No clue but someone floated the idea past me yesterday that it won't reopen until the construction pit in the middle of "World Celebration" is reaching some point where they could say they're done with it for now.

I'm thinking that they may have floated it deliberately to prepare the way for what they really want to do. "Well, we could have done an outright travel ban, but instead we're ..."

I think there are some serious gaps, but regardless, the fact is that the governor cut the legs out from under these mandates. The only way to enforce them to is arrest violators, which forces police to suffer being presented in the press as responding to violations out of proportion to the...

The point is that they have done as much as Walt did for the company, if not individually at least collectively. Pile on top of Eisner and Iger, Jobs, Feige and Lucas, and Disney's most passionate supporters are going to eventually have to come to grips with the fact that the company that bears...

They just announced the first Phase 1C vaccinations here in Florida, but I don't qualify because Florida is only considering a limited set of the conditions set forth in Phase 1C to be part of Florida's Phase 1C vaccine distribution. :(

You are mistaken. Congress has already provided the authority.

No question that blogs and website are trying to incite panic to drive more clicks to their pages and therefore more advertising revenue to their coiffeurs. However, the White House saying that "no specific decisions are under consideration" is similar to Disney saying that "we have no specific...

So you don't think compliance has something to do with effectiveness? Interesting thought.

Yes. Operating resources practically empty because of a schedule that is not crafted based on a reliable source of demand is irresponsible. Airlines and trains and buses look at historical usage patterns and remove service that is underutilized so that most of their flights/trains/buses are as...

And that is the point: It isn't mandates that fights the pandemic; it is compliance with mandates that does that. California has more stringent rules than Florida, and has 1/3 as many new cases per capita, so clearly they're doing better than we are, but they could still do better because they...

That's not the question though. The question is whether a non-essential air travel ban would hold up in court. It would. Federal officials do have powers to restrict travel between states during a pandemic, according to the Public Health Service Act. It's law on the books.

This is weird. I'm pretty sure I saw a website that was soliciting applications in Italy.

The major cruise lines shed a whole mess of ships during 2020. They know it'll be years and years before they get back up to 2019 levels.

They've already shut down "non-essential boat travel" (read: cruises) under their jurisdiction. They absolutely have the power and right to do so with regard to non-essential traffic by airline or by train if they wish. Will they? Perhaps. It depends on whether the pandemic trends reverse again...

Once a Magic Band has been linked to a person's identity, there is no way to link it to someone else's identity (even if it is due to a mistake made by a Disney cast member). You can of course have her wear one of your magic bands, but it'll have the same charging privileges as yours (i.e., if...

I view going to a movie theater as an unnecessary risk, even pre-pandemic. As my home theater has gotten better and better over the years, movie theaters have not kept up. (Most notably, they never installed the all-too-important-as-you-get-older Pause button.) Flying on an airplane without the...

My recommendation is to look at it as an opportunity to have a meal at one of the wonderful Magic Kingdom Resort restaurants, since the monorail makes it so convenient to get to The Contemporary or the Grand Floridian at this time. About Tony's: Tony's Town Tavern was incredibly disappointing...

They have said that they won't be recasting the role of T'Challa.

Which is what they want.

And so Mears can look at the historical data of how many passengers were on the buses at various times during the day, and put together a schedule that will eliminate runs that aren't profitable.
