Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[SwirlTheCitrus]

There was no meeting on Monday for the holiday, so they moved Wednesday to Tuesday just for this week.

I thought that this was a press conference?

Unprecedented

...We’ll be wasted by 5pm

This could be a very dagerous drinking game.....

I believe that was a WDWMagic forum post as well.

It was. I made as clear as I possibly could that it was very much a rumor.

Wait I'm confused, where did this Disney-announcing-on-Friday rumor start from?

It was copied from wdw magic which seems to be a hotbed for rumors.

For a governor that was super conservative in their reopening approach not even a month ago, Newsom seems to have turned a complete 180 on his stance. This time last month it wouldnt be unreasonable to think Disneyland wouldnt open up the rest of the year. Now they could potentially open up before WDW

Not for debate - but the "what we know" about COVID-19 has changed greatly in the last month. In other words - we have gotten enough science to realize that lockdowns are less effective than targeted interventions and well the M words.

I found that odd too. I mean, he really is doing an about face with his reopening phases...

DL is a smaller operation, so likely it could open with WDW just as it closed with it.

or maybe the data supports Newsom’s change in pace.

Yes the states finances are dictating these moves at this point. Hence the recent 180 on opening things back up.

What is EOB?

End of Business (day)

So, just to recap, we think:

• Meeting later today and Friday are general COVID-19 updates
• Meeting tomorrow morning is the Task Force, where Disney might possibly present.

Yes?

I wonder if the California about face has to do with numbers out of New York. I'm not trying to be New York centric, but being that the epicenter of the pandemic in the US is having a sharp downward turn in the numbers this past week might have something going for it.

Yup this should be the case as far as im aware

I'd put them up against any other amusement park in the country as the worst there is. Their plans sound good, they aren't going to actually do them. You'd have to live here to know just how bad they are.

I completely agree - Frontier City is the absolute worst. From where I live in Texas, it's about a three hour drive. My family and I took a weekend trip there a couple years ago. OMG - NEVER AGAIN.

 

[TakesFaithTrust&PixieDust]

WDW and Sea World will present plans tomorrow. Both parks were inspected today.

 

[cwaltjen]

The OC mayor just reported that Disney will be presenting tomorrow.
