They’ll likely open up with similar, if not the exact same measures in place. Universal is just ahead of them because they didnt have to furlough the amount of employees that Disney did. If Universal opens before Disney, its not because Disney was caught sleeping and didnt have their measures ready the same time as Universal. I could see Disney opening 2-3 weeks after Universal

God this board.

Yes. I was only responding to a post. And my post should be read with that context in mind.

Universal open to public June 5th.

 

[FlagrantFleur]

June 5th opening for Universal

IMHO With that date Disney will open no later than June 15th, most likely earlier

Obviously. That's why I said "safety measures"....

Honestly was only quoting you to talk about my feelings on their safety measures. It wasn’t directed at you despite quoting you. It was more my feelings on it. Sorry. A lot gets lost in translation with internet boards.

WDW, what’s your response??? We’re all waiting!

Edit: maybe mid June?

I still say July 6th for Disney. They’re not going to rush into it just because UO is opening. Still a lot more to figure out with resorts and transportation for Disney.

I figured that may be the case. July 4 would be packed I’d think

If Disney can afford to wait fiscally, they will be the clear winner to the public eye. Them waiting after Universal is an perfect example on why I even love them more.

Let's see how this plays out, but I think it's a great PR win.

wow i am surprised Universal is asking for June 5th for public...

Holding out hope for Disney, i do think July 6th seems reasonable so its after the 4th, but to be honest you actually think they will wait a month?

Edit to add maybe they are cancelling resorts but parks will be open but not resorts June 1st or 15th or whatever?

Hmmmm...so I think we may go to the dark side lol...just got canceled for the 3rd time at Disney if Universal is going to be opening...that will be our new plan

 

[xuxa777]

Universal will require masks, no parades, no buffets, virtual lines for popular attractions, no single rider lines, no interactive M&G

Volcano Bay will be open as well

What makes you think a mid June opening would be them rushing? They could easily have everything mapped out. We dont know yet

But they canceled ppl 6/7-6/13 today.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

What is Universal proposing with their resorts? Disney could do parks only to “keep up” and keep resort cancellations coming.

DVC needs to open.

Just with how slow they’re moving on the Springs side. Opened non-Disney stuff yesterday. 2 Disney stores and D-luxe burger this coming Wednesday. Waiting an entire week just to open 3 locations. Disney will want to err on the side of caution.

Resorts are third party I believe.
