Five Years On...

[Cfabar1]

So.... 5 years after the great COVID pandemic... what are the things that have actually changed at Disney Parks and Resorts?

Obviously there was a lot that occurred over the past five years, and some things were reversed.... but... what are the changes? I don't mean rides necessarily, but more culturally what are the changes...

Here are some I can think of:
1. One fewer dinner show (no more luau), continuing the tradition of eliminating dinner shows (the Top of the World Supper Club show at Contemporary)
2. Paid Fastpass/Genie/Lightning Lane/whatever they name it next
3. Fees for individual rides to wait
4. Fewer spas and Bippidi Bopped Boutiques

What else?

I can’t believe it’s been 1/2 of a decade.

Reduced housekeeping schedule in cash rooms.

Was Magical Express and delivery of purchases from park to resort eliminated because of the pandemic?

I believe so. I do know we had them before the shutdown and haven’t had them since.

Pre-arrival gifts outsourced/gone is another I believe.

When Iger is finally out at Disney, the next CEO should bring those perks back.

You don’t become CEO of Disney offering to get perks back. You have to be willing to take away more.
