Basic theories of economics and business strategy? There are easy levers to pull when demand is lagging - unless the bottom has completely fallen out. They aren't pulling them (yet), which tells me there is a business reason they have not done so. They are making an active choice here. They are...

They don't want the crowds. They know what they need to do to drive up attendance. They don't want to do it. It is a continuing choice.

I meant to say "not a Sheraton". Saying "this is probably a Westin" would have been simpler wording anyway. Sorry! Also, it is not like it really makes that big of a difference anymore. Swan and Dolphin are both in the same rewards category anyway. The Autograph Collection is an interesting...

Well at least now we know this is very likely a Sheraton Hotel. I don't think we knew that before. ETA: Clarifying a typo "very likely *NOT* a Sheraton Hotel."

Who also happens to be a Disney Legend?

This is me annually - except 2020 because no employer travel being approved. We usually just take the conference room at the Dolphin, but I could be tempted by an up charge to a family suite. We do really enjoy the high up night views of the BW and EPCOT though as well as the rear of HS. Would...

So is it going to essentially be a Springhill Suites with a good address then? [I like SH's a lot -- they work well for family travel.]

Literally no large, traded company is going to do this willingly. Certainly not one with enough reach to disrupt an entire state economy. Certainly not a company with enough PR power to become a national - if not international story. Certainly not a company that could move an entire sector's...

Did this thread topple Iger yet? Did I miss it? (sorry sorry sorry -- feeling sarcastic today)

Refunds go out in September

I am guessing they have no process for mass cancellation - kind of like they did not have a process for mass extensions - of annual passes. So they let people cancel but are not sure exactly how to shut off the passes.

I mean folks could keep arguing over how busy roads are based on the precise moment you attempted to cross them or you could look into Reedy Creek's actual data..... Start at (actual not numbered) page 83 of the document...

Getting a test is "easy". Getting a result is hard - impractically so.

The cabins generally go for north of $300 a night. Seeing prices over $400 per night currently. I would assume the cost of the unit is low compared to cost per room in a new resort build. It could make fine financial sense. Not saying they will do it or would be inclined to do it.

And/or bring in more cabins. Due to pandemic conditions (and into the future), I think a segment of the market is going to shift to wanting stand-alone units when they travel but are not necessarily going to camp.

None of this makes sense for a tested, seasoned multi-national company. This is the third or fourth thread claiming that Disney is flailing in panic and has zero capability for forecasting, scenario mapping, and disciplined decision making. This narrative simply does not make sense. If it were...

"Supposedly" according this OP. There is no independent confirmation of any of this. It is just rumor.

ETA: I do not doubt that source(s) made these claims. I just want to push on some of these points a bit. ----- I doubt it was a rouge committee. It may have been a group removed from the finances and design considerations, but they clearly had the authority to make the call. This sounds more...

Is this accurate based on your figures and refund amount? ((Price of AP+Taxes)/365) * (365 - [Number of days from first use to March 15])

Even if asymptomatic they still have an infectious disease. I don't understand victory lap are you trying to create and take here?
