I'm starting to think by the time Disney opens I'll be in the 65+ at risk categoryBy the time Disney opens, they won't be required anymore.

Even governors have magical pixie dust filled dreams...DeSantis recently said “ I’ve been talking to Disney, they are so far ahead of the curve”.
I posted this in another thread, but you should be able to expect more from a company that wants you to plan dinner 180 days in advance than "We don't know about the next few weeks.I’m not upset with people not being upset, I’m just saying that this company doesn’t need people making excuses for them. Pandemic or not, they have access to the best of the best talent when it comes to strategy, risk management, analytics, and especially PR. They wouldn’t have the market valuation they do if they didn’t. The landscape at the end of April was clear enough for them to know what date they can actually target and reasonably meet, and if politically there would be an appetite for it. The whole NBA plan developing in May has to be the hang up for this and its making them look like a company that either enjoys mystery or can’t get it’s act together.
You missed the 'in terms of an announcement'. They do not owe anyone an opening date just because Universal has one.I mean they could but the board would overthrow leadership well in advance. Companies that act like they don’t owe their customers anything “won’t be in business for very long”.
I don't know - did they? If not, they should have - and I haven't been to universal in ages, so please correct me if I am wrong - do they have nighttime shows/parades, fireworks ?
Both parks should be decreasing ticket prices right now -
I wouldn't pay $200 to see a Broadway show that ended at intermission either -

And I’m sure that when you were upset with them there were many who would not have been upset in your situation. Why is it not ok for some people to be upset with them now just because you (and many others) think they are being reasonable? Many also feel they are being unreasonable in their communication. Each feeling is valid. I mean no disrespect. I like and agree with many of your posts. I just feel like in this situation people’s feelings either way can be valid. I don’t understand why everyone feels they have to argue with anyone who feels differently than them all the time anymore. I am frustrated. You are not. But that’s ok. I know it goes both ways.Oh the kool aid insults, are we still doing that?
People get so upset if you might actually not be upset with Disney once in a while...read my past posts, I'm upset with them more than I'm not.

There has been a lot of conversation about how they never should have allowed June reservations particularly the free dining deal back in March. And how they should still now cut off reservations indefinitely until they announce a date.
This, a thousand times this! That's all we're arguing here. Continuing to take reservations is just seeming cruel somehow at this point..... they should cut off reservations indefinitely until they announce a date.

At the time that they were giving that deal away, their intentions were almost certainly to open up June 1st. Theres no bright side for Disney giving away that promotion knowing they definitely wont be open. They probably didnt know that they couldn’t make that date until a couple of weeks ago, if not right up until they cancelled reservations (which came a day later than the previous 8 weeks). There are more variables Disney has to overcome that Universal doesnt, and none of them are the NBA. One of which is the hotel’s. They own and operate their property hotels, Universal doesnt. None of what was said today is any indication of a later, or earlier opening than July 1st. Both are still very possible with leaning towards before July 1st

During normal times, absolutely. Opening the largest theme park destination in the world in the middle of a pandemic is a little different.I posted this in another thread, but you should be able to expect more from a company that wants you to plan dinner 180 days in advance than "We don't know about the next few weeks.

I think this is really the crux of the problem for some people. But then again, I've always been frustrated with the amount of advanced planning a Disney vacation takes and then they change things at the last minute that can throw your plans into disarray. So I guess this is really nothing new.I posted this in another thread, but you should be able to expect more from a company that wants you to plan dinner 180 days in advance than "We don't know about the next few weeks.
Did Universal decrease ticket prices?
