However many people decide to adhere to social distancing. I mean, however many people decide not to.

Whoops, what was the question again?

Most restaurants opening 'enforce' their social distancing by marking which seats/tables are unavailable.

Yes but I want to know how this will be enforced at Disney. Best laid plans or in 90% of the plans I've seen, worst laid plans. You can't sit somewhere? I'd like to see how people will react when they can't be seated. Will they complain? Shout? Who knows?

If you're not in the right place, CMs come over and start singing "It's a Small World" at you.

As these places are not Disney but third party i would think they would be stricter in adherence. They don't want to be shut down for non compliance.

They should currently reopen the following day.

If they are being recalled back the 24th, they'll open the 25th?

Union rep in the Hollywood Reporter said the 27th for opening to the public.

My question is, are we actually going to be able to make out what the vloggers are saying with their masks on while they prance around World Of Disney on opening day? Or will it just be all muffled ?

It’s important to take note of how short the gap is here between cast members being notified, cast members returning to work, and operations resuming. For all of the posters here who keep thinking that cast members not being recalled yet is an indication of reopening being many weeks or a month away. This confirms that cast members will not be called back more than 1-2 weeks before opening.

Of course, one could argue it's different to open a few stores in Springs as opposed to massive theme parks.

One could. Certainly there are differences. Although ultimately the principle is the same and the parks are just much larger collections of retail, dining; and also attraction locations. But the point is the same. Park or springs, resort or transportation. Cast members will be recalled shortly before they are needed.

Well they got almost a two week notice to return back to Springs. We'll see after.

Yes. Like I’ve said since the beginning. They will get 1-2 weeks notice. Just like they did here.

Anyone know if Lego store is expecting to open on the 20th?

 

[Getachew]

Yes. Like I’ve said since the beginning. They will get 1-2 weeks notice. Just like they did here.

We'll see. I'd argue it depends on the position or role.

Obviously. There will be a range. Some leaders and support roles will start slightly ahead. But not by much. 1-2 weeks is still the general rule. They aren’t going to pay cast members for many weeks before they open, and the prep time as evident here is not that long.

I didn’t say “many weeks” but for certain roles mores than a few days, that is if its true disney owned stores in Springs are opening on the 27th. That hasn’t been confirmed by Disney yet.

A week and a half is more than “a few days” and is plenty of time.

like I’ve said 1-2 weeks
