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?

I wouldn’t expect to see/hear anything until at least Monday, even that seems a bit early. This really says nothing other than “they weren’t waiting on the edge of their seats to turn in their plans”, which doesn’t really mean anything at all.That says it all. Ugggg

You mean somebody like us that might celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary at the place we spent our honeymoon? Yeah, nobody would do that.I don’t understand why they think opening hotels & resorts first makes sense? Who would go?

No I understand the reasoning from that standpoint. But it doesn’t seem worth the overhead to Disney.Ease into opening? Work out possible kinks with distancing & cleaning at resorts? It’ll probably be bloggers and other Disney starved Floridians if they do it. Not a ton of people but some would I think.
I lost track, are they actually doing this or just more speculation?
Without the parks? Why not go to a nice hotel?You mean somebody like us that might celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary at the place we spent our honeymoon? Yeah, nobody would do that.

ETA: that’s where we went for our honeymoon too. But, in this hypothetical situation, with no parks open, we would opt for an actual luxury hotel.
It’s all speculation. I don’t think there’s the slightest chance they open the resorts without the parks. Open the parks to resort guests only is probably more likely.I lost track, are they actually doing this or just more speculation?
People go for resort only stays all the time. Not everyone likes the same thing. I’d rather stay at a scenic themed disney hotel with interesting places to walk around and explore, and have basically no interested in fancy hotel with lots of amenities.
Doubtful.

No, the cm schedule that should come out this Sunday covers the week of may 24th. I don't think they'll call them this early for a June 8th opening, i think they'll call them back a week before, like they're doing for DSBased on the Governor's continued optimism at every press conference and the data I've been watching for our state I'm going to guesstimate they are shooting for a June 8 opening. I do not know for whom (whether FL residents only or resort guests or DVC, etc), but I think that's their target date.
Edit: We should know if that's the case on Sunday whether CMs get called back for park positions
I’m a DVC member, and even I won’t go unless parks are open. It isn’t worth it to me to travel to central Florida to hang out in a Disney hotel. I’d rather go to the beach.

I travel for business and stay in hotels on average over 100 nights a year and my company puts me up in nice hotels. When we go to Dis with just the wife and i, we usually are in a DVC one bedroom at OKW with plenty of room, large jacuzzi, great balcony and the resort has a great, peaceful vibe. After 35 plus trips the parks are fine but not necessary. Give me dinner dockside at the boathouse, a bottle of wine, an after dinner drink, a Minnie van back, a to go drink at gurgling suitcase, and a wonderful stroll back to the turtle pond room holding hands with Mrs. Tigger and I will be just fine thanks.Without the parks?

Alright guys - your best guess when are parks opening ?
