All resorts were open for booking before any of this started. All guests who were booked in all closed resorts, non-NBA and NBA, were moved. My point is, there is zero proof YC, GF and CSR would be open right this very moment to regular guests if the NBA weren't there. There seems to be a lot of bellyaching going on that all guests were inconvenienced solely because the NBA is there and I just don't see it. There were plenty of guests who had to be moved from non-NBA resorts as well. In fact, it's very possible YC, GF and CSR will open to regular guests post-NBA BECAUSE the NBA was there as those resorts are now staffed, open and ready to go. If I recall a post from yulilin in another thread, she explained these resorts are staying open because the CMs are already there and working. If the NBA had never contracted the space, I think it's possible those resorts would not have opened and those CM's would still be furloughed. I think contracting with the NBA, bringing CM's back from furlough and then re-opening those resorts to regular guests is really a win-win. Again, I would hope people would open their minds a little here and think about all of the CMs who were able to go back to work because the NBA came back and how much money Disney was able to recoup not only from the rental of the WDW facilities but the ad $$ for ESPN and ABC. Maybe see the forest for the trees a little bit.
I'm not arguing the NBA shouldn't have come. I was all for it.
I think the bellyaching is if they do it again. It's a long-term commitment to tie up all those resorts for most of next year too when literally ANYTHING can happen with this virus.
