At least this is unique -- to be honest (other than the concourse level) the vast majority of the interior of the Contemporary just has that generic business/conference/hotel-by-the airport feel to it. I understand the decision to lean Disney. Sure there might have been other ways to do it.

I read the releases and the thread but am unclear -- are regular park tickets also required? And if no, what time will admission start for non-day guests?

Is it ok if I (playfully) argue that walking to DHS and EPCOT from Swolphinserve honestly is not that much of a selling point? Like it is something I will do, but I never actually "enjoy" it. I wish they had golf cart shuttles or something.

I would just again point out the concept of externalities. We talk a lot about individual choice at this point, but the government (by nature of its role) is focused on macro impacts. No illness is contracted and treated in a vacuum. It uses resources, it puts people at risk, it costs money...

It caused a minor panic as I was driving in to stay at the Townplace with small kids in the car who were not going to be visiting Disney this trip. It was late. I was tired. I was convinced I was about to pop out at the MK resorts for a second lol.

Having just visited Kennedy Space Center last week, I would say there is a real opportunity to do something cool if Disney can at least match the quality of Planet Play.

Saw in in person this week. IMO #1 - it looks awful from the roads. It is hulking, obtrusive, and not all that interesting to look at. IMO #2 - it very nearly earns a pass from the resorts/parks side because the large glass façade nearly disappears into the skyline. If the covered patio and...

Which may lead them to move more slowly. I doubt they will change rules overnight. I suspect at least a few weeks notice to recondition guest expectations. For all the talk about people avoiding the parks because of the mandates, my suspicion is at least (and likely far more) came to the parks...

Ha! Arrived in the mail today! Finally!!

Allegedly my check has processed and has gone into the mail. 🤞

Just tossing out the ride time one way on the EPCOT loop is 15 minutes, which is the standard exposure duration for the vast majority of contract tracing programs. It could just be that Disney has chosen to remove a situation that would have an elevated transmission risk. Once the train is in...

Gives time to reframe guest expectations.

There are compelling reasons why governments and organizations deal in macro instead of micro risk mitigation strategies. The idea that individuals can make a choice to remain vulnerable to COVID without larger consequence is complete fiction. Do a quick read on externalities. This is one of the...

I would not be so sure. Disney is moving at its own speed. They are not getting nudged along by anything but their own business needs. I think people vastly overestimate how much Disney wants to get rid of masks. They could have done it already in Florida if they really wanted to do it. The...

I am calling again on Wednesday. That will be three weeks since the last call.

^THIS. Blanket rules make compliance and enforcement easier. And I have said this many times: At least in FL, if Disney wanted less restrictions they would have them. They would have the political cover from the governor as well as have significant lobbying ability. They have chosen to work...

Fantastic

Right, just to stop droplet-based infectious material from transmitting diseases..... wait a minute!

Called again today. Two hours of phone time. Still zero clarity on when the check will mail. The case has been in escalated status since February apparently (not seeming to do much good lol). I was once again assured it should mail "soon". Everyone is being so, so nice on the phone, and I am...

This is a really good summation of why I think the middle ground is so hard to find anymore in the Disney fan community. I think just about everyone recognizes there has been a decline in quality but is divided about the "why". What you state right here is the real reason many fans perceive such...
