Sure, but there’s a big difference between a few resorts remaining shut down and only DVC/FW reopening. I think it makes complete sense to not open back up all the resorts. But, I have a hard time believing they have such few reservations that they can consolidate everyone into DVC/FW. Which would mean some people might get cancelled.
Yeah. I have a feeling when that agency gets wind of this- if it wasn’t announced to all of them in some conference call this evening- they will be on the phone ASAP. Like the vibes from their brains will be so intent on calling their Disney coordinator type person the phone will dial itself
No, no, not calling you crazy at all. I watched the show earlier today but scrubbed through that segment again and, while definitely confusing (though what about this whole thing isn't at this point), he seemed to be saying that Disney was only allowing guests (who were offered the modify option) to rebook at DVC resorts or FW for the remainder of this year (not 2021 since those packages aren't out yet). Pete then speculated about the possibility that the resorts "stay closed" while capacity limitations are in place, but neither of them seemed to be referencing insider information. Again, your're not crazy haha. I'm sorry if I made it sound that way; it's very confusing and I can understand how someone could walk away with that impression.I don’t think he believed it to be the case. I know what I heard.
You can go back and watch to find out. I remember thinking that was nuts, but maybe I am the crazy one?
As indicated in my earlier posts, I agree with you. Since those closures were being discussed, I just wanted to make sure we had the facts/context. It wasn't part of a larger argument.
Sounds like they may or may not have meant that so we might have a chance at it being one agency’s misinformation after all!... what if this outfit with the now deleted FB post fell victim to bad CM info?Definitely know Dreams, used them three times now
My dd was a CP at BoG this past spring before everything was cancelled. She says at least 50% of her coworkers were CP's. In some locations, the numbers are even higher. QS, Life Guarding, Custodial, and merch will be super hard to pull off without CP's or a mass hiring.
At any given time, there’s about 8,000 CPs and 2,000 IPs. WDW employs about 70,000 CMs. CPs are often concentrated in specific areas on specific (usually late) shifts. With the water parks and certain restaurants and amenities not coming online immediately, that should give them the resources to staff the parks and some resorts for limited capacity.

Maybe some locations in MK have higher CP's than others...? My dd worked open to 3 or 4pm every day (on the days she worked, just as a fyi).
Sven/Flynn/Finn strikes again!Sounds like they may or may not have meant that so we might have a chance at it being one agency’s misinformation after all!... what if this outfit with the now deleted FB post fell victim to bad CM info?
Absolutely, and QSFB is one of the roles with the most CPs. BOG is unique in that it does not have QSFB CMs at night (because it’s table-service at night of course), which would explain her earlier hours (she was one of the lucky ones!), but the plan to fill those spots is two-fold: 1) bring over CMs from still-closed areas of WDW like the water parks (for example, a Vacation Planner at TL has the option of temporarily transferring over to a role at a now-open part of WDW like QSFB at BOG) and 2) to not fill all of those spots. Because restaurants, shops, and even attractions will only be operating at maybe 1/3 of capacity (speculation but we know it will probably be something like that), they don’t need the entire staff. As they start to ramp up capacity and reopen more parts and amenities of WDW, you’ll start to see IPs and CPs come back. The point being that absolutely have the labor to redistribute from elsewhere and they’d still have CMs “left over” to operate a few resorts at least. On an unrelated note, I’m so sorry your DD’s program was abruptly cut short; I hope she has the opportunity to return and have the full experience!
The Revenge of Sven/Flynn/Finn
Thank you. She had applied 3x before getting into the DCP and the program had been a dream of hers since she was 12yo. She got 43 days from check-in and about 30 days at her location before sent home so I really hope she gets the chance to fully complete a program as well.
