When WDW re-opens, do you expect there to be a price hike, to try and make up for their lack of park revenue? Or tons of discounts, because it will be awhile before people start to feel safe coming back?
People seem to think the parks will be packed this summer if they reopen. I'm not so sure. There are people with financial problems plus people who might be nervous due to fear of illness. There will be room discounts. If the economy rebounds, I see next year being more crowded, especially with the 50th.
I doubt they will discount the rooms. I have a reservation I made a few weeks ago incase April got cancelled and it did. My trip is May 21st - 30th YC, CL Standard View. After tax it is $5105.66 with my PH discount. I just tried to add one day and with PH discount it took my total, after tax to $6895.42 If I try to book the same reservation with my PH discount the total before tax is $6006.74 so before tax is much higher than my reservation after tax. They have clearly raised the price over the last few weeks. I'm glad I booked it when I did but it is Disney. They can change it again 5 times in the next month.Tickets prices will be the same but I expect a lot of discounts off rack rates though and likely more incentives like free dining will get added. .
Disney is self insured.I really think Disney may be covered by insurance to a degree for closures. After all, they are in a hurricane zone. There may be contingencies covering this type of occurrence.
