What I find amazing at this point in time is that suddenly the whole nation is depending on the same people they didn’t believe should be making 15 bucks an hour. Give it up for all those risking themselves so we can go get tp and other essential things.
unfortunately I couldn't read because of firewall but be that as it may, there is a marked difference between what the states authorizes and what a private company can do.That may be in those states. Keep in mind that the northeast corridor is densely populated. But Governor DeSantis is starting it up. He announced that this morning.

Not sure about Smuckers park wide, but I do know they may have sponsored the former kitchen store by the Haunted Mansion that turned into Memento Mori.
The world has changed. Corporations have much cheaper more efficient ways to get their names and products in the public’s eye.
Also, part of it is the Rise of the IP. In the ancient days, when Eastern Airlines sponsored If You Had Wings a la World's Fair, it was because the attraction was basically a wonderfully long commercial for travel. (On the other hand, Circlevision 360 was once sponsored by Monsanto, so I can't even get into reasons about what they got out of the deal...)
Also true. For the most part the company is now more concerned with promoting its own IP’s, brands, and products and not those of others.

Sponsorships have taken a back seat after the birth of the internet (thanks a lot Al Gore). Back in the 80s when they built EPCOT reaching millions of visitors each year was a big deal for advertisers. Now you just need to throw an add into a YouTube video and reach more people instantly.
With WDW losing $20-30 million per day being closed can the contractors accept an IOU and pay them later?
False equivalency
And I've known more than a dozen pilots and flight attendants that don't live and have never lived in any of those cities. And while they would sometimes move because their schedule was changed it wasn't moving to one of those cities it was to another spoke because they knew that was where their flight each morning was going to originate from.
43,000 Walt Disney World Union Cast Members to be Furloughed April 19th; Full Details Released
Walt Disney World news, photos, and reviews! We provide you with daily news from the Walt Disney World theme parks and beyond
Here are the announced details, per the STCU:
- Everyone’s job, seniority, wage rate and benefits are guaranteed through the furlough, even if you stay on furlough after Disney reopens. Seniority continues indefinitely beyond 12 months.
- Everyone who has insurance will keep it for the duration of the furlough up to 12 months, including both full-time
workers as well as part-time workers who qualify under the Affordable Care Act.- Insurance means all insurance benefits: medical, dental, life, etc. with no exceptions.
- Disney will pay 100% of your insurance. You will not owe back payments when you return to work.
- For insurance eligibility and pension contributions, full-time workers will be credited 40 hours per week during the furlough. Part-time workers will get credit for their weekly average hours worked since October 2019.
- If you are a new worker, you can choose insurance after your 90-day probation just as you had planned.
- If you come back from an approved Leave of Absence during the furlough, you are covered by the Union’s
agreement.- If you have a qualifying life event, you can get insurance. Example, if you had insurance through your spouse but
your spouse loses their job, you can enroll in Disney insurance. The same is true for a divorce or the birth of a
child.- If the furlough continues until the next open enrollment period in 2020, you will be able to choose insurance.
- Vacation, Floating Holidays and Paid Time Off (part-time employees): From April 12-18, you can choose to have it
paid out weekly up to 40 hours per week until it is gone.- Full-time employees can also choose to be paid out accumulated sick days above 96 hours.
- Other basic programs continue: HUB access, Aspire, Maingate, etc.
- If you are in a job that requires certain skills or proficiencies, the Company cannot say you lose them.
- A small group of less than 200 workers will do “essential” duties during the closure. The work will be offered to
volunteers by seniority. If not enough people volunteer, the work will be assigned to the least senior workers. If
you have a legitimate health, safety, childcare or other reason you cannot work, you will not be forced to work
and you will not be penalized. You will remain on furlough.- If any worker covered by Disney insurance needs COVID-19 testing, Disney insurance will pay for it.
Between security and animal care there’s not much left for maintenance. I would have thought at least 200 just for security with 30+ hotels, 4 parks, 2 water parks, Disney Springs and all of the behind the scenes buildings. It’s a lot to protect.
That's not a good sign if some think WDW will have some cast doing "upkeep" of areas. The grounds, interior and exterior of the buildings will look like #@&%. Disney picking up the weekly insurance costs that cast pay weekly is a good thing for the cast. Disney insurance paying for covid testing? The govt picks up the tab on that.43,000 Walt Disney World Union Cast Members to be Furloughed April 19th; Full Details Released

Sounds like the bare bare bare basics. Your numbers are exactly what I was thinking.
