1. Not a surprise

I have reservations at ohana's at Polynesian hotel at Disney on April 2nd. Seven months ago they were the first available. Guess they are cancelled. Yes I know first world problem.

9. In typical Disney fashion: All of their in-park Tchotchke stands and stores will stay open.

.

When they close a park or sections of a park because of low staff levels, a majority of the rides will be closed, but they manage to find employees to keep their food and merchandise stands / stores open. You take that park hopper over to the closed park--not being told it was partially scuttled, and waste two to three hours roaming around a desolate park... but you can buy pins and toys.

3. That's all hourly employees

technically, I am a cast member, too, but I'm not paid hourly.

But, I still have some projects I can work against so, so far, I'm still getting paid, too.

4. Great...I may have to dip into vacation/sick time based on the email I just got

Will have to wait til next week, likely, to find out if I'll continue to get paid past March 31

5. Not that it wasn't close already, but Florida is about to fall to 3rd world status...

Tourism is dead for the forseeable future...

6. it'll come back.

people are being held back practically with force to keep from coming back to Disney or the beaches.

I've been looking at disney boards all over

7. We are still at the beginning of all this... once the death toll hits, that will change

Theme parks are almost as big a vector as cruise ships...
