I think this assumes a CM can't simultaneously fill a role and express themselves (to a reasonable degree). Even before the policy on jewelry was modified (2+ years prior to this latest update iirc), there were exceptions: religious jewelry, engagement and wedding rings, etc. If these things...

I think it's more a question of whether that specific detail (whether or not a CM has a small tattoo on their wrist or is wearing red nail polish) was ever actually of value to guests.

Yeah, so many locations severely understaffed & others (Casey's, Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, Tortuga Tavern & so many ODV carts) inexplicably still closed. Those will also have to be restaffed soon.

Definitely. They’re already hiring externally for Housekeeping (FT which is rare) and Lifeguard, and I’m sure other high need departments like QSFB won’t be far behind with summer coming up. IIRC they’re not allowed to hire externally for a given role unless they’ve offered every furloughed and...

I mean, yes, oppression still exists today but segregation ended in ‘64. Don’t think I should really have to ‘pick the oppressed’ in this case, I figured that much should be pretty clear? And no part of MK is actually themed to the 50s anyway. MS is turn of the century and Liberty Square is...

I think plenty of groups who suffered in 1950s America would disagree.

Something tells me this isn’t as much of a concern for the company in 2021 as it was in 1955.

Yes, Walt built a brand image of his choosing...66 years ago. And like it or not, his perceptions of what is appropriate and what is not were heavily influenced by fashion conventions of the day, not to mention DRASTIC differences in how people of that period expressed their gender and...

Kind of an evil genius plan, but I could see it being beneficial. Is it doable though??? The app would have to juggle a lot of different variables and as a basis for comparison MDE doesn't exactly inspire confidence lmao. It seems more geared toward first timers and large groups who find the...

Yeah but MNSSHP has several rides running (some with overlays), trick or treat locations, the Halloween parade and fireworks, special merchandise and snacks, etc. which is exactly my point. I don't think guests (local/AP or otherwise) would have rushed to buy tickets if the only event offering...

Makes sense but still hurts to hear :confused: Maybe in a year when things are back to normal (give or take) they can revisit this, but it would've been nice for the 50th. I could see the first couple of showings being hard ticketed, but after a few weeks I think guests will start to complain...

I'm a CM/FL resident. My mom is coming down to visit in mid-May and we'll be staying at Swan for a few days. She already bought her tickets and made park pass reservations (for Epcot and Studios, the 15th and 16th respectively) but I've been holding out hope that CM passes wouldn't be as heavily...

I never even considered the possibility but my god what a nightmare :oops: Really hope that won't be the case. Apart from fireworks and F! coming back, I think a new electrical parade is the #1 thing I'd like to hear before the 50th. But assuming at this point there's zero chance of that. Nice...

Agree with the general sentiment here (RE: Disney using the pandemic as an excuse to cut corners) but not necessarily with the list. I'm with you on the loss of free parking and the Magical Express but am pretty confident EMH will be back (& iirc Disney is already planning to offer early park...

I can't imagine Disney telling tourists to "stay home" under any circumstances.

Exactly. Silver is my preference, but I think for the 50th gold would make a nice contrast with the pale gray and blue. I really hope they do away with that mauve ASAP, Cinderella's Castle should be cool colors. Pink is for SB Castle.

I mean, I'm not defending the decision to leave it in disrepair for so long. My point is that the main argument against festivals (at least to my knowledge?) was that they existed solely to distract guests from FW & allowed TDO to avoid investing the time and money necessary to improve the park...

I'm still kind of confused as to what people have against the festivals now that FW is finally getting some TLC. Is it the initial crowds you guys are objecting to or the kiosks themselves??? Having a hard time understanding why fewer kiosks and fewer food options at the festivals would be seen...

You don't. You only have to reserve the first park you visit. After 2:00PM you can park hop to any of the other three (assuming crowds are under capacity). AFAIK most major rides (Soarin' included) are up and running, minus the preshow and with a socially distanced queue. Some rides like TTA...

I mean for that matter, isn't a world's fair meant to be temporary? I'm a FL resident and I enjoy the festivals! I'll usually go to Epcot every few weeks and try different foods and festival events at my leisure, so it all stays pretty fresh for me. I'm 100% in agreement that TDO has leaned...
