But beds are freeing up. It’s almost over. Isn’t it?

Exposure to guests and exposure to co-workers are both risks, but I would think CM to CM transmission is probably higher risk for most workers unless you have a direct guest facing job.exposure to thousands a day... then break rooms.... rehearsals etc
The NFL just took this stance as well for fans in the stands this fall, it is not an optics issue
DW was a tough one for me but I threw all reasoning out the window because I assume Dolly’s doing the right thing (I know she isn’t the decider). Maybe that’s how some people think about Disney? It doesn’t make sense in either case.

You think they fought that decision?
Disney is public traded...so they have a “responsibility” to open.
But they don’t want to...when no one is traveling? Hell no.
Sacramento is running cover for them in this case.

You're seeking answers that literally none of us would know. There's too much up in the air and too much uncertainty.
I don't see Florida forcing them not to open. At all. Disneyland's reason for not opening is based on not receiving government approval.

Until the nfl reverses that decision with leaguewide policy

Maybe this is too “rose colored glasses“ but if some simple steps are taken immediately (like starting tomorrow) the numbers could begin to improve in a few weeks and it’s possible by as early as say August 1 the situation is much better. So in that case it’s not a 6 month delay, maybe a few weeks to a month.
Really? Too bad DeSantis won’t run cover for them.

If they open the fans will be there. "No one traveling" has nothing to do with the opening.

Have you been to Dollywood since they opened? How was it? I was hoping to feel safe enough to visit and walk around the park and enjoy the atmosphere and outdoor entertainment at least. Maybe a couple outdoor rides too.
Not quite spin when that is exactly what Disney stated was the reason

...excellent sleuthing, my man
I agree with you. But I wonder how the new tristate area quarantine restrictions will work. A lot of Disney Dollars are no longer in play.

You couldn’t be more wrong.
Those parks cost a fortune to run...if there aren’t large crowds, they don’t make any money.
That’s the model...it’s not a secret.
So far Dollywood is the only place in PF area masks are really being worn, but I did see some videos of some customers not wearing them properly

Severely diminished.
Right now....they’re down 20% of business in Florida till at least the end of July. That’s without a new roadblock to the northeast.

Yes and no.
Iger and Newsom are close. If they both wanted Disneyland open, they would have found a way to make it happen. Neither wanted it open.
This gives Iger cover with shareholders.
Iger would do the same, if he could, in Orlando. But, so far, DeSantis is not giving Iger the cover he needs.
In Florida, there's no way to know who is going to say uncle first.

...the batphone is broken. Verizon is investigating
Alas, no. I haven’t stepped out of a ten block radius in NYC since this all started. I want to go back to Dollywood almost more than I do WDW.
