At AK and was just told by a CM that they’ve boosted the AP merchandise discount across the park to 30% off.

Is that plus the buy one get one free on all the 2020 merch I saw mentioned earlier?

Does anybody actually expect Disney to shut down again? It is clear that Disney leadership is pretty “tight” with the governor and mayor, and I find it hard to believe either of those will jump to a decision to force Disney to close. I would expect mandatory masks statewide soon. Disney, as a business, would be doing so much financial and PR damage if they closed again within the next few months. I just can’t imagine this happening. But then again, I never expected any of this to happen to begin with.

I think sadly they are 1 bad story away from doing just that. How bad that story has to be is the tough question. I think the NBA complicates things to. Closing would be an acknowledgement that it’s not safe and players would be calling to shut it down. What a mess that would be...remember, the country basically stood up and took notice when the MBA shut down the first time. Shutting down the league would be crushing to WDW, ESPN, and the nations psyche...

How is that even possible?

It is one of our favorite rides (we have young children) but 500 minutes? That has to be an error, right?

Its almost like they're desperate to get rid of the 2020 merch now incase they do not get chance later in the year

But sorry iv no idea which locations have the sale on.

I am inclined to agree with this. I wish I were wrong, but with Florida in the state it is in, it seems inevitable that there will be a bad story coming out and some sort of closure will need to occur again.

NO clue. I think the discussion re: this is more political than the board allows, since the reason they opened is political, and whether they shut down or not, will be political. At this point though, my guess is no, they won't, even if they should.

We really need a DIS meet at the carpets with or without Dole Whips. That part is optional.

Man this really upsets me.

I love the CMs. If I see one from where I am from I stop and chat. If I recognize one I tell them I do. I thank them profusely. I've had one truly unpleasant CM experience and it almost ruined the entire day. When it's bad, it's bad.

I love when I see one from "Pittsburgh." One time at a character dining the entertainment CM said, "I'm not actually from Pittsburgh. I'm from <town near Pgh>." We laughed and said, "We live just down the way from you in <another town near Pgh>." She then gave my daughter some extra special attention during the character entertainment.

I have one of those two. She also has some Asthma issues and coughs a lot. I am pretty worried about traveling. I fully expect to need to travel with paperwork about her medical issues.

I have a bit of an asthmatic cough at times. I will have my inhalers on me at all times, both my daily and rescue. If I have to take a puff of the rescue to calm anyone down, I will.

I propose churros as a 2nd option for those of us who are not on the Dole Whip bandwagon.

The cultural exchange program news is sad, but I honestly thought it has already progressed to this extent. I'm not holding my breath about this coming back. And with it Epcot becomes even more the neglected park.
