    disney is going to really go down the shitter if they close the parks here

    i think they hold out until they’re pressured by the cdc to do so

    Yeah, I know. But had it booked for a year. We’re going barring a real deterioration in the area.

    im not trying to be dark or hysterical but the govt isnt getting enough tests nor releasing data so the only news you're gonna see is if the parks close

    and, as of today still, they won't even turn off the fucking fingerprint scanners

    all they did was add hand washing stations and purell stands

    We’re scheduled for Mar 22nd - Mar 25. My 65yo in-laws are supposed to go too. I already recommended postponing. That did NOT go over well with the family. The in-laws said they’re going even if we don’t :facepalm:

    Wife and 2 yr old are supposed to go tomorrow and Friday. I've been pushing her to cancel and I think she's finally on board. Think Disney would refund the hotel?

    Anaheim banned large gatherings, I’m sure that’s going to pressure the parks. I think it’s just a matter of time.

    Half excited that the place won’t be jammed, also concerned as fuck that they won’t be open.

    guessing my flight down will be empty.

    We’re supposed to leave on the 18th — I think they’re going to close the parks within the next couple of weeks. It’s a bummer, but we’re probably going to cancel today or tomorrow. Pretty fucking sad right now.

    Check your hotel bookings. Friend who works at Disney said their occupancy went from 100 to 22% this week. Rosen hotels are doing half off. Orlando is already getting killed economically so there are amazing deals to be had.

    As much as I want to say go for it, a half empty DCL cruise is awesome, it’s not worth the risk imo.

    that’s where I am leaving. The stress is going to fuck it up.

    if it was just me and my wife I would go and not think twice. Introducing two kids is going to make us cancel I believe. I am waiting till Friday afternoon to make final call.

    Kids are the safest of all, best immune system. but still. You don't want to get off the ship and potentially be 4 carriers because you wanted to go on vacation. Take your kids out of school in early november and do it then. Will still get a half empty cruise.

    Been ten days now since our last day in Anaheim. Apart from one kid having a head cold (his nasal congestion is inconsistent with corona symptoms), we're nearing the end of the potential incubation period with no indication of infection from all those handrails and packed lines

    Absolutely would not go now until this blows over

    join a bunch of the DVC facebook groups and put the company on blast. You will have a mob behind you soon enough.

    The cast members will probably be miserable during this entire thing. It also would be just a shitty feeling down there with everything looming — it would be impossible to completely enjoy yourself. Add in the guilt and it just doesn’t work for use. Now that we rescheduled for June, I honestly feel a lot better.

    I'm currently at 8 days since Disney World. Not to derail the thread but I feel like its going to be a rolling 10-14 day check for the foreseeable future as long as I am working at the office and completely inept at cooking on my own (so out for dinner many nights).

    I assume so. What happens when they close? How do I get my money back? I'm paid in full considering I was leaving in 2 days.

    I know I'm screwed on my flight, but at least I need to reschedule this trip.

    that’s if you can get anybody on the phone, I’ve been on hold with JetBlue for 50 mins now
