My concern is how long they can go like this. Disney and Universal are massive companies to be sure but there comes a breaking point with no revenue coming in, even with efforts to minimize that impact...
i meant while ordering and stuff

Yeah all the people who complain about Comcast ownership have to be quiet after this. Without Comcast Universal might not have made it out of this.im almost certain the parks will be “mobile ordering” only for a while
Universal probably could hold out longer, just by the virtue of being owned by Comcast

Why would people expect masks provided by UO not to be washed and cleaned?

Yep. Hate their customer service side all you want, but they are the best thing to happen to the parks.I remember being one of the few proponents of Comcast buying the parks back in the day. The company gives the parks financial security they almost never had. Hell Comcast is still going full bore on a third park in the middle of an economic downturn with no one having any idea how long it could last. That’s incredibly exciting
The masks work both ways. Obviously, they're to protect people from the virus, but they also help you from accidentally ingesting droplets or things like that. It also helps with the little touches to our face we sometimes do without thinking. Without wearing a mask, you could be giving yourself coronavirus from hand-to-mouth. With a mask on, it's covering your Mouth and nose, so if you go to touch your face, there will be a protective barrier already in place.If you have a problem with the masks, you should have the same issue with cutlery, napkins and cups.
The big problem with most masks is that people don't seem to realise that for them to work in a theme park, they're there to protect everyone else, not you. If you have the virus, it stops you spreading it, it will do a poor job of stopping you getting it.
It only works if everybody wears them.

And yes, it does only truly work if everyone is wearing one, but you're still safer with one on either way. Especially since you can be asymptomatic with the virus, you may be a carrier and never know it. Wearing a mask stops super spreaders.
Obvious cure for football rowdies.
This reminds me of something i'd expect if I went to North Korea.
How would you (and the public) react if when the parks reopen, the visits are scheduled in blocks. For example, many rentals up in Cape Cod are check in on Sunday, check out on Saturday. Could WDW or Universal try to use some strategy like this to have a better idea of who's coming and going from the resort?
I'll use Cabana Bay as the example here:
Week 1: The left side of the resort (Continental/Americana) is open to guests, as well as the food court (mobile order), main lobby, etc.
Week 2: The right side of the resort is open to guests, as well as the food court, main lobby, etc. Meanwhile, the cleaning crews have a full week (or however many days the window is) to sanitize the left side of the hotel for Week 3's guests.
I'm sure there's many holes in this idea, so tweak as you all might see fit. One big problem that I see is length of stay. While some find value in an entire week at Universal, others may only see the value in 2/3/4 days. Perhaps each hotel represents a different length of stay? Or certain weeks are available as week long only stays while others are split into half week stays?
ie. June 7-13 may only be booked as a full week stay, but June 14-20 is split into two windows (June 14-17 and June 18-20).
At check-in, each incoming guest could be checked for temperature or whatever other metric that they use for sickness (at one of the unused hotel areas (Saphire Convention area?), sign any waivers needed, then make their way to their respective hotel. I think this idea minimizes the chance of day ticket guests coming from outside locations, and allows for things to operate a bit more smoothly within the actual parks.
The only outside "influence" would be employees, who could be tested each day at the start of their shift.
I don't see how this helps that much, and it creates more problems, namely:How would you (and the public) react if when the parks reopen, the visits are scheduled in blocks.

I agree on the housekeeping part. That’s why I’m suggesting that when the left side of the hotel is in use, the right side is where all the housekeeping crew is stationed to sanitize the rooms for the next weeks arrival.Realistically, I don’t think that housekeeping can be an option during a guests stay. A thorough clean will needed between guests.
I know that Disney do security checks in rooms so I don’t know how that will be effected.
I don't see how this helps that much, and it creates more problems, namely:
1. It creates the risk of cruise-embarkation style crowds and chaos at the check in area,
2. It crushes demand by limiting dates, making profitability even harder, and
3. It doesn't account for already reserved hotels or APs.
Also, it's not good enough to just check temperatures on a guest's arrival day, and if you're talking about doing actual coronavirus tests daily for employees, that's simply not feasible.
