I think if were being honest, the Halloween / Christmas parties were WAY oversold and made for a pretty miserable experience. Everything was timed out so you spent a majority of your time on Main Street watching the castle show, then the parade, then the fireworks. If you were lucky you had time...

Any idea if this includes salaried who were laid off or just union cast?

Yes, MouseGear definitely needs to open their windows!

Probably means they will have meet and greets with the bear like at DS Coca Cola shop or just projection technology like they use everywhere now. Who doesn't want to wave their hands at a screen and move Coca Cola logos to bring the "brand to life"??

Disney might just get that scenario of lower crowds if they decide not to invest in the parks again pretty soon. With Uni opening Epic Universe as well as having Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, the water park, hotels and nightlife, they are truly going to be a vacation destination for...

Just remember that there is still plenty of things not open that would normally be eating up these people. With less to do means more people in walkways and queue lines.

I think the fact that the parks are at capacity during spring break shows you that the demand is there. They are at 35% full with all of the international borders shut down, so you basically have parks full of locals and out of state guests. Not to mention all of the pit of state guests in the...

This. I think Disney’s idea here is to push Rat out far enough and make the 50th a big enough deal that people feel comfortable to book. If you open Rat next month, people are still not ready to commit to a Disney vacation just yet. But if you advertise all of these things for October when I...

I wonder if Rat would soft open months early and then have its official ribbon cutting opening on October 1st? I could see something like that being done. But then again, there is also the issue of the CRP's. Does Disney want regular folk as Cast Members running their brand new attraction and...

Any rumors as to when typhoon will open? I would guess probably towards May when kids start to get out of school and the summer heat forces people to water parks? Also, would like to see the water park AP make a return soon. $70 for a one day ticket as a local is just not happening.

Disney is always going to play the waiting game with stuff like this to cover their butts. They will let universal relax mask standards and physical distancing for about a month or two and then they will follow. This way if anyone says anything they can point to the fact that they actually...

Go get ‘em Karen!

What resorts are still closed?

I think there is one reason Disney would keep the park pass system once mask wearing and all that is gone. The system does provide details on park attendance and can be used for staffing purposes to cut or increase the labor for a specific day if you see something coming up. I still don’t think...

So it appears there aren't any options for a local to buy a waterpark AP? Kind of a shame because a local isn't going to shell out $70 per family member every time they want to visit the water park. Its a shame I was really looking forward to going when they opened, but not at that price when...

This is an issue to anyone who goes anywhere repeatedly for years. Its very hard to maintain expectations when people have them. The first time I went to Disney I stayed at Port Orleans and went in with very little expectations and was blown away by the place. The following visit to Disney we...

I wish they still had the magic shop in DS but it was on the West Side which is a dead zone. They also should have had someone outside the shop performing magic every now and then to draw attention to it. Show the families a cool magic trick and get them to go inside and explore the shop. But it...

I think what these veteran imagineer retirements actually signal for us is that the company is not expecting to invest in large projects in the next few years. Who else is left at this point? Just Tom Fitzgerald, but he is in the middle of the Epcot project so I would expect him to stick around...

You have to remember there are a lot of shows that aren't running that would normally be eating up a lot of these people. Take a huge chunk of them and put them in the shows as well as queueing for the following show and you would wipe out a large chunk of guests walking around.

So according to this Epcot is basically open to pre-pandemic levels. Does anyone have any idea what type of attendance the parks are hitting currently compared to the daily average posted above?
