Far too much number talking going on. I’ve been allowing the daily report. Further discussion should take place elsewhere.

Next goal: 2500 pages by the time all the WDW parks open

That would be around 33 pages of posts a day. I think for that to happen there would have to be some extremely bad news in the interim.

A real catch 22. What bad news other than delaying the parks opening would generate 33 pages a day.

No amount of good news would generate that much talk

Disney is too worried about liability and bad press. They don't care if you hire an uber driven by a random person because that doesn't get attached to their name. If a minnie van infects a bunch of families the media will be all over the news and easier to trace back to them and the van or driver. Disney knows they could request and enforce better standards of cleanliness, but its all about risk and their image. The random uber and lyft drivers most do nothing between riders, its also annoying cause alot don't want the windows down either in hot summer and lose their air conditioning. I would honestly would highly recommend a rental car easy to fully wipe down once when you get it. Ubers are pretty risky right now. Living in a city i have been forced to ride some and i honestly would not recommend it right now if not absolutely necessary. Most have nothing between them and passenger section since its their cars and they do it part time. I have spoken to alot of the drivers most told me they do nothing different and just expect to get it at some point. They don't make that much anyway they are not spending money alot on cleaning supplies and anti bacterial wipes or spray, sorry to speak reality. I would rent a car right now, takes five minutes to wipe down the entire car and you can just do it once at the beginning.

We have rented cars the last few years. If you look around you can get some good deals. We did not use it all the time, but it was nice to have as an option to cover transportation when we did not feel like depending on the sometimes erratic buses.

Well, as news coming in from CM/AP previews of how things are operating and stuff I bet we get some conversation going around that ... but yeah, 33 pages/day,everyday is a lot

Are they officially delayed?

No. It’s far too late to delay now.

Cirque du soliel: Drawn to Life first performance scheduled for November 5th. Tickets are on sale now

Broadway is closed until at least January 2021. Cirque negotiates with actors equity. We can't even agree on what today's numbers mean. I don't think cirque can financially open with reduced capacity. Nothing wrong with buying tickets but I wouldn't plan a trip in 2020 if your purpose is to see cirque. I wouldn't be shocked if opening is delayed.

Not sure if this has been posted. Im checking into the poly tomorrow and just opened mde and had this pop up

I did try to use this chat several times while staying and it seems that you go into the same chat queue that everyone else not on property is in. Hopefully they change that as it was hours before getting a CM. I was only successfully able to get help with dining and anything else I needed by calling the front desk from my room phone. Enjoy your stay at the Poly!!!

What happens when it gets a little cold in Florida. Those things become floating ice buckets. They should have put heating systems in them

Speaking of bad news - I've been thinking about our trip still scheduled for October and have come to grips with a hard truth - I just don't look good with a mask on. I've seen many pictures of folks with masks on, and most look fine. I've tried several and looked in a mirror but none really cut it. Think "Silence of the Lambs" - I wished I looked that good.

So yesterday I finally mentioned to DW "I don't think I have the right face for a mask". Total silence. I look over and she opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Over the next few minutes I see a range of emotions coming over her face, and a few smirks. It was like seeing those 3 dots and waiting for a text response. Finally, after a few false starts, she says "You're wrong - you have the perfect face for a mask." and quickly left the room.

I had to ponder her response and imagine the other possibilities there could have been. For all I know, variations of "I think you look better in a mask" could have crossed her mind more than once during her struggle. Come to think of it, I'd be hard pressed to craft a thoughtful response to the same question without any possibility of it being misconstrued in some form or other. I have a feeling if I were to answer a similar query from DW with the obiquitous "You look fine" or "You look Ok", she'd be trying on different ones until I would mistakenly blurt out something like "You look beautiful in that one" - which then can easily be misinterpreted and my day would turn to crap.

I've been quarantining too long.

Does this mask make my butt look big?

 

[RamblingMad]

No. It’s far too late to delay now.

Given that a younger demographic goes to WDW than Universal, I’d expect better outcomes. Of course, Disney transportation is going to be challenging. I’d rent a car.
