
 
That is the language all the lawyers are advising their clients to use. We got something nearly identical from our lawyers about opening our amenities in the HOA. More extremely obvious advice such as that posted on my iron: "Do not iron clothes while you are wearing them."

HOA type pools are the ones likely to be an issue. Most don't have lifeguards or anybody to periodically clean things or anybody to limit how many people come in.

The lifeguard thing is interesting. . . . We always have lifeguards at our pool- at least two if not three at any given time- but we were told there is a lifeguard shortage this year because the typical time they use to train new lifeguards in in April and no one could train this year. I wonder if Disney could have a similar issue. I assume they train in-house. I don't know if the lifeguard shortage is just local or if that is going to be typical in a lot of places.

I was referring to the language at Universal about how people should assess their own risk and how Universal could not guarantee a virus-free environment. That is the language that lawyers are giving their clients, regardless of the businesses they are running. It is funny to me that we have to provide written notice to people that we can't guarantee they won't catch a virus. That should be as obvious as Spaceship Earth from the Epcot turnstiles.
 
Could be but if it is not in the T&C you can still get sued. Bad contracts and T&Cs can cause issues. (For an example check out the David's thread in DVC forums)
Sorry for being out of the loop on this but is the consensus that renters are out of luck because of the T&Cs or that the broker may be in trouble because the T&Cs don't address resort closures?

IMO (and not wanting to start a DVC debate here) broker is in trouble. Renters can (and IMO should) chargeback to their CC company - no guarantee they will win but I think many will. Owners have no obligation to return the money they have already been paid.

Broker at this point is offering renters simply a voucher with terms that really favor the broker and to accept the voucher they have to agree to basically a new contract.

Short version - it's a complete mess.

I know a number of renters have already contacted lawyers so that is a REAL mess...
