    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    I would imaging someone has already confirmed this, but I just rode the Skyliner from DHS to Riviera and back. It's 97 degrees and humid enough to chew the air. I'm wearing a mask. It was pleasant and cool in the Skyliner, even when it slowed for loading folks needing assistance. In fact I...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I arrive at WDW in 2 weeks to the day, so we shall see. If the death count doesn't dramatically increase, I'll expect to see some of you there with me. Not too many though. The thought of walking down Main St. USA with a handful of other guests sounds awesome.

    Notice that his death rate for 7/9, the day of his tweet, was where the spike occurred? Funny how fewer people die on the weekends too... LOL. He seems like an agenda with a spreadsheet to me...

    Noted. The trend is obvious though, and with a potential 10 day lag, the data from 2 weeks prior should be complete.

    You lost me... Mine was an honest question. I'm a critical thinker by nature, and I like to look at all the evidence. If he has evidence that deaths are increasing, I'd like to see it. The evidence from the CDC is that: - Fewer than 200 people, age 24 and under, have died from COVID. -...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    I had 2 DVC rooms booked. We have a couple friends who were going to travel with us that didn't have APs. There was no chance they could buy tickets, so they cancelled. At least all my points were returned to me, even when cancelling under 30 days. They were pretty adamant about no ticket...

    Expected park attendance numbers?

    I just booked 6 days in the parks for late July and had my pick of parks every day. I'm hoping for light crowds, but don't really know what to expect. The fact that they are not allowing park-hopping has our options locked in for each day. If it's too busy, we'll go chill at the resort. May...

    Wow! Just came across this on the CDC website. (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/testing/serology-overview.html) What do your results mean? If you test positive A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. However...

    I don't want to leave the impression that we shouldn't take COVID seriously. I plan to visit my family over the 4th weekend. I'll have multiple family members that are in high-risk situations. I will be wearing a mask, and my kids will be wearing masks, whenever we are in close proximity to...

    Overwhelmed hospitals is a ploy. I have a friend who is an independent travelling doctor. He's licensed to work in multiple states. He works ERs and directly with COVID patients, when he's working. Right now, he's worried about getting work. He has only been able to book one week of the...

    Actually, I don't have to stop fixating on mortality. We use mortality as a measurement in many other places, and it works well here too. We don't tear up interstates because of injuries due to accidents, we don't burn down the forest because of side effects of Lyme disease, we don't close all...

    I like to tune out the noise and find real data whenever possible. There are too many agendas out there to get accurate information otherwise. The CDC just posted the most recent data on deaths up to 6/27/20. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#AgeAndSex As the medical...

    Why is construction still happening at Universal, but not Disney?

    ESPN is one of the big moneymakers for Disney, and they might as well be Turner Classic Movies right now.

    News Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    To say that they have practically no choice to borrow is wrong. I could get a new credit card tomorrow, at a very good rate, and spend the next month at Disney. That would be a very fun, but poor choice. Large corporations have the same option. Especially large corporations like Disney...

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    After watching the CNBC interview, my very unqualified reading between the lines: At the quarterly earnings meeting... Iger: I need to see the Q1 numbers for closing 2 parks and gutting EPCOT. Chapek: We're down about a $1 Billion. Maybe $1.5B. Iger: Guess who's in charge now? At...
