I Heard Something About Walt Disney World

[Lt Keefer]

If this is the new normal until a vaccine for covid 19 is developed, why would anyone go to a place like an amusement park?

As long as they honor the tickets that I've already bought...

This story is purely the opinion of one wall street investment firm UBS. The story also says that other firms disagree. People don't read the whole story and just because it was on a TV station didn't mean that it's 100% accurate. Disney didn't even respond to the station's inquiry. The story also mentions that Disney is taking reservations for June 1, 2020 and later with the possibility that they may have to refund if sanctions are extended.

Since I've got reservations in their RV Park for early September: I hope that the story was just some fake news!

Cancelled our Dec reservations already.

Disney's opening this year on limited basis is consistent with what we are hearing on Fox ten PM news in West Palm Beach, Florida. And on CNN last night (5/2/20) Dr Fauci indicated that a vaccine by Jan 2021 is feasible assuming no major setbacks. He says the FDA is accelerating testing.

I believe in what Fauci says.
This will only be really safe if we have a vaccine, until it comes back again mutated and stronger next time....it's a virus....they all do it since we can't kill them, we just try to treat them.

Ya like the tickets are so cheap that no one would notice if they'd double it. Great unless you're the beginning of the 51st% and above.

Just like driving the interstates now is so much more pleasant. Almost no left lane Louie's, but still got middle lane hogs.

Did you cancel them; or did they?

Well, instead of taking the kids to the park this year, I think I'll just buy some Disney stock instead. It'll come back.

That's really not a bad choice...

Nobody said "this" is the new normal. The comment was if 50% capacity for Disney, etc was the new normal for amusement parks. Gotta read all the words.
