Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[rteetz]

I would imagine there is a "team" working on this. Lawyers, financial advisers, medical advisers, Chapek, Iger, the board etc.....

Essentially what I just said. This isn’t a one person decision.

Would love to be a fly on that wall lol

I would certainly hope you wouldn't really change airports to avoid a MANDATORY quarantine entering our state. There is a reason it has been set, how about respect it If it were the other way around, I would.

As I said, I'm from Massachusetts. There is no restriction on my state.

At this point you gotta wonder what the hold up is with this announcement. It’s going to happen. Just put us out of our misery already.

 

[Thecouch]

I'm wondering the wait is because instead of just doing 2 weeks at a time there going to pick a date way in the future like June or July. Then set schedules for staff to clean up and maintenance

On hold with them currently, and so far everyone I've been passed around to seems almost surprised when I mention the stay at home order for Orange and Osceola Counties.

 

[Matthew Shannon]

Southwest just sent an email for TFGreen till May 14. From Cape Cod,. So I'll push things a bit. I changed my reservation to 8/30. Last day of current offer. Although I imagine another offer should hit post crisis.

If they've been working since before it was announced and didn't check the news while on a break/lunch, they wouldn't know.

i am guessing phone CMs are not in the Florida area as usual

My dates are May 16-24, so at least I'd avoid that if I do need to change from BDL to PVD. Or there's always BOS. Of course, this is assuming WDW is even open at that point, so it could very well all be moot. I've also booked a week at Pop in August in case.

I can feel your pain im the 16-23. I’m expecting the worst, especially since I got really good fast passes. So it definitely feels too good to be true

 

[mshanson3121]

Well what's your definition of couple of months? Into May absolutely i see that happening. Past June or July? I see no chance of that. They will be open by then.

Well couple means 2 so..... Which yes, would extend into May. Though I don't think into June is out of the question either. The slower Americans are to react/comply, the longer it will take to hit the peak. So, the more they drag their feet, the longer shuts downs will last.

I agree. And like they said in the DIS UNPLUGGED video today I really think we see a phased opening with maybe certain things opening in May, then some in June, and so on...

 

[Remy is Up]

I heard info regarding CMs being released from someone with firsthand knowledge.

Funny noone else has heard that. Even those with"first hand" knowldege that I am in contact with. Reality first hand knowledge means upper management and they arent telling anyone outside the circle anything. It's a violation of their contract.

Same dates, May 16-23. 11 of us, me/wife, 3 adult kids with spouses or sig-o's, and 3 grandkids. Two of my kids are on active duty and will be deploying later this year. We threaded the needle to find these dates and there's no way we can reschedule for at least another year, and with military members who ever really knows. End of the world? Of course not and omigosh others have far worse problems. But, if the place opens we're going. We. Are. Going. I pity the virus that gets between my wife and her grandkids.

 

[Tandy]

Who gets to make the call about staying shut or opening, Iger or Chapek?

I imagine Mickey sitting at a desk crunching numbers with a bottle of whiskey

 

[TropicalDIS]

Universal doesn't have 25+ resorts and 4 parks to cancel reservations and tickets..etc. It will take a little bit longer to get their plan together.

As has been said, Disney reacted first in the original announcement. How much longer can you wait? We are talking a week out here.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

I just got push notifications from both the Disneyland and Disney World My Disney Experience apps.

A notification about updated closures? NO.

Learn to Draw Mickey Mouse!

At this point I'm assuming it will be a Friday afternoon news dump. Give the market a weekend to digest the news.

This crisis will make "really good fastpasses" quite easy to come by. I wouldn't sweat losing them.
