Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

Since no character meets, what does this do for character dining?

Great question that we don't know the answer to - I'd like to know as well. Not paying Crystal Palace prices without Winnie the Pooh characters, for example.

Now comes the fun part. AP announcements! DVC ! Transportation issue/announcements! Pricing concerns! And what did he mean by crowd control who knows so much still up in the air

Disney stock is up a a few cents. I don’t see how after that.

I expect an initial jump then some sort of fall off when people realize what limited capacity and limited experiences means.

From the creators of the MDE app and hosted on the same server as our website during the May 4th Star Wars merch, Walt Disney World Resort brings you: The Reservation System.

And now that a reopening date(s) are released, I am waiting for that phone call from Disney about our AP partial refund confirmation.

I wonder if they don’t consider all 4 parks open as the start date for APs again. There is going to be a lot missing from the parks and a lot of restrictions.

I can’t remember which thread but someone said Shanghai is basically letting their APs in “free” right now and the clock hasn’t started back up yet.

It seems from some comments here that thought Disney would open its parks without masks and with fireworks and parades. That was never going to happen.

 

[SaintsManiac]

Lord they cannot win. I'm so glad they did this on their terms. Off to take my victory lap now...

They have plenty of time now to get all that information out.

i imagine they’ll treat it like any other table service

 

[Pyotr]

This is going to be an awful experience when you consider the cost.

This is absolutely correct!

Can anyone help out with a link to watch that for us non-Floridians?

 

[FCDub]

I won't

Great. There is a pandemic that's killed 100,000 people in this country in a few months. Stuff's not going to go back to normal immediately.

on CNBC which is on most major cable systems nationwide. Not a florida only thing

The WDW presentation is over. Now OC is presenting about the health inspections they did at Seaworld and WDW. Q&A will come after that. Most likely we've gotten all the info we'll get at this point and won't get much more definite info until closer to July 11 (whether that's a week from now, a month from now, or July 10 lol)

How can they not comment (unless I missed it) about report openings -?

 

[J-BOY]

Disney stock is up a a few cents. I don’t see how after that.

Because they announced an opening date, and Disney will continue making money. A lot more than they currently are. The stock market doesn't care about feelings, only money.

 

[Krandor]

The task force does't have to approve those. Task force only has to approve parks.

 

[CAQDaddy]

maybe, maybe not. Regardless, im glad Disney didn’t cave into public or political pressure.

But maybe they actually did cave in to public and political pressure.

Resorts operations are not a required part of these presentations.

 

[courtney1188]

How can they not comment (unless I missed it) about report openings -?

Because the presentation was just on the actual parks - the task force doesn't need to vote on what happens with hotels, so it's not part of the presentation.
