OMG

Any idea what would happen if you're staying on property and they decided/forced to shut down?

What has happened at WDW in the past with hurricanes?

Have until Monday.

wow

 

[DellyHoliday]

WOW

 

[Jaina]

I just saw this. I am shocked!

 

[BGinCali]

I actually am stunned

It was a matter of time. I fully expected this.
So awful for those with long-planned vacations, but it's safer in the long run.
Imagine the logistics nightmare for the staff there. Not to mention the short term unemployment claims that are being filed from all over.

So many people will be negatively impacted financially. Those Disney workers do not make a lot of money. No hours is going to wipe out those who live paycheck to paycheck.

Dang. Closed for 2 weeks. I guess that answers the question of whether people should go this month.

 

[lalasmama]

I was just kind of "waiting for the other shoe to drop." And there it goes.

Wondering when WDW will follow.

 

[Epicnemesis]

They better do right by annual pass holders as well. Was planning on going on Saturday.

The release says CMs will continue to be paid.

crazy, right at spring break

At least they put their money where their mouth is and are paying employees at least until the end of the month.

We'll see if they continue to do it if they extend the closure into April.

 

[lcp9]

They had to - I mean if nothing else, the optics just would look terrible. We love Disneyland, but there's really no greater Petri dish. And people are coming from absolutely everywhere.

 

[ENJDisneyFan]

This is crazy!!

 

[sherilaine]

Well at least this allows people to cancel and plan for another time - the not knowing was the big issue. Hopefully all of these sacrifices in our daily routines and plans will pay off and we will see a flattening of the curve of spread for this virus and in the end everyone will be better off for having done this. If things just kept going as usual we could see some pretty dire situations unfolding on this continent.

Just coming here to post this. We are supposed to go for Easter... will see what happens.

So glad they are paying their employees during this time.

 

[tsumgirl]

I'm so glad to hear Disney will continue to pay CMs during the closure. It sucks big time for those with trips planned, but safety first.

Just coming here to post thing. We are supposed to go for Easter... will see what happens.

Us, too!
