Quarantine after Disney? No, I live about 20 minutes from WDW, in a neighboring county. My county is not as strict as Orange County because our infection rate is much lower, but my job is in Orange County like Disney, so I have been following the more restrictive orders just to be safe while at home. At least that is one thing I don’t have to be concerned about right now.
Of course you are not wrong. It’s a difficult balancing act. What’s the solution? The horse is somewhat out of the barn now. The solution was to open cautiously, and following the recommendations and not rush things open. Because as bad as it sucked to grind everything to a halt, it will be even worse if it has to be shut down again. And even if it’s true that places will “never” shut down again the quarantine orders getting thrown up all over the country are almost as bad for tourism. Maybe it’s even worse than a shut down. Because consumer confidence is also being shot to hell. And if they are incurring operating expenses without rising revenues you could argue its worse. It was never a binary choice: open or don’t. It was all about how to open.
Fla moved into this phase too quickly
Not sure that was ever confirmed.
Its not forever. Once cases start going down you move to the next phase and start opening things. That's how you adapt. Do it slowly and safely.
Again I hear you but is the current course really working for the economy? Just saw UO lay off a ton of people and they’ve been open almost a month. Like I said is it simply a case of being open or is there more to it? You still have to get traffic coming in the door. Once you have it under control in a region you open local spots, people begin to spend and stuff loosens up. Consumer confidence/spending increases as prevalence of virus decreases. Should they have opened WDW only for in staye/Aps & DVC? Is that too slow for an over the top, dependent on tourism economy? I am not smart enough to crunch those numbers and know the answer. I have not heard too much about other economies, and know this is a Wdw board, but how are places like vegas and Hawaii getting by? Rhetorical question I know...
Yeah.. I am super bummed about Garden Grill having no breakfast (that sticky bun bake!), and especially about Be Our Guest lunch.
Miami/Dade were still in phase 1. The rest of FL moved into phase 2 after a month of stable numbers.
I have shopped in Alachua and they have required it since the beginning. You cannot walk into a store there without one.
It is true. It's because being open or being closed doesn't stop stupid people from being stupid.If this is true, it makes no sense why Miami/Dade is showing the highest numbers
NOT ridiculous at all! Let's have dessert first. If we have room, we can add an entree.Yep, I felt a little sad, no Ohana.
SAME! Trying several new places! We have 10 days worth of meals needed and I prefer TS so I know we will have some place to sit.
I am ridiculous, though, and have to scope out the desserts offered too
