Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

I think Disney is counting on the Unions to really turn up the pressure on Newsom.

I know there was a bill one of the unions that represents some of the CM’s was trying to get passed. Newsom vetoed it, so now I wonder if they will try and push for a reopening....

Hollywood scoops opened a couple of weeks ago

California is calling Disney's bluff.. That statement that they put out blaming California/Newsom was and continues to be embarassing.

I wasn't a huge fan of Disney's wording in the letter to cast members about the layoffs either, seemingly blaming the California governments "unwillingness to ease restrictions" as a major reason for the layoffs. Sure, it may be true, but saying that in a letter that everyone will read almost makes it seem like "oh we didn't get our way? Well now you'll look like the bad guy when we lay off all our cast members!"

Except that some of the unions put pressure on the state to stop Disneyland’s proposed July reopening date. Will it be different this time? Maybe, but if I’m Disney, maybe isn’t good enough right now.

I'm starting to think that whoever wins the Super Bowl won't even have the option of "Going to Disneyland."

I could see the NFL going to a "bubble" for the playoffs so the Superbowl MVP might simple proclaim "I am getting our of this dang bubble!!!!"

Since the super bowl is in Tampa (unless that's changed) I think it would be smarter to go to WDW. Not sure they'll do a parade - so it may just be some sort of cavalcade. It'll be interesting to see when park reservations for MK dry up for the day after the super bowl.

"I am going to Disney World! ... Well, I mean, I couldn't get a park reservation, so guess more specifically Disney Springs!!!"

If Tampa is in the super bowl and wins, maybe they'll go to Dinosaur World.

Did anyone see Martin's new video of the Remmy ride in Paris? Man it looks fun! I am so hoping that they open it in time for our Christmas trip but I kind of doubt it.
Ride video starts around the 15 min mark

While it looks fun, IMO Velocicoaster likes way more impressive. Who doesn't want to go 70 mph in 2 seconds.

Of course...

The two don’t even compare. They service two completely different purposes. Discussing these two rides really doesn’t even belong in this thread to begin with.

Just arrived at DHS to record the last performance of the GFO. Wouldn't it be awesome they were allowed to play their favorite tunes? I know it won't happen but that would be a nice touch

They should close with My Melancholy Baby / Save Your Sorrow.

Lol what? You’re literally coming out of nowhere comparing two COMPLETELY different types of attractions. No one said anything about Rat being better than a rollercoaster that is still 7-10 months away from opening. And you’re also comparing two attractions you clearly haven’t ridden yet. I’m guessing the Universal Monsters ride at the now cancelled Epic Universe is also better than the Avengers Ride that hasn’t started being constructed yet at DCA too?

I was at Magic Kingdom this year (feels like years ago now), when Patrick Mahomes came through. It's only the MVP that comes, not the whole team anyway. It was super quick, more like a cavalcade. I have my reservation already for next year!

Just a heads up that ResortTV1 is doing a livestream from HS today - they'll stream the GF Orchestra's 4pm performance and their final performance at 6:15pm ET.
