Orange County has over 80% of their hospital beds in use right now. Maybe the fact that guests needing medical care could overflow the system is a factor.
You must stay in your visitor lodging/home to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19 to other people. This means:
- Do not use shared facilities such as pools, spas, gyms, restaurants, or bars
- Ask someone to drop off food and other necessities at your front door or order room service
- Do not go to public places such as the beach, work, school, shopping centers, childcare, or local attractions
They need to at least announce a target date for opening DVC resorts or a date range. They can qualify it by saying they are separate from the parks division and there’s no guarantee parks will be open by their date, yada yada. But I think the lack of communication is definitely ridiculous and at this point, it is getting negligent.
I’m curious as to what point members should start contacting DVC and mentioning legal action.
Fearless prediction: WDW DVC Resorts + Vero + Hilton 6/8, WDW Parks 6/15, Downtown Disney (Anaheim) end of June/early July, Disneyland mid to late July, Aulani maybe Aug
IMO, that would be an empty threat.I’m curious as to what point members should start contacting DVC and mentioning legal action.
But VB is in Indian River County and HHI is in Beaufort county...Orange County has over 80% of their hospital beds in use right now. Maybe the fact that guests needing medical care could overflow the system is a factor.
So if all others are open, are you suggesting they are not following expert advice and guidelines? Did every other operator get it wrong, and only Disney got it right?Disney is planning to present their opening plans to Orange County, or whoever it is this week. Nothing negligent about waiting until they have their plan in place before making an announcement. I can wait till they have all their information together before releasing opening dates. It does no good to hear that they will open in a few weeks. Then people will complain that it's not specific enough.
Why on earth would people want to start legal action? This is an unknown pandemic where we don't know the future. Disney goes by the advise of lawyers, health experts and government guidance. What would you sue for? DVC isn't open, and I want to go...NOW....Marriott is open, so DVC has to open now too, or else!
Disney and all its components are hemorrhaging money. They want to get back to business as soon as possible, but they have to get it right. If I was at the top, I would be much more concerned that I have all the safety features in place for my cm's and guests than whether DVC opens next week or next month. Those wrongful death lawsuits are real.
AbsolutelyI think if they go and open the hotels to the NBA and not to DVC members then there might be a path for legal action. If staff can be brought in and risked to work for NBA players and staff then why not paying members? I know the NBA thing is not a done deal - but it will be interesting to see what happens if they do house the players and staff in Disney owned hotels and do not open hotels for DVC.
Not at all. I'm saying Disney is supposed to present their opening plans this week. Are you saying every other timeshare in Florida is open right now and DVC is the only place closed?So if all others are open, are you suggesting they are not following expert advice and guidelines?

I really don’t know who is open, and who is not.Not at all. I'm saying Disney is supposed to present their opening plans this week. Are you saying every other timeshare in Florida is open right now and DVC is the only place closed?
Not every but many are open and withing 2 weeks the vast majority. The apparent fact that DVC was not required to submit a plan to reopen yet Disney corporation decided to wait for the plan for the parks demonstrates the point.Not at all.

Absolutely
There is no way Disney would be able justify opening resorts for NBA players and families and keeping DVC owners locked out not being able to use their units. That I think would break our contracts we signed.
A union agreement can not be a justification for not meeting the requirements of statute. I run into this regularly in my SPED advocacy workOnce Disney decides to allow CMs back to work to run any resort, they have to allow them to come back for all DVC resorts, unless there is a specific order in place that prevents it...I am thinking the ones not in FL.
Again, with Disney being the property manager, they have a lot of power in terms of reopening...but, there would be no justification for them to not to open DVC if they are housing NBA.
Except they didn't close them that way, so I can't believe that's an accurate statement. VB, DHHIR and ALU stayed open after the others closed, so it would seem that they could re-open at different times as well.Once Disney decides to allow CMs back to work to run any resort, they have to allow them to come back for all DVC resorts, unless there is a specific order in place that prevents it...I am thinking the ones not in FL.

But as subsidiary corporation of Disney the are by definition a separate legal entity with it their own legal responsibility. If DVCs relationship with Disney corporate prevents that then there is a big issueThe reason DVCM doesn’t need to submit their own plans is because Disney is our property manager. They are the ones that control operations of the resorts.
