Yeah, cause getting through to SOME companies’ customer service is a pain.Their announcement that all the resort hotels will close this Friday makes me wonder how much time they’ll actually give!

8 weeks is a HOPE. Reality is this is likely well into June/July in the states and many businesses and organizations are operating under worse case scenario possibility. I think essentially we were certainly thinking May, the people thinking two weeks or 4 weeks were out of their minds. But since cases went from zero to 150 in Florida in 2 weeks and the expectation is that due to exponential increases this could go from 150 to 2000 in the next 2 weeks and then 2k to 20K in the 2 weeks after that. This isnt going to be prettyJust coming to post this. Shocking that it is eight weeks.

I can see them doing time based rolling closures 2 weeks at a time up to the 8 week out so that they do not overwhelm customer services all at once I am thinking that completing this process could take 2 to 4 weeks, but is likely to start this week
Something I', very curious about if this DOES extend into June/July.... how will that effect all of the reservations that booked with free dining? Are they just SOL? Only available to rebook on the existing dates? How will this get handled?8 weeks is a HOPE.

I think you have a point, I think resorts may open at the same time as the parks BUT not all resorts at once. Some resorts wont reopen until bookings justify it. I can also see MK and DHS openings a few days before other parks. Timing based on staffing and guest demand.So just to be contrarian:
Why not announce the reopening (whenever it is) with short notice and in stages...parks open first with the resorts opening a week or more later...gets the local and short traveling crowds out of the way (which they will all want to be there upon reopening). Then the folks farther away start making their return as the resorts open and finally the normal 6-12 month planners start to return (some long term planners will be there from the initial reopening). Not sure if there is a personnel advantage to this - though there might be - definitely a reopening effort advantage (being able to re-man over time), a crowd advantage, and likely a shorter closing time for the parks (if they opened first)... just a thought, feel free to shoot holes as appropriate...
I would imagine they would honor existing bookings, and as long as you purchased the reservation during the promotional window, but had to defer due to COVID-19, they would still be valid.Something I', very curious about if this DOES extend into June/July.... how will that effect all of the reservations that booked with free dining?

Not picking on you but this idea in general. What crisis?? There hasn’t been one. The numbers haven’t jumped up and doubled in the US for the last few days like they are “supposed” to. (I’ve been following the official WHO tallies).There may be Christmas parties this year, but no MNSSHP.
Theme parks will be the absolute last thing to reopen. Thousands of people standing in line is not something the government will allow until the crisis has been fully over for months.
We haven't seen a jump in numbers because the US is barely testing people. We don't have access to a lot of tests and the ones we do take a long time to receive results, so they're being used sparingly.Not picking on you but this idea in general. What crisis??

So clearly social distancing is helping. Many people have the virus and have very mild symptoms. It hasn’t reached any type of crisis level so I don’t understand why we keep seeing more and more intense closures and shut downs, and predictions that it will be six months until things are open again.
