I just had my Royal Caribbean cruise cancelled (thank whatever deity you pray to) and it was very very clear that if you took the 125% credit you would NOT be able to ever get a full refund. Maybe Disney is different. I hope it is for you.We took the 125% on our Disney cruise because our travel agent said we could change our mind and do the 100% cash later if we wanted.
Hopefully she didn't just make that part up.
Our Norwegian cruise was cancelled back in March. We were offered 125% credit and some other perks. We opted for the refund instead. Got an email back then that it would be up to 90 days to process. We still have not seen the refund. Though I would enjoy a cruise in the future, I’ll never do it again. When we booked, they took our money that very minute. They won’t do me the same courtesy. Honesty right now, I’d be happily surprised to see my money before they declare bankruptcy or just plain steal it.
and I'd want to know how season passholders fit in. I asked above about the % of people at Disney that were US citizens vs from a different country for this reason. If it's like a 50/50 split, it might be that this reduction takes care of itself given people from other countries can't even get here to go if they wanted to.
I am quoting this sick #### again because it is this kind of nasty that has me convinced I am not going back to a theme park......for years. Dear lord man.
not trying to be combative, but you guys realize that at some point that same kid may be on a playground before yours, sat at the same table in a restaurant before you, touched and put back every toy before you bought your kid one for a birthday gift...etc.
Read a rumor that they may even just limit it to Florida residents to start.The Commish said:

I've been fighting this battle with my wife for years. She's a scientist and extreme germaphobe (when it suits her). The part in parentheses is probably true of a lot of us, and if we sit down and think about it, it doesn't take long to realize what a dirty world we live in. This fiasco is making us face that and some don't like what they are seeing.
Well summer is technically only a few weeks away so that doesn't seem too crazy. If they're going to host the NBA they also might be taking longer to work out their reopening plan, right?
I don’t disagree with you.
as have been movie theaters, bounce and play spaces, zoos, playgrounds, nursery schools, etc.
From what I was reading, they were looking at more like early august.
I guess what I meant by "too hyper aware" was the wiping down of every surface we contacted and going through this crazy radiation level procedure of putting on 4 sets gloves, opening the car door with our feel, holding out breath as we walk past people and having a ultra-sanitizing spray station set up in our garage for when we got home. I'm kidding of course, but at the start of this, you would think everything we encountered was "Lava" as my kids put it. lolI'm not sure there is a such thing as "too hyper aware" GB.

And its not just local kids. Its kids from all over the country and international as well.
SeaWorld CEO speaking now. Disney presentation is next up. Direct youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOiTUfdhk1k
My thoughts exactly.
Reservation system and wearing a mask all day in the august heat, boy where do I sign up
I assume that's outside the scope of this presentation, it's really just about how they propose to safely reopen.
That seems made up. There's only so much parking there anyway. Granted - as bored as I've been and stir crazy there's a slight possibility I would stand in that line just for something to do.
I drove by there Sunday and they had at least one of the parking structures closed off as well as a bunch of surface parking on the west side.
It’s true. Line was gigantic and they are only letting a few in at a time. It’s not a traditional 6 hour wait like you’d think of, but a lot of people and limited slots.
Yeah, I'm still leaning towards fake or exaggerated but I do think it's possible. Let's take a simple hypothetical - let's say the place holds 700 people and the average patron stays in the store for an hour. If they are only letting 100 in at a time, the other 600 that would normally be going in are on line - that could be a 6-hour wait. Granted, that's crazy to actually wait in but it's at least more plausible than I thought at first.
Yep, I've got my Oct trip in mind too. I'm going for a conference and usually stay a few days to park hop, but I'll have to gauge where this things is going and if there is any possibility of a reinfection chance in fall.
Yeah, we haven't spent a penny on the trip at this point so I can take it or leave it. If we can go, we're going though.
And that is really my point. You have people from all over the world coming into the theme parks. Why would anyone want to go to a theme park now. I would be waiting till this thing tides over to do that kind of travel. I mean think about that.
I would feel far more comfortable in a jam packed park full of people from Europe and Asia than one full of the average American. We simply don't have the self awareness or desire to do the needful to drive the benefit of all.
Same boat, we were supposed to go for the first, and maybe only, time about two months ago, and ended up rescheduling it for October. But if we have to walk around in masks the whole week for a watered-down experience, I'll probably just end up canceling.
Ok then.
Please don't read more into my post. I'm not going anytime soon unless it's an incredibly small number of people in the parks. My point was, my concern isn't with those from other countries as much as it is with fellow Americans. While it should be a year + from now that masks aren't required, if current behavior is any indication, it will be a mere matter of months before masks are an afterthought. I am willing to bet there will be several "confrontations" documented on youtube in the coming months.
