WDW Reopening Estimates

Actually each DVC owner owns property interest in the DVC resort during the terms of the contract. The combined shares of DVC owners is far more than Disney’s shares. Also, Florida has a full section of their laws that address DVC resorts and other timeshares.

This is from the attached article on Legoland’s opening:
In addition to the overall 50% capacity limitation, Legoland will enforce the same limitation at facilities inside the park, such as restaurants and live entertainment venues, and at the new Pirate Island and the original Legoland Hotel, Jackson said.
Not saying Disney has to follow what Legoland is doing but the local guidelines for reopening did suggest limiting capacity at hotels in the first 2 phases. Again, not a requirement but it doesn’t line up with Disney’s conservative approach to open DVC resorts at 100% capacity in June or even July.

There's a possibly that opening does not mean it stays open. If the "health officials" approve the opening plan, is there some way to reverse the decision if the # of daily cases rises? Also, no one is really going to be tracking WHERE they got infected, so even looking at local cases, we'd have no way to know how many people are getting infected AT Disney. You would need to factor in where guests live and that's not public information.

As a local AP, I would 100% go to a park when they reopen even if that means walking through and not going on a ride. There were days previously where I would go for a few hours and not do a single attraction.Who pays money to go to park just to people watch.

Administration and Management:
In addition to your mandatory membership in the Club upon your purchase of an Ownership Interest in a DVC Resort, you will also automatically become a member of
the condominium association and/or the vacation owners association, as applicable, for your Home Resort. Your membership in the applicable associations is governed
by the governing documents for your Home Resort including the Declaration of Condominium and/or the Plan Declaration and by the Bylaws of each association. The
associations are the entities responsible for the overall management and operation of the DVC Resorts. The associations are not owned by TWDC or any affiliate or
subsidiary of TWDC; although, they are effectively controlled by DVD. This control by DVD of the associations arises out of the fact that the Master Cotenancy
Agreement appoints DVD as the “representative” of each Unit in each DVC Resort. This means that even after a majority of the Ownership Interests in a DVC Resort
have been sold, DVD will control all association matters unless and until DVD is removed as representative by the owners of at least sixty percent (60%) of the
Ownership Interests in a majority of the Units in the DVC Resort. DVD will be authorized to cast the vote for a given Unit at association meetings in whatever manner
it deems appropriate provided that DVD is acting on behalf of the cotenants as a whole pursuant to its duties under applicable law; and further provided that DVD may
not cast a Unit’s vote at an association meeting with respect to certain specific matters without the written consent in advance of such meetings by the owners of sixty
percent (60%) of the Ownership Interests in that Unit. This authority extends to the election of the board of directors of the association, as well as to other matters. At
least sixty percent (60%) of the Ownership Interests in at least a majority of Units would be required in order for the Members to exercise any significant control over
the association. Therefore, as a practical matter, the Owners of Ownership Interests in the Units in each DVC Resort will probably be unable to remove DVD from
control of the association throughout the term of the DVC Resort.

There’s no way of knowing what’s gonna happen in the future. A second wave, better treatments, a vaccine. Anything is possible. You are going to get a bunch of people who say they won’t shut down again, but there were some who said they wouldn’t shut down in March then said they would be open by Easter because they wouldn’t miss the Spring Break crowds. I can tell you for sure in March I never considered the possibility the parks would be closed at least halfway through June. If there’s one thing I know for sure it’s that we know nothing for sure.

Well you are quite wrong. DVC owners own the buildings and we lease the land. If the building caught fire and burned down, the owners would split the insurance payout.
Did I miss this?

What I was trying to say is if Disney opened DVC resorts soon (June/July) at 100% capacity it would go against what appears to be a conservative and deliberate approach so far.
My mistake. I thought the overall property itself was owned by Disney, with DVC members leasing spots within that property.
Gotcha. Thank you.

Couldn't agree more. And I suspect many of these confrontations will become physical.

If Disney wanted to move me from my 2 Bedroom at Riviera for the NBA I sure as hell hope they move to to either a Grand Villa or a Bungalo at Poly.
The best place for the NBA to go to is no doubt Coronado Springs. The other issue I have is if they give the families priority for the parks before your loyal guests APH, and those staying on Property DVC, ect....
I'm hoping we'll know more if they make a presentation next week, but it's going to wear thin on people, especially with Universal getting the momentum from yesterday's announcement. Disney isn't going to want the money coming into Florida not going into their parks. Right now, you're looking at impulsive and impatient people just going to go to Universal and go home, since they're going to be open.Disney releases new statement on 'Planning Your Disney Parks Vacation'

I'm not booked to go to WDW until August, but if it looks like WDW isn't together by then, we'll have no problems cancelling and making it a Universal trip. This doesn't look like a company that's supposed to have had every contingency thought of, any combination of measures thought out. They may have, but public perception is everything. If they look like they're not organized on what to do, you're going to frustrate a lot of people.

Honestly Disney can do what they want but seeing that Universal is a Go for 6/5 opening already approved by the mayor and the governor I am not sure what Disney is waiting for. If anything the footprint of Universal is much smaller than Disney and Disney has far more cast members to take care of what needs to be done. I am honestly disappointed that Disney has not released plans yet if the hold up is because of the NBA that sucks I understand the money but that is a one time shot not the returning guests that we are.
