This is killing me....but will definitely be the best part of my day today!

Disney is supposed to present at 11 because this roll call will take an hour to get through.

Roll call then public comments (with 12 explanation points), then seaworld, then disney. May be able to get on FOP before disney starts.

Are you seeing comments? My screen says "Chat is disabled for this live stream "

The committee has to accepts and read into the record comments that received.

 

[Tiggerette]

"Morning George" or "Morning Present" be great on a hat visor sold by Orange County tourism.

 

[ZanyToes]

It's 2020 and this is what we have for distance conference calls lol.

 

[JacknSally]

Are you seeing comments? My screen says "Chat is disabled for this live stream "

They read aloud comments submitted by the public into the record.

 

[Krandor]

public comments!!

 

[CastAStone]

I’m just here for the public comments about masks

I hope everyone sent their's in!

That is the issue with virtual queues. Where are people going to go and wait? For me if I'm waiting on a FP time that is close I'll sit down at a QS place or at a bar while waiting but if those are runnig at 50%+ or less capacity for seating would that even be an option and would you want people not eating taking up a table at a QS restaurant making it harder to social distance.

Don't forget that the whole park will be at reduced capacity as well. There will be space for people to spread out.

Oh joy here come the public comments. Brace yourselves!

5!

 

[chicagoshannon]

comment time. lol

 

[e_yerger]

this is so... painful. i feel bad that Disney has to announce their opening plan like this.

 

[cakebaker]

Here comes the fun part- public comments. Yeah, we know, you hate masks. lol

 

[MrsBooch]

I'm watching the broadcast on live youtube with Closed Captioning bc I'm on a work call and I need to know who is running the closed captioning because it might as well be a random word generator. My phone's text recognition is better than this.

WHAT?

 

[Krandor]

Don't forget that the whole park will be at reduced capacity as well. There will be space for people to spread out.

If they are just standing around yeah but if I'm waiting on a queue I'm going to want to go sit down somewhere and there won't be as many of those in order to keep tables and chairs 6 feet apart.

I never said we, DVC owners cover any costs of the hotel side. Owners at mixed use resorts do however pay for the portion of those services as they use. You should take the time to look over an annual dues statement. Everything we pay for is itemized. I promise you Disney doesn't give us anything for free. At any rate it does nothing for me to try to change your mind. Opinion vs fact is a no win. Good day to you.

I’ve seen the itemized breakdown. You said it would not cost Disney anything additional to operate the DVC Resorts for DVC members only. That’s not true. Specifically in regard to the mixed use resorts in particular, I am saying it absolutely would. Therefore, with the added operating cost, it very well might not be worth it to operate them if there’s little interest outside of DVC members and only moderate interest within the Membership. This is a message board where we’re all allowed to express our opinions. You may not like them, but that doesn’t make invalid or worthy or dismissal. We are allowed to disagree and that’s okay.

Forget the M word we are on swollen tongues right now.

 

[TexasChick123]

so... who do you think from Disney will be giving the presentation? I hope josh is there.....

I wish Chris Hemsworth was the one making the announcement with his amazing accent. I mean, he is Thor which is a Marvel character now owned by Disney. Yes, it’s a stretch, but a girl can dream...

Is it though? FOP theoretically cycles 1,440 people per hour. That's only 3000 people. I'm not arguing, I'm asking whether 3000 is a lot, considering that's probably the most crowded line in AK.

More than likely the cycling time will be reduced by roughly half as they more than likely will only sit people in every other ride vehicle. Lines or virtual queues will move much slower for the majority of rides as a result.

Public comment 1: We started at polypropylene allergy and the need for an MSDS at the door (which is, um, not required by law) and pivoted without warning to masks. That was a wild ride.
