Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jim Hill.

It's Me, Lantesta, and this is a special five minute update show

that we've recorded on Friday, that's Schmer's day for the rest of us,

May 29th, 2020.

Let's get started by bringing in the man who refers to fondue is drinking cheese. It's Mr. Jim Hill. Jim how's it going?

Sorry a little too much drinking cheese this morning, Lynn.

Carry on. As as normal, we recorded a show yesterday, Thursday about the reopening dates that we got from Walt Disney World, from the Orange County Economic Task Force on their meeting of May 27th,

again, which was on a Wednesday.

And then Thursday night, I don't know about you, Jim, but my cell phone exploded with a bunch of people

texting me saying Disney's gonna make an announcement tonight and it's gonna be

huge low and behold Jim they weren't kidding.

Disney dropped an update after everything closed Thursday night.

Let's go over what those things are.

Number one, all dining reservations that have been made are cancelled.

All of them.

If you had an ADR, you don't have it anymore.

Offrings and experience bookings such as behind the scenes tours all canceled now.

We kind of figured that those things might happen because of capacity.

Here I think were the two big ones. Dining plans will not be offered

from now until September 26, 2021. So 16 months without a Disney dining plan, Jim, that was a surprise.

That also gives you some idea of how long the ramp up back to normal maybe.

What drove that though?
