Glad to see the mods are censoring any criticism directed towards the CA government and their policies forcing Disney to close while allowing other theme parks in the area to operate unbothered, I'm sure that had no effect on all these layoffs........

I guess on the bright side, the overwhelmingly majority of layoffs are just part time workers

So is there a composite of average wait times across the days of the week? Seems like Saturdays/Sundays are by far the busiest but wanted to see which weekdays are usually the best to visit on

Insiders are wonderful at telling you what new attractions are coming or whether the new Mickey shirt is coming in blue or red. They're absolutely clueless when it comes to understanding the broader operations of one of the largest multinational companies on the planet and the subsequent...

All the doom and gloom insiders of late really not looking good right now. Disney is not on the verge of bankruptcy, they're not going to seriously entertain selling off the China parks to stay above water, this company is fine and all the insiders are vastly exaggerating things as evidenced by...

Those expecting the street to be surprised by anything in Disney's 10-K today are going to be extremely disappointed

The death count in FL and across the country has done nothing but accelerate upwards for the past 2 weeks since this post, new case count declining but consistently at around 9-10k a day. So where do we stand with shutting down all/some of the parks again? Also would imagine Trump banning...

If you thought the last 48 hours were bad just wait for the next 48, TX with a 50% daily case increase today and about 40% daily deaths increase. Obviously TX isn't FL but things seem to be trending downward very very quickly here in the last few days

Do the rising cases among cast members currently in the park that Disney is trying to keep hush hush going to move the needle for this decision or is it strictly looking at the death rate?

Everyone here is focusing on all the wrong markers, the rising case count/hospitalizations don't matter to Disney, all they care about is politically whether or not the governor is going to shut them down, thats the only thing that will cause them to close

Disney's decision has been to not make a decision, they are deferring everything to state/city officials and will do everything they can to keep the parks open until the government tells them to close.

What markers are they looking at to decide go/no go? Beyond the obvious county/state government shutting them down

Florida just closed all bars, I do not see how Disney can argue bars shouldn't be open but theme parks should

Bahahah what a show, going to be hard to sell "happiest place on earth" with these kind of restrictions until Sept/Aug as planned. Parks are going to be unrecognizable for the rest of 2020

This is a big deal and not for the immediately obvious reasons. Trying to rehire and retrain these employees when the parks eventually open up is a nightmare. Re-opening the parks is quite literally going to be like opening them for the first time

These employees are going to be making more money on unemployment than if they were working while also getting to keep access to their benefits while being furloughed. They'll be fine. The trick will be trying to get them to come back to work when this is all over

Disney really needs to go ahead start the next round of mass layoffs. No reason to be paying these cast members when they get more money from unemployment than if they were working

Many more mass layoffs to come

Today is the 2nd day of mass layoffs, with all entertainment acts in World Showcase being let go, there's a lot more to come folks

Anyone who thinks Disney is going to work on maintenance and construction during the shutdown is extremely naive. The parks are hemorrhaging money and any meaningful new capex investment in the parks is going to be nonexistent for years. They've already started the mass layoffs with the CP and...
