Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[DGsAtBLT]

JMO The fear isn't if Disney being forced to shut down, that would have the biggest impact with DVC. The fear is if the infection rate increases to the point where Disney should close or is the infection rate high enough to suggest any intelligent person should delay a trip.

In some ways I think those of us in March - July had it easier. Not an easy decision at all for many to have to decide to cancel a trip when Disney is open and ready for them and not forcing their hand.

Are we trip shaming again?

Trip shaming never really ended, and it doesn’t end with just Disney. I saw multiple people suggest and “demand” you stay home and be by yourself for Thanksgiving and those same people turn around and post pictures of them at Thanksgiving with family that didn’t live with them.

Again i say, a certificate from visitors that they have been vaccinated to be able to enter parks will be half the effort if CM are not obligated to get the vaccine, and i just don't see that happening

Disney requiring CM and Guests to get vaccinated just opens up so many cans of worms for them.

What about the CM and Guests who can NOT get the vaccine? I personally know 2 people who CAN NOT get the flu vaccine and their doctors already told them they will likely not be able to get the Covid vaccine. So because they have a condition that they have no control over and cant be vaccinated Disney fires them? Yeah thats not going to work out too well for Disney.

and what about DVC owners who cant get the vaccine for certain reasons, Disney just says too bad you cant come all the money you spent is gone sorry? Another thing that will not work out too well for Disney.

We are seeing reports in the news about airlines, and concerts, and cruises etc..... that might require the vaccine but NONE of those things you paid for and owned BEFORE Covid happened.

I just dont see a scenario where Disney requires guests to have the Vaccine. Too many moving parts would have to change and be fought in courts etc.....

Sorry I wasn't clearer. My point is risk level is likely to exceed an individuals risk tolerance long before FL shuts down Disney. The question isn't if Disney shuts down but rather if conditions get bad enough you decide to defer.

To be fair, there’s also been some amount of cancel-shaming going on in this thread too. People should respect each others’ decisions (in both directions) and move on. It goes both ways.

As I’ve repeated, WDW closing again isn’t what winter 2021 WDW travelers should be worried about, it’s what that experience will look like (and it’s not like the price will be going down lol). At best, what you see now is what you’re going to get. At worst, you’ll get a lot less, given that cancellations are up again.

During his press conference today DeSantis said there would be “no lockdowns, no fines, no school closures. No one’s losing their job because of a government dictate. Nobody’s losing their livelihood or their business. That is totally off the table.”

So that should nix any fears of WDW shutting down

Disney could still impose their own shutdown albeit unlikely.

Preach.
Yeah I’ve been shamed by family for being cautious. People are crazy.

I still predict there will be WDW ticket price increases announced within the 1st couple of months in 2021.

Were there always only 7? It's been a while but I thought there were more.

 

[rpb718]

I shouldn't have looked at the video posted of the Super Nintendo World & Mario Kart ride at Universal Japan just posted today. Hope the plans at Orlando aren't completely dead, but also thinking even if not it will be a long long wait.

Thats not all of them.

Disney likely will not be back to what it was pre-pandemic for quite some time. Even if everything goes perfect with the vaccines, the whole thing has taken a financial toll that will impact for years to come. Certain things may never come back.

Welcome to this thread where that has been discussed to death.

That would be pretty silly to go from blaming Newsom for DLR not opening (a less profitable sector of parks in the US than WDW) over and over and over again to shutting down WDW themselves
