Well there it is.

Relieved, yet not.

I trust it's true, but I'm surprised they didn't announce it themselves via their own resources. Rather going through CNN/other outlets.

Ugh, had a feeling it was inevitable. Do we really think 2 weeks is it?

 

[Spridell]

Are they letting new people into the hotels? Or just keeping them open for guests already there?

my brother was allowed a room a few hours ago, haven’t heard from him directly but our dad said he’s aware.

I was expecting this to happen. My heart breaks for t who were going this month, but I know this was the right call. We are going 6/23-6/30. My hope is that we are still able to go and it is still 3. Months way, but e will be monitoring the situation. Fortunately for us, we were driving, and staying on property, some will be e to. R it’s without losing any vacation funds,

Ugh!! I’m so sorry for all of the employees and people with plans to visit over the next couple of weeks.

The news release says that Disney will continue to pay cast members so hopefully employees will be ok financially

Really going to be interesting to see how this plays out. DO they give them refund? DO they let them stay for free? .........

I'm devastated. Basically crying right now. I live locally, so it's not the trip part. I was supposed to have 3 of my best friends come down next week. I was so excite for them to get on Rise (huge star wars fans). I had personally been planning this for 3 months. I haven't seen them since Thanksgiving. Now, none of that is happening

I just wanted to see my friends

 

[DGsAtBLT]

I think the leaving the resorts open changes nothing for us point renters, right? Oh well.

My daughter is panicking. We are from Canada. She worked so hard to be accepted into the Cultural Exchange Program starting May 18th and who know what will happen with that.

Full time ones. There are tons of part time, subcontractors and tipped positions that are going to be in real financial trouble.
