Yep.

No way that anyone knows a date at all. This is literally a day to day thing.
I know a lot of you actually know things for sure, after all you state it as a fact. I never said it was a for sure thing. If I read back at what I wrote it does say "tentatively the 19th of May" which to me means not for sure, just a tentative date. I'm sure Disney is throwing around dates without anything concrete but anyway, I should know better than to post anything I hear. It always turns into this.
 
I was just sharing what I was told. Same person told me TSL opening date and was right. You can see where I posted it and I was told I was wrong but turns out I wasn't so …. Either way, Thanks for letting me know they are wrong. Glad you actually know for sure.
This isnt TSL. And your friend wasnt the only one who knew the date. Just some people were smart enough not to run to boards and post it for attention. This is a fluid situation and I can guarantee you, your friend is wrong and at the moment there is no "date" or even a target date. Your friend overheard something and took it completely out of context and likely was listening to something they shouldnt have been anyway.

Tone is hard to convey on the internet, but I just read this in my *best* parenting voice!
 
News from Disneyland Paris, after the cancellation of the Disneyland Paris Princess Run (8-10MAY), now also the Marvel season (28MAR-7JUN) will no longer happen.
There is no news yet about other events: Disneyland Paris Pride (6JUN), Electroland (3-5JUL) and The Lion King & Jungle Book Festival (20JUN - 13SEP).
 
My state is under stay at home orders and all non life sustaining businesses have been closed. However, it seems that people are not practicing the social distancing thing. On nice days there are people everywhere in parks, walking in town, kids from different families playing together, etc. Officially the parks and playgrounds are closed but there is no enforcement and everyone ignores it. I am not sure how effective social distancing will truly be if these activities are still allowed. And in the meantime 2/3rds of my extended family have lost their jobs.
I feel you. I got laid off, my wife is in healthcare but the doctors offices are not seeing as many patients so they are cutting hours heavily. I have 3 relatives who work at Disney, 2 are front line CMs in either park or call center and 1 is in management. We expect the park CMS to get furloughed april 18th the call center to remain open and obviously management isnt going anywhere. And I have another relative in management at universal who isnt going anywhere, though his wife works at one of the restaurants on City Walk and is currently not working. This is hitting everyone pretty hard yet people still dont want to follow suggested distancing and public gathering guidelines. Its irresponsible and selfish.
 
Remy is right, opening in late was just a internal talking point at best, like a stretch goal but at this point. Remember last week , when this goal probably was being discussed, some on here were thinking they were going to make their trip next week, no problem.

I do think if they do try to open in mid June you might see a mandate to wear a mask at all times and temperature checks going in, if Disney doesn’t want to do that (not a great disney experience) they open will be later this summer.
 
Guys, I have no intention of closing this thread but I will if I have too. I’ve said it several times already but this thread is not for discussing vaccines, possible drugs, churches, politics, and anything else like that. This thread is for discussing what the theme parks are doing or what we think they might do in the future.

I'm trying this again, because I have no idea why my reply was deleted.

Please don't be upset with my post. Things change so much I just think they should not have thrown a date out like that. I know you are ready to get back to WDW, just like everyone else. This whole thing is tough.

I 100% agree and understand, can you at least direct us where we are able to have this conversation? On the Community board, I don't see an official thread for this sort of discussion.

Churches perhaps not, but drugs, vaccines, distancing measures etc... all have a very real impact on the future operations of WDW/DL, as most realize.
 
FYI

Disney executives are receiving pay cuts at the company looks to save as much money as possible during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) closures. The pay cuts are as follows:
  • Bob Iger – Forgoing entire salary
  • Bob Chapek – 50% pay cut
  • Executive Vice Presidents – 30% pay cut
  • Senior Vice Presidents – 25% pay cut
  • Vice Presidents – 20% pay cut

According to sources, the pay cuts will go into effect April 5th.

True, but in support of mods, those specific topics go off the rails super fast and the thread becomes full of statistics, graphs and numbers battles. There are numerous and plenty of other places on the web to have those discussions. Keeping it to just Disney Parks here is appreciated. Thank you mods.
 
Serious question.. where you live, would you say that the stay at home, self isolate, shelter in place or quarantine is being practiced & to what degree?

I ask because without full compliance to the order, the chance of controlling the spread is minimal at best.

If the numbers are to be kept in check to give the medical system a fighting chance to save lives.. everyone must understand that the spread is inevitable and do their part.

1. This shouldn’t even need to be said, but a pandemic is a vastly different situation than a land opening.
2. Of course projections are just projections, but FL is far from peak. Most likely mid-May. Even if it peaks early there, will be nowhere close to over in mid-May. If WDW opens as FL is hitting or just barely over peak, I will be completely shocked and disgusted.
3. I am sure there are people internally pushing aggressive reopening dates. But I would not tell people that their May vacations “should be fine” in an incredibly fluid day by day, week by week situation. Nobody’s vacation is fine until Disney announces a reopening date.

In depth discussions on drugs and vaccines are not relevant to this thread. Saying you won’t travel to WDW until there is a vaccine is one thing. Sharing medical information and links is not something we should be doing here. This is not a medical forum.
