Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[DonMa]

Yeah, plus this would be more teams so might be tough to do all at one location. Maybe do the East at WDW and the West at Vegas or something

I don’t know...this was a limited amount of games with only a few games before the playoff tourney. Getting the players to agree to a full season bubble? That would be a big ask. I think since baseball pulled off a regular season (albeit reduced) without a bubble and the NFL is attempting to do so would

This basically limits it to local APs which makes me wonder how they’re going to make any real money.

Right...wonder if it would be at all cost effective to incur reopening expenses for such a limited clientele...

I think they should reopen. It will put cast members to work and be in a better position to more fully open after November 3. Disney will make money. DL has been a locals theme park for quite awhile. When I lived in California the kids from school went every weekend. The park was always quite busy with mainly locals. The pent up demand will see them through the next few weeks.

KTP is waaay late to that party. Literally the first part of her tip has already failed to materialize.

I was thinking about this last night and it was a bit reminiscent of the Minnie Vans are gone forever debacle (blogger/Disney journo got trolled). A couple very questionable things (guidance released at night, radius restriction) and only one source broadcasting the rumor. I’m thinking it probably shouldn’t have passed the sniff test when I saw it last night...

Idk what % of locals who visit are AP holders. My MIL lives near Santa Barbara, and I know she and her husband have been somewhat itching for things to do (lots of businesses have been closed). They're not AP holders but do go down to DLR for long weekends, and I wouldn't be the least surprised if they go (if they're within the radius of those allowed to visit).

Unfortunately not completely unexpected, that is only a little over 2 weeks away.

I've realized that I've been incredibly naive this entire year. When WDW first closed, I figured things would be back to normal by the fall. After realizing that wasn't true, I couldn't wait for things to be back to normal by next year. With all of these layoffs, clearly things will undeniably be different moving forward. Everything we knew as true back in January, may not return. My heart is breaking for the countless people affected. My social media feeds are full of sad stories of CM's losing their jobs and benefits. Sending lots of positive energy and love to all.

CA reopening guidance has gone from coming "soon" to coming "this week."

And, it just dawned on me that it's Thursday, so...

Yep. It's going to a long time to rebuild it all, but it will come back.

It isn't coming back anytime soon at least.

Demolish the building and start over. Or make a giant park so people can come and bring grills in and make hot dogs.

Maybe build an attraction with an array of virtual reality games, fantasy adventure games and classic arcade games...

What, like on several levels? Maybe with some classic disney references thrown in as well?


That sounds awesome!

You could even put one in Chicago
