They didn't announce the return of Fantasmic even though they announced shows at the other parks. Hopefully it means FOF and Fantasmic will simply return without 50th anniversary fanfare.

My thought exactly. Surely it's time.

Not sure where Gottlieb is getting his data surrounding "substantial upsurges of infection"... https://usafacts.org/issues/coronavirus/, Click the 4 states he mentioned (Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi) and you see little change in the daily reported cases since early May. The...

Thank goodness. We're taking a 3 year old in December. Without the stretch rooms he wouldn't be sufficiently freaked out before the ride.

I get it. That's said mostly in anger. I want things to turn around but I also despise the idea that those who embrace and spread fear and lies will get their lives back the same as me, and I certainly don't see any possibility of the non-vaxxers embracing reason without some sort of...

And Zinc. Don't forget your Zinc!

You are right, but at this point consequences need to happen if the vaccine hesitant are to change their minds. I live in a very low vaccinated-rate state and I've heard every excuse in the book to reject the vaccine, all more ridiculous as the next. "It alters your DNA you know." "We're not...

Part of you? I actually hope it happens to them. The "voluntarily" unvaccinated that is. Something tells me those hospitalized with COVID might not see the same sympathetic attitudes moving forward from healthcare workers as before.

They ended the only perk I really cared about 2 years ago - free resort parking.

Zero faith in humanity, but a lot of faith in capitalism's ability to adjust to cultural shifts.

Agreed, although I think it might be a little longer than that - probably the span of a generation (15-30 years). Coronavirus is the most impactful event of Gen Z and younger Millenials' lives, and those events shape more than anything else the beliefs and attitudes of the groups. If nothing...

Yep. And now we have better vaccine technology that a third (at least) of the world is rejecting because they only trust it if the dead disease is directly injected into their bodies.

Successful organizations understand their employer brand and how it represents a competitive labor advantage. It's not about valuing employees, it's the perception of value. Post-COVID, good performers are going to gravitate to organizations they perceive as safer, meaning the organizations with...

An honor system for the voluntarily unvaccinated is irony at its finest. My 2 cents: drop all mask policies. The CDC already says fully-vaccinated people can resume activities without masks or social distancing. The foil hats who have chosen not to receive the vaccine are also the most likely...

Ditto.

This is the biggest post-COVID culture shift I expect to see in the world of work. Sick leave policies will be one of the first things job seekers research, and I expect organizations with robust policies to start promoting them as a competitive employment advantage.

Where’s that old dancing banana emoji when you need it. #wooohoooo

The 15 Minutes of Fame Coaster featuring Olivia Whatshername!

One can agree that mask requirements before all American adults had access to the vaccine were a good thing and lifting mask requirements for fully-vaccinated Americans is also a good thing. The two positions do not have to be mutually-exclusive.

Grumpy old man alert: the problem for me isn't the need to plan - I love to plan my trips, but now my planning for Disney isn't an interest, it's a requirement. Researching historical park attendance, dining reviews, wait times, etc. to create an awesome itinerary was as much fun for me as...
