Most promising news we’ve heard yet! I have a feeling we won’t get a date right away, but we’ll see.

Yes, we should know when it is submitted

Yep I think they will go in concert as well.

I’ve always thought they were working together. To be exact, I’ve always said Universal and WDW. Sea World is never on my radar. lol

All three will enter: Mickey Mouse riding on Shamu around a spinning globe.

Hm, I am going to be the contrarian. I see that Lauren said the theme parks "will start making" re-opening presentations tomorrow. Doesn't mean Disney will hand theirs in tomorrow. Maybe this thread has made me too skeptical, but it wouldn't shock me if Universal and Sea World announced plans and Disney went right on stalling and hiding their cards.

My bet is, everyone else goes in concert but Disney goes solo.

I suspect that Universal and Disney open around the same time, probably July timeframe for a limited capacity reopening, and maybe this fall for more robust capacity.

That's a good point. But holy cow would I love to know an opening date tomorrow, even if it's not for a couple of months.

 

[MusicalAstronaut]

I take it back. I won't take my refund and go camping. I want to go to Disney nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Come on, July!

 

[e_yerger]

Very interesting that DeSantis is requiring them to include a proposed opening date in their proposals tomorrow. It's obvious how eager he is to get those parks back open. I'm here for it!

Keep in mind, WDW is not in, nor governed by, Orange County. So they’re not beholden to the same rules Universal and SeaWorld are for the presentations tomorrow. They could very well provide a very brief presentation with no date, as the Orange County Mayor doesn’t have to approve their plan.

Most of WDW is in Orange County, including all four of the parks. The southern most edge (with the All Stars for example) is in Osceola County.

Walt Disney World is located in both Orange and Osceola County, with the majority of the property in Orange County.

Disney is in a bit of a different place then the other theme park’s presenting tomorrow, with both the NBA and MLS leagues are apparently working on a deal with Disney to finish out their seasons at WWoS/ESPN - that revenue buys Disney time that the other two parks do not have. As mentioned somewhere here or on one of the other rumors threads.. the idea for the leagues to be at WDW (or Vegas) is that they can provide a “bubble” for their personnel. With the parks open, does that safety net still exist.

Im not saying we would t get a date tomorrow as most are expecting - just that the date we do get in light of the sports involved may not be as soon as we like

Mayor Buddy Dyer did a walk through with Universal today.

It exists. WDW guests won’t be allowed anywhere near the resort players are housed at nor will they be allowed around WWoS. Players/coaches/etc will get to go two places: WWoS and their resort.

What doesn’t exist is decent news one of those legues is actually ready to give Disney money. The current rumors are basically re-hash of rumors from a week or two ago.

 

[Sandiz08]

They would definitely have to move certain reservations for mls and nba, killing two birds with one stone. The players wouldn’t be visiting the parks, just close the resorts they are staying at to visitors, unless they won’t open back up for the public until that is over.

 

[FlagrantFleur]

Most of this round table is lip service for the President at the moment. Any idea when the good stuff starts?!
