Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[Remy is Up]

Disney parks revenue is about 37% of the business. They have other places to offset the short term loss. I’m sure if they’re smart they saved enough from the insanely high prices we pay.

The company will be fine. Effected employees not so much.

Any bets on how long until we get a similar announcement for Disney World?

Its also up to people to be held to that standard as well. Getting on a plane KNOWING you have tested positive is not cool either. Yet people do it. The inherently selfish human being poses just as much of a threat as does Businesses remaining open. Rather than just demonizing businesses for getting a plan together, lets hold individuals accountable even more.

What business should remain open?

The more you look at the numbers, we should be taking a close look at what South Korea is doing vs. Italy... (Not sure what the answer there is, but their outbreaks started around the same time, but it seems as though its taken two very differing tracks in the two countries...)

Think South Korea took it seriously from the start, tested early and often, knowing what was happening nearby. Italy didn't, the wine and dine culture continued unabated until it was unsustainable.

Unfortunately, we're WAY behind on testing.

From the quote from Disney:
"Disney will continue to pay cast members during this time.”

It sure would when people were dying in hospital hallways and being turned away at the door.

Has this happened?

Disney will almost certainly weather this. The cruise lines on the other hand are in big big trouble.

Testing. South Korea is testing anyone and everyone and isolating the cases. An article said Italy saw the signs and ignored them until it could no longer be controlled and spiraled out of control.

what other places?
disney cruise line probably will probably shut down before wdw
Movies. Movies theatres could possibly shut down.
adventures by Disney not much business there and could possibly shut down.
there hotels who wants to go to their hotels if no wdw or Disneyland. Except for the three in other places.
disney plus is safe but operates at a loss.
they do have all the tv channels abc,ESPN, Disney channel, free form and lots others.
Hulu and espn plus probably a loss there.
Most people don’t buy movies like they use to.

[Fido Chuckwagon]

Well and the people who do excursions and tours. We sell t shirts all over the USA so we will be out of luck.

What business should remain open?

Drug stores, gas stations, grocery stores. Essential services basically.

By the end of the day.

I actually think the multimedia part of their empire sees a bump sometime next week when our country goes into lockdown like Italy. Lots of new Disney+ subscriptions...

So we should shut down the country all together for 60-90 days because the peak isnt expected for 4-6 weeks and lasts 3-4. Who will have a job? What business will be left? Business has to continue in some form or other.
