Rumor Character greet changes coming

[asianway]

Riddle me this: how are you going to sell character set times when there’s no character greets?

Especially when those greets won't be coming back anytime soon.

On the bright side, maybe they’ll get rid of the Donald stuff in Dinoland.

In the Disney earnings conference call yesterday, when the China park reopens character meet and greet will be done with social distancing observed.

This is the text on that:

Beloved Disney characters will appear in the park in a new way, as they make appearances in each of the themed lands, greeting and welcoming everyone back to Shanghai Disneyland. Close interaction and close-up photos with characters will be suspended during the initial phase of reopening.

I imagine they will be more like zoo exhibits than anything similar to the full contact sport we had before.

By definition that’s not a meet n greet

Real talk: is there a chance I can get my beef barley soup back as a result of this? I’d pay CRT prices with no characters and the old menu

Bring back the old menu, the original CM costumes and music loop, the pewter plates and put up the King Stefan sign.

Say it's a 50th Anniversary throw back. The AP crowd won't care if it's a year early. They'll love it.

If meet and greets with face characters are off the table for long time, does that mean they can finally shut down Princess Fairytale Hall and stick an actual dark ride in that space again?

No new Capex is getting approved.

No. Your ride from that spot is now 7DMT.

 

[Ronnie Sanford]

If you don’t believe my info I’ve got Florida swampland to sell you.

Doesn't mean we can get another "Wild Ride" and have smaller motorcar vehicles similar to Indy/Dino taking us to nowhere in particular..

You are doing it wrong.

Good thing I'm not one of those who loves meet and greets. Let's be honest, the main reason for meet and greets, selfies/pictures or videos of characters are 10% for personal collection and 90% to post on social media and brag about it.

Which is nothing new. You used to have an autograph book and brag about that. Maybe in 20 years people will collect holograms instead of selfies!

I hear they will be collecting Ride fees of various amounts in the queues as well. Also bus, boat, monorail and skyliner will now only be allowed with a Disney Transportation pass purchased in advance for a Disney-sized fee. You know these are just another revenue source and WDW is a business.

Disney can market the monorail fees as a '50th Anniversary Memory Moment'. They'll say it will dovetail into the new and exciting reintroduction of ticket and admission books. 'Rise of the Resistance' will be two E-Coupons of course !

This beloved company is cash strapped and no one believes this is a possibility?
