Do you think that Disney world will reclose its gates due to the rising number of COVID cases in Florida and around the country?

[Captain Neo]

Rise of the Resistance is a hell of a lot more than just moving around in a ride vehicle.

I’m not sure you can at argue the experience is that inferior with the many positives considered. It’s freaking unbelievable. I’m here right now and it’s the best trip ever.

I miss some shows and a few restaurants, but this is incredible and will likely never happen again in decades.

people said the same thing right after 9/11 and here we are less than two decades later

Slowing testing means people are not sure they have the virus, why this is a big problem is because when people know they have Covid do for the most part quarantine themselves and prevent further spread, consult your favorite news source to see that otherwise a lot of people aren’t taking basic measures to prevent spread.

This is less than 9/11 and once in 20 years is still a long time. But you can wait for the next 20 year event, running your hands together.

This is a once in every 100 year global pandemic. Nothing of this scale and scope have been seen since the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. As big as 9/11 was here in the US it did not affect the entire world. No country has been left unscathed although some have done much better then others.

Are you saying I won’t need express passes at Universal? I booked Royal Pacific, but I could save some money by switching to one of their moderate resorts.

I’ve haven’t ridden the Fantasyland rides since Fast pass plus because the wait times are always ridiculous. Im Looking forward to hoping on those again.

We did not need them. But we also targeted UO for mid week (instead of the weekend) to minimize the crowds. At MK, all of fantasy land was effectively walk on - seven dwarfs posted 20 minutes, actual 5-7; Peter Pan the same.

What happened at Epcot?

Epcot was fine. Just the size of the park plus the low crowd meant that it felt dead. No lines at all for the F&W kiosks. and the construction was very off putting.

I’m glad you made your political views known. but where are the mods that said no politics.

Simple report it I have had posts taken down for less

This isn’t anything like the 1918 flu, but it it’s once every hundred years, my point remains.

There has always been a lot we didn’t know about this virus, constantly learning more.
As we learn more, our responses improve.
But overall, the effect of the virus is worse than most people realized early on. More contagious, not really lessened by summer heat (or maybe we are currently seeing the lessened summer version which would be really bad).
The comparisons to the flu or to colds have proven to be utter fiction. Even the many people who appear to be asymptomatic or “mildly” symptomatic, you’d be amazed at what their chest x-ray looks like.
Those who have sought to downplay this virus have been sadly proven wrong, time after time.

 

[John park hopper]

Don't think they will re-close the gates Disney can't afford to IMO too much money at stake

 

[marni1971]

We already know you’re a travel shamer..

Its called common sense. Especially where numbers are out of control.

 

[Miss Bella]

Shaming people is now defined as common sense interesting.

 

[marni1971]

No. Don’t put words in my mouth.

If common sense was shown then there would be no need to comment, or “shame” anyone.

Being “shamed” is an admission of guilt in itself. Admittedly some are too thick to realise that and hide it in “entitlement“ or “freedom”.

 

[Miss Bella]

Nothing to do with politics. Just fact vs fiction.

I’m aware of what the varying chest X-rays Look like. We were originally discussing hospital capacity and surges during flu season to surges seen during Covid. I’m not sure why your taking it on a different direction, but none of that really has anything to do with WDW.

Does that apply to everything. Now we can just shame people for their choices and excuse ourselves for bein judgmental because it’s just common sense in our opinion.

 

[marni1971]

No.

Common sense takes its spelling from consensus. As in the vast majority. As in what any sane, educated person accepts what is right.

Much like common sense says don’t put your hand in a fire.

I was responding to your statements comparing it to the common cold.

Where did I compare it to the common cold?

 

[lazyboy97o]

It says I respect people's choices as long as they are legal. I guess we are different.

Plenty of things may be legal but aren’t respectable. Showing up to work sick is largely legal but it shouldn’t be respected.

These idiots can get WDW shut down again:

Crowds gather at Florida parties to spread COVID-19, sheriff says

They want to get COVID -- or aren't worried about getting it, the sheriff said.
