    Disney to start Furloughs April 19th

    I think you can still get unemployment insurance when furloughed, although you have to show that you've applied to 3 jobs each week which is not helpful even when you are really looking for a new job, stacking up that many interviews at once for career positions. At least now no one is doing...

    Disney College Program for Fall Advantage Cancelled

    I'm not so sure I buy into these statements without any sources cited: + There are 12,000 CP's at any one time all year around + 50% of WDW employees are CP's + CP's steal CM's hours

    Disney College Program for Fall Advantage Cancelled

    It could be 5%, because there are not 12,000 CP's working all year long.

    Refunds or cancellations of Disney World Annual Passes

    My point is that Disney should be telling me, the passholder first. I'm the customer, not USA Today. I just got the general flyer email today from disneydestination, so 3 days after the fact. Nothing about my upcoming reservations. My finger is on the crenelation button and Disney doesn't care...

    Refunds or cancellations of Disney World Annual Passes

    Wow another vague general announcement that you can only find on social media. As a passholder with 2 future room reservations, I'd expect at least my own email that at least links to my account.

    New line etiquette?

    But these stations are behind bathroom doors and people you literally bump into along the way, so it's pointless you wash your hands and then touch another surface right after.

    New line etiquette?

    Lots of people use handwipes and sanitizers. Handwashing stations should replace drinking fountains.

    Is it greedy to hope there will be major discounts coming out due to the current situation?

    A rack rate to me is a back-up plan and only if not an insane rate. I agree that $400 a night is stupid, but people still pay it, especially those who do packages and don't really do the math. $6000 for a week is easier to swallow than realizing you are paying 4 times the rate of most hotels...

    New line etiquette?

    They could close every other queue line and every other seat, not have parades or shows, and they could restrict capacity by only allowing 1/3 of those in by reservation only. I'm sure this is what executives are discussing, but it doesn't sound very feasible or fair.

    New line etiquette?

    I wonder if in X months when Disney opens, if they will change "please use all available space" to "please stay 6 feet behind the party ahead of you?" I'm always annoyed at people stepping on my heels and yelling at me to move up for leaving space in front of me.

    Pyro techs are being asked to report on 3/29 for work..

    For some reason I'm seeing these nonsense posts being promoted on the RSS feed, instead of the usual wdwmagic articles. Even rumors should have cited references. I've never heard of fireworks expiring as long as they are kept dry.

    Epcot Construction

    Just another guess, Disney is not set-up to work on park construction remotely. These are such unique projects that a contractor is not going to know what some of these things are by just looking at some drawings.

    Is it greedy to hope there will be major discounts coming out due to the current situation?

    Waiting to book is not a good strategy. Book and then still look for discounts.

    Epcot Construction

    My guess is that while contractors/construction are still allowed to work, these larger commercial projects require a large office staff that is not coming into work.

    Rescheduling Question

    I would guess any number of things: availability is fluctuating a lot, the computers are slow so they can't check everything, or they were under a promo code that didn't have any availability under that rate. There's probably lots of rack rate available and Disney is happy for you to pay that...

    Refunds or cancellations of Disney World Annual Passes

    Disney isn't setup for customer relations management. They have no concept of loyalty. Did anyone get notified about their upcoming vacation? Maybe some reassurance or some credit for not cancelling? No because they don't know how to communicate. They send out general spam and hope one of your...

    April trips canceled by Disney?

    We cancelled a late May trip. No sense wasting time making fast passes for a trip that may never happen. It's also the highest rate I've ever paid for Pop (~$180) and I don't see Disney reaching out to loyal customers with incentives. Disney raised their rates and now they don't know what to do...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    The difference is there is more immunity and vaccine for flu. With this virus, there will be no vaccine for a long time and everyone gets it if you are exposed.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Maybe there will be big room discounts like a lot of the cruise lines are giving? Oops I forgot I'm in a Disney World discussion! :p Completely real chart personally sent to me by Bob Iger.
