If nothing else maybe ROTR gets easier, lol.

That would at least be a silver lining in a other wise bad scenario. Sometimes you have to look for those

Ehh I have a trip end of March Early April and I am not even worried. I dont want Covid 19 to make a big splash in the US but even if it did as long as WDW was still open I would prob go.

We'll be there at the same time.

I know everyone always wants to super serious reasons for everything ... but it might simply be this has been the plan for a while and perhaps they were worried about it leaking out so they got ahead of it or another firm was courting Chapek so they went ahead with it now.

Clearly this is in preperation for Disney to be totally split up...and sell of the parks and go ONLY movies and online content with Disney plus!!!






Yes, this is just a joke folks.....

Or..is it?

A huge chunk of their profit is Parks, Experience, and whatever the other part of that portfolio is. Can't see them spinning that off even if that division will take a hit this year due to Coronavirus. Of course since most companies seem to be concerned only with the short-term I suppose anything is possible.

Products which is merchandise, a huge piece of the company.

I went looking for Enchanted to show my daughter and it's not on there...had to dig out that DVD!

Recently watched that one. Very entertaining. If they're going to do live stuff, it's the way to do it!

Wonder what the going guest recovery is for that... and, did the skipper keep the jokes flowing as it "sank?"

Well that's not good! What is meant by "sinking" here though. Obviously the boats are on a track but are they technically still free floating?

Did they have a sinking feeling about that trip?

hoping someone will post some pictures....

And that water level isn't too deep. Sort of a strange story

The fact that the ride opened up again only like an hour and a half later too makes it feel like this is one of those stories that ends up being exaggerated because the only info is from guests on social media. Maybe somehow the boat came off the track, some water splashed in and now we have a "jungle cruise boat sinks and water comes into boat" story.

Is the attraction still open/running?

The Hippobottomlesses were getting rebellious.

I hope they were not near Ginger. I hear she snaps.
