It depends how it was set up. It’s possible that once you scanned into a water park you could make reservations, but that wouldn’t work for you at resort swimming pools.
At DL I can make a maxpass reservation for Radiator Springs while inside Disneyland park for example, once I’ve scanned into a park the system is on.

I’m not sure I get why they’d cancel them completely. It seems like 25 of 50% capacity for shows should be fine?
Universals preshows are pretty terrible overall though, so that’s a win for them.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain. We were fine with legacy FastPass. I was the family runner and actually found it to be fun, although Epcot was always an evening park for us and we could never get FastPasses for Soarin’. Our family was younger then and we vacation differently now so I appreciate FP+. If Disney goes to a different system again I’m sure we’ll find a way to make it work.
In coronovirus news, this is limited information from only a few doctors, so take it with a grain of salt. but good news if true:
New coronavirus losing potency, top Italian doctor says
The new coronavirus is losing its potency and has become much less lethal, a senior Italian doctor said on Sunday.www.reuters.com
Grain of salt indeed.
This is as anecdotal as the first results for Hydroxychloroquine. It needs vigorous testing. Until then, everyone should pretend that this changes nothing.

It's okay. People are already pretending that COVID-19 was never a thing. So you're right, this changes nothing.

The pre-shows for ToT, HM, and Rise are all critical to their overall experience.
I would hope some other alternative could be arranged besides just skipping them.

I am, however, totally fine with skipping the preshow for FoP. That guy is the worst actor in the history of the Performing Arts.

He, uh, has kind of, uh, grown on me.
You answered your own question there. They can stop it and keep prices right where they are because, like you said, people don't realize they are paying for it. This frees them up to monetize it like Universal does for Express pass.
Fwiw, the only pre-show considered "legally necessary" is always FoP and, sometimes, Dinosaur (legal prefers guests watch it). The others can be skipped - and are skipped with regularity, either during special events, tours or for other reasons.
Even when high profile guests go to FoP they are forced to sit through the FoP preshows due to the safety information regarding the restraints contained therein.
So very possible/likely the others get skipped but they will find a way to make you watch the FoP pre-show.

Not talking about what's legal or not. I'm saying the experience would be diminished. Pre-shows are part of the show that people pay to see.

I'm guessing the antics/games of 'Ohana, 50's Prime Time and Whispering Canyon will be cut back when they reopen.
No, people will stop staying on site without the 60 day window.

I agree with you, just pointing out that that there’s precedent for skipping all of them except FoP. So anyone hoping to avoid that overlong preshow shouldn’t hold their breath..

They won’t
Hmmm...wonder if that’s a precursor to the next round of cancellations?"Disney Cruise Line has announced that they will be extending the future cruise credit to sailings that depart by March 31, 2022. Here is their statement:"

Love this so much! Dolly is an American treasure and one classy lady. Second only to WDW, Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is my favorite place to visit.
No they’re not, and not it’s not.
Preshows are part of the immersion, part of the story. Part of the experience.
