right although on the surface the big number looks scary today's numbers are actually really good for Florida and Orange County

It still shows they have an uncontrolled outbreak with nothing slowing it down. Single day cases or positivity are meaningless because they bounce around so much. The average trend for both are still showing upwards which means Florida is yet to peak which means it will continue to get worse.

It also shows their testing is failing because these are backlogged test results. Every single time Florida does a massive dump of backlogged tests it’s positivity sinks. Then it shoots Right back up.
 

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.
Definitely. There are people who haven’t been back for a while because of the normal crowds and the current situation will entice them to come. Also, it’s enticing to regular repeat guests to come now and experience a Disney vacation like no other.

This was the third day in a row with a drop in positivity rate. This will also mean that that the seven day rolling average is now declining.

Florida still has work to do, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Exactly. Iv seen reports of tests taking anywhere from 5 days to more than 14! Even 5 days makes the test fairly pointless.
 
Yes Disney has openly said they wouldn’t open a park unless if they lost more to do so. So even at this light capacity and everything along with that they are losing less than they would be before.
No, you do not know that for sure unless you have contacts in disney finance.

All we know is that if they had hit their expected attendance they would have been losing less than they were before. We don't know how far off they are from actual attendance vs expected.
 
Saw on FB a video of somebody in the Briar patch at MK today, and were being told that there is no Splash merch in the warehouse, and that space in the store will be used to sell other merch which is non Splash.

anybody at MK confirm?

EDIT: Appears this may be incorrect. Shipment coming mid-week.

Why would Disney lie about that? They openly said such in their last earnings report. It makes no sense for disney to open or stay open if they are losing more than they were staying closed.
 
Looks like the menu is up for Epcot's Food and Wine! 🤑

(Still a newbie so it wont let me post a live link :crazy2:)

Missing my point completely! I didnt say disney lied at all.

Forecast vs actuals. Pretty basics of running a business.
 
I thought it was pretty strange they weren’t requiring them in the first place. I get the thought behind it, that you’re outside and you have screens separating you, and it’s a long hot ride. But it just seemed like a bad idea. There are other rides that make way more sense to be able to do it on.

I had actually wondered if it was so to not scare/spook/freak out the animals. If they look over and can't see the human's faces, I'd have to imagine they wouldn't know what's going on, and it may agitate them.

I'm guessing that's not the case though, since they are back to masks.
