Disney World has required their employees to get vaccinated, so it surprises me that even with vaccine compliance, they are still required to wear masks. What was the point of the vaccine requirement if not to pave the way for normalcy amongst their employees?
I’ve given up trying to predict announcements. I would announce it on a Friday afternoon but they didn’t ask me.
The point of the mandates is to get enough of society vaccinated so we can get to the endemic stage of this rather than a pandemic stage. We aren’t there yet unfortunately. Wdw doesn’t exist in a bubble - they and their employees are impacted by what’s happening outside their gates as well.
If they announce on Friday afternoon I’d expect it to come after the stock market closes.
They currently have 0 in CAPEX going on for Epic Universe. Yes, they are going to build it, but currently they aren't expending any money on it.
Of course. Friday night before Halloween is a great way to bury a story.
Today
I wonder if Disney was operating with unusually lower expenditures last quarter, too....
Chapek would never. He loves the parks and has since his first visit to WDW as a kid. He cherishes memories of his first ride on Splash Mountain in 1974.I wonder if Disney was operating with unusually lower expenditures last quarter, too....
I'll have to look at the quarterly report. There is definitely some money being spent on it because I know someone who works for Universal's imagineering equivalent and is working on it as we speak.
Then the current mask policy shouldn't matter to you at all. I assumed it did based on participation in this thread.We aren’t going until she’s vaccinated. Not sure what made you think otherwise. But thanks for the unsolicited and uninformed advice?
I was having a momentary exchange with another poster that was speaking on a more personal level about trauma related to the pandemic on the whole. I was responding to the idea shared that people’s personal trauma (and PTSD like reactions) could continue even after vaccines are available to all, and sharing my personal viewpoint on that point and how that impacts my view on mask mandates. I’m sorry you didn’t follow the exchange.
Nah, not far enough. He should have been summarily executed for crimes against humanity.
He’s lucky he didn’t say it up here in New England. We’ve burned people for less. Just last week, someone said, “I don’t know…New Haven pizza just isn’t that good,” and, well…
Money is being spent on Epic Universe now, that aside wasn't a new coaster at Universal built over the past year? Was that built with 0 CAPEX? when another park's coaster was delayed and postponed.
