Disney has established a capacity for each park they are comfortable with and that they deem would not be a loss. As a business, you would want to hit the maximum of your limited park capacity. My post was only addressing a specific issue - virtual queues at DHS.

This is unrelated, but DHS right now is going to be such a tough park for families with young kids without the shows and M&G. MMRR and TSM are the only 2 rides without a height restriction. 2 rides! Even AS2 has a restriction (it’s low, but a restriction.) The littlest ones will just be rider switched most of the day. I hope there is some fun pop up entertainment for them.

Fully agree - hope they do some of those distance character things or like a "pop up parade" with Disney Jr Characters

I think they vastly over estimated the willingness to travel to Florida right now. When they first announced the opening, numbers didn't look nearly as bad as they do now and they were afraid they'd have too many guests to handle. Now, they can see it's not happening. The biggest indicator is the really significant AP discount they're offering- if they had the numbers they needed, we wouldn't be seeing a discount.

I think the uncertainty of the details of the plan made people scramble for a vacation somewhere vs. holding onto wishes w/ Disney. Their lack of detailing everything w/ hotels and park system and everything else right away is hurting them in this initial 60 day window with those guests and they're trying to course correct that mistake with the discounts. I mean you experienced this first hand with your room reservation whip around too, their plan was disjointed.

Totally knew that would happen!

Now I wonder if you have a park hopper option and there are open spots, can you make a second reservation, once you've left another park?

Too full for APs. Walk right in if you want to buy a ticket today though

They better have a Muppets one of these at HS.

one generates new cash flow for Disney and the other doesn’t.

Still early, but wait time are low.

I suggest we refrain from discussing different YouTube channels. I know there is a lot of excitement today. The Dis is their own source and has their own YouTube channel(s). I have no problem with sharing pieces of info from sources but discussing who does what and who likes what YouTube channels is not a discussion for here.

The Dis is the gold standard anyway as far as I’m concerned. Loved Craig’s video of the AP preview, I hope we get one for AK.

Was watching a friend on Facebook live streaming from MK and noticed several different groups take their masks off for pictures

Did that get determined if that was allowed? - I thought I had read masks were to stay on for pictures

Yes you are allowed to take a mask off for a picture you take yourself. Photopass isn't allowed to take unmasked photos.

I wonder if this will be an option going forward, or if they just didn’t want to turns lots of people away on the first day when all of the new procedures are still so...new?

Seems to be the longest line at MK

It’s called new money. They need some right now.

It doesn’t surprise me that they have employees in the booths at TTC, as we have stopped there to activate annual passes or prove Florida residency. I am surprised they are selling same day tickets while keep APs blocked. I hope that’s not true and that they are there as a function of guest services.

I agree Craig’s camera on The Dis was AMAZING. I had watched another vlog right before and was impressed with how clear and life like Craig’s camera was. It was like I was actually there.

They actually seem to be spaced pretty well.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, these were definitely non-photopass pictures

(Actually appeared no photopass out on Main St so far - perhaps to minimize people stopping on Main STM and clogging things up (did seem more crowded than for the preview days)

Longest line so far was definitely for Starbucks

Maybe they could give APs a discount on same day tickets?

Having to deal with of people going in different directions is definitely going to be a challenge at times .... but if there are that many people needing to go to customer service the line will get long when spaced out, not exactly sure what she would want them to do
