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

yeah I posted the Union letter in the other thread.

Ah yes that was you, lol.

I will mention that I did notice it appears only merchandise CM's will be called back the 24th. I know a few places like Deluxe burger and food kiosks are Disney owned, any word on Springs food and beverage CM's being recalled on the 24th?

It was signed yesterday. They are moving in that level of real time change.

That's a separate union and unfortunately i don't know anyone in the food and beverage dpt. But im sure someone will spill the beans if they got it

I have a feeling that we are going to see some serious movement over the next couple of weeks. Just like how fast things progressed during the final 2 weeks of March and the first week of April. I think we are going to see the reverse over the next few.

To go from May 12th signing a doc to May 24th employees back, and 3 days later sites opened. That's fast.

Also they installed plexiglass already? No one noticed, so just how many things have they been installing in the last month or two?

Of course they installed these things already. It doesn’t take that long. But you don’t know what is or isn’t done until you see pictures or are told they are.

I've been saying for weeks now that all the "infrastructure" might already be installed since they do have maintenance on site. All they need is to call back cm and procedures for parks can be taught in days, it's basically where to put the tape markers, how to keep people separate and reading hands using sanitizer.

It’s almost like Disney might have a plan and they know what they are doing. Who would’ve thought that?

And if Disney cm know how to do is put tape on the floor, they do it everyday. Having SDL as a template also accelerates things everywhere else
I was listening to the OC task force meeting today and the industry as a whole is ready for phase 2 and they're asking the governor to be more precise on when that will be

Just like last week people said it would take weeks, if not months to get rides back up and running after being shut down, and then the video surfaced showing rides running and that theory went right out the window. Disney wasn’t created yesterday. This may be their first long closure, but there’s worst case scenario plans that have likely been in place for many, many years

Yulilin3 has practically been screaming from the rooftops that once they decided when to open, it wouldn’t take long to get there.

Yup. But some seem to think opening back up is a full reset and CMs would have to be trained for a month, and rides would have to be run for 6 weeks non stop or else they’ll break down. I think it would take about a week from start to finish to get everything ready for a limited capacity opening. Early June reservations not getting cancellation emails today is a fairly good indication of whats happening. Not a set in stone guarantee, but its more of an indication theyre at least trying to open in early June. But were still 3 weeks away, and thats a long time during a pandemic when we’re talking about drastic changes

I have no clue how long it takes so no predictions from me. I just know who to listen to.

I thought they just had maintenance workers on site to sit for 8 hours on the park benches to test their infrastructure

What's "turning south"?

"As many Floridians wait for further guidance as to when Gov. Ron DeSantis will give the green light for phase two of his reopening plan to take effect, cases of coronavirus continue to rise.

As of early Wednesday afternoon, the Florida Department of Health reported 479 new cases of COVID-19, as well as 93 new deaths since Tuesday.

These new statistics bring the total cases of coronavirus reported in the state since March 1 to 42,402 and brings the total number of deaths related to the respiratory illness to 1,779." https://www.clickorlando.com/news/l...night-as-florida-awaits-phase-2-of-reopening/.

The phases depend on the daily change in cases. It is expected that there will continue to be new cases. They just don’t want the number of new cases per day to be rising over time. That’s why they always show data graphs. We are looking for the numbers to be trending down over a 2 week period.

Maybe they used the "Space 220" glass ? !

Really??? I thought the Disneyland felt much bigger with all of those tables lined up. And the bar counter has a lot more seating. I really enjoyed it there- but WDW is my home.

I thought they were about the same, DL just has a bigger bar. Googling tells me DL capacity is 47 and WDW is 51.
