Doesn't make it not baffling and moronic.
What are my unrealistic expectations?
They are handling it like everyone else in tourism.
I wish Disney would just make a call. Then it’ll be the coronavirus that needs to adjust to things.Hey the pandemic is very fluid and dynamic with companies having to make some difficult decisions that can change without notice. Disney should stop be greedy and mean and make a call on when they will open and stop changing that date. How dare they.
Some people don't have the luxury of going whenever they can. And I do have to agree that this shroud of mystery and lack of any good communication is not what I would expect from a company like Disney. Tell people who stand to spend thousands of dollars while there on vacation what your intentions are so they know when to schedule time off from work and so on. This is a theme park, not MI-6. No need for cloak and dagger.
I'm one of those who just can't go whenever they want - our trips take usually around a year of planning just to make sure everyone's schedules are lined up, vacation time is saved, etc.
What news has there really been to share, exactly????
I agree that the pandemic threw everything into an uproar. But on the other side of things, Disney is not looking like a company that had much of anything planned as to how to handle reopening things. Like I said in a post earlier on the forum, public perception is everything. Universal made news everywhere with their reopening date. Disney is still nebulous and vague, except for reopening their glorified shopping mall.
So EVERYONE else is taking reservations still? No where I have looked is taking them and cancelling them a week out. What other company is doing that?
I absolutely agree that it gets stale...but this is the nature of pandemics. No one really knows anything...it could burn itself out, or it could hang around for years. I just imagine all the different segments involved in operating the parks and resorts, and I can understand why they'd rather be overly cautious in re-opening so as to lessen the probably of having to shut down again...not to mention all the logistics in getting all 4 parks and all the resorts guest-ready, training staff for new procedures...there's a lot of cogs in the Disney machine.
I understand. And what you said right there would even be satisfactory had it come from Disney, instead of what we have now.
Agreed 100%
They know how to reopen their operations and they have plans for how to do so. They just aren’t rushing to do it too soon. Universal was being just as vague until they announced that they were reopening and gave dates.
I have no problem with them being overly cautious. If they want to stay closed until 2021, that is their right. They just need to announce it. If the plan was to open on Aug 31st then stick to it and announce it. They could just announce that they are cancelling all reservation before Aug 31st and set the summer people free to make other plans. Disney can take one for the team, and be the bad guy for a change and let the parents off the hook. Until they cancel my reservation stands, plus my other backup reservations. You know Uni is looking pretty good as this unfolds. They are offering free cancellation and refunds up to 24 hours in advance for all reservation made till May 31st and that includes refunding the tickets.
That wasn’t the plan... There is a different between a plan and a guess.
