Unless they limit banking, I think the availability fix is a band aid. It makes 2021 availability worse because all the points being banked this year by people with canceled vacations will stack with the points that couldn’t be borrowed into 2020.
ALLLLLLL of these "rumors" came from one person that claims to be a financial analyst. The source has ZERO affiliation with the theme parks.
What do you want to know? There is some information on the Disneyland Paris board https://www.disboards.com/threads/d...ntil-further-notice-updated-30-march.3794566/
That rumor comes from a news article with that in the headline. The news article quoted one financial analyst who guessed the parks wouldn't open until 2021. The article also quoted a different financial analyst who guessed the parks would open this summer. They only quoted the 2021 guess in the headlines, because that's what's going to get the most clicks, naturally. But neither analyst works for Disney in any way or had any background knowledge for their guess beyond what the general public knows. Their guesses are as good as ours, and vice versa, at this point.
Yup. And it’s the basis of almost every article that pops up when you google search “Disney Parks”. So of course it’s spreading like wildfire because it’s a flashy “ prediction” and the casual Disney fanbase that doesn’t know about informative sites like this sees and article that says “Disney won’t open until 2021”, relays that information as fact when it’s just one person saying what he thinks will happen.
And we know Wall st loves to devalue stocks all in the name of profitHaving an affiliation with theme parks is not required in order to have an opinion, this opinion was based on the financial impact the closures are/could/may have on reopening the parks — opinion. No one is claiming it is a fact. It states opinion right in the article.
As far as the analyst, it’s not a matter of claim to be.. He is a Wall St Analyst. It’s easily substantiated. USB the company this analyst works for is a global entity. A Swiss multinational investment bank and financial services company based in Switzerland with a strong international presence It has an S&P rating of A+.
Not exactly a news reporter making things up as they go.
And the other financial analyst quoted in the same article, who predicted the parks would reopen this summer, is a Wall Street analyst who works for JP Morgan. So expert financial analyst opinions vary, just like they do on these boards.
Analyst from JP Morgan, also with a S&P rating of A+ predicts a June opening. Neither knows for sure, they are just making their best guess as neither has direct knowledge from Disney.Having an affiliation with theme parks is not required in order to have an opinion, this opinion was based on the financial impact the closures are/could/may have on reopening the parks — opinion.

This is the thing that has confused me about opinions that the resorts will reopen first. Are there that many people who want to spend that kind of money (let’s ignore the DVC expiring points situation for the purposes of this) to just hang out at a Disney Hotel without being able to visit the main attraction?
