Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[mhautz]

No. In this scenario they would move you to AOA or Pop. If somehow those weren’t available you would be upgraded to a mod probably. There is NO way of Disney is open they would cancel anybody willing to go if the all stars weren’t open. They could consolidate everyone into one All Star though probably movies because all the renos are done there.

Have a Music family suite reserved for July. I have no problem getting exactly what we paid for, but I wouldn't turn down an upgrade to an AOA suite (we had one reserved for May with a passholder discount, but that was our upper limit in cost, and there is no AP discount right now in mid-July.)

Me too. I'll let you guys know, giddy flight is at 1:20, I'm assuming people for work or family of someone living here

Regarding who is flying.... my sister had a co worker who had to fly in order to say goodbye to her dying mother.

Stay safe!!!! What an interesting job!!!! Grill the nurses. Nurses ALWAYS have all the good information!

Good news update, things are still trending down around the world, as expected, hoping it continues. All good news for Disney opening sooner this year than later. Study coming out of China that show that outdoor spread/infection is very rare, not peer reviewed, not a fact yet though, so who knows but that would be great news. If that comes to be evident Disney parks will be open by July, hoping so.

MMA and WWE doing events in early may. PGA golf tournament in June

In my opinion still thinking mid May Disney Springs, resorts June and then parks July.

Obi-Wan once thought as you do...

I've been sort of optimistic especially away from the "doom and gloomers". I initially predicted MDW (that's out now for sure). But there are articles from popular websites indicating that we will be in this mess until 2022. It's echoed by the Florida Surgeon General, "no mass crowds until vaccine".

I really hope we find a good middle ground on at least trying to kick start things again when our line flattens. Worst case scenario, we have to hop back into a lockdown again.

But circling back to Disney:

I probably won't return to DW until the threat is of this virus is near null. That's my reality. When I return, it will be with family members who are in their middle 70's. I just hope Disney can weather the storm. Getting nervous about their revenue stream (it's all dried up except for Disney+). Really, it should be low on my list of worries, but I admit it's a passion for many of us and I hope to live it again.

Again we have to be careful about taking these remarks as set in stone.

They can change at anytime. Also, when this all first started GOV of California excluded Disney from the order that pertained to large crowds.

FL and CA governors for that matter, CAN exclude Disney from any orders that are in place.

I'm responding more to the people thinking June is possible. Still on July window but moving quickly to august

They can do whatever they want. But they SHOULD be listening to their own health experts.

According to some new reports I won’t discuss because of the rules of the board... yea, not out of the question.

I am sure they will take all their recommendations and make a decision. In the end it will be the Governors of the states call.

According to the NYT, Disney is losing $30 million or more each day it's parks are shut down.

How long do you realistically think this can go on before the company goes into financial trouble? 2022, you'll have bankruptcy.

Disneyworld will not re open in May. Even June would be iffy. Once furloughed workers are invited back Disney is going to have train and retrain for the new systems in place. Also, they have to stock restaurants and even with talks of re opening businesses they exclude bars and dine in restaurants. How will that fair? I would not count on the parks re opening until at least mid June. Theres just too much to prepare for. We may even be looking at July or August. I know people are anxious but we have to do what is wise so we don't re infect with a new mutated version of this virus.

 

[jerry557]

If we listen to only doctors and health experts, NOTHING would reopen until we have a vaccine or there is zero threat from the virus to public health. In which case it could be years locked down. That is probably the safest thing to do, but it's not economically possible. Somewhere there is going to have to be a balance and compromise.

They SHOULD be listening to their health experts AND all of their other experts.

No. Its still this summer just moving payer as windows close. No reason mid July isn't feasible at this point and that's what is being worked towards

They are very much listening to them and its not going to be years. Its mid summer currently but is moving towards late summer

We are in the July window currently. August is becoming a possibility based on what health advisors and orange county advise.

That's the point. They will continue to push the date back further and further. We will be talking about fall pretty soon.

So what the Florida surgeon general opines means nothing for Disney?

Well you just answered your own question, it is his OPINION.

99% of this thread is OPINION.

But do you think that balance and compromise includes opening large, crowded, entertainment venues like disney parks?
