Okay. Thought I saw you share a letter sent to CMs before.

I'm pretty sure that yulilin3, a moderator of a forum run by a business, is smart enough not to share anything that would get them in trouble.

So what’s this a schedule of anyway?

I watched the new video about how social distancing measures are being implemented in Shanghai. In the video, they show how all of these pieces of tape and stickers will show guests where to stand and where not to stand. That’s all fine and dandy for adults. But, I don’t see how guests with children or larger groups will manage within these guidelines. I have 3 children of school age. When we have gone before, keeping kids within a contained area and not touching handrails is nearly impossible. Also, most rides exit through the gift shop. How do they expect children to not touch things when they want to grab and show Mom/Dad the prize they want. I just don’t see it working. I also don’t want a Disney World without children in it. Thoughts?

So on their conference call they basically repeated what they do in Shanghai isn’t going to be what they do in the US.

Most Chinese families are very small due to their One Child policy. In 2016 they turned it into a Two Child policy, so there are a few families with 2 kids but many still only have 1. Much higher adult:child ratio means more attention is paid to children and you can fit the whole family where you want as there are almost the same amount of people in all the family units.

CM schedule. How may CMs are working and what shifts and jobs.

Alright guys I didn’t mean to offend I just wasn’t sure if she knew that sometimes posting things can be a no no. Maybe that would’ve been better in a PM. That’s on me. I apologize for taking things off topic. Please carry on.

So here I go getting my hopes up again that the delay of schedules is because they need extra time putting them together because they are bringing cast members back on the 17th I just can’t help it.

They have to bring some back to DS like custodial and security.

Southwest suspended snacks & beverages in March.

Southwest has canceled or taken more than half of their normal flights off of schedules. They also have changed many peoples flight schedules without notification. So if you had flight plans you might want to check and make sure they weren't changed.

Ok sorry to obsess about this. But still confused about the CM schedule. I understand they’re usually out by now & they usually say “no shift”. But what’s the deal about the last time they were last delayed like this?

From what I understand, the last time they delayed like this was right before they announced extended closure.

Oh I see now. Last time there was a significant change then! Ok I’m going to let myself hope a little.

Yeah, it seems like they're aware that cast member schedules get leaked typically (understandable, as there are so many thousands of employees), but to try to mitigate it, they wait until there's official announcements, which wouldn't happen on a Sunday.

I'm thinking we'll hear something in the next couple of days from Disney about dates and plans, then cast member schedules will go out.

Yes, it's all flights from Ny, Nj, Ct and La arriving anywhere in Florida, it's an executive order

I suspect that will not be in effect when the parks reopen.

The schedule being delayed this week isn’t a surprise. They have a huge undertaking ahead staffing wise. 73,000 CMs furloughed - reduced capacity at re opening. Several unions and HR involved to work out who gets the call first.. all the while taking into consideration seniority, type of positions needed right away - then later.. , availability due to medical or age restrictions, changes and retraining for those moving into new jobs as needed.. They have their work cut out for them. All in their own time.
