it doesn't take a genius to understand that the economy is still hurt if a lot of people are put out of work or die

I hope you're right. And I'll be there celebrating at WDW with you in September. I predict it will be crowded, but at this point, that's OK.
Just in case, though, I've been very hesitant to think about ADRs and FP+s yet.

I had to do this 2 years ago and it was a great surprise. Also, if you do end up going to water parks they're most likely empty during October. Volcano Bay was brand new on my visit and empty which made it a very pleasant first experience.

Universal Orlando has extended their closure through April 19th. Wouldn't surprise me if Disney follows suit in the next day or two. (Acutally surprised they didn't already come out with an announcement this evening, since the two companies' initial announcements were only hours apart.)

Would you mind just posting links in this thread pertaining to the impact on WDW? Thanks

The Metropolitan police have released footage of officers clearing Shepherd's Bush Green, west London, of sunbathers on the first day of the UK-wide coronavirus lockdown. 'Can you all go home please,' one officer can be heard saying. 'It's not a holiday, it's a lockdown.'www.theguardian.com

We are the same. We have a trip in April that is my daughter's senior year trip so I have been holding off cancelling even though I know we won't be able to go.
Our trip is April 12th and it has not been cancelled by Disney yet

Although Disney has made no formal announcement on whether the parks are reopening at the end of the month, Orange County which Disney is located in is under a mandatory stay at home order starting Thursday march 26th - April 9th. Since disney is not considered an essential work place per that order I don’t see them reopening before the end of that.

Can you postpone instead of canceling?

I just called DVC about a glitch when modifying an Aulani reservation. I learned that although the system allows you to go to the last step of modifying Aulani for another resort, it actually will fail because you cannot Modify Aulani or Gand California for another resort.
That was interesting enough but what I took most from the conversation is that if you are on the verge of losing points from 2020 and a reservation is canceled because of the virus, at this point they are gone. She literally said someone just lost 4000 points. That blows me away.
I know I read a thread somewhere that was going to be the fear but WOW!

Never said they would reopen then, but they will keep the money as long as they can. The same way when you cancel something there is processing time, the company looks better the more money they can hold onto.

We have reservations for 4/1 to 4/10, at Coronado. I just checked My Plans on MDE, and it's still there. Also the original closure dates till the end of March are still there also. I guess it will take awhile to get updated. We were going to cancel anyway.

I can kind of understand that with DVC, since it's a deeded real estate holding and they're forced to operate within the boundaries of the master timeshare contracts. Total, extended closure is likely something that was never foreseen or planned for.
Depending on how long this goes on for perhaps there's a way to alter the master deed, extend the end-date of all contracts by a set amount to add capacity back into the system to be able to restore those points. But doing so would be quite an endeavor, if it's even possible. Likely requiring DVC to file with the state and owners voting on the change. (Or however DVC owners have a say in maintenance fees and capital expenditures. O only have experience with my parents' traditional timeshare condo)

I did not know that!
I've noticed the same thing. It's as if POP has become the "new" moderate. I think part of it may be due to the Skyliner. We cancelled our April 17 trip.
