IMO this is very poor long term foresight on the part of Disney. I understand their standpoint from a business point of view (I'm a business owner myself). However, considering the overall picture and their general financial capacity, there could have been much better alternative strategies...

Doesn't appear to have full availability at this time. Some resorts are not available at all and in some cases where the resort is available, certain room categories are not. At least for early Dec 2021 dates I am looking at. Are they slowly rolling out availability? Or are they anticipating...

Is this the "new character dining experience" we can expect to see indefinitely even once things return back to normal business as usual? Or is this the new business as usual standard where characters will only parade and there will no longer be physical interaction? Thoughts?

Ive been asking the same question the past few weeks. The 50th “season” is almost a year away. People want to book and plan (and feel the resumption of some degree of normality and excitement in their lives)

yes, correct. And I’m confident to say that all indications point that it will be an effective vaccine. And yes I am aware about the astra Zeneca pause. I think it’s fair to say that all trials of therapeutics experience similar side effects that are accounted for but typically rare. So...

Vaccine or bust. No government this late in the game will risk the negative scrutiny and accountability of relaxing restrictions prior to the arrival of a vaccine. Unfortunately, the type of society/world we live in will not allow for any type of flexibility regardless of the statistics or...

when do you expect us to reach herd immunity and in the interim while we wait to reach the necessary numbers, how do we address the global economic implications of further prolonged delay towards returning back To normal in how society functions?

My question to the anti vaccine crowd is the following: with a worldwide epidemic, what’s the alternative viable solution to end it outside of a viable and safe vaccine? I anticipate many will be anti the vaccine and I place no judgement on anyone’s personal believes or views. In fact...

Vaccine will be available by the end of the year and before 2021. But as you said it will take months to start transitioning back to a normal way of life. I still think late spring or summer 2021 we start seeing more expanded offerings at Disney and elsewhere in the world. I can't see them...

It's also possible they can pass emergency usage if the phase 3 trials are going off the charts well. Of course that would mean vaccines only accessible to essential front line workers and not the general public. But it seems fairly likely (I won't say certain) that there will be a vaccine...

yes this summarizes the key points. There will be economic damage but the vaccine will stop the bleeding. I except some permanent changes like we saw after 9/11 but I truly feel that once we have a vaccine and therapeutics we will be very close to back to normal. I’ve said it a bunch of times...

well said

Agreed that there will be minimal to moderate compliance probably at best, but why is it so hard to fathom that there won't be a vaccine and one relatively soon? It's really not so miraculous as some people are describing it. They've been studying Coronavirus for years. SarsCovid19 is a novel...

While all valid points, and I am in agreement that it will take close to a year to adequately vaccinate the entire population (excluding anti-vaccine crowd of course), my key point is that the government understands that they need to improve consumer confidence and just the fact that the vaccine...

The bigger question is when do we think Disney will release packages to book dates next fall that coincide with the 50th celebration? We are approaching the one year mark, I’m sure the masses want to plan their trips

Agree. personally, I have no prediction on the timeline as it relates to demand as that is a very fluid and complex situation considering the current state of affairs. However, I do personally believe Disney restores everything by spring/summer 2021 in hopes of starting to influence and...

I fully and wholeheartedly agree. But I predict all that will be restored by late spring or early summer 2021. I can't see Disney going through another fiscal year or "busy season" like this. They know they have to restore everything you've mentioned to regain the attendance level required to...

i feel like dinosaur can really freak some kids out.

Fair enough. I've personally came to my own conclusion that there are two type of insiders: 1) Those who have legitimate connections and information and use their information to help clarify things to readers and perhaps set appropriate expectations. 2) Those who have some degree of...

Serious question. What’s the point of insiders sharing information on the forums? What’s their benefit in doing so?
