I afraid come August and into the fall, we will still be posting in this thread and seeing how naive we were in April regarding the parks opening, Unless they can come up with good anti-virals to treat. It realistically is not viable to have the parks with large crowds being open, even with virtual queues, everyone wearing a mask etc. It would start everything back over again, having to go back into safer at home and be disaster to the economy. The government at whatever level will not allow that to happen.
The Asian parks aren't even near talking about opening and they are at least two months ahead of the US. That already puts us into June.
This. Quite honestly, I think any trip in 2020 is wash out, unless we get a firm treatment available. Don't get me wrong - I think Disney will re-open sometime in 2020 (not before summer), and I know people will go, but I don't think they'll be running at full capacity. There'll be a lot of stuff closed/reduced. I'm honestly worried about our June 2021 trip, if Disney will be fully recovered by then with all entertainment and rides up and running. It sounds a long way off and inconceivable, but it's only 14 months away, and all experts are predicting 18+ months for a vaccine, and almost all are predicting a second wave with the next flu season (which runs Oct-May, with the peak being Dec-March) - so, that will definitely affect them, as well.
