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

[xuxa777]

Maybe I am not following or I don't know enough to understand, but if all the people entering the park (including cast members) are testing negative, why do we need all the other restrictions?

That is wrong, the survey asked about testing cast members only not guests

There isn’t much of a choice. There will have to be limits at first. Anyone planning a year out is having issues. What about all the people who were to go in March-May who don’t get too?

Yes, I agree it’s bad for someone anyway they restrict and they do have to restrict. But with regard to the people who were meant to go in March-May, the park was/is not open at all. I don’t think it’s the same as having the park open but saying you can’t go unless you get new accommodations off site all of a sudden

 

[xuxa777]

The fireworks were very crowded even before projections. There's no way to achieve distancing.

Shanghai Disney is testing projections on the castle with regards to social distancing and also parades, so they might keep them.

No matter when they open they aren’t going to just open as normal. Whoever is in that first group is going to get a lesser experience. There is no way around it.

 

[Krandor]

Something that just popped into my head and, hey, I've heard crazier but
What if
Let's say the first couple of days, maybe even a weeks worth WDW decides to invite, for free, CM and their families to experience "some magic"
CM would have to sign up on the HUB, giving Disney complete control over amount of people, working cast can implement and practice whatever new measures will be in place.
Obviously Disney will lose money doing but it would give the world an idea of what they are doing as cm and families will be able to take pics/ record/ live stream. It will give working cm the opportunity to practice, and cm families would have agreed to go in and be "guinea pigs" so no potential of backfire

Just spitballing here

That would be an interesting way to do a "soft opening" and test out new procedures and if the CMs get to experience the new procedures they will be better able to help educte guests on them.

 

[Mzpalmtree]

No matter when they open they aren’t going to just open as normal. Whoever is in that first group is going to get a lesser experience. There is no way around it.

I agree with you and as I indicated I understand the need to limit. I just think this possible restriction is a poor choice IMO.

 

[helloconnie]

I think they will need to close or limit as little as possible if ticket prices and hotel rates remain the same. Best approach is to think of each area where guests interact closely and develop a mitigation strategy. If you can identify any person with the virus before going to the park, then you can reduce risk to almost non-existent. Everything else would become redundant to catch that possible person who has the false negative test. In my opinion, if 1-4 were in place, I would will very comfortable in a full park operation.

I do think Disney should require guests to consent to the risk of attending the parks while there is an active, highly contagious virus with no vaccine available. Everyone in this country (and world) is very aware of what is going on. If you choose to attend a theme park you have to realize you are at risk.

I would see something like this taking place:

1. Covid-19 Rapid Test
This is a high cost item but offers the best way to limit exposure. There are however, a lot of questions around this such as should Disney do onsite "rapid testing" or require guests to provide proof of negative test at check-in? If Disney does the test on premise, can they get enough tests to effectively conduct these tests on an ongoing basis? Who will pay for the test, Disney or the guest? If a guest provides their own test results from a doctor, how would Disney verify the test results are real and not counterfeit? How frequently should the test be done? (Current estimates are 5-6 days from exposure to symptoms but I wonder what the time frame is from exposure to positive test, with or without symptoms.) Theoretically, a person good get exposed before going on vacation, four days later get tested at Disney and show negative but on day 5 they would show positive.
(a) Upon check-in at your resort you take a Covid-19 rapid test. (You get a non-removable wristband that you must wear during your stay. Wristband would have an expiration. Maybe even color coded.
(b) If you are not staying on property, you will take the test at the Ticketing & Transportation Center to get your band.
(c) The band will quickly identify that you have tested negative and when.
(d) Should the test be repeated on a certain time frame, for example, every 4 days? If so, at whose cost?
(d) Cast Members will also follow testing rules and wear their own wristband. (Maybe weekly testing on a rolling schedule.)
(e) You cannot get through the baggage / temperature check without a wristband.

2. Temperature Checks
At the park entrance, everyone will get their temperature checked prior to bag check / entry. Everyone's band will be verified.
(This will require extra staff to keep lines manageable.) This is a simple identifying step, however not everyone that has the virus runs a fever. Step 1 is a better alternative. If #1 is done, is this step really necessary?

3. Masks
All guests and cast members will wear masks in the parks and while within 6 feet of other guests. (Disney may need to provide masks at the park entrances and other areas of the park for when guests loose theirs.)
*** Remember that scientists are directing people to wear masks if you cannot participate in social distancing. So if masks are worn, the social distancing standards can be lowered (not necessarily eliminated).

4. Hand Sanitizer
(a) Every guest will sanitize their hands after riding each ride or watching each show. (This would be easier than trying to sanitize ride vehicles after each guest, especially since there are a lot of continuously loading rides.) (They could also do a hand sanitizing before getting on the ride so as you wait at to board, a cast member comes by and squirts hand sanitizer in your hand.)
(b) Guests will sanitize their hands upon entering any food venue, including at stands. (Will require a cast member to issue the sanitizer and verify use.)
(c) Before riding transportation such as monorail, bus or tram.

5. Virtual Queuing where ever possible

6. Seated Shows
(a) Seated shows should be limited with spacing between families. As long as everyone is wearing a mask, every row could be utilized.
(b) Hand sanitizer upon exiting.
(c) 3D glasses to should be soaked in sanitizer between each use.

7. Parade / Fireworks
(a) Personally, I think this should be left to the guest whether to attend or not. Disney could certainly broadcast a message that viewing these shows is at the risk of each person. They should also require masks be worn and have cast members actively monitoring. Again, masks are suggested today for those who cannot social distance themselves. These cast members could also have a supple of hand sanitizer for anyone who requested a squirt.

8. Transportation
Yikes! This is a nightmare. Disney still has to move guests around the property. Monorails and buses are almost always packed, especially during opening/closing time frames. So how do you mitigate the risk?
(a) Have special transportation available to those who are at high risk?
(b) Masks required
(c) Hand Sanitizer when boarding transportation

9. Dining
Highest risk area since guests will have their masks off.
(a) Reduce seating capacity, increase space between tables where possible
(b) Place barriers between tables when possible (example, Sci-Fi Dine In Theater can have plexi-glass framed as car windows to provide a barrier.)
(c) Convert buffet service to menu service
(d) Paper disposable menus (or menus will need to be cleaned and sanitized between each use.)
(e) Quick Service - control number of guests in the restaurant, utilize mobile ordering, spacing between guests waiting in line. (spaces marked on floor). Cast members assigned to set group of tables for cleaning/sanitizing before another guest rushes to sit.)
(f) Kiosks and Snack Stores - control how many people are in store and spacing between guests

10. Character Meet & Greets
I would be interested to hear what scientists/doctors say about this, as it relates to fuzzies.
(a) Face characters meet and greets put on hold until vaccine is available (Perhaps Disney can use their influence to get the vaccines in August when they are suppose to be ready for front line positions.) Instead of physical meet & greets, perhaps certain characters can come out on the castle stage at designated times to greet quests from a distance. (For example, at 10:00 the Princesses and Princes come out, walk up to edge of stage, wave, say hello, pose for pictures. At 11:00 Pirates at 12:00 Villians, etc.) (Times listed are just for an example.)
(b) Fuzzy characters - may still be able to greet since there is a pretty hefty barrier in the form of the outfit. Cast members may still need to wear masks underneath. I am not all that familiar with the ventilation system in these outfits.

11. Shopping
(a) Control how many people are in a store at a time.
(b) Require hand sanitizing upon entry (If not, if a person is has the virus on their hands, everything they touch in the store could get the virus.)
(c) Control spacing in line to check out

12. Deep Cleaning
After hours deep cleaning procedures for rides, queues, theaters, restaurants, kiosks, stores, transportation, basically every surface.

13. Park Capacity
Should be managed to a new lower capacity to allow for more space between guests

 

[TomicalJM]

I’m so torn. I want them to be able to reopen to make enough money to survive this. But emotionally, I wouldn’t want to even see the parks in this condition. A theme park with everyone in medical masks sounds more like a scene in a creepy Silent Hill game than a magical vacation.

Heck, then I'd go to Disney just so I could actually get a test!! USA! USA! W0000t!

I don't think this is crazy at all. Isn't this what Disney Shanghai started doing yesterday? Opened some of the park to test the modifications with CMs?

I think WDW will be looking at the learnings from Disney Shanghai to decide on what modifications to implement in FL.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

I don’t think it’s the same as having the park open but saying you can’t go unless you get new accommodations off site all of a sudden

I think if this is the direction they end up going, they’re not really saying “you need new accommodations, offsite only” they’re saying we don’t want you to come for a resort experience. We are not providing the WDW experience. We are theme parks right now not a resort. They’re probably hoping it keeps crowds at bay (especially those who planned far out and spent a lot of money) and it’s mostly locals who show without having to go through the more complicated issue of turning away out of state guests.

 

[SaintsManiac]

I was watching vlogs today and also thinking about my own experience at resorts. Packed food courts and pools. Packed buses. This is why I think resorts open after the parks. Or they open at very reduced capacity.

Very thoughtful post, thank you. I don't think we're going to be seeing the COVID testing, simply because the "rapid" COVID testing does not yet exist (although, who knows, it may exist by the time WDW reopens).

I think the wristband is a very pausible idea. We have seen China go with QR code on guests' phones, but this would be a low tech way to accomplish the same. You fill out the health questionnaire, get your temp checked, agree to the new terms and conditions and get your wristband. The new terms and conditions will probably include lots of language about avoiding the parks if you have any symptoms, do not hold WDW liable if you get sick, agree to wash your hands, agree to wear mask (if that is included in the procedures), follow the appropriate social distancing rules established by WDW ad its employees, yadda, yadda, yadda.

 

[vinotinto]

That is wrong, the survey asked about testing cast members only not guests

Nope, that is not correct. There were different versions of the survey. Some Passholders received questions about the park being at 25% capacity, some at 50% capacity and some at 75% capacity. It's possible that one of the versions had cast members getting tested, but one of the versions posted definitely showed guests being tested:

 

[DGsAtBLT]

I was watching vlogs today and also thinking about my own experience at resorts. Packed food courts and pools. Packed buses. This is why I think resorts open after the parks. Or they open at very reduced capacity.

Parks first makes it logistically easier, IMO.

I know the thinking was Springs & resorts, then parks which makes sense if you’re doing it all gradually, but if they want to get parks open sooner than later I think keeping the resorts shut makes that goal easier. It would basically force people to move the bigger vacations down the road while getting a slower trickle of guests into the park without having to have strict limits on who can enter.

It also lessens the issue of the people we all know would go in nearly blind and then get pissed off when it’s not what they wanted it to be.

 

[Jrb1979]

I want parks to open soon as much as the next guy but if it involves wearing a mask, limited dining options, waiting extra long in lines so rides can be wiped down then no thanks not at regular price.

If all WDW guests were required to stay off site, it would certainly help the local economy as well.

I can see "character meals" remaining without characters or character interaction. They can have the characters come into a specific area of the restaurant and have the characters wave or do a dance (not go table to table). That may be a great way for Disney to keep some of that revenue while maintaining social distancing. The only issue is that they would need to let parents know that they will need to make sure their kids do not go up to the characters and I am sure some parents would have difficulty with that.

Love this! I would be willing and grateful to pay for everyone in my party to have a rapid test on arrival and day 3-4 of our trip. What a relief that would be to know everyone in the park was tested. As you said, there will be a small percentage that false negative or are carriers and do not test positive at testing, but if temperatures are checked daily, hopefully some of those would get caught. If you are going to WDW you have to be prepared for the chance of exposure. My concerns with masks would be an ample supply. Once wet from a ride or just sweat they are ineffective and masks would need to be changed frequently if mandated. I would prefer only wearing masks during parades, fireworks or indoor shows.
