I don’t necessarily disagree. It’s going to be hard to have any form of real social distancing at WDW. That’s probably why the powers to be may possibly choose to not open the parks until the whole country is successfully in phase 3 of the guidelines and a lot of the details discussed won’t be necessary. The famous “bean counters” will ultimately decide if they can make enough money in a limited opening earlier to make it worth doing or if it’s more profitable to just wait until they can ramp up to close to business as usual.
The problem with both elevators and stairs is the commonly used surfaces. On elevators it is the buttons and exterior deluxe stairs it is the door hardware. It seems like it would be easier to just use the ground floor. The Polynesian Village and Grand Floridian have automatic doors on the ground floors so people would not be touching anything to enter.
There used to be elevator operators back in the day in each elevator. Maybe we will see them again, even though they will just be pushing buttons.
That’s why I’m more and more leaning towards a fall opening. Maybe Sept 1. Especially if schools are back by then there will be a lot of people interacting on a regular basis anyway. We will also have several months after the stay at home orders are lifted to see what the impact (if any) is.
Voice activation Instead? (The elevator, not the operators)
Was thinking that could work too. Lets get working on it and make some moola.
Your going to the dark side now. Welcome.
I would be less worried about pushing buttons and more worried about riding in an elevator filled with strangers. They could just put hand sanitizer stations on each floor by the elevator or staircase doors. When you exit the stairs or elevator just wash your hands. There’s nothing you can do if an infected stranger coughs or sneezes in the elevator with you.
I find that the body of most media articles are honest descriptions of the preliminary research. Usually. I've read some really horrendous mischaracterizations but that's not the norm. Still, people should read the actual published study and not depend on news summaries. Especially if they intend to get onto social media and spout off about it
I don’t want to, but the more I think about it the harder it’s going to be.Your going to the dark side now. Welcome.
It’s okay the Dark side has cookies.
Fla schools close in May, correct?
I wouldn’t exactly call that major considering how close we are to the end of the school year anyway.
The way the governor of MA was talking the other day, it seems like they're going to do everything in their power to get kids back to school up here. I don't know 1) how they think that's reasonable, 2) how they could possibly guarantee the safety of children and by extension, the families they live with, 3) how they think parents are even willing to send kids, given the wide range of potentially severe symptoms carried by this virus.
