What is "rest of the month"Might as well say it again, Disney do the right thing close the rest of the month, don't be irresponsible and greedy.
Or they are closed now (right thing to do) and working on a plan to close longer to help themselves and employees (right thing to do)I think it is SHAMEFUL that Disney has not yet extended their closure dates. It is a glaring reminder to all of us that they care much more about money than they do human lives!
I think it's too soon to declare that. They currently aren't open. If they delay opening, which almost everyone believes they will, then they are still doing the right thing, they are just doing it in a way I think is annoying to customers and partners. We will see.I think it is SHAMEFUL that Disney has not yet extended their closure dates. It is a glaring reminder to all of us that they care much more about money than they do human lives!
What is "rest of the month"
That they are already
One of the problems, though, is: how soon is "too soon?"
I completely agree that people should avoid going to WDW for now. But no matter when the parks re-open, some will consider it "too soon." If they wait until July to re-open, is that too soon? October? January? 2022?
We're taking a wait and see approach for a previously scheduled trip in October. If things are still dire then (hopefully not), we'll end up cancelling. But (barring government mandates remaining in place) everyone will have to make their own assessment of how much things have improved and if it's enough improvement to go back to life as "normal."

Disney is doing the right thing. They closed and refunded everyone's money for the closure period. They are undoubtedly working right now to figure out how long they should stay closed- I don't think anyone believes they will reopen on April 1st. They are hemorraging money right now, but still trying to help out their customers as best they can. I'm often critical of Disney, but right now I think they're doing very well.I think it is SHAMEFUL that Disney has not yet extended their closure dates.

I think why some are upset is that Universal announced they are staying closed longer while Disney hasn't said anything. IMO they are doing that in hopes they do open so they don't lose all the money from the reservations. In my mind that's the not the right thing to do in this situation.While I think it would be bettter for everybody if Disney made a statement I don't see it is a shameful since at this time they haven't opened the parks or really taken any steps to do so (like schedules). Until they do no room to criticize. Just like I think the easter date to reopen the US is optimistic, no action has been taken yet so I'm not going to criticize until we see what things look like then and if actual action is taken that isn't safe then I'll criticize then.
Let's be honest though.. unless Disney starts taking action in the next day or two there is no way they could open on April 1 if they wanted to. Turning on a theme park and reesorts and restaurants isn't like flipping a switch.
And it's giving me hope that our May 16th trip can still happen. My head says no way, but my heart is optimistic. I just want to know. (Gee, I'm the lone ranger there...huh?!?!)

If it were me it would be to follow Universal and stay closed til the April 19th. I wouldn't reopen til the number of cases start dropping.It could also be they are trying to make a decision on how long to stay closed. Aprill 9th (stay at home order), April 19th like Universal, or end of April. So they could be trying to get more data to make the best decision on which date to pick.
That's a lot of judgement you're placing on Disney based on your own speculation of the situation with literally zero information.I think why some are upset is that Universal announced they are staying closed longer while Disney hasn't said anything.

Disney's already announced that they will cancel bookings through June free of charge, as are most airlines. You don't need to wait for them to make an announcement.For those of us with beginning of April reservations (April 2nd-5th, here), the lack of an announcement is adding stress to an already stressful situation. I am waiting for an announcement so that I can cancel, as I imagine that will make my refunds easier to handle (room/ticket package as well as Villains After Hours tickets), but if we still haven't heard anything in the next few hours, I'm going to call anyway. I also need to cancel airfare thru the carrier. #thanksDisney
How is it a lot of judgement? Universal had no issues updating people. To me it looks bad in Disney the longer they delay it.That's a lot of judgement you're placing on Disney based on your own speculation of the situation with literally zero information.
