Interesting quote within the article:

"We do not know currently know how long the cessation of construction and maintenance projects services by the affected project workers will last, but we will continue to communicate with the unions halls throughout the process and during our anticipated efforts to ramp the business back up within 6 months."

I believe that's the best indicator we've had so far of how long Disney will be closed. The construction hopes to restart before the year is over.

ETA: There is no reason they couldn't be doing construction at Disney right now. It's the perfect time without guests. The only reason construction was stopped was $$$$$$. This puts all current projects for the 50th months behind schedule.

Nah. Rumor was Disney is stopping all construction to conserve $$$$$$. And that when they resumed it would only be the most important ones (like Ratatouille that is *this* close to being done). I believe the rumor is they straight up de-funded their big projects like the Star Wars hotel. Personally I think that means they want money in the coffers before resuming major construction projects.

Is it wrong to be excited about that?

Just heard from a colleague in FL that Disney has suspended, until further notice, one of its service contracts due to their shutdown--that would not be indicative of an organization that is preparing to open.

I am, too!

Not wrong at all in my opinion.

Silly me, I thought that type of cleaning was done every night.

What type of service contract?

without knowing any of the details - it might have more to do with the service provider than with Disney. It's possible that without their Disney contract they had to shrink services? My point being - we can't infer based on information like this.

What type of service contract?

It is a labor-on-demand service that has been running consistently for years.

People here infer based on a lot less.

Thats what I'm wondering

 

[SwirlTheCitrus]

Is there any ETA on an announcement? I know that they said Friday there would be an announcement today; what is the date of the next possible announcement?

EDIT: the open Florida commission announcement (of any variety).

Them pressure washing is a good sign to me

DeSantis, a lifelong Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, said he hoped to see Tom Brady play at Raymond James Stadium -- when it’s a football palace and not a testing site -- later this fall.

“If we can get far enough along we can watch the new quarterback of the Bucs play,” DeSantis said, “and host the Super Bowl.”

 

[Joe in VA]

I have to say whether the Bucs have full stadiums or not this fall, it is VERY refreshing to hear optimism in the midst of such doom and gloom. If the Bucs are hosting 70k ppl sitting shoulder to shoulder, Disney will sure as heck be open w parades and meet and greets.

Right now it isn't but walkways are cleaned overnight in normal operation.
