And temperature checks

So with the CM schedule thing that we are anxiously awaiting, will it say where CMs will work like MK, DHS etc?

 

[GusGusTheMouse]

That's a nicely written CYA honestly...

Speaking as an attorney, I concur and think it gets an A+ in CYA!

 

[Welsh_Dragon]

Speaking as an attorney

Perhaps writing? Just being pedantic.

The lifeguard thing is interesting. . . . We always have lifeguards at our pool- at least two if not three at any given time- but we were told there is a lifeguard shortage this year because the typical time they use to train new lifeguards in in April and no one could train this year. I wonder if Disney could have a similar issue. I assume they train in-house. I don't know if the lifeguard shortage is just local or if that is going to be typical in a lot of places.

I was referring to the language at Universal about how people should assess their own risk and how Universal could not guarantee a virus-free environment. That is the language that lawyers are giving their clients, regardless of the businesses they are running. It is funny to me that we have to provide written notice to people that we can't guarantee they won't catch a virus. That should be as obvious as Spaceship Earth from the Epcot turnstiles.

Just a note in Florida lifeguard certification is a two year license so some should be ok to go

When I was a LG at Disney way back in the day ( I worked at RC) it was done in house at the Orlando YMCA. Water Park training was done there as well and by the meanest man I have ever met in my life!

Meanest man, huh? No wonder the lifeguards at Disney are so good at their jobs. They’ve been scared to death.

Since the YMCA has presumably been closed, I wonder how and if they were able to train lifeguards. Maybe they have enough already since their pools aren’t seasonal?

Also want to add that the lifeguard positions are also often filled by CPs. With all of the CPs sent home, I would bet they lost a good number of lifeguards they had trained for spring program (Jan - May) and spring advantage (Jan. - July/Aug.) who will not be able to work when Disney reopens because they were on the CP. They may need to hire a lot of local lifeguards depending on when they open.

Who knows when the next CP will be.

They have a cm retreat park, that includes pools, it's called Mickey's retreat, that's where they do the lifeguard training

I will see my DD, from dhs, then I message all my friends and ask if they got theirs too.

 

[yulilin3]

The scheduled dropped, for dhs attractions, which is what i can see now, no one scheduled through the 23rd. Im waiting until it's a little later to ask the rest of people i know
I have a friend in mk strollers who got the union survey asking if she was willing to work at another post while the parks reopen and she said yes, so she could potentially be sent to DS when they reopen

 

[wdw_dine_junkie]

What about schedules for resort CMs?

 

[charmed59]

If I’m understanding timing correctly, CMs for the parks could be called back the 24th, giving them a week to train before a June 1st park opening? We just know the park CMs weren’t called back for next week. We haven’t entirely dashed hopes for June 1st yet.

 

[lilypgirl]

Can someone please fill me in on what’s going on with the schedules? have seriously missed something and I have no idea where to catch up at. Thanks

 

[GeorgiaHoo]

I am 100% against the no fans thing. My home football teams both have notoriously loud stadiums. It would be horrible to see them empty. Just my opinion of course.

I'm a big soccer fan and most of the European leagues are going to play behind closed doors for the foreseeable future, although some leagues canceled the rest of this season, which was scheduled to run through June/July.

It's just another way we can see when the parks will reopen, they will need to call the CM at least a week before reopening to train them again, so we look for their schedules to come out
Usually the schedules come out every Sunday but this week (as well as the first 2 weeks of closures) the schedule came out on Wednesday. I can see my DD who works at DHS and I ask all my friends to see if they got scheduled for something'My DD says "no shift" through the 23rd

 

[yulilin3]

One more thing we can look at for clues to reopening is the CM blockout calendar. Anyone can see this one, it usually has 3 or 4 months to display, rn it looks like this

Having done the disney full marathon I can attest there are PLENTY of soccer fields to use in WWoS complex. Every turn was another freaking field... lol.

There are a ton of fields. Disney Soccer Showcases are huge events (in size and importance). I'm waiting to see how this affects those events. My daughter plays club soccer and we're waiting to see if the Showcases will go on this year.

June 23rd or May 23rd? Sorry, not sure how far in advance they go.
