I worked there and know numerous CM's in other parks who also state that break rooms are huge issue.

Slow news day, huh?

Well, here’s a little dose of happiness from A Touch of Disney today!
(Even though I don’t want meet and greets to be canceled forever, this is very adorable.) Fun to see characters popping up at DCA again.

Good grief. I never said it wasn’t an issue. All I said was that it shouldn’t be an insurmountable issue for a multi million dollar company.
I’m done with the break room debate.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the former CM who commented probably knows the facts.

The break rooms are an issue. I'm a laid off CM and our break room could hold about 20-25 pre-covid and now only 7 allowed at all times.

my small park has gone from over 50 in break room to 8/10 at a time and yes it is blocked off and you are not able to change it

Fully believe you, thanks for the insight. Haven’t speculated on it one way or the other, but it’s acceptable to believe existing space is an issue with distancing guidelines. Just funny that the same Disney who filed In a United States Patent Application Publication for “Systems and Methods to Provide an Interactive Environment in Response to Touch-based Inputs” which is AR that turns human skin into a communication network can’t also figure out how to erect temporary structures or configure unused space to allow more CMs to distance

Hope you’re brought back ASAP! Sorry to hear you were a part of the larger layoffs.

You said, “I don't think it has anything to do with break rooms”.

Both of you can be correct at the same time. The space is an issue because Disney is choosing to allow it to be an issue. Factories, schools, universities, hospitals, corporate campuses across the world have figured out how to bring back their people (even places with union agreements).

Factories are a terrible example. They just kept going COVID be damned. Schools shut down for a while and then did a variety of things, none of which were that focused on COVID prevention. Hospitals didn't ever send their essential staff home. Corporate campuses went totally remote for the large part, that doesn't work for a theme park.

So when Disney was closed, no one was bright enough to plan ahead for the need for more break room space?

There are only so many indoor spaces. What do you expect them to do? All of this over a couple angry Facebook posts?

Tents are a thing. Air conditioned tents are a thing. Unused convention and event space. Unused hotel rooms. Its really not as hard as you make it. They managed to turn the polynesian break room into a quick service and then used tangaroa terrace as a staff area back when they did the renovations on the quick service. You seem to forget this is all about Disney not wanting to spend money, they could care less right now if the staff has a break space.

I mean, I almost hate to bring it up ... and I probably will regret doing so ... but anyone know what’s going on with the pools now a couple days later? Are there still waits or has that since been resolved? I haven’t seen any complaints about it on the FB groups I’m in for a couple days, pool wait/capacity complaints seem pretty slim.

I have friends heading down on Monday and I gave them a little warning about the pools. Not clear if it’s even a widespread issue, though.

It’s amazing how the argument of break rooms is still going on, meanwhile a touch of Disney began today. Would’ve been nice to see reports of how California Adventure handled everything. I saw some of the character interactions and they were so cute!!

There was a thread about it on the resort boards.

We need a new Ryan for sharing news I’m not on Twitter where most links and news are shared from as news seems to break there first. I enjoyed following along to see Touch of Disney pics on Instagram.

That’s a very cynical view of the world.

Mrsap is filling in nicely on the news update thread- she usually posts news there before I can get a link off my twitter feed.

However...

This board seems to be suffering the most and definitely needs a “Ryan”
