News Round Up 2020

yeah, I get the need to have some sort of limit but seems off when you would be better off now to have a dated 5 day ticket which saw the expiration of those dates extended out and basically become 5 individual day tickets than to have an AP that costs quite a bit more

Not sure what the exact right answer is but it feels really restrictive to paassholders

That said, days are filling up really fast for passholders and if they had 7 days instead of 3 I am sure they would fill up that much faster so maybe it makes sense to do it they way they are
It always feels restrictive to me. So it seems that if you’re staying on site you get benefits, not just if you have an AP. Just like with FP reservations. I hate that just bc I have a FL resident AP I feel like second class citizen. I LOVE Disney and wish they would show a little more ❤️!
 
wait? what? I can’t book past my 4 day resort stay. The MDE chat told me it wasn’t allowed this morning as well? Great news if that’s wrong.

It seems to be inconsistent some people are able to and some people aren't

Someone just posted that what was "locking" it was if you had a park reservation for your check out day of your resort saty. Once that person removed that booking they were then able to book their 3 AP days elsewhere
 

I could be way off base with this, but could it be some sort of IT/coding issue vs. Disney intentionally doing this?
This is really how it works with FPs too. An AP can get 7 days or the length of stays. Not length of stays plus 7 days. This has always really bothered me, especially on the out of state APs.
 
Sounds like a good tour company to avoid. I also feel like this was an excuse for a decision already made. I assume most of the EU will be requiring masks and all of Eastern Asia, so if you aren't willing to travel to places that need masks your options will be pretty limited.
I've also been wondering if that's truly the real reason. I've heard grumblings about possible restrictions for U.S. citizens to come to Europe due to our present amount of cases. I'd be kinda surprised if there was a huge push for Europeans in general (though the restriction is discussing those in the EU) to come travel here.
 
I think WDW reopening is going to be in trouble based off of recent data......

Uni maybe going to have to close again as well.

This is purely speculation, but did not expect those numbers......

I think your hunch is right. I wish it weren't but that's my feeling. Here in Texas the Governor just ordered re-opening to scale back. Florida's numbers are no better than ours.

These numbers have been predicted forever. The problem is we have several states and a lot of people that think ignoring reality is an effective strategy.

Unfortunately the people most pushing for reopening are the same people that are ignoring all recommendations that could allow reopening to be sustainable.

I guess the key to me would be .. are there huge increase in cases in the counties surrounding Orlando? How many of those are being traced back to the parks that ARE open (Universal, Sea World, Legoland)? Have their been reports of employees there testing positive? If outbreaks are happening at this very public theme parks, then Disney will probably consider a delay. If not, then Disney should be able to open just like other businesses and let everyone assess their own risk despite the rising numbers.

I personally don't feel unsafe right now going to the beach .. or a zoo . .or a theme park as those are mostly outdoors. But I am not about to go marching onto an airplane or a movie theater any time soon. We can be open and be safe, we just have to realize there is no 100% safe .. so cases will continue to rise. And at some point we just have to be okay with that.
