Disney Parks Social Media Blackout

[asianway]

I certainly appreciate the gesture of going silent out of respect, but...

Their $5.5B resort opens in less than 36 hours, Im truly shocked that the full court press has not launched.

Coupled with the fact that the hourly Cast, partnered with the other attractions in central Florida put on a very touching social media campaign in the absence of direction.

Whats the logic here?

Was there a formal announcement that they're "going dark"?

Not that I saw but the blog hasn't been updated since Saturday.

There is already a thread about this. Sadly it has taken a nasty turn though so you may not want to go read it.

Note to self: When @RandomPrincess says to avoid a thread because it turned nasty just believe her and walk away. Wow.

Ah - I have the OP of that thread on ignore - looks like I win. @The Mom my apologies - a duplicate thread was not my intent.

That thread is currently a dumpster fire.

Clearly Disney was avoiding any mention or connection to the shootings.... Which seems pointless now given all the news reports that the shooter allegedly cased the place twice, according to the feds.

That is a very generous donation.

It's the right thing to do

Means more than some fluffy statement, in my opinion. This will actually help the effort! Good for them!

Agree actions speak louder than words.

Kudos to them!

Very true. This donation goes much further than some canned response on Facebook, Twitter or the Blog.

Walt Disney World Resort has also been working in coordination with other Central Florida agencies and leaders to provide support to those in need. In coordination with OneBlood, cast members and other employees working at Walt Disney World Resort wishing to donate blood to help victims may donate at five designated locations across the resort property.

Through an effort led by the City of Orlando and the Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association, Walt Disney World Resort is also providing complimentary accommodations for the families and friends of the victims.

Disney social media is back, and we have a couple of other threads running on this, so I think we can close this one now.
