That's expecting a lot from Disney IT. They can barely get a website to work.The email is auto-generated and the jerks haven’t turned it off/re-programmed it.

I haven't even added mine up all, but 13 nights at OKW, Riviera and YC CL? It's a chunk of change even with the AP discount. I'd be amazed if they chose that route. They'd definitely lose my money. It's the only real requirement we have- parks have to be open and resort guests have to have the same assurances of park entry we've always had in some way.Yes my resort portion of the trip is $3700 alone. I’m not spending they with no parks. And I’m not flying or driving all the way to wdw for a 1 or 2 night stay.
For me, a lot would depend on whether the restaurants are operating. Would be sucky to go to AKL and not have the ability to have dinner at Jiko or a glass of wine at Victoria Falls or the wine bar. Same with WL.I probably wouldn’t stay a week at a deluxe but I could see myself staying a few nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge or Wilderness Lodge and being perfectly happy.
I don’t understand why they think opening hotels & resorts first makes sense? Who would go? I get they’re trying to open slowly, but who would pay Disney prices for at best mediocre hotels?
This is just the mayor speaking honestly I feel like. Not Disney. I just don’t see them opening resorts first either other then to ensure people have a few days to check in prior to the day they choose to open the park.
In his mind he may be thinking that’s best, but from a mindset of people who understand Disney it wouldn’t make sense.
Could be wrong of course I just really feel like that was the mayor giving his opinion on how he sees Disney opening. Or maybe that’s what he has been saying to Disney as the County’s recommendation.
I think some of the nation’s mayor are trying to make a name for themselves on the national stage. I know ours sure seems to be. She’s always got something to say above & beyond & then it changes when the governor announces things. I’m so over her.Demmings is all over the place sometimes. The day before Desantis announced initial reopening for May 4th, Demmings said he thought reopening on May 11th was ambitious and it would likely be later in May or June.
Thank you for sharing this.

My point was just because he said resorts would open first that doesn’t mean that’s what will happen. As a resident of Orange County, he is always rambling on and doesn’t always make sense.
Open the resorts, let guests get settled in, then “soft open” the Parks on a rolling basis with the few guests on property to test out the new Covid procedures. This gal has a June 18 reservation and is holding out hope!I can see the resorts opening a few days ahead of the parks (up to a week) to allow guests that need to travel to get settled in and to just start getting everyone (CMs and guests) used to the new health and safety procedures. But, I do not see an extensive phase of resorts open without the parks open.
I’ll add to that hope since we‘re 6/20!Open the resorts, let guests get settled in, then “soft open” the Parks on a rolling basis with the few guests on property to test out the new Covid procedures. This gal has a June 18 reservation and is holding out hope!
Very detailed guess! I like it...makes alot of sense to meJune 15: Florida residents/Gold AP (goal 25% max capacity)
July 1: Disney Resorts + Platinum AP (goal 50% max capacity)
July 15-Aug 1: “Full” opening (goal 75% max capacity)
