Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

And this is done on purpose, BTW. At least that was what was indicated in an article I read a few weeks back.

If it wasn't a reputable source then everything should be taken with a grain of salt. Why would they purposely not provide unemployment benefits to workers?

Well, with Universal calling employees back to their theme parks, and Six Flags setting up a page for reservations, theme parks don’t look to be far down the line. Some will be happy, some will be angered, those decisions aren’t up to us

Perhaps I missed something? Where did you see that UOR was calling back TMs (other than a few for CW)?

Yullin posted it in one of these threads (I can’t remember which since it seems the same conversation is going on in multiple threads) a few hours ago that TMs were being called in to return to IOA and Volcano Bay

One of the mods shared it here. Have not heard anything else otherwise, and I know some TM's who work at UO and CityWalk.

It was a reputable source, since it came from DeSantis. They did it to discourage people from applying for unemployment.

Some team members have been called back to Universal (the parks and Volcano Bay) just working a couple of days a week, from what they hear, they are aiming for June 1st. This is from a manager at VB and a merchandise lead at IOA

Here it is

Honestly, I am really uncomfortable with the rate of new infections in kids and the complications we are now seeing. That alone makes Disney really complicated. I know that UO released the statement about the older population but this new issue with kids is a huge monkey wrench IMO and one of my huge reasons for worrying about them opening. ( And yes, I know the economy has to get moving but the pediatric nurse in me is really concerned about our kids).

Interesting. Good news! Didn’t genuinely consider the possibility that UOR could actually open before WDW.

It's called realism. And you have NO CLUE what we have gone through so I suggest you back off NOW

Numerous posters here making assumptions about people's financial situations based on people sharing their opinions, I've noticed.

Has this news really not been shared yet on this board?

Doesn’t mean they’re opening before WDW, just means the news of bringing employees back to work came before Disney.We could hear tomorrow that Disney will begin to bring employees in

If WDW reopens, infections spike, and has to shut down again, it could be fatal. They are not going to reopen until infection rates drop or there is a treatment, regardless of ancillary consequences.

Infection rates will always be spiking as we go forward because more testing is going to be available. A lot more testing with the ability to test many thousands more a day. More testing = more positives. I don’t think that should be the only metrics. This country won’t reach the point of zero infections like others. I don’t think states should automatically shut everything down again based on positives. The hospital rate will give more of the picture imo

I didn't consider that either, but since City Walk is opening before DS maybe the Disney parks will open after Universal? But who knows. I just really wish we could get some real news from Disney soon.

Disneyland now shows no ADR availability for July! DL looks to open later, but wonder if WDW will follow suit like they have been doing thus far?!?

" Annual Passholder tickets will not be honored for admission; however Annual Passholders will be entitled to purchase admission tickets at a discounted rate on a one for one basis. "

Is this site legit?

ADRs are difficult to do when you don’t know how many people will be allowed in the parks. In this case, ADRs would be used as a “guarantee” entry into the parks because you have dinner reservations, and they just aren’t able to give out those types of promises at the moment.

Not Disney, but Orlando’s 4th of July fireworks show is cancelled. Just throwing that out there.

Never even heard of this site before. They're going to make APs buy extra tickets? That will go over well...
