News Round Up 2021

Over in the DL side of DIS the speculation is they'd require kids to have a negative covid test.

That would definitely make sense. Thanks for sharing that!

If this is, in fact, the case - wouldn’t it need to be formally announced prior to opening? I’m sure that’s going to be an important question that needs an answer.

Assuming they plan to enforce it. The messaging from Six Flags seems to indicate that they may not actually, but put the onus on the individual. I could be misinterpreting, but I have heard some podcasters agree.

Very interesting! I’ll definitely keep an eye out for any additional updates to this! If you guys find anything out over on the DL boards, please come share with us!! Thanks!!

More Magic Kingdom snack kiosks join Mobile Order

This was my biggest gripe with MK, more places needed to be on mobile order in that park with the amount of people that can be in there.

Please let Space 220 be one they’re hiring for!

My first thought was Disney told Patina to advertise it as a job fair for their Disney restaurants, but it's really for Space 220. Keeps everyone else off their scent so they can control the narrative and hype of finally opening 220 instead of it leaking. The bonuses are hush money .

A fella can dream.
