Rumor about “modified experiences” when Disney reopens (read 1st post for potential modifications being considered)

[vinotinto]

Dang, if Gandalph shows up too, this could end up being quite a day!



They may be opening parks before resorts. That was always a possibility.

Key word from the announcement being “Phased.”

 

[RWinNOLA]

If the resorts aren’t open that won’t matter much.

I feel like you are holding back

Even the none Disney obsessed folks I know who I told that to today were like “wth is a phased opening?”

If I was a betting man I would go with the latter.

So Epcot Forever was just a LIE?!

No dates being leaked out just yet but some rumors saying we could be in for some “surprises” or things not expected as part of their reopening plan.

As long as one surprise isn't a delay in DVC resorts, I won't need to be talked off the ledge!

Epcot Forfivemoremonths just didn’t have the same ring.

I just don't understand Epcot being closed. Its more space for spacing everyone out. Even with so much renovation going on

They need CMs.

I don’t know if this means anything, but the Disney Food Blog is reporting that Spaceship Earth is now listed on My Disney Experience as under refurbishment. Either someone forgot to reset the computer (today’s the day it was scheduled to close), or that might be a good sign that they’re getting the parks ready to open.

I’m not saying that’s what they are going with but I wouldn’t be surprised either. I’m not expecting huge good surprises tomorrow.

To be fair the “surprise“ being speculated could just be of that nature not specifically Epcot closing.

Well, they need to train CMs at least. With a training program that they should have down to a science after training new CMs every year for the cultural program...

Pretty sure they just forgot to change that.

I understand that. So call them back, and they don't have to be international. So do we think Epcot would be closed for 1 month? 2? Just seems odd.

Have you been since they put the walls up? It's really not at all. It's the most claustraphobic park. I know it's huge in space but a lot of that is just the lagoon. WS is a nightmare almost always at nights and on weekends. You can find space outside the Land Pavilion and to a lesser extend Test Track but how often do you really want to be hanging out in those areas. The new walkways are very narrow and crowded.

I'm guessing there was no CM schedule news yet this week? What is the union agreement on how much notice they have to be given? I'd think it's at least 2 weeks.

The most shocking part would be DFB being the first to report something. Is that too mean

Operational Change vs. IT....

IT. But imho it coincided with an operational change so lucky them...

Nope.
