If that’s true how will things be when they reopen? That’s a lot of money that they will lose. Crazy. Will they even be able to reopen?

 

[goofynut41]

Oh its Disney.. they will reopen.. just when?

Where did you see this info? Per Disney, they are telling their furloughed workers that they don't expect to furlough them for more than six months -- that's before January. There's more about this on the Rumors board, you may want to check that out.

ETA: Nevermind -- I see you're already in on that discussion!

This info seems to be coming from economic sources and based on today’s drop in disney stock prices on the NSE. Down 3% according to various financial publications.

I think we are all wishful thinking and hoping this virus mess goes away..

Today, the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force laid out preliminary plans for eventually reopening the Orlando area amid concerns of coronavirus. The initial reports state that businesses will not just be allowed to re-open when the stay at home orders expire this Thursday. Instead, there will be phased opening that MAY begin as early as May 11, but even that date is still up on the air.

Does anyone know if they are doing a remodel during this downtime?

Does anyone know if they are doing a remodel during this downtime?

I read somewhere else that it had stopped during this time.

Why is it difficult to find an open room at WL?? Are they remodeling?

Why is it difficult to find an open room at WL?? Are they remodeling?

Maybe they are booked? Or maybe they have reduced the number of rooms available in anticipation of the reduced park capacity.

I read somewhere else that it had stopped during this time.

100% Correct, all work was stopped in March. Disney is in cash saving mode due to ~91% reduction in revenues.

The WL is often booked solid many times of the year. And as a reminder there are only about 360 rooms left after the conversion of 1/2 of the main building into CCV.

Rooms have been popping up from time to time. Keep checking, and what time period are you looking for? There was availability in the summer / fall but that got booked by the rescheduled vacations that were cancelled.

We decided to reschedule our July 2020 reservations. We rebooked BC prior to our April 2021 cruise on the Fantasy (with a backup of changing it to a split DW stay depending on how things are then).

But we are staying at the WL again May 2021 to celebrate my 35th birthday .

How do BC and WL compare? Anyone been to both? I’m excited about trying a new resort!
