I don't think we will they can sell out those ships no problem for the most part.If there are really many cancellations due to Zika I wonder if we'll start to see more specials on DCL cruises since they go into the heart of the problem.

IDK but 400 travel parties (half of the 800 trips planned that you mentioned) with a person who is pregnant or planning to become pregnant seems kinda high to me. People cancel trips for the unknown factor too...the fact that we don't necessarily know all of the ramifications to those who weren't pregnant at the time of getting zika and at this time people are concerned with the proximity WDW has to the Miami area (though for me it doesn't seem that close). Zika right now is the big scary thing that has some people concerned. I remember when West Nile Virus was the it thing (FWIW there have been 18 deaths from that this year alone, one in my state with 662 total cases of neuroinvasive and non-neuroinvasive disease cases and 120 cases discovered when people donated blood).Which actually makes me think there could be some truth to it. Of the 5,000 people surveyed, 800 had trips planned. How many people with trips planned are pregnant or possibly going to get pregnant (i.e. how many are thinking of having another child)? I would bet pretty high. I know if we were in that situation (or thinking of being in that situation within the next 6-8 months), I would cancel my trip.
Don't know how accurate this is but WDW News Today is reporting that half of people with reservations for a WDW vacation are canceling due to the Zika threat. There is not any information on who did this survey (maybe Universal Orlando?).

thats what florida residents and veteran's discounts are all about. but seriously I don't think that many reservations are being cancelled. most likely people are postponing trips that were in the planning stages and frankly the zika virus is in port cities. not orlando and the virus is being contained in those areas. and the international travelers are still coming.If there are really many cancellations due to Zika I wonder if we'll start to see more specials on DCL cruises since they go into the heart of the problem.
I love the Disney policy of "We'll destroy something you love, then we'll sell you a shirt/hat/item with it's name on it. And you'll buy it - dammit!"
And as I pointed out a few pages ago - I bought an Adventurer's Club sign - so yes guilty.

Not related to the park update - but Donald Glover as a young Lando in the Han Solo movie would be flippin' fantastic. (I want Donald Glover in everything, though.)
