I hope you have a safe trip! This thread is very focused on coronavirus and related news. You might have better luck in the WDW Trip Planning forum!
Expect the layoffs to also include cruise line staff
I really don’t know, but I can’t imagine they are going to change 7 day cruises to three or four. What a booking nightmare. They are having a hard enough time as it is processing refunds and issuing credits. A lot of customers have rebooked multiple times. They just keep kicking the can down the road hoping they’ll eventually sail.
Absolutely.
Under Josh D'Amaro is Parks which is all parks worldwide. I'd expect WDW to get hit hard.
Finally went to see Tenet this weekend. Well worth it in IMAX. Crushed that Black Widow moved again. The kids are dying for a theater experience again so I really hope Soul makes it for Thanksgiving.
For sure. Not sure which ships on other lines are doing what, but I can totally see DCL “phasing in” with the Dream first to see how it goes. She’s bigger, so more room to spread out, and already slated for shorter itineraries.
I saw in another board WDW still has 21k+ or more furloughed. Poly delayed, All Stars and POR mothballed. Hours, shows, and still a lot of dining to come back online. I’m sure that and paring down to a skeleton crew in DL, you’re right. This news today sucks, for sure.
How? People that cruise on Disney are Disney fans. The percentage of people that cruise on DCL and haven’t been to a park are slim to none.
Saw this today and now I feel even safer with my Utah boarding trip as I I am going in and out of TIA. Will gladly pay the 57 dollars when I get back to know in 15 minutes or less if I should quarantine"Tampa International Airport, in partnership with BayCare Health System, announced the launch of the country’s first airport testing pilot that will offer two types of FDA-approved COVID-19 tests for all departing and arriving passengers.
The testing site, located inside the Main Terminal near the Airside F shuttle, will offer both the rapid antigen test and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test. PCR nasal swab test results are the most accurate and broadly accepted internationally. Interested travelers will be able to purchase either test regardless of which airline they’re booked on, their gate location or destination.
Testing services will be offered on a walk-in basis from Thursday, October 1st to October 31st, seven days a week from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. The pilot will be open to all ticketed passengers who are flying or have flown within three days and can show proof of travel. The PCR COVID-19 test costs $125 and the antigen test costs $57.
At many destinations around the world, government health agencies are requiring travelers to provide a negative PCR test result to avoid quarantine or other restrictions upon arrival. Passengers departing from Tampa to states, countries or territories requiring negative PCR tests are advised to take the test three days before departure and can expect results within 48 hours.
The antigen test, which produces results in 15 minutes and is most accurate within five days of the onset of symptoms, offers an added layer of same-day reassurance for travelers arriving at or departing TPA."

Good to know about the extension. Cruising irresponsible if going on a ship now.CDC 'no-sail' order extension official: Cruise ships will not sail in U.S. waters until Nov. 1
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Wednesday it is extending its "no-sail" order for the U.S. cruise industry through Oct. 31.www.usatoday.com
Don't have to worry about those debates now. They originally wanted to extend it til next year.
CLIA already had a ban until Oct 31 so cruises weren't starting until after then anyway. I have no cruises booked and I'm keeping all my vacation options open. At least I have theme parks. How are things going up there in Canada?CDC 'no-sail' order extension official: Cruise ships will not sail in U.S. waters until Nov. 1

You're always so concerned about the economy and the layoffs. You post about it every day and multiple times a day, yet you want everything shut down. You're a walking, talking contradiction.
Our 3-year-old has done fine. He has Disney masks so he's excited to wear Forky or Mike Wazowski. I'm not sure he would've done as well a year ago, though. I understand it's based on doctor recommendations, but it does seem like a bit much for a 2-year-old.
Although I have no young children on which to test my theory, I would guess that as two year olds will barely be able to remember going out without seeing people in masks and that might and I emphasise might help them wear one, especially if it has their favourite character emblazoned on it. However I do think it is a very difficult rule and risks ruining any activity for children and parents alike. Parents don’t want to upset, or potentially frighten, their children.
What about the ports of call? Are the passengers to remain solely on board from point of departure (U.S.) to return (U.S.)?
