    Politics 28000 Layoffs coming to Disney's domestic theme parks - statement from Josh D'Amaro

    Fair enough on Chapek, should have been left out of thread. I will say that IMO, it will give him license to make cuts or not bring back certain things. His reputation precedes the pandemic. It will be interesting to see what Disney World and the Parks look like in 2022 and 2023 (and forward)...

    Politics 28000 Layoffs coming to Disney's domestic theme parks - statement from Josh D'Amaro

    1- its not like the people who are impacted, found out yet. 2-there are legal requirements of public notice. 3-with Disneyland closed, Paris closed, WDW max 35% capacity, large % of hotel rooms closed, no international travel, it is not surprise. Of course having Chapek in charge doesnt help.

    Politics 28000 Layoffs coming to Disney's domestic theme parks - statement from Josh D'Amaro

    No company or employer can just continue without layoffs/dismissals. The only reason many companies were able to delay cutbacks was the Federal payroll protection and other $$$ that was made available. I think we will unfortunately see more of this as industries and companies struggle. As...

    News Refurbishment coming soon to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort - Moana details to be included

    Why would you judge what its going to look like based on what it looks like while they demo?!? If this forum existed when they were building DIsney World, there would be complaining about the big hole being dug between the Poly and Magic Kingdom. Based on artwork, which I know may not be...

    News Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin to eliminate 1136 employees

    The worst is yet to come. As layoffs become terminations, as health insurance ends, as the virus 2nd wave comes at some point. Airline and tourist industry which relied on Federal money to keep things going will continue to struggle. For Orlando, many roadside hotels will shutter, as will...

    Disney Springs Mask Enforcement

    I didn’t read the 19 pages but did skim. 1-If you dont feel safe, dont go. 2-Photos of people sitting and not near anyone taking their masks off is not a life threatening concern. 3-I do wear a mask when on stores and in crowded areas. 4-Someone taking a mask off while social distancing is not...

    When did the Polynesian get so expensive?

    IMO opinion another reason for the price jump, the number of rooms have been cut down with so many now DVC. While yes you can rent from an owner, the average guest doesn't do that. Reducing regular rooms means being able to drive the price higher. I havent looked to WL but I would suspect...

    No more loose ice starting May 1

    Not a big deal, people need something to complain about. Does it alter the behavior of a very small % of people visiting parks, yes. People will need to adjust. There are options for people with meds.

    News WDW Resorts to add fees for parking

    Two different issues. 1- In regards to parking fees, no matter where I stay, no matter what I am paying, I despise parking fees. Especially when its just parking lot. I understand a bit more if it is a garage, especially in a n urban environment. 2- In regards to resort fees. Not a fan...

    News Disney considering a service like Uber at WDW - Confirmed as Minnie Van

    I used the Minnie Van on our trip over the Summer, it was fine. We used it to get to Ft Wilderness, which we didnt realize got us all the way inside to walking distance to Trails End restaurant. The driver said they have the ability to drive in areas that others (Uber, Taxi, etc) cant. Not...
