No word yet on when Walt Disney World will reopen but Disney is obviously ecstatic at the thought of visitors once again spending huge sums of money. And they will, if the partial opening of Disney Springs is any indication.

NBA in talks to resume season at Disney World Florida
The NBA is in talks with The Walt Disney Company about restarting its suspended season at Disney World in Florida in late July after it was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is interesting. All the games may be played at the same place in Disney.

Walt Disney World's four theme parks will reopen in July. Visitors will have their temperature checked and will have to wear a face mask. Attendance will be limited and "social distancing" will be enforced. The parks "will provide masks to people who do not bring their own." Yeah, right, "provide." Last week, Disney announced there will be 59 different Disney-themed face masks available when the parks reopen. Prices start at $19. Leave it to Disney to make money off a pandemic.

Yea...Tokyo Disney opened opened their version of Disney Springs (the shopping/dining area) first as a test run and things seemed to go well so Orlando did the same thing. They have these weird stickers all over the ground telling people were not to stand. Seems like a smarted idea would be to tell people where to stand instead. Also, at Springs they do not provide masks....at least as of last week you have to bring your own and the only time it's ok to not wear it is while eating. They have spaced out all the dining tables.

I'll tell ya, there's nothing I'd rather do than stand in a series of 2-hour long lines in 95 degree weather with 5,000% humidity, wearing a face mask. Sign me up!

I think that the social distancing is a pipe dream inside the parks but I do think people will wear masks. If Walmart can get the masses to do it Disney can too.

"Hey! You! With the face covering!" "They all have face coverings." "Well, I made them all look. Now they know who's in charge." The Galactic Empire's shock troops have been reduced to enforcing social distancing by performing silly skits.

I watched this video a while back but it popped back into my Youtube recommendations. It's long but a really wild story. I'd love to have a stolen animatronic.
I don't really remember Buzzy or Cranium Command from the Wonders of Life pavilion but I have clear memories of the Body Wars simulator ride.

I just put some cash in the safe for a Disney trip on July 11th when it reopens. I know it is not the smartest idea seeing how I don't have a job at the moment but I've really been scrimping these days and I think a day trip will do me a lot of good. I don't care if I catch Corona 19 Covid Virus...I need some Splash Mountain and Carousel of Progress. And I already had money in my SunPass account from before all this went down so tolls are covered. I can make a bare bones round trip for like $50 if I pack my food and drinks.
Maybe I'll change my mind in the next month but right now I'm really feeling it.

CEO Bob Chapek said in a statement, "The killing of George Floyd has forced our nation to once again confront the long history of injustice that black people in America have suffered. It is critical that we stand together, speak out and do everything in our power to ensure that acts of racism and violence are never tolerated." Okay – but can any amount of money end racism and violence? I don't think so.

It's still weird to me to hear that. I'm so used to Iger or Eisner.
Eisner had some issues with Euro Disney but besides that both those guys did an amazing job during their time at the helm. I'm very interested to see how Chapek's legacy will turn out.
Hah, also Windows marks Chapek as misspelled. Not so for Iger and Eisner. I wonder how long it will take for that to change.

It's risky.
Take a couple of masks so you can change them during the day, and take your own hand sanitizer.
Act like everyone has it.
We do.
