Ah... see, I love it when people call those who don't want to wear a mask, selfish. And then to equate it to wearing a shirt is even better. Sure, you wearing your mask will make all the difference; please feel free to fill that way. Again, never before have we been required to wear masks and yet, pathogens have always been around. What it does, is help you feel as though you're doing something, which is fine and you are welcome to make that choice. If I have to explain how reducing the level of requirements for those individuals who will be in charge of the children forcibly remov

Not only are they worn improperly (either by being too loose, not covering the nose, people bringing their hands up and touching them constantly to readjust them), but studies show that they carry more germs than they help prevent. More people will get sick from wearing them (let alone sick from not boosting your immune system as our immune system was designed to interact with pathogens).

Agreed. Then again, I think this is where we should be, with the entire country. Those governors who are keeping their states closed, it's about control and the amount of damage that they are doing is immense. This is a virus, people understand that; citizens need to be allowed to make their own choices. Because it's not about the mask, Mo. I know you have to understand that. I don't wear a mask. Never have, nor do I have any plans to. This includes not going back to Costco (until they remove the mask requirement) for which we've been a member of for 25+ years (before it even wa

The tough part is, for some masks are truly very tough (if not impossible) for them to physically wear. I understand that Disney is a theme park so (unlike a market, where you need to go buy food), you don't need to go there. But, such a bummer if you have a family where maybe only 1 or 2 members would have an issue with the mask. For some folks, a Disney vacation is a once in a lifetime and they've been planning it for a long time. Personally, I think the idea of wearing a mask at Walt Disney World is going to pose a risk for a lot of folks.... at least during the really hot and humid day

Right?!! Mercy... could you imagine. It would be like the "old days"

I can't imagine Disney ever reducing AP tickets. Even IF crowds are low (which is a big IF) once the parks reopen, Disney's prices are so high... that the mouse always comes out ahead. Yes, the did sell their MOHO.

Fantastic. I thought I had asked and was told, no. Good to hear that they continued to work. It didn't make a lot of sense... actually, it would seem easier to work with everything empty.

This right here, is what I think it boils down to. The same reason construction did not continue inside the parks (even though proper distancing should have been possible). Disney has deep pockets and someone will sue if they get sick.

Florida is loosing huge amounts of money, by these parks being closed. Now that states are starting to open back up, it will be interesting to see how long they stay closed. I'm sure they'll position it the best they can, to get federal aid. Gotta love the monopoly money our government prints up.

I hope they open back up for you ❤️

We won't be buying tickets but still... this notice makes me so happy ❤️

This is the homeschool mama in me talking.... but an overnight field trip, would be AWESOME!!

It really is, such a pretty park!

Umm... no. I'm not sure how you would even drive it down the road, without scraping up the bottom? Oh... and what's the clear tube thing? Is that a tub? I'm so confused

See... I just don't get that. We've only done one day at the parks (MK) in the past 18 months, but before that had APs back to back and I remember often walking around thinking that some areas looked really sad. They just needed a good scrubbing, a few boards replaced, some new paint... nothing huge or too terribly expensive, just a little work that (I figured) was tough to do with the parks busy every. single. day. Now they've been empty for days and days and no work is getting done? That would be a shame

On a different note... anyone taking bet if Disney is doing work while the parks are closed down? I mentioned earlier that I hoped they used this time to do some repairs and much needed cleaning/facelifts in certain areas. The parks are huge and they could easily keep employees several feet apart. It would seem like such a good time to tackle some of these projects. Guess time will tell...

it's a virus... is the thought that it's going to die? Not trying to be funny, simply pointing out that viruses do not go away.

Agreed

Haha... maybe not a thing, but it did make me laugh 😄

I'm sorry.. but I honestly believe, that people with more money than we could ever imagine, are reveling (if not manipulating) this current situation.

Yep.... but isn't that the rub of social "media"? Remember the Swine-Flu of 2009? The country did shut down and it too was an aggressive pandemic. In my opinion, the main difference is: social media. People panic. I think fear is built into a human's DNA. So any mention (truthful or not) of anything bad/fearful and that's what is heard, focused on and passed along for others to believe

Tom was supposed to wine and dine some clients at the Masters here in Georgia (over Easter weekend)... that was cancelled (or postponed...maybe). That's an outdoor event, that is a month away.

Thousands will be bankrupt over this (not just WDW related). Too many folks cannot work remotely (but there kids are home so they need to be home), too many are working at businesses whose doors will be closed, too many families live paycheck to paycheck, too many small business were barely making it before this.

Oh goodness... so the Fort is closing this week? Crazy.
