News Walt Disney World's COVID-19 reopening plans announced - July 11

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Has anybody like @lentesta done an analysis on how much money each resort brings in based on number of rooms and average price per room per night? I’m thinking that may give us an idea of what resorts would open first if Disney doesn’t open them all at the same time.

That’s not public knowledge...
I could tell you it circa 2002...but my password won’t work to get you newer info

It’s all guestimates really.
Remember that “money made” is subjective...it’s not from the room charges or tickets...it’s the ancillary stuff. They move that money around with internal accounting.

You may be right. I’m not familiar with what penthouse demand is. Is that like demand from the upper classes or playboys?

Doesn’t that depend on how “tasteful” you like it?

...what?

It's just like Playboy demand but just a little trashier.

Ahhh...I beat you to it

For what it’s worth, I just want to say that I will miss Typhoon Lagoon being open. It’s my fav park.

Guess IF they moved guests it could be to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom resorts in the same and higher resort categories for the small time frame those are only open.

We're at all star music suites this year, so if that's the case I'd imagine they'd leave us alone, but should be interesting to see.

I’m not from Missouri...”show me”

A fully functioning, effective contract tracing system in the land of “hands off”??

I want to believe you...have to see it.

I was told by an executive of a South Florida hospital system that they have a ton of resources dedicated to contact tracing. That's all the evidence I can offer.

This is an excellent graph. It shows the percent positive test of the total tests taken:

Ooooh. I wonder if we could do that.

Me too!

PS. On that Day in Epcot Video on YouTube you and Jim talked about a couple weeks ago there was a parking tram that went to International Gateway. Was it from the YC/BC?

That argument might have washed a week ago, but with 24 States now showing rising cases, it's looking like a very dated argument.

Except that with the exception of Louisiana, all the states on the mandatory quarantine list are showing dramatic declines.

Cases are rising because there is so much more testing. Put another way, known cases are rising in some places. When you look at the other metrics it is likely that actual cases are dropping. There's around 4 times the tests being done daily than a few weeks ago nation wide

Ok...That’s fair. But “resources” needs to be a functioning system...

Posted this in the FP thread but worth sharing here. Confirmed that all FP+ and dining reservations are cancelled, along with the termination of the DDP.

Right in time for the annual pleading for “free” dining...

This was unavoidable given the situation.

Except that with the exception of Louisiana, all the states on the mandatory quarantine list are showing dramatic declines.

The point was that the pandemic has moved beyond the mandatory quarantine list, as these things do. Lists and exclusions can't keep up with the geography of the outbreaks.

 

[DisneyCane]

The cases exist...

There’s no way to downplay what it is. It has/is happening...still plenty of real science layered with a lot of failures in humanity

They exist but more existed before (on a daily basis) and weren't know because of less testing.

I finally know why there was a traffic circle thing where the Skyliner is now. Thank you!
