China and South Korea didn't just lock people in their homes; they separated anyone infected from their family, even children. Italy is playing catch-up and is not doing this (yet?). The Daily had a good podcast today comparing the approaches in China, South Korea and Italy...

I don't understand how Disney and Universal remaining open would give the public faith, while entire countries are shutting down. It does the opposite to me. I live near Orlando and don't like the idea of keeping the parks open anymore. Beside the obvious problem of spreading the virus with all...

Maybe because the death rate of H1N1 was only 0.02% ?

The travel industry will recover. Large companies like Disney and United Airlines will be fine. The government can help small businesses. The (financial and human) cost of inaction could be far greater.

On January 25th China crossed 1,000 cases and that day they closed Shanghai Disneyland. The US now has just over 1,000 confirmed cases, but likely many more because of the few tests performed. I don't see how theme parks can stay open. This country needs to start getting serious about banning...

Apologies if this has been posted before. In this video, Bill Farmer (voice of Goofy) talks about the attraction and he mentions that there are easter eggs that don't happen all the time. He says: The relevant part about the easter eggs starts around 11:50. It's worth watching the whole...

I was at Hollywood Studios yesterday and washed my hands numerous times, but two restrooms I went to were out of soap. I tried all the dispensers. We had dinner at Docking Bay and they had a stand with an automatic disinfectant dispenser, like they have on cruise ships, but it was empty. I was...

I wonder if the parks were to close for a substantial amount of time, would construction and maintenance continue? It would be terrible, of course, but they could spend a good amount of time on getting RotR in better shape and all the Epcot work, even being able to do heavy construction and...

The characters are at Disney Springs in Florida today for a special meet and greet at AMC for people who attended the Disney Parks Blog special screening. We just met them and were told that after this they’re off to Disneyland.

Yes. I had closed all apps prior to 8:00 and that was the only one open. I swiped up to quit it twice.

I closed and reopened the app twice after 8:00 and it was still grey.

There was nothing to click though. The “Join Boarding Group” button was greyed out for me for over a minute after 8:00. When you refresh the Status page by pulling it down the time is shown at the top. When this changes from 7:59 to 8:00 I would expect the button to become clickable, but it...

Already got a message that they won’t be able to accommodate our group 98 today.

My wife and I started refreshing the app at 7:59 this morning. We couldn’t join a group while others around us cheered. I restarted the app twice and still the button was greyed out. Then my wife got group 98. I don’t understand how this works. WiFi wasn’t working at all so we were both on LTE...

Some pictures from Shanghai with the building visible behind. I didn’t notice it when we were there. It blended in well with the blue sky.

Yes, intersection of Overpass Rd and Avenue of the Stars.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I noticed at the Riviera Resort yesterday that the toilet paper is stamped with the RR logo. I thought that was pretty neat:

Yeah, there was no town crier today, as with the other show. A Cast Member just threw down the rope for us to stand behind and left.

It was great seeing this today. There were 10 showtimes on the sign. They only did the Paul Revere show today, and not the second show. It’s so good, I wish it would come back for good. I wonder what happens with the puppeteers who perform this show. Were they fired and brought back for this...
