They must have been experiencing loads of ticket fraud if it costs them less to have tm sanitizing each reader after every single use.

I don't know about that. Universal asks for an I.D. when scanning in. Disney hasn't

I don't know that we know any actual operating percentages - I just assumed some things:

First - FL dropped their restrictions and I assumed that WDW had capacity restrictions in place based on what I'd heard on vlogs etc that tables were spaced out and other tables had signs on them noting that no one could sit there to promote social distancing.
Second - WDW addressed the FL restriction dropping by specifically commenting only on masks, and then saying they would evaluate what the rest meant for their business etc (paraphrasing) and I assume that....
Third - that leaves some potential room to adjust upwardly any lower capacity restrictions that were in place prior to the announcement and based on a lot of feedback I've seen recently - the parks are hitting their capacity and the TS restaurants are super low capacity - and they might want to explore fitting more people inside...

I dont know - it's all assumptions.

Agree that if it’s self-imposed capacity and they have demand (like you originally said when reservations weren’t available your HS day), then they definitely have plenty of room to add tables in. At least at 50’s.
So long as the kitchens have space, I think that’s why they’ve opened a couple more restaurants, FWIW. It allows tables to remain spaced and recall a few more kitchen and waitstaff.
If this trend continues, and they deem it safe to add some tables back in, hopefully some of these jobs can be salvaged before the December timeline. Maybe that’s too optimistic, but I’d love to see as many as possible saved/brought back.

Everyone wondered for years if they would add a country to Epcot World Showcase since they have the space. Now you have to wonder if they might just completely remove and replace whole Countries if they aren’t doing well for the park.

Waiting for us to replace China with Russia. It would be cool to have India.

Universal commenting on reinstating their finger print scanners at the entrances.

I'm not quite sure that this goes here but I didn't see a thread on it. I just canceled a HWS park pass reservation for 4 on November 24th in case any of you following this thread are looking for Thanksgiving week HWS day.

This has got to be a huge percentage of DVC’s overall employees because most of the people who work at a DVC resort technically don’t work for DVC. They work for other Disney divisions and then DVC pays those divisions for their services.

Wouldn’t the workers in house keeping maintenance

DVC has offices in celebration and stuff so I’d assume that’s included in this. This isn’t low level either. This is people from the bottom to the top.

The notice they filed lists 3 or 4 locations. One of them is 1390 Celebration Place which is the DVC main office building. I assume member services is located there.

Finally bit the bullet and got a Universal AP. For 2 APs 3 parks preferred for 15 months it was only $300 more than just my Gold Disney AP

Obvious no certainty that it would even be at WDW again but the NBA commissioner said that next season being played in a bubble as well is a very real possibility
