They cannot give a date, because they simply don't have one.

link?

So i'm pretty sure they don't have to present, but DeSantis and OC Mayor are expecting them to give their proposals and dates today.

I don’t think they have to give their proposal today. If they’re not sure of when they’re reopening, as remember they have a lot more property to think of and plan for, they won’t give a proposal. Especially if they’re looking more towards the middle to end of July.

It's all about as clear as mud. One site will say they aren't presenting, another says they're submitting but no presenting....ugh! We can't even get a date for when they'll give us a date! lol

I said this in another thread but:
Opening plans need to be approved by the governor and OC mayor - which they are required to deliver today (but only UOR is presenting). Once it is approved, I think we will see a PR from Disney with the date and what their procedures will look like.

We are forgetting that they need to get all procedures approved for CDC compliance. I have faith that we will know very soon what their opening date is.

I'm voting June 14th.

I just really hope they don’t delay opening to the public b/c of the NBA. That would really piss me off. I don’t think I would rebook.

Someone said it yesterday:
'Okay class everyone's project is due tomorrow, but only Universal will present. Disney World and Seaworld will present their projects at another date "

All of our Disney money is tied up in gift cards (Target 5% off) and we got an amazing deal... preferred room, 10 day stay, park hopper plus. We've had this trip booked since July 2019. We're set to go June 14-24 for my daughters third birthday. I just want to know if I should book for July, October... next year. It's all a little disappointing not knowing a projected day. Who does it hurt?

 

[RamblingMad]

Now, I think, they wait until after the 4th of July to open. That’s my best guess.

Any news from Universal?

Yep I am still sticking to July 6th.

The only way I can that happening is they don't think they can make enough money from opening a few resorts and at limited capacity. If the NBA season can finish by the end of July then by August Disney sees they can open up to more people it would work better for them.

IMO they sort of announced a possible opening date of July 1st.

But it’s not “due” today. The task force is meeting today, and 1 reporter tweeted that all would be presenting. Now that Disney has refuted that, it could very well be that the task force is meeting because UO is ready to present. Disney doesn’t have to present, they’re not required to open because the government tells them to. They’re a private company and can make their decision when they’re ready to. They will just have to get permission from the task force and guv prior to that. But they don’t have to have that plan ready today.

I Agree. If you'er going to make massive modifications your biggest risk of people not abiding by those rules are on holidays when things have the potential to become the most chaotic. Remove this variable.

If they push past the 9th, they can clear off all those awesome AP discounts...like mine. Only half serious that it would factor in...but that means I'm half serious it would.

That’s my guess too, if not even later. They’re not going to want the influx of people for the fourth and have to turn people away at the gates. Especially if they’re not going to be doing fireworks anyway.

 

[tinkerhon]

Been sticking with July 4th ( a lot due to the significance of the date) for awhile

Guess we should know by July 3rd, at 11:59PM

Except normal holiday crowd levels are irrelevant since they're going to limit capacity.

Agreed. Once you get to end of june and especially if fireworks are going to be a no-go I think it's best to just move past the 4th of july holiday

Yes the fireworks/holiday crowd is why I say that. I experienced MK on that night last year and it was the most crowded Hub I have ever been in. I can't see how the fireworks would happen.

 

[skeeter31]

Except normal holiday crowd levels are irrelevant since they're going to limit capacity.

But too many locals would still drive to the parks and there would be congestion and people getting turned away at the turnstiles. If they’re thinking of opening anytime around the beginning of July, there’s just too much risk opening prior to the fourth.

you should watch the mayors press briefing from yesterday at 4pm.

It’s more about crowding and social distancing for fireworks. How can they have fireworks for the 4th?
