Swge should be capped st capacity right now

Definitely more crowded at dhs, most are adhering to the rules. But it just feels a bit more out of control if that makes sense

DHS just has always been a small park with a horrendous layout .. even before the construction. I guess that's what you get when you build a park that was supposed to look like a studio lot. So many dead ends that is finally somewhat alleviated due to SWGE stretching from one side of the park to the other (if they have both entrances open?)

SWGE, at least, is a giant open area with lots of walking areas (pretty large land for only 2 attractions when you think about it). The true issue is the design of TSL .. unless you want to go to SWGE . .it's a dead end too with only one pretty narrow walkway past its three attractions. Considering that was designed recently, it is a pretty big miss.

Thing is, if you are staying at a Disney resort or endorsed resort with Disney perks you can actually still get a park pass to DHS today. It opened up for resort guests, so they think they can fit more people in

That is true, but we don't know how many. It is likely from people cancelling, so is it a few hundred? few thousand? one family of 4 who cancelled their trip and it is now available?

definitely tough since it seems like biggest concern now is getting a reservation for DHS so if they came out and said they are reducing capacity I can hear the outcry

That said, if this is how it looks long term they will need to consider something - but it is just day one, lets see how it evolves as they work out some kinks and things maybe settle a bit. A lot of people haven't yet ridden Rise or MMRR - maybe after a while it settles a bit

I agree with this. Only other thing I would add, is they could do it silently. Other than the first week they are not at the *current* capacity (besides AP, but they already said they are not allowing additional AP spots at HS like they are at the 3 other parks). They could just on the backend adjust the number allowed, but like I said, if the currently reserved spots are above that number, let it be.

Very hard to try and navigate around people and keep social distance. I was just sitting in a corner and this lady and son came and sat right next to me. I got up to leave and she tells me"it's ok you can stay " i said no, we have to try and keep socially distanced
She just shrugged

I think Disney needs to rethink capacity at DHS. This is pretty much sold out, so the max we will see, but does seem super crowded because people are more concentrated in popular areas. I think they need to reduce capacity available at the park. If dates are currently over the new limit, just allow them, but if people cancel it wouldn't open up spots until under the new threshold.

They need to do like they do with the animals on Safaris to get them to be where they want them, so put something interesting in less popular areas to spread out the crowd.

If they can’t get a handle on the situation at DHS, I think it’s completely irresponsible and dangerous to keep it open.

For many reasons DHS has different considerations for capacity than the other parks, I hope they would have taken all that into account when determining the cap, but did they? I’m not sure how they could control the crowds in there without lowering its capacity.

What time did rides start operating at HS today? 9:30? And looks like they started letting people into the park at 9?

Yea, it certainly appears, at this point in time anyway, that they've overshot the optimal capacity level for DHS.

I never ceases to amaze me how some people can be so unaware of what people are trying to do around them right now. And I get it you're in a park and people can forget at times but sheesh. Stay safe while you're there!

Cory Meets World just said he asked a CM and they said the F&G merch will probably be available for “quite a while” before they start mixing in F&W merch. They’ve got a lot of F&G merch to get through since that festival got cut short.

Whoever was looking for Orange Bird merch, it’s there!

I think we are definitely going to have to see how this plays out over the day/days coming. If most people rope dropped things should smooth out in theory. And this may also be day one excitement for the parks. We will have to wait and see but if the capacity stays like is now as a constant....that makes me a bit nervous for our trip in Sept.

Our boarding group 14 was called. We have an hour to board.

Oof, FL State report is out

Trouble is, that's what they did. They put SWGE (something interesting) in DHS (less popular area).

 

[TropicalDIS]

Based on the reports from DHS, Disney should not be increasing capacity there anytime soon.

 

[chicagoshannon]

It's better than yesterday at least.
