    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    The utility of the vaccine card is to 1. Identify that you took an approved for emergency use only vaccine; 2. The agency administering it; 3. When you took it; and 4. The lot numbers. All of this is useful if there is an issue (eg a location giving out expired vaccines, or a particular kit...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    Hmmm... this doesn't track.... If they're losing money it's by having the park reservation system which is limiting park access. Not saying that some people aren't staying away because of masks, but Universal is packed and they don't require a reservation. Seaworld does, but it looks pretty...

    Possibly. Although I don’t generally wear masks at home, indoors around my family. Homes I wasn’t expecting him to say anything about masks today;

    News Magic Kingdom and Epcot Fireworks to Resume July 1st

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I can see where the first sentence had "and closed permanently on..." backed out, but I don't see any references to a reopening date of July 21, 2021 in wikipedia edits. (although I do see dates for July 4, 2022 and March 17, 2021)

    There is a huge difference between those two, however Dr Fauci is raising the question that it was not created naturally... per CNN: "Dr. Anthony Fauci told the Poynter Institute on May 11 that he wasn't totally convinced that Covid-19 developed naturally" - That said, there's a big...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I've got a little exception here-- the issue is not "immune compromised" people. I'm honestly not worried about them and I'm one of them. When your immune system is compromised, you've got to make some hard choices and take responsibility for yourself just like you/we did pre-covid. I don't...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    While several announcements have been made in the past (like the Buffalo Bills requiring such passports), with the current CDC guidance there's no guarantee that's going to still hold going forward. With many stadiums already opening up for full capacity and many of them maskless now, I think...

    Disney’s Q2 (Jan/Feb/Mar) FY 2021 Earnings Results Webcast on Thursday, May 13, 4:30ET.

    When he said ... "Is very big news for us, particularly if anybody's been in Florida in the middle of the summer with a mask on. That could be quite daunting. So we think that's going to make for an even more pleasant experience..." with regards to masks, that implies that a change is coming.

    Required Disclosure: I am not speaking for my employer. The NY State Excelsior program is build around IBM's Digital Health Pass, with which I am intimately aware. It is explicitly built to allow for a federated set of connected verifiers (eg: various states, labs, pharmacies, doctors, etc)...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    We're scheduled to go to Hawaii the beginning of October for a couple of weeks. They're one of the few states that seem to have a fairly strict entry policy -- either present with a valid completed vaccination series that is no older than 3 months, or bring a negative test that is no more than...

    News Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon to remain closed until March 2021

    They've generally had one mini-golf open for a while now, the first up was Fantasia Gardens, then that closed and they opened Winter Summer Land (next to Blizzard Beach), now they're back to Fantasia Gardens again. We did Winter Summer Land in November.

    News Evermore Orlando Resort - new billion-dollar, 10,000-room resort project is coming right next to Walt Disney World

    I think I'd take that bet -- assuming they've actually signed Hilton / Conrad. The initial build out is only for 1500 total bed rooms (presumably to include the Conrad). That seems plausible for a late 2023 (2024 with slippage) rollout. That's a bit over half the total rooms that Pop Century...
