While I agree Florida still continue to run at only about a 10% positive:test rate. If the virus was truly running rampant in the state those numbers would be 2-3 times higher.

Looking at Florida’s data through today I find it fascinating that the spread/infection rate in Florida has been very mild and far below what the genius models were projecting weeks ago. Obviously doesn’t mean we’re completely out of the woods yet but it’s a good sign. That being said I wouldn’t...

Much better than in Ohio. At his pace I won’t be able to get my hair cut until October. But I digress... This plan is realistic and rewards the right behaviors. More states should follow this guidance.

Florida continues to show really strong data when it comes to COVID cases. Still running at below a 10% positive/test ratio and continuing to see a low level of positive results each day. I wouldn’t be surprised if the parks open before the resorts to encourage local only attendance for a few...

Thanks for your input that literally nobody asked for in a thread regarding DVC points.

Those who were planning on using borrowed points in 2021 sure got hosed on this deal. Also, I’d argue that DVC isn’t helping with the backlog of points but rather just setting up for a larger backlog in 2022. Additionally, good luck reselling a stripped contract right now. Disney doesn’t often...

The more I think about it the more I’m in favor of reopening WDW for Florida residents only for the first few weeks. (I’m not a FL resident) The spread of the virus among Floridians has been fairly insignificant compared to other heavily populated states. Why risk bringing the virus into the...

That’s the financial markets in a nutshell. Always forward looking and pricing in the worst case scenario. Yet another reason Disney needs to open ASAP to get their revenues back on track.

I refuse because I firmly believe wearing a mask does more harm than good. Part of building a strong and effective immune system is exposing yourself to small amounts of pathogens so your body can effectively learn how to fight them off. Sure a mask lowers your chances of contracting the virus...

Interesting news this AM as more COVID tests and anti body tests are showing upwards of 25% of people may be asymptomatic. While they may indeed spread the virus without knowing it also poses an interesting question... what is the true denominator of deaths/cases? We have heard the number to...

I legit changed my answer 4 times before I cast my final vote. I think that’s just how phenomenal that attraction was IMO.

True that the daily profitability of DVC guests is probably fairly low however don’t forget that they pay annual dues on their points.

Ah yes. Sorry I didn’t realize I hit the “reply” link. Complete agreement and just adding a point or two.

Resort guests only attendance means both crowd control and absolute peak profitability per guest. I have a feeling this will be the operating procedure for the majority of the summer and perhaps into the fall. And before the locals throw rotten tomatoes at me... there’s always the option to nab...

Fingers crossed on this encouraging data! An effective therapeutic would be an absolute game changer and would get the parks reopen a lot sooner. https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/16/early-peek-at-data-on-gilead-coronavirus-drug-suggests-patients-are-responding-to-treatment/

A few encouraging pieces of news over the last couple of days: 1) they continue to trace COVID cases back to as early as the first week of January in the United States. We are on the brink of discovering that this virus has had far more community spread than we ever anticipated and the herd...

I understand your viewpoint but Disney needs to accomplish two things upon reopening: 1) limit overcrowding and 2) maximize profitability. That is best accomplished by limiting parks to resort guests only for a period of time. It’s not Disney’s responsibility to ensure off site hotels survive.

There are literally hundreds of viruses without a vaccine. Heck event the seasonal flu doesn’t have a vaccine that’s bulletproof. If this is your stance you may be waiting an incredibly long time to return to Disney. Therapeutics are much more likely so hopefully that will do for you.

I would have no issue traveling in June IMO. I believe what we are going to find in the coming weeks is there is a profound amount of people that already have developed antibodies to the virus. This will drastically reduce the risk of community spread in the near future. Additionally, I remain...
