We have no way of knowing what their plans currently are, so to assume one way or the other is just giving an excuse to judge the company or sanctify them. Personally, I think it could go either way - they could be holding onto reservations to maintain their cash reserves and slow down the workload for their call centers, or they could genuinely hope and believe that each week may have the possibility of them opening and they don't want to cancel someone's trip and then announce an opening for those same dates afterward.
Yes.
So don't book if that's what you think.
You must have stock in Disney! You are very defensive of everyone having their “own” opinion. LOL
They don’t know. They are doing this week by week. Things are ever changing. They could open in some capacity mid June. I think they know they won’t be able to open in full capacity in June or even July and I think everyone knows that. However they keep the door open in case that can open in a smaller capacity.
I’d argue Chapek and Iger don’t even know. They likely have an idea of when they think they can open but that can still change. They obviously thought June 1st was a possibility otherwise they wouldn’t have allowed people an offer for that time.
That’s a slippery slope. If you say when we open the parks this is what will be happening, but don’t have a date that’s problematic. By the time that date comes different things could be allowed or not allowed. Things are very contingent on what works logistically, what the government allows, and what health officials say.
People booked directly through Disney or a travel agent can. Those who rented DVC points might not as it's up to each individual company for handling refunds.
Exactly, so if they don't even know, no one else can say with certainty
(((Hugs))) I know the DVC side of things has really been messed up. Thinking good thoughts it all works out in the end.
I don't see how much will change if they open in July versus August or later. Physical distancing and masks will be here for awhile as well as characters from a distance. IMO it doesn't matter when they open cause the virus is still here til a treatment is available. Til that happens not much changes.
That’s why it’s contingent on health officials and the government. Disney isn’t going to open even at a limited capacity until it is safe to do so, and it’s profitable in a way that it doesn’t add to their losses but at least makes their losses less. They also have the liability and Disney doesn’t want mass lawsuits on their hand either. It’s almost a game of chess. It’s very strategic. You need the right pieces for this puzzle.
