Paul lives in Orlando, Florida with his wife, Amy, and their three Spanish galgos, Hermès, Cinders, and Emerson. They’re Disney Vacation Club Members at five resorts, Disney World Annual Passholders, and always on the lookout for new ways to enjoy and maximize their DVC points. When he’s not at the parks or planning their next trip, Paul loves cooking (big Alton Brown fan), training for Disney races with Amy, and blasting Billy Joel in the background.

Not only has Direct been impacted by having less perks to offer vs Resale, DVC guests have had a much harder time than cash guests through all of this, and it also looks like all onsite guests will be losing some perks for a while.
I’m curious to see what creative solutions WDW comes up with to build value confidence again.

Pete…they must have insurance. Lloyds of London and others have reinsurance polices for pandemic. For a company like Disney, not to have that kind of insurance would be crazy. Especially the business they are in which involves people to make their money. Won’t cover it all but they would be negligent not having that kind of coverage. I’ve done Crisis Management for a large company and my brother worked for a major reinsurance company. Cutting costs is always the wise thing to do as well, and budget re looks also, but it’s not that dire for a company like Disney. Just a temporary burp. Buy the stock while it’s down!
