Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Hawkeye_2018]

Being in a confined indoor space with the same air being circulated around is much different than out in an open-air theme park. Of course people should be cautious with any large gathering, but this is much much better than being stuck on a boat.

At least half the attractions are in confined indoor spaces

Guess we’re treating this like the plague now. Oh well, better just go with the flow.

...don't stop living your LIFE....... There will be more days to come at the parks where this is not your primary concern..... Spring is coming....get out and look for hopeful signs!

Can I just jump in to say that I am GLAD to see that most of our resident airchair epidemiologists have gone silent with their "whattabout the flu???" posts?

The problem with unemployment is that it doesn’t make up what you lose. Here it maxes out at $275 a week. Our Disney income is much higher than that

No posts on the Disney Parks Blog today, I would anticipate a reaction from the company soon. They could range from temporarily suspending Cruise Line and theme park operations to offering full refunds now and a suspension later.

Am I concerned? Sure.
Am I a doom and gloom panic monger like 90% of the people spamming this thread? No
The chicken littles have run off the sane people

I assure you, according to the CDC, that percentage is way off. Or was it the WHO? Maybe Whoville? Whatever, I have a chart somewhere.

Well, the silver lining for me is that if the parks are closed, I’ll be saving money.

Maybe, but I don't think they will close unless a mandatory ban is put in place on large gatherings.

More time for me to finally save up for those Polynesian cabanas. Ok, this I can get on board with.

Do you really think that's the only way they'll close? Maybe I won't cancel after all...

Under that logic you are admitting you are insane.

The A Quiet Place sequel has also been delayed.

more than 100 Americans lose their life in automobile crashes every day, yet I see people racing down the road in a 5K lb. death machine while staring at their phone screen and typing up a post in online forums about how deadly the COVID19 is. SMH. The irony is not lost on me.

Give immunocompromised folk and elderly some space, keep yourself clean, and maybe save the worry for what you are more likely die from.

With all that being said, any guesses as to when we'll begin to see reduced attendance in the parks? Fear is a mighty powerful emotion, and so is the constant onslaught of media coverage and social media spitballing.

There are other ways to help stimulate the economy for the time being....
