When was the last time EE had been closed for more than a few days? I recall reading it's never gone done for a refurbishment or at least not in a long time

Its been quite a while.

No, one is supposed to debut January 2021. The others were 2022, 2023. Unknown if those get pushed.

This one is hard to imagine Disney has optionality on, at least as far as the 2021 ship goes. They’re not building it themselves, and there’s nowhere to easily store a half-built ship. Its hard to imagine that it’s on the list of options for cuts.

If they haven’t started though they could cut them altogether. I could see them cut the 2023 ship if it gets to that point.

You sure about the January 2021 date on the wish. Everything I see says delivered late 2021 and first sailing January 2022.

Not surprising but also a signal Disney will not be open past March (which again is not surprising and probably expected). Show was originally supposed to be in Tampa.

100,000 person crowd will now be dropped to 0.

Just saw on Twitter (can't re-post here) that guests are being turned away from POR (if you're not currently staying there). Looking for someone else to post it..

This is going to be a very bizarre Wrestlemania ... not sure why they didn't just postpone it but having the biggest show of the year, that has been in giant stadiums for year, to no be infront of no crowd in a small building just seems weird

but I guess we are in weird times

Television broadcast revenue?

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Television broadcast revenue?

perhaps, though it is largely broadcast on their own network, so would be like if Disney had something planned to be out live on Disney+ .... you already have the monthly subscription so not sure how much of a difference if it is out on the regularly scheduled day or later (they do still do some on PPV for those that don't get the network)

They do specials every month so they probably figure just keep on schedule, just this is their biggest one of the year, normally

The Undertaker is not getting any younger and (I do not know how much, if any, wrestling you watch) the WWE can barely fill the tv time they have now, stretching out plotlines for another two months will make for horrible tv.

People who want the WWE Network have the Network. Other people (like myself) pay for it occasional for the monthly show (ONLY 9.99!) and then cancel again. So I do not think putting WM on tv would influence subscriber numbers to much.

WWE still get a lot of money from TV, hence the big FOX deal they signed. Putting WrestleMania on FOX in a Superbowl style Sunday night would bring in huge ratings and ad revenue that WWE can dip there fingers in and recoup some losses.
