@GoofGoof after the pandemic, is the next pandemic will be another many years?

Let’s get out of this one first I’m hopeful it will be another hundred years before the next one and I doubt I’ll be around to see it or if I am I doubt I’ll know it

Oh absolutely. I'd love to be WALKING RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF MAIN STREET USAAYYYY maskless with the dapper dans not on the train station distanced and right by the Emporium waiting for FOF to start at 3 o'clock. Obviously, that won't be possible for a while and I've had to accept that. But I've waited for a moment like the 50th for so long that I'm determined to be optimistic it'll be spectacular.

Maybe even a little space between people? I’ll take 3 feet.. I’ve gotten used to people not running up my ankles and legs. No masks and a bit of distance. I’m in.

Just think at some point CMs will be getting hugs again from everyone that missed them and Disney.

Love the distance in the lines. I felt like the Haunted Mansion and POC lines were human cattle calls. I hope the mandatory spacing in lines stays forever.

My daughter is much older now, but I look forward to when this can happen again for guests.

I'm not a touchy person with strangers so I vote distancing still but no masks lol

That will be a new upcharge. It will be FP+++.

It looks likely that after the data is backfilled, there will be multiple days this week where over 100k people began the series. Now things are speeding up to a point where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I enjoy interacting with stranger while waiting in line. Though I remember talking with a physician from Lebanon one time while waiting in line for Toy Story, his wife was not as pleased I think because he spent a lot of the time in line talking to me vs paying her attention.

But even with my propensity to strike up conversations with strangers in line I would rather be without mask vs lowering social distance if the choice was mine to make.

I mean I have no preference for the distancing. I like the space but it does hinder capacity.

Yeah, there is no way they could continue that distancing when the park goes back to full operation. Right now they have the Peter Pan queue running through Harbour House.

I used to get a coke and nuggets or a tuna sandwich at that place. Now it's queue space. I long for the days when I would sit upstairs and eat and watch guests get in line for Mansion

One reason why cast members need to be vaccinated.

Theme parks aren’t essential but they could help get the cast members who are over 65 get the vaccine since most are being worked six to seven days per week and don’t have time to get the vaccine.

Everyone in this thread is getting shots has me wondering what the average age on the forum is

 

[DisneyDebRob]

Is their a mod around? The last 2-3 pages have nothing to do with this thread. Please delete it all or move it to the political areas.

 

[GoofGoof]

In the interest of Steve’s request to keep non-Covid politics out of this thread I don’t want to go down this path any further. If someone wants to post a thread in the politics section I will gladly give my opinions. I have worked in the energy industry for years so have some insight into all of this. It’s not as simple as the political talking heads try to make it out.

Most states have started some level of essential workers and/or people with health conditions. I don’t think that all of the people here who have gone so far are 65+. FL hasn‘t opened it up to essential workers yet but many other places have. In Philadelphia where my parents live they still haven’t opened to 65-74 but they have opened to essential worker groups. The rest of PA is more in line with the CDC guidlelines.

PA seems to be a little odd in having different eligibility depending on where they live.
Wouldn't it just cause people from Philadelphia to try another city?
