    Politics 28000 Layoffs coming to Disney's domestic theme parks - statement from Josh D'Amaro

    More than fair, absolutely. Elizabeth Warren wears her “wall st sheriff” badge like a real badge and can get a little too over the top. So she is certainly piling on a lot with hindsight. I think the “do the right thing now” which is what she says when she speaks is where she should have...

    Politics 28000 Layoffs coming to Disney's domestic theme parks - statement from Josh D'Amaro

    First I’d like to just point to the fact you’re being a little condescending to others just because they read something in a different perspective than you. You are speaking as if your opinion of what Elizabeth Warren said is factual. Everything regarding politics is way too aggressive. My take...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Yes - this exactly. The problem with so many peoples perspective on this is “it’s not impacting me” but as soon as you lose just 1 person it goes from “it’s no big deal” to completely devastating. So far we’ve lost a million people globally. So that’s approximately a million...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Your “point” was 99.6%. Which is very different from 97%. If 100 million people get it, your point was “only” 600k will die (which is an unfathomable number of deaths...). But the fact is if 100 million people get it, it’s 3 million who will die. An even more unfathomable number. The reason...

    What's Still On and What's Now Off

    The Spanish Flu completely changed the landscape of Public Health across the world. It had incredibly far reaching impacts to every corner of the world, changed the way people thought about infectious disease, and there is a reason it’s been 100 years since an outbreak of that magnitude. Also...

    Reported Cases... And Deaths... of Those with CoronaVirus at WDW

    Asthmatic here. I’m legitimately terrified. I haven’t left the house in almost 3 weeks, son as been home from daycare for almost 2, we only do delivery groceries and wipe down everything we bring into the house. Still just terrified that something somehow will slip through the cracks...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Yep - I’m the same age, an asthmatic, and it just scares me so much. Let alone some of my older family members who have COPD and other health conditions. It’s so scary, so sad.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    At no point in time did I mention anything to do with the US regarding H1N1, not once did I say anything about it. The global deaths were roughly 500k, on nearly 1 billion people. Also, I misspoke, I meant a global healthCARE concern, meaning there was no risk to healthCARE systems - as in...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    People seriously need to stop thinking of this as H1N1. The two are not similar. Not even close. If we’re lucky enough to get out of this in the end with number of total deaths around H1N1, it’ll be because of the drastic, draconian measures taken. At this point the entire global economy is...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Because the death rate of H1N1 was an estimated .01% to .05%. That means if 1 billion people got it, roughly 500k people died. The death rate of this is 3.5% (and closer to 10% in Italy) meaning if 1 billion people get it, 35 million will die. That’s a substantial difference. This is also...

    College Program Help

    Not sure if this is already being discussed elsewhere or other things already in place, but I’m seeing so much on social media of college students in help and desperate right now. The hashtag #CPHelp has a lot of students scared right now. (I searched this site and didn’t see any results for...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I understand it's obviously an incredibly difficult decision because of You are correct, for about 80% of people who get it, it will not be much more than a mild inconvenience and that's great. However for about 10% of people it will be severe, needing hospitalization in "normal"...

    Help understanding DVC Resale with Direct Add-on

    I suppose I don’t really know why the perks are that important to me. It’s not even really financially because I don’t think we’d use it enough to breakeven. i guess it’s just a fear with the continued crackdown or limiting of perks to non direct buyers I worry long term not being an “official...

    Help understanding DVC Resale with Direct Add-on

    Thanks! So if I did 100 direct points + 100 resale points; does that more or less wind up being treated roughly the same as all 200 direct? Assuming I buy same resort and use year. Or is there still anything I potentially am losing? Thanks again!

    Help understanding DVC Resale with Direct Add-on

    Hi - I apologize that I know the DVC resale vs Direct has probably been discussed a lot, and there's a ton of information out there. My wife and I are considering buying into DVC, and I'm trying to understand one main point, I'm hoping someone can help me with. If we were to buy say 175 points...

    News Disney to offer discount on new MagicBand designs as an optional alternative to complimentary solid color MagicBands

    Has anyone been able to get this to work? I've been trying for like 3 months and every single time I get an error. It's so frustrating. I have a party of 6 going, and sometimes I can pick up to about 3 before it stops working. Never can get all six. And then when I go back the following day...

    AFC Championship Game

    I've watched a few divisional round games from ESPN bar. The biggest issue you'll run into is the Pats game is the second game. So you simply will not be able to get into the ESPN bar during the first game. It'll be pretty much closed off. However, it is likely as soon as the NFC championship...
