While it needs to be vetted, it would match up with how other corona viruses have evolved. The 2003 SARS outbreak for lack of a better term just died out. So it's not inconceivable that this would fit the pattern.

I wouldn't go that far. But it is mindboggling to me with the care and effort that they put into the ride and the land as a whole that this was the best pre-show they could come up with.

With SARS, most human to human Infections occurred while in health care settings that lacked Infection control procedures. Once more robust procedures were put into place the infection ended.
Covid as we know transmit mostly from droplets, from coughing, sneezing in the mass population and a chance from touching contaminated surfaces then touching your face. So it’s much harder to control. This won’t just go away.
And SARS spread was easier to stop because there was not asymptotic carriers.

That’s another thing, much easier to control.

All Disney preshows are a bit corny...I don’t think they are ever trying to film terms of endearment for them
MyMagic+ was pure idiocy. They expected people to be just as happy seeing Philharmagic as riding Haunted Mansion.
For 20 years, they didn't increase ride capacity as attendance went up like 50% or more.

Well that’s great, we all get sprayed with that anti parasite mist so it’s the safest place to be

Correct...
But I don’t think it had anything to do with their illusions. They didn’t have a choice because of the reason you pointed out...lack of reinvest.
Park stagnation is the #1 enemy of parks and always has been. And when they did almost NOTHING from 1999 to 2015....it overwhelmed their ability to run as an enjoyable park in many ways. The tiering was a the big giveaway. But it is other things as well.
The overall attendance from 2000 was around 44,000,000 a year...it rose to 54,000,000 in the mid 2010’s...when they closed as many things as they opened.
Numbers don’t work that way.
Fastpass+ is a necessity due to lack of supply. No other explanation really works. Especially “guest convenience”

It’s probably as comforting as defense without analysis, huh?

I get that. I just don't personally enjoy most of theirs. Specifically Hagrid's and Gringotts, they shove so many people in the room that you can barely see or hear what's actually going on.
Maybe with less in the room that won't be a problem anymore, if they are indeed ran.
This thread isn't about what's your favorite pre-show or your thumbs up or down on FP+.

Can you point me to the Effects of Coronavirus on Pre-shows thread?

No that would be bad, I think.

Actually, that's on-topic!
It's everyone chiming in their pre-show tier list that's off.
If your post can be summarized by: "Oh, you just mentioned topic X, well, lemme tell you what I think about topic X...", then it's off-topic.
Don't mind that for most threads, but this one's already a beast. Give @The Mom a break!

At least I mentioned that it would be more enjoyable with less crowds if they are ran!Actually, that's on-topic!

Why should people suddenly care about "giving me a break" now?

It’s about general “unknown” with leisure that ALOT of people are obsessed about. That’s was gonna grow like weeds from the start. And here it is 25,000 posts later.
You request for “order” is appreciated...but unrealistic, No?
The reason (speaking for me alone) that I commented on fastpass+ is this is the rare opportunity where customer feedback and actions may steer Disney’s new policies. The dial is somewhat “reset”
It’s an interesting scenario to bring it up. But if it’s “thanks, Dad...can you please hit me again?!?”...well that would be fitting too.
