Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Krandor]

I don't think they could do that and consider it a bubble since Beaches and Cream is open. Could you imagine the horrible PR they'd get for not letting guests into that pool because of the NBA! Bad enought to keep it closed at the beginning but then to open it for the stupid NBA players?!

I really don't see how they can claim to be in a bubble but then have the players at Yacht and GF. Are they planing on keeping them locked in their rooms?

I'm sure they will have procedures in place if that is where they do put them.

Looks though like YC will likely clear out at the end of regular season though and then consolidate teams at GF and DT.

So where do we think they will move all the GF guests? Time to speculate!

I'm bummed about this one.

To the Contemporary (?). It’s been unavailable for booking for awhile now...

 

[rteetz]

Oh at least. But my guess is the whole pool will be open. Gotta have a place for the families to play. It’s gonna make for some great promo pics and videos.

With YC being bubble teams families likely won’t even come to YC. The players aren’t allowed guests until after the first round I believe.

Good luck keeping normal people from the POLY from going towards there to see NBA players. If anything that will lock down poly even more. I enjoy the walk from each, I guess thats another thing to add to the list of things you can't do anymore at Disney. Walk from one place to the other

The NBA and Disney have surely thought of those details. They’ve been working on this for months.

That matches the 3 resort thing .

No one had GF in the mix!

I know, they have thought more about how the NBA relationship is going to work, then the actual guest relationship that made Disney what it is today

 

[rteetz]

So much for the bubble!!

It was always multiple hotels. NBA commissioner said last night he doesn’t thing of it as a bubble but a campus that they can’t leave without consequence.

Because in all honesty I don’t think Disney wants a lot of guests to come. They are opening in mid July and they are actively trying to get people to confirm or cancel.

Refer to new rule #1- They don’t care. The NBA must be paying Disney a fortune.

Well GF did disappear from inventory the day before they announced reopening dates...

 

[Krandor]

High profile guests and I’m sure the NBA is paying for it....

Yeah I saw an article in the last day or two that the NBA is saying they actually are not going to make a whole lot of money by finishing the season due to the amount it is going to cost to put this thing on. It was more about keeping the league in public mind and getting things finished but the league itself wasn't going to make a lot. I am sure the amount they are paying to disney for hotels, and production and use of WWoS is going to be a huge huge check.

Exactly... the seeding has it so the teams that are real contenders are at GDT . Those at the GF & YC will be gone in the first eliminations and those who aren’t gone can be moved over to GDT freeing up both other resorts.

I know but the grand Floridian??? I assumed that the magic kingdom resorts were the most important for reopening, since they are closer to everything. I am just shocked they gave up that resort. It makes life easier for the actual guest going to the parks.

 

[Sandisw]

I’m genuinely curious how they will work that out with VGF. Yes, you could isolate those guests to the Villas building, but they have no access to shopping, dining, or transportation. That’s sure to upset some Owners.

I don’t think we know yet what the bubble will look like but I am going to guess we won’t be kept out of the dining and main building.

 

[hereforthechurros]

Wow they get grand floridan

That SUCKS

Why give them something so close to the kingdom, and one of the best hotels.

That has to annoy Disney fans, esp dvc members

Ugh this annoys me. I love that Hotel, and I don't think they should be in hotels right next to magic kingdom. Disney annoying me so much lately

That may the first hotel to go when things condense, and it’s only for a couple months so hopefully it won’t make much an an impact. Wonder what they’ll do with DVC though...

Probably was part of the negotiation for the players to get some of the nicer resorts.

Feel free to laugh at my complete lack of knowledge about the nba situation.
How long are the teams planning on spending inside wwos? Could they have breakfast and dinner only at their resorts and spend the rest of their day at wwos? Opening dining options at the GF at least for regular guests?
CSR and YC are more secluded and have dining options within

Exactly ! In all honestly, when I called to get a refund on my (non-package) park tickets (July 14) the CM seemed giddy ! They gave me no problem at all !

YC will be first. GF will be second then GDT for the remaining teams.
