Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Mickey Pride]

Not so fast with the confidence.
This was happening with basically no one in the park?

Is there suppose to be some sort of distancing stickers on the ground?

 

[GoofGoof]

Weird. Maybe they will make an amendment.

I would think they would, but not much has made sense in the approach so far. The state of emergency is certainly needed but I’m not sure why they even tied the travel ban to that. Why not just make it open ended and say an executive order would be issued to end it when it was deemed appropriate to do so?

gross

Reminds me of a protest with 5k less people.

They have them for queues but they only go so far. Once the line exceeds the markers it’s going to get bunched up. We saw that with the Starbucks line at DS. Good spacing until the line got full then not so much.

So you saying the winters are warm, sunny and balmy.

Didn’t say that at all.you mentioned 20 degrees, I said we haven’t seen them in years. ????

The good old polar vortex years. Didn’t go above 20 for a month back then. This winter I was very happy to not have turned on my snow blower...2020 was off to such a promising start

Mine hasn’t been on in 2 years I don’t think. I knew as soon as I bought a new one the snow would stop.

Face shields and masks, same as across the park. No leopard hat bands on the shields, either.

So some places have face masks AND shields required?

I’m surprised because even phoenix dips into the 20‘s at night on occasion. I was in NYC in 2017 and it was in the 20’s and it was only November.

Yep, it’s been very mild. 30’s at best and that hasn’t happened much. My next move is to Canada.

If you really like cold just move to Chicago.

I guess that means it should be 55 degrees next winter too.

Probably not...but not impossible.

I’ve said this on one of these threads...so I hope this isn’t repetitive:

Northeastern seaboarders have the money...and like to travel excessively...this is true

They also are easily offended and tend to have a “hypersensitivity” to their own well being, comfort.

I really think NYC will be hurting for tourists more than anybody.

 

[Heppenheimer]

When its 20 degrees in the northeast they’ll go to Florida.

Nah, that's ski season. Some of us actually like winter.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

They are...

But they do a lot of “other things” too...

We’re not dancing around the concept that Orlando (or every town in Florida for that matter) is “less” dependent on tourism than New York are we?

Not much of a discussion.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I personally like a fall...and a nip in December as opposed to lights wrapped around palmetto trees

NYC is going to suffer even more from the lack of business travel. So many hotels and restaurants in Manhattan lives off of business travelers who expense their travel. International and domestic. Tourism will hurt too.

Truth!

 

[mickeymiss]

They can't even really pretend to adhere to any guidelines in NYC tourism. That's going to be a real challenge. I don't envy that task force.

That's true. Expensing food, drink and leisure activities to entertain clients is a big hurt to NYC, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Most of the bigger hotels, dining near the Convention Center on International Drive in Orlando surely must be hurting too.
