I noticed that on a couple of Vlogs I watched yeterday. I don't think the no mask thing lasted past CM preview.

Not too surprised. Even if there was no issue with it, better to stay consistent and across all attractions.

And it seems disney did nothing about it.

<— my surprised face

We were promised by insiders that Disney was going to be cracking down like never before. Hope we start to see that regularly. I personally feel they could be doing more, like staggered arrival times.

Looks like the biggest problem that came out of yesterday was the guest services line, and that was so large because of an unexpected issue.

Am I wrong in thinking the actual process of entering the park was fine, and the way they slow people with parking lot entry, no trams, and later arrivals of Disney transport was enough? Might self regulate even more once it gets out that the crowds were much heavier earlier in the day and then tapered off.

I find the staggered parking as a more than sufficient way to stagger entrance times. You cant really have actual staggered entrance times with the limited park hours, if you start doing that and people arent allowed into MK until noon or 1 in the afternoon, people are going to be angry

I’m sure DFB has people on Allergy Lady search duty today.

Not ideal for sure, and agreed the guest services line seemed to be the issue yesterday, but most people arriving at once is going to cause issues and backups that could be avoided as time goes on.

Nice avatar btw.

I suggested it when someone brought up being stuck in a queue with people moving their masks down. I think a “tattle” line is a better alternative than guests confronting each other over what is an already incredibly emotionally charged issue, especially in a place like a queue where you can’t as easily leave or find a CM to alert.

There are issues for sure, but this is how guest issues are handled at NHL games here. They have a line to guest services to text if there are issues in their section, because worse than guests having the ability to tell on each other is guests actually confronting each other.

We have it at Red Sox games here as well.

Has anyone noticed the "FP subject to availability" notes on splash mountain and Everest in MDE? Has this already been discussed?

But they’re not really all arriving at once. They’re allowing groups to park, get out of their car and head to the transportation of their choice, then allowing the next group to park and so on. As far as I’ve seen its not a free for all in the parking lots

@DGsAtBLT was saying that people themselves might self-regulate the time they arrive since the park cleared out later in the afternoon.

Couple of things though, it rained yesterday, so that may have impacted people leaving earlier. The second, maybe yesterday wasn't a good indicator of crowd either. I think there could have been a few vloggers and shoppers that showed up early and then left.

I do know that if I were going, after seeing yesterday, it would make me wait to go later in the afternoon, rather than at opening. Less time in the park wouldn't bother me, if I still had time to ride what I wanted.

Funny I’m more focused on buses and monorail arriving and letting off vs.TTC guests
