If they want to attract the big spenders from other states, they’re gonna have to spend the big bucks and make it an experience the non mega fans are willing to pay for. Waiting in line for 30-60 minutes just to have your bags hand searched isn’t a good start.#jealous
Went to Downtown Disney today for one last experience of 'quiet' there before the parks reopen (and for a CrazyShake on a hot day lol). Had to hand my bag to security to be pawed through (he was quite quick and polite). Never liked it pre-Covid for germ-sharing and still don't like it now. Especially when there are easy breezy alternatives.
Visitors? No, it hasn’t. But just imagine if Disneyland’s primary customers weren’t locals. If they had made different decisions 20 years ago, we might be there today.
They were caught on 3 different occasions.
Interesting about the staffing. I know we’ve been hearing of the challenges but it doesn’t appear they are hiring at this time. My daughter was looking into becoming a CM, nada in the careers site. Any other places she would look?
I’m hoping that post June 15, if the state truly opens up, the hotels and associated restaurants will as well. As of right now, a friends wife that works at steakhouse 55 has heard nothing about a reopening date.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply insider knowledge. I have none. My comment was based on what others have said around here. It was previously reported (by those in the know - not me!) that Disney was having trouble calling cast members back to work. There was a significant number of people that had moved on to other jobs. My guess is that until they've finished the "call through the current list" thing they won't be looking for anyone new. I can't imagine the legal trouble they would be in if they hired people from outside without having tried to recall all the people that were furloughed. But again, this is total speculation on my part.
Oh, I know. My question was more general for the crowd here. As you say, I'm guessing they will need to see who decides to return before they start hiring.
