I thik that is 100 percent correct. I do not see companies traveling on business near as much as before as it saves the bottom line and also customers probably will not allow face to face calls as much as before for a while. Given that scenario most of the people traveling will be for vacation? again,,That is my 2 cents worth 1/2 a cent.:0008
I would love to be the first person on the plane headed to an island somewhere.
Knowing that's probably not the safest thing to do I'm sure we're going to wait maybe a year before we go.
There will be people jumping on first flights but I don't think they will be filling planes right away.

And places like Disney World are a very interesting case. They are talking about doing "virtual queues" where you get a number and don't get in line until your number comes up. That would certainly make for a better visitor experience but the reason Disney can cram so many people into their parks is because at any given time they can count on 2/3 of that crowd being contained in lines. Without actual lines you have all those people in the walkways, shows, restaurants, stores, etc. Assuming that they want social distance everywhere, I don't see any way around them needing to cut park capacity to like 1/3 of what it was. It would stand to reason that if they have to cut capacity that much that ticket prices (already high as hell) will have to soar to compensate. It will also likely mean that Disney parks will reach capacity every single day - so now you have to turn away vacationers or make them wait in line for hours just to get in the park. And if you get turned away one day - what are you going to do the next? You are going to get in line 2 hours before the park opens to make sure you get in. So now they've got to develop a giant, socially distant queue system between the parking lot and the main gates. What an unholy mess!
The kids and I went to Universal Studios Orlando over Xmas, and Disneyland in early February. Man, that is looking like the luckout of a lifetime right now!

I Would think they would sell tickets as if it was an arena or ball park and you would go online as you plan your trip and buy tickets just as you would a baseball game,,When the ballpark was sold out that was it,,BUT,,agree with tickets going through the roof,but as usual im betting on the mouse!
