From the article Movie theatres and no in person sports will be opening in phase 1. That pretty much confirms no Disney opening in phase 1.

while I never thought Disney would be in phase 1 I will be interested to see what full plans are.

While not Disney owned, Shades of Green just announced on their FB page that their opening has been extender to June 1st.

I find it interesting that they’re saying it’s a re-opening date, not that they’re closed until June 1. Maybe I’m reading too much into that verbiage, but there’s no way they open with WDW still closed.....is there?

I wouldn't say that, i heard this particular press conference and the governor said he doesn't want any indoor activities with large crowds but he did say that outdoor activities and locations are fine, he said they were expecting an outbreak from outdoor places that had thousands of people crammed together before the closing and that never came.
Now of course he didn't name Disney in particular. He also said we (in Florida) have been functioning basically on phase 1 already,

You could do a resort only trip sure... Same as anywhere. I doubt most people will though.

Not really anything new there. He says he doesn't like movie theaters because it's an "enclosed environment." And you aren't moving. If you are in there with someone infected sitting near you, there is a good chance of being exposed.

One of the people on the task force this week, I think it was the guy from Universal, pointed out that theme parks are open areas and mostly outside. Social distancing is possible.

Try opening it again. I had that too, closed my app, reopened and it was gone! Just happened.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it's there, i have an android

Which doesn’t really make much sense. Let’s say movie theaters open with 50% theater capacity. You’ll find far more people at a grocery store, target, or Walmart, literally at any given time during business hours.And those people are touching things, putting them back on shelves. 100s of hands could touch a box of cereal before it’s purchased. Not to mention how many people you’re passing without 6 feet of space. While at movie theaters you’re sitting in one seat, isolated by at least 6 feet from anyone other than people you’re already in close contact with at home. What are you touching in a movie theater? Seat, arm rest, maybe the railing on the stairs walking up to your seat?

the difference between those stores and a movie theater is that they’re essential businesses, while movie theaters aren’t. But if you ask me where I’d feel safer from catching a virus? It’s movie theater every day

Being in a store for 30 minutes is better than sitting in a movie theater with 200 people for 3 hours.

The digital registry for rides is really interesting.

What does that mean? Like a virtual queue?

the theater closest to me Doesn’t even have 1 theater that seats 200 not since they put the huge recliners in

Cool.

I have no idea.

 

[LSUmiss]

It lines up with the predictions...

But couldn’t that be where he got it?

What theaters have capacity to fill 200 seats at 50% capacity? (So 400 seats).

if you’re in a store for 30 minutes, that’s a lot of variable change with new potential carriers entering the store. Movie theaters aren’t haven’t interchangeable viewers throughout the movie. You’re in there for 90-180 minutes with the same people, at 6 feet of distance. If you have 200 interchangeable customers in a store, you’re far more likely to encounter a carrier while having much less space to avoid 6 feet of Distance

 

[SaintsManiac]

Maybe? Again I have no idea. However, I don’t think a CM was being sinister and giving out fake info just to do it.

People are going to believe what they want until official announcements are made.

Sigh. Not going to continue this inane argument.

 

[LSUmiss]

CM’s answering phones would likely know the plans before any public announcement because the calls will come flying in after they make the public announcement, and they want CMs to be informed to answer any questions the guest may have. But I don’t see any CM not realizing they weren’t given the OK to give out this type of information yet.

But I would think they would know pretty much right before (so it’s not leaked) so if we don’t see this announced officially by the end of the week then it seems even more unlikely that it’s official.

I’m thinking more along the lines of believing rumors he heard from other cms & repeating them vs a sinister plot. Surely there is one cm who claims to know someone in corporate .

because there is no argument to make. You have a better chance at catching a virus when you walk by 200 different people, while also touching items on a shelf than you do sitting in one chair, 6 feet away from 200 people for the duration of the movie. It’s really not that difficult. More common sense than anything

Finn Ryder is the hero/con man from Tangled.

No that’s Flynn
