Supply is really low here. I can't remember the last time I saw a For sale sign. I have realtors calling me daily. We've had a lot of businesses move here this past decade and more plants being built. Our tourism revolves around golf, national parks, and spring training. I think we will rebound quickly.
I am getting calls, emails , US mail to see if I want to sell our house. It's usually those joker fly by night companies willing to pay cash for your home. It's nowhere near the selling value though.
Obviously you haven’t been reading some of the posters here saying capacity, fireworks and even mask mandates are going away very soon. Don’t listen to the actual reports and buzz in the industry, you need to start listening to the keyboard warriors here!
FYI Tokyo Disney is bringing back fireworks tomorrow. Disney will probably have fireworks by November if not sooner.

I know bu how fast my neighbors s house sold. and what they sold it for.
I do notIt want to bash your hope, but Tokyo is willing to front that bill via their owners.
I ha e a hard time believing that the probability is high at all for fireworks to be back stateside by then due to high cost and low ROI right now.
There is a definite chicken and the egg issue, bunch of complaints on here that there are not fireworks or other amenities and they won't go, but at the same time same people say Disney won't do fireworks because it will cost to much. Since Disney is in business to make money with a theme park attraction they will spend the money to make it attractive. Fireworks are probably have been pretty cheap to buy over the past few months, plus they already had at least a week or longer stored up as they had to shutdown fairly quickly.

Does anyone know what they are doing to the Polynesian? It seems like they just remodeled it or is time really going that fast.

They were testing them in middle of July also. But again, love your enthusiasm.
Whatever happens, it's never going to be the same after long time cast member hula master Aunty Kau'i passed away earlier this year at age 88.

Didn’t Shanghai’s resume a couple months after opening and Tokyo’s are resuming. I see no reason why WDW can’t resume fireworks when it starts getting dark earlier.

I have no idea who that is and I’m sure the majority of guests don’t either. It sounds like she lived a nice long life.
Original cast member from 1972 who taught hula lessons to guests at the Polynesian Resort from 1972 to 2020. She worked there until she passed this year. Regular guests at the Poly would know who she is and has probably met her on many occasions. She was a legend.

Yeah since I have no idea who she is? I haven’t stayed at the Poly since 2011. I guess me and all the other millions of guests are supposed to know this somehow. I hope they had a nice celebration of life for her.

I would have thought someone who spends so much time on a dis board and in the bubble on land or sea would know who some of the legends were but for your edification:
A Moment for Aunty Kau’i
The spirit of aloha ran deep at Walt Disney World last week, as we received the news that, surrounded by her loving ohana, Kau’ihealani Mahikoa Brandt—known to our cast and guests alike as “‘Anake Kau’i” (“Aunty Kau’i”)—had

I have had the pleasure of meeting some legendary cast members (whether they are internet-famous or not), and there is a reason that Walt said “You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.” There are many cast members who consistently prove this true, but…then there are some like Auntie Kau’i who take it to the next level, who not only work to make the dream a reality, but become part of what defines the dream. I was so happy to see that cast members were able to hold their own remembrance of her on the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon and, honestly, I’m glad members of senior management were there to pay their respects. It sounds like a fitting tribute to a special lady who did more than her fair share to make the Polynesian Resort, and Walt Disney World as a whole, the amazing resort that it is. We’ll miss you, Auntie.

Sophistry. You obviously didn't experience the drive down I4 in 2008/9 where most of the hotels were either closed or for sale between the turnpike and Disney.
