Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[jlwhitney]

They can't open all of these things at once. I know a lot of people have their own agenda on what should be open and why. They can't jump to gatherings of over 50 right away. Maybe come summer they will open it up to more as long as cases stay low.

Many of those places I listed the 50 wouldn't be as much of an issue but its the keeping 6ft apart that is.

It is the readout from the Presidential advisement to the Governors on reopening the country, it will be announced in 10 -15 minutes from the WH

Actually 6pm eastern time

Just a reminder political posts are not allowed. Posting a piece of news is one thing, discussing the source, whether the president is right or not and anything else like that will not be allowed.

For those wondering about traveling from state to state.

"non-essential travel can begin again in Phase 2"

What does that mean for people like me who live in a hotspot like NY?

ah yes you are correct

Depends on what you governor does, and he said today until may 15th for the time being until phase 1 can start

I am thinking like school sporting arenas and smaller ones they might mean.

Oh ok, I need the local bar to open up soon lol.

I can see keeping NYC and the surrounding area closed till May 15; but I don’t understand why other parts of New York State can’t open up sooner?

June 1st will be at the earliest unless they call themselves a restaurant, which i imagine a lot of them will try to pivot to in May

If you do DVC points don't use a broker right now. They are in a mess of trouble right now sorting through the current closures. If doing it, I'd try to work directly with an owner.... and make sure there is a clause in the contract for what happens if resorts are closed (which many brokers did not have which is why they are a mess right now)

Great advice, thank you! Any idea how far in advance I should book with an owner? Just wondering if it’s something I should figure out ASAP or if I can wait until we get a little closer to my end of June travel date.

One issue I see is this.

The IHME model has not been released yet. It was delayed from yesterday to today, and still has not been released. I find it had to believe the model being delayed and this big announcement are not related. I just don't believe in coincidences.

If the models news was good, I have to imagine that those models would have been released before a big social distancing announcement. It does make me worry that the models are going to show another increase, delay in flattening.

 

[MissPotts]

Good luck! I hope it all works out.

I would still be pretty upset with Disney though. You'd think if it was something about you arriving after midnight, they would have been able to tell you that...not just leave you in the dark and give you no information.

Thanks! Hopefully we get it figured out!

Overall I think this is great news for the possibility of the Disney parks to be open by mid July , July 1st is looking better to me. Theoretically it could be as early as June 15th for the parks with some element of social distancing and if rates continually drop

ETA I don't think it will be that early though , still going with mid July

There is no way that model is going to supersede this document. individual Governors will but not that model.

I heard the model will update today and that it is good news with less death predicted

According to rumors coming out of what will be said at 6PM during the news conference.....

Large gathering will be approved and "layered and phased " in over the next several months. Whatever that means.

I guess we will learn more soon.

Great, but I thought trump had no authority over opening states back up?

So it means nothing?
