Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

How do you know that for sure?

The people shopping at the Splash Mountain store alone is making them a ton of money. Its not necessarily the amount of people in the parks thats going to make them money, its the merch, food, drinks thats keeping them closer to the operations cost

There was talk back when the relaxation zones were announced that those who refused compliance would be sent to them by CM or security. Wonder if that has actually been practice.

According to a post in this thread yesterday a CM did exactly this yesterday.

Do we know what the attendance level was like at MK yesterday? Did they hit their limit?

It seems to me that it was way below the limit. The place looked almost deserted at times on the vlogs.

I think there was still available space provided you were not an AP without a resort reservation.

They had reservations available all day, so they didn’t hit their limit.

Which is a pretty clear sign that they won’t for the foreseeable future, when it’s not opening day and they have twice as many parks open.

They probably wont hit their limit until DHS opens. Theres a lot of people waiting to see how the reopening goes before they head back to the parks. You probably wont see MK fill up for at least a few weeks, if not towards Sept/Oct

I hope that plexi is screwed in tight.

Is this new? I don’t remember people mentioning it yesterday.

I actually think that the circulation of pictures of empty parks will entice people to schedule visits to come sooner because they feel it's "safer" with the parks being empty-ish.

I was wondering that too. Might be new? Dinosaur had relative long waits compared to the other AK attractions, maybe they feel it’s more efficient to allow more people per vehicle.

 

[Brianstl]

But not everyone is in tune with the information that we see that lines arent long and you can do and ride pretty much everything you want in a single day. Most of the general population probably thinks major attractions are still 60-120 min waits. It will take a while before people realize that the lines arent going to be long. Its easy to assume that everyone knows the goings on at the parks, but there are a lot of people that dont hang out on Disney forums

Even many of those that know the lines are short can’t convince themselves it will last. They have just trained themselves for so long to plan for a WDW nothing like the one we will have for the foreseeable future.

I believe it was there for AP previews if not CM previews as well.

Haha, I understand that perspective, too. It's not ideal.

You wouldn't necessarily have to "tattle" on a specific guest. There probably isn't a way for WDW to respond quickly enough to even find the offending party.

But, I do think they need to know numbers. They need to know when and where guests are breaking the rules so that they can find patterns and hopefully respond with new and/or increased tactics to aid in compliance.

This type of system would be abused. Too many people want to have Disney fail or want them closed during the pandemic or just are just bored and destructive and they would find a way to spam report.

The actual legitimate feedback would lost amidst the spam that they would be getting. And even if they had a system where you needed to be in the park to use this, I still think it would be abused by some. Which is sad.

And I also don’t think this is something any company really want to have their guests do.

Oh my god. I'd be jumping and waving at them like a fool!

My SO just said he will have to socially distance from me.

Tom Bricker is really going to enjoy the photo opportunities over the next several months.

The problem with the tattle line vs the major sports NFL MLB is the people remain in the same spot at those events, their seats, at the parks they don’t, if you are in a place where you are in the same spots for for a while, ie lines there are cast members always nearby to address your concerns

Looks like we all need to go to the parks together so we can sob and act like children to our hearts content without judgment (from our families)

If there was a way I could get paid what I do for a living driving a boat around like that I'd do it in a heartbeat.
