Here’s a fun (
) story I’ve never shared on here. I worked at Everest quite a bit ago, but for multiple years. We had counters at the exit (they were over head as you walked into see your on-ride photos) to measure our OHRC. Whenever we ever had hours we could tell we weren’t going to hit our OHRC*, the managers and coordinators (or they would delegate this to “tasking” CMs) would walk through the exit, through the gift shop, through the gate by single rider, back to the unload platform and make the circle again multiple times.
It was brutal today….not sure an extra degree or two would matter?
They must be at Olde Town?
Yep, once you hit the mid 90's with relative humidity above 50%, you're getting in the danger zone...
My daily work is in the region with no numbers
Thats pretty much our weather last July 105 heat index daily.
Which is not 105 air temp.
Same. I live in the Deep South and work outdoors, so WDW in the summer doesn’t really bother me, especially when you’re bouncing in and out of air conditioned queues and indoor rides and shows. Doesn’t mean I love it, but you can be acclimated to it.
Maybe we need maverick if we’re going to be in the danger zone
The surface temp is no joke. Before we lock our car at the parking lot , we use towels to cover our leather seats , leather steering wheel etc. Interior temps inside car can cook bacon and eggs right on the leather seat. 3 days in June one year I had a complete reroof. For 3 days 5 roofers looking like ninjas worked 8-4 only taking a 30 min break to sit in their work van to have lunch. I advised these hard workers in Spanish if they needed to use my bathroom just let me know . They never did , their work van never left my driveway during those 3 days. The temps each day was 98,95,96. Up on the roof was surely triple digits. They did a great job. Who knows , maybe my landscaping got fertilized during that time.
How much is variable pricing affecting attendance? Are people avoiding the more expensive days? Does the variable pricing help even out the crowds, or do cheaper days tend to be busier than expensive days (depending on time of year…I’d imagine July 4, Christmas/New Year’s weeks will always be busy for the most part).
Absolutely, Central Florida can be brutal in the summer, the average daily high in July is 92. Gonna be a lot of unpleasant days every year.
We were in 3…Epcot was the worst…but not really that awful
And Tony's Town Square eliminated the free cinnamon roll appetizer when they opened back up for breakfast
You think $10 here and there really puts a dent in a $8,000 week?
