The negotiation details have been discussed at length in the dedicated NBA thread right here in the rumors and news forum.

I am well aware. The previous poster suggested the NBA players made concessions, and that is something I am not familiar with. I know all of the things they are getting. I am just not aware of what sacrifices they've made to Disney.

And again, my original point was....if privacy mattered THAT much to them, they should have stayed somewhere else. Period.
 
Can anyone confirm 25 of 351 NBA players tested positive for coronavirus? That seems high!!!! Link anyone? Would be intertested to see how if that's true

Edit:disregard it's on NBA.com , I'm surprised


I'm really not all that surprised given some of the studies.

Hopefully they do anti-body tests on all of the players too. It would be interesting to see how many players have already had it before they got there since we know that 7% were active upon arrival.
 
Exactly what concessions did they make?
The biggest concession of all. They took their money and gave it to Disney. Anyone can complain, Disney made a decision the decision that the NBA’s money was worth going thru the hoops that the NBA asked for. Disney at any time could have said no, they didn’t. The NBA asked and paid for these privileges, its not like there’s no upside for Disney, they are making 1.5 mil a day, plus incidentals and also don’t have to hire additional staff for lodging. They also make Television rights across 2 networks that‘s in excess of at a minimum 300 mil. So if concessions should be made Disney should have asked for them or simply said no.

Why they paid for privacy! Period! They bought it and that’s an issue you should take with the Disney not the NBA. If I pay someone for a contracted service no concessions are actually being made.
 
I’m in the great state of Indiana 😁. I’m a transplant from Illinois, and I’m slowly becoming a Hoosier after almost 12 years lol. We do not have a 14 day quarantine, that is just me being cautious and respectful of where we will have just visited and the fact that Florida is a current “hotspot”. My daughters asthma is triggered by changes in climate. Here inIndiana we go from 70 degrees to 100 in 2 to three days. It’s a crap shoot on what the weather will be. I’ve already started special breathing treatments to open her lungs to the heat and humidity. I would and have been doing this regardless of the virus. She’s tall And heavier and I will get super dirty looks for pushing her in a stroller but I don’t care at this point. I need to make sure she’s ok breathing. So adding a mask to the equation complicates things. So, I’ve ordered a face guards or all three of us while I’m pushing the stroller and when we park and get ready to ride a ride we will have our masks.

Have a great time! and seriously, don't worry one bit about other people, you are there to enjoy yourselves. It's your trip, and you won't be bothering anybody. Be sure to update how the parks are!

I truly think this conversation is better suited to the NBA thread, but it has been discussed that the teams would understandably not want to share resorts with guests due to privacy concerns, and prefer a situation more like Gran Destino. I believe a concession the NBA made was to sacrifice privacy and be at resorts with guests in the first place. Disney didn’t have a deluxe option to offer that wasn’t attached to DVC - and all DVC villas obviously must be open to members. Gran Destino couldn’t accommodate everyone. Again, these negotiation details and related speculation have been discussed at length elsewhere.
 
I have a CM friend who works at Test Track who said they will have to shut down every 2 hours for cleaning. I think I read somewhere else that Smugglers Run was doing the same, so I figure that's gonna be attraction-wide.

How long does it takes to get back online after a shutdown?

Smugglers run should be pretty quick, they can do a soft shut down, kinda like putting a computer to sleep. Test track probably about 30/45 min due to having to do a actual restart every time. That doesn’t include any cleaning time though.

Well...then they need to be okay with the chance that a guest *might* see them at some point during the day. Instead of putting up screens inside restaurant windows so guests can't see outside...on the off chance they may see some random person.

It shouldn't take too long. At one park I've been to they sanitize everything after every hour. They spray the cars and run it for one cycle. At my local park, the county has them sanitize after every single time someone goes on the ride.

It's really going to depend on how they do it. The way that I've seen work best is that they get these foaming sprayer things and spray everything down and dry it off either by running the train empty or wiping it down.

Whooooooooa, that's pretty significant. Essentially, Test Track will be up 6-6.5 hours out of 10. (Using rough math)

I think a full reset of Test Track can take up to an hour to reboot.

It’s not the guests they are worried about, it’s media And social distancing.I promise they don’t care if Joe from Idaho sees them out and about, at this point they probably miss it.
