Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) On Entertainment & Tourism Industry

I just saw the posts about the Disney face masks and while that’s not a bad price, it kind of sucks because of the small businesses that were making better and more appealing masks than Disney and got pushed to the side like always.

I agree. The masks that I've bought so far are from small businesses. The ones from shopDisney are cute, but I want to support small businesses and wear ones with unique designs.

At this point, Disney might need the money more. Lol

Isn’t Disney giving the money from mask purchases to charity, though?

Up to $1 million, through Sep only I believe.

I mean it’s not an awful idea for a family. They all live with each other so doing one would be ok.

I get the idea of a family all going out together and looking to experience something outside again, just an odd choice I would have thought!

Also wouldn't have been my first guess at what opens up quick but fair play to them trying to get business going again.

Yeah I would think even allowing a limited amount of people would be better than staying closed. It’s better imo than Dave and busters where it’s just strangers all around. This is a little more intimate and able to be cleaned after every run.

Not to mention, the in-between cleaning gives time for the air to thin and settle.

A lot of it may be ramp up as well. Even running limited people at break even or a small loss is worth it to get word out again.

I Hope Universal has some masks for sale when they reopen....I would get a Simpsons one, Potter one, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future and Possibly Jaws.

Too bad Nintendo land isn't here yet...or I'd buy this one too

I heard that a few restaurants at CityWalk might be opening soon (at 25% capacity).

Parkscope brought on a thing posted on twitter, confirming that tenants are looking to reopen Universal Citywalk as soon as May 11th. Ambitious, it is.

With Margaritaville being it’s own company with it’s own responsibilities, I wonder if the Universal restaurants will do the same or will hold out for a bit longer.

I'd wager they'll try things, because for something like Hot Dog Hall of Fame, they could do something simple in the terms of grab-n-go.

Considering Universal apparently has reopening dates for the Hotels in mind too, I'd say nothing is off the table for at-least Citywalk. At the very least; this should hopefully allow Universal to gauge how to handle things going forward for the sake of COVID-19, in measures that can be taken.

Taking a bet we’ll know more tomorrow and Wednesday.
