I like your thinking. Build more rides, add more shows and eating venues, operate at full capacity, spread out those crowds! Safety first ...one fireworks show per week would lead to one damn crowded fireworks show per week. they should do the opposite. increase the frequency of shows. expand hours. spread things out.
They haven’t let anyone go yet. Plus, the transfer genie that does transfer request for cast members have been suspended. I see a hiring freeze at WDW. They have plenty of cast members.Disney is going to have an easier time hiring people since the economy is going to be so bad, lots of people looking for work...
Or just let in 200 of the super-rich in at a time. Each guest gets their own suite of CMs to disinfect in front of and behind. Disney World finally becomes Westworld.I like your thinking.

That's another issue. When business slows, and a company has too many on the payroll, no one can not be so naive to know that restructuring and consolidating are not being looked into.They haven’t let anyone go yet.

That’s why they cancelled the college program / international cultural representative program for the near future. Full time and part time cast members will be deployed to different areas with the most need.That's another issue.

As they continue to Marriot-ify the resorts and de-theme them there is even less incentive to stay at a Disney hotel that is not part of a park visit...
Full time cast working at the world pavilions in Epcot? Don't see it happening or Epcot even opening at all while the parks and resorts slowly open.That’s why they cancelled the college program / international cultural representative program for the near future.

They need a summer festival!!For whatever it’s worth (feel free to disagree with me), multiple scenarios are being discussed, including the one being described here. This also includes the what-ifs like remaining entirely closed for a year+. Not likely I know but just throwing it out there that this park opening with that one, phased openings, this resort area closed and this one open, etc are all being considered. Just sharing what I’ve heard.
I suspect (purely my opinion now!) that Epcot is being considered not just for the reasons mentioned in this thread (all of which are valid) but also because of profit margins. Locals in particular, which will likely make up a large chunk of guests early on after opening, spend more $$$ at Epcot vs any other park. Ironically, I was also told that Epcot would likely be the last phased in park to open a month or so ago so it would seem things are not surprisingly in a constant state of change. Basically, who knows![]()
Sadly I’d probably be thereThey need a summer festival!!
@wdwmagic @marni1971
How many restaurants are operated by Disney World vs. third party vendors in Epcot?
Agreed!They need a summer festival!
If anything it should be opened initially and exclusively to us Florida Resident APs.![]()
That could likely be late next year with a majority vaccinated population not existing until sometime in 2022. I don’t think its realistic to expect WDW not to open until then if you expect them to be able to reopen at all.Personally, I also see WDW waiting until there's a vaccine, and it is safe for people with medical vulnerabilities, including the elderly, to travel.

Correct. We’ve been waiting for an HIV vaccine for nearly 40 years.Even that is speculative. People are optimistic about a vaccine, but there's no guarantee one can be developed that is both safe and effective.
