Can anyone speak to the “crowd” currently at Epcot? Is it Saturday Night Fever? Quiet?

Theyre awesome, but the other parks arent doing a full traditional bag check. It's no- to low-contact too!

Posted this in the Magic Kingdom one earlier...whoops
So I’m just getting home from EPCOT. Still low crowds, most attractions were walk ons early but the one thing I did notice that there was a LOT less mask compliance and enforcement than there was at the MK last week for the AP previews. I saw obnoxious kids walking around with their masks half off in Future World, people strolling mask free with their alcohol in World Showcase, some woman walking into the caramel store (whatever it’s called) in Germany with no mask on, even some dude smoking IN the park. Now, I know that Disney set forth an updated policy today in regards to where/when you have to wear your mask, but word must have been slow to get around or it just wasn’t being enforced.
In Epcot where lots of alcohol are consumed could add to the effect. For the kids, they are just acting stupid.Posted this in the Magic Kingdom one earlier...whoops

Epcot is a tough one to keep in check in general. But they’re going to need to figure it out. Especially if they start to increase attendance.

Who gets more aggressive... a guest with alcohol in Epcot or a guest with Dole Whip in MK?
(Alcoholic dole whip in Epcot / DAK should be an entire page to itself in cast member enforcement playbook!)

I got my dole whip and sat down and watched the magic carpets fly. So I’m going. With alcohol at Epcot!

Snagged an Epcot reservation a couple minutes ago for Monday after work!
Were the beer kiosks open? Specifically the one in Germany. Asking for a friend.

New signs are up-
Extremely low crowds in the showcase this evening. It’s the lightest I’ve ever seen and that includes the day before Irma. Every food stand is a walk up.

Park hopping ASAP.

All they gotta do is have a park hop page on mde. Have a traffic light: green means hop, yellow means may be at cap when you get there, red is no.

at the very least Epcot should be open up for hopping. At this point I think Disney springs is more inviting than Epcot.... that’s not even a joke.

I like your fastpass idea better. But for any of this they'd likely need to restrict re-entry so they'd know they had a spot.
Edit - Or they could just not worry about it since distancing isn't gonna be an issue at epcot.

Weekday Food and Wine was always walk up even before limited attendance.
I imagine now weekdays are practically empty. Even if they let more locals in how many would show up on a Monday afternoon?
Epcot has reservations available for almost every day for all tickets. The tourists are the missing. Not locals who want to go but can't.
