....ya don’t say?I think they are purposely being non-committal on the parks. Wait and see approach......
I agree with being non-committal but they need to stop taking new reservations til they have a more firm date. They are the only theme park company doing that. Universal maybe taking reservations but they haven't been putting dates out giving people false hope.I think they are purposely being non-committal on the parks. Wait and see approach......
The opening date is a moving target. So your whole comment ain’t really gonna cut itDumb move, if you ask me. Don't open reservations, then cancel them. Just ends up ****ing folks off who make plans.
Pick a date, stick with it.. get it done.
Then don't take any new reservations til they know for sure when they are openingThe opening date is a moving target. So your whole comment ain’t really gonna cut it
Wrong. They want bookings ready in case they can open. Canceling bookings if they can’t is no skin off their back. This is not going to change. But by all means, get snippy about it onlineThen don't take any new reservations til they know for sure when they are opening

There won’t be any lawsuits...Congress and other legislative bodies will waive any liability by law. After 9/11, no one could sue the airlines by law.
I’ll be interested to see what happens with DLP. Europa Park is set to open May 29th assuming the German government doesn’t backtrack on their phases. I think that may force their hand since they’re easily the biggest competitor to DLP.
Congress has limited jurisdiction here, it's more a state issue. Whether the state of Florida will grant liability.. they haven't yet. And it's not something that's easy to do retroactively. In other words, if Disney opens BEFORE such an immunity statute is passed, then it wouldn't necessarily shield Disney. And critically, any "absolute" liability would likely be a violation of Florida's state constitution, though I fully admit I'm not well versed in Florida state law.
Typically, when immunity is given, it's given with conditions attached and alternative remedies. For example, an employee can't sue an employer for a work-place injury BUT they can pursue remedy through the worker's compensation system, which still makes the employer pay.
I’ll both admit and agree that I’m not clearly versed in the applicable statutes at both the state and federal level, but I don’t see a world where people can sue employers, businesses, etc. over getting infected with the corona virus.Congress has limited jurisdiction here, it's more a state issue.

It should come down to reasonable precautions. I'm opposed to blanket indemnity, but I believe that a business should merely have to demonstrate that it followed the applicable guidelines for their locality and type of establishment. We shouldn't be letting companies off the hook for deliberately endangering their employees and/or customers (i.e. failing to provide required protective gear or forcing sick employees to come back to work), but we also shouldn't let them be held at fault for accidental exposure or frivolous lawsuits.I’ll both admit and agree that I’m not clearly versed in the applicable statues at both the state and federal level, but I don’t see a world where people can sue employers, businesses, etc. over getting infected with the corona virus.
I saw something earlier about maybe mid July? Don't quote me on that.
I dont know what, if anything, but I was just alerted (DVC - BLT - 6/7-6/14) to begin Check-In and finish my Magic Band order that I was unable to do this 2 days ago........not sure what this means, but thought I would mention it to the group......

That's what I've seen as well but if Europa can open with little issues, I can see Disney trying to work political pressure on the Paris Prefecture/French government to let them open early. It's hard to have your biggest European competitor (and actually a higher ranked theme park from my understanding - maybe @marni1971 can weigh in on this as I'm not well versed on the Europa/Efteling/DLP debate) open and let your park just sit idle. I understand they're in different countries in different stages of the pandemic, but still.
That is very interesting to say the least.
