Walt Disney World Discussion | 04/07/20
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The hosts of the podcast discuss the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Walt Disney World and the broader travel industry. They analyze a Forbes interview with Bob Iger, which suggests that Disney may implement increased scrutiny, such as temperature checks and mask requirements, to ensure guest safety upon reopening. The conversation covers the logistical challenges of social distancing, potential crowd control measures like virtual queues, and the possibility of staggered park openings. The creators also address specific Disney business units, noting that while Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney World have been responsive to guest needs through rebooking options and credits, other units like Adventures by Disney and Disney Vacation Club have faced criticism for slower communication and policy changes. The discussion concludes with speculation regarding the future of Disney's 50th anniversary celebrations, the financial stability of the company, and the likelihood of seasonal events like the Food and Wine Festival returning in the fall.

I've been saying it a lot over the last few weeks we have to get comfortable with not knowing and that's tough.
