yes, Touring Plans had long ago predicted for smaller crowds for these past couple of days...................Now, Feb. was something else though. Touring plans said Feb. 2020 had more 9 and 10 level crowds than they've ever seen for this time of year.It's also just the lull between holidays and Spring Break.
Heard on radio convention business already starting to feel the effects.At least one convention cancelled next week. OCCC bound to be hit hard first, as I think corporate travel will be cancelled out of an abundance of caution before families start to panic (if that ever even happens).
On a related front, g/f had an email from Carnival. You can get a 7-night cruise for $60. Not per night, whole cruise. So another industry to keep an eye on as a harbinger of the parks.
HWS was predicted to be a 10/10 crowd level by touringplans today but..View attachment 11784
It's also the "slow" week before Spring Breaks start in earnest and then run into Easter in April.CMs are blocked out now through May, and CMs (especially CPs) make up a disproportionate number of park guests, especially this time of year when they just started their programs.

People gonna protect their families and not take them around for now. I would.Heard some rumors out of Disneyland, things are apocalyptic. Boarding groups open for hours because there aren’t enough people to fill them in the park. Hotel occupancy below 50%.
Yikes, what a mess... hopefully things rebound quick enough that it doesn't effect the travel industry too much. I'm concerned for Epic Universe

We know that but the GP? They will not take a chance if there is even a sliver of expectation that one of their loved ones will get it. Much more of this type of thinking in California than the east I think. Not a dis just an observationLike honestly unless you are around the elderly and those with compromised immune systems this isn’t some “protect my family” thing. More just irrational fear that’ll send us into a recession.

Yup, normally when big conferences are in town, they rent out the parks.Week-long HIMSS conference next week at OCCC that was big enough to have Trump as a speaker has been cancelled. Website says it was supposed to draw 45k. Devastating news for I-Drive, but has to spill over into some bad news for UOR and WDW as well.
You're downplaying this wayyyy too much. To a risky extent. And it's not just the elderly. If you have certain pre-existing conditions - which ANYBODY could have - you are a higher risk person. Can you point that person out in a crowd though? No, because it could be you for all I know.Like honestly unless you are around the elderly and those with compromised immune systems this isn’t some “protect my family” thing.
