Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

Expect Walt Disney World to close.

It's ridiculous. I can see buying one extra of some things so you can hold out for a week or two holed up in your house...but the panic shopping and hoarding is beyond belief. We've got a bin in our cellar with canned/dried goods in it that we add a little bit to every shopping trip.

So who is more rational -- the people who respond to an emerging health pandemic by going out and bulk buying products, or the people who have been "storing" products for years just in case and then criticise others for trying to catch up?

Not made official yet. It’s coming.

Not made official yet. It’s coming.

How soon? We talking a few hours?

This whole situation sucks...

The West will be living in a very different world within a week.

People were saying conflicting things, but I’d trust you. How long do you think? 2 weeks? No Spring Break crowds = Less Spread?

We haven't been doing it for years...just the last few weeks, and we do a few canned items and a dried good or two each week. The panic shopping that makes things unavailable for a large number of people is irresponsible.

 

[Surferboy567]

I wonder how long if/when it closes how long it will be closed for.

I'm going to say it's a different world today than it was yesterday.

Anyone surprised Paris hasn’t closed yet?

Absolutely, especially since a worker has/had COVID19.

And DIS is now 91 dollars a share, pending one more closure.

One little nitpick in that image. Soap doesn't kill the virus. It helps lift the virus particles off of your skin when you are washing your hands. If you just rub soap on your hand like it is hand sanitizer it isn't going to do much.

The important thing is to wash your hands frequently and PROPERLY for at least 20 seconds.

There’s no harm in buying a few extra things to make sure you are covered should you be stuck in your home for a while. What’s ridiculous are the people buying multiple 80 packs of toilet paper. One of those should last you months. There’s also a lot of people re-selling stuff on Amazon or eBay. Trying to profit from an emergency is pretty low.

I wonder if my DCP get’s cancelled...

Sucks if that happens. Although my arrival date isn’t for a very long time, probably too early to tell.
