Considering Florida colleges are planning onsite classes and dorms open I’d say you are wrongs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Florida hasn't ended their ban on dorm-style living due to COVID-19
Because it keeps Disney from hiring more employees who will join the union.Why does the union hate the CP's so much? I was reading the chatter on some of the board threads but didn't want to ask that question on threads where it wasn't relevant.
My dd was in the SA 2020 and sent home, of course....She is hoping to go back for SA 2021 but I'm also starting to think that might be an unlikely situation. I definitely do not think the Fall 2020 kids will get to go, and that makes me so sad for them, and I just wish Disney would tell them asap so they can make their plans for the semester.
I’m actually hopeful too (don’t have a pony in this race though) as with all the enhanced cleaning and policing of lines etc they will still need more cast to ensure stuff is done properly. If they do cancel DCP last minute I have to say that may sour me on Disney for good. I sent an email to Igers office and actually got a phone call back when they abruptly cancelled and then through poor communication- seemed to be kicking DCP out with a day. Now it could just have been a “we are listening and then now off call” but I was ticked off- mind you I don’t have a DCP in the program then or future. But I hope they did actually listen to concerns.So far everyone who replied on this thread is been negative on fall 2020 being canceled. I on the other hand feel very positive that Fall will go on as planned. It is now less than 60 days until our DD has to report on 8/3 and unless they dont give a crap about the kids or their parents as far as the travel plans they had to make to get there, I am hoping for the best. If we dont get some kind of yes or no confirmation soon then we are in danger of losing our DVC points that we put out for this stay. The airfare not as much but it would still be a cancellation with no refund, just future credit.

I don't mean to be negative and I'm very sorry for the uncertain situation your family and your dd are in. I truly hope the Fall DCP goes on as planned. I definitely think you need to hope for the best but very much, be prepared for it to be cancelled.So far everyone who replied on this thread is been negative on fall 2020 being canceled.

My dd was down at wdw in March in her DCP when Disney very abruptly gave the kids 3 days to get packed up and moved out of the apartments - all while still working. It was extremely stressful for us parents who live across the country and for these kids who just had their entire world turned upside down. Disney support during all this? Pretty much at a zero. The little bit they did offer wasn't known to most of the DCP'ers. You could say they didn't 'give a crap about the kids or their parents’, however, I really don’t believe that. I just think everything was hitting the fan and this program wasn’t getting much in terms of resources to help the kids. The whole deal was handled so poorly. My dd paid the $390 program fee plus it cost a decent amount to get her moved down there and then to move her back home. Her program dates were Feb 3-Aug 6 so she took a lot of stuff. The kids were told they would retain their CM discounts through when their program would have ended. They were told they would keep HUB access. None of that happened. Program fee even partially refunded? Nope. Then the Fall Advantage kids were cancelled with about a month to go before their program so don’t think for a minute that Disney is worried about giving you a lot of notice.
Best wishes to your dd! I truly hope this next group gets to go.
So true. We are supposed to check in our resort in just over a month (part dvc/part cash). No clue what is up with our reservation and if our resort will be open. I think our dvc will be fine but not the cash....Beginning to look for other places we can stay. Disney really should communicate a bit betterI don’t think Fall DCP is going to happen. Disney doesn’t give a lot of notice to their employees or their consumers....
From the DLR union: the DLR CP officially will not resume until all CMs have been called back to work. WDW is expected to put out a similar statement.

And this is from what source? How come this hasn't shown up on any other media sources?
Didn’t the union that represents wdw CMs already release something like this? Basically saying the CPs won’t be back anytime soon?It has shown up on other media sources. Lol. Here's Orange County Registry's post from yesterday talking about Disneyland agreeing to the Union negotiations, and here's Inside the Magic's post specifically talking about the College Program at DLR, which includes the tweet with this exact screenshot.

ETA: read the inside the magic post and saw reference to what I was thinking of.
