News Magic Kingdom July 2020 reopening reports

[Sirwalterraleigh]

People were using the hand sanitizer and masks were enforced. I don't recall seeing anyone at magic Kingdom today without a mask on except for when they were eating.

Wasn’t commenting on masks.

I was pointing other potential “gaps” in the coverage.

Not as aggressive as I thought they’d be

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Not a chance with a shutdown. Quit listening to the media

...I’m shocked to hear you say that...

I do think they could go the universal route and squirt into everyone’s hand before they board the attraction. It can’t hurt.

I know The mayor of Orange County could shut it down. There are testing sites everywhere. More testing = more positive results. And the death rates keep going down. If people are afraid, they Have the right to stay home with no judging. People were having a good time Wednesday with no issues. The only issue would be the hoarders over at Splash Mountain trying to make a lot of money. Wait till their AP is terminated for trying to profit off the merchandise.

...you went straight to hoaxer theory...didn’t even bother to pause a second.

Impressive...good day.

I wouldn’t call it hoaxer as much as I would call it...”the truth.”

Old Tim Trakker posted his visit from today...
There is NO ONE there.

I think the reports of pent up demand may have been overstated. Anything going on in the news I missed today?

I would continue to be very very interested in the number of reserved ‘no shows’. I know the goal was very limited numbers for the AP previews, but the pictures and reports seem are conservative even for that. Cast previews seemed to have longer lines. Once we get a few weeks of this sort of operation under our belt, some obvious attendance patterns should emerge which might suggest trends on demand. The weekend should be very interesting to watch.

The fact that AP attendance is down irritates me that the previews were tied up within an hour.

I think tomorrow will be “slammed.”

And that days and parks into September are already full.

i know at least a few local AP’s who decided not to go when they woke up to really heavy rain this morning. I decided to go later than originally planned and thankfully the weather broke and it was quite nice, if hor.

Got in park at 2pm:


Peter Pan x2
IASW x1
7D x1
Splash x3
HM
PoTC
Jungle
CoP
Buzz
Dumbo
Barnstormer

Not necessarily as only reserved guests will enter so it's still controlled.

Speaking of Slammed, NBA players are now allowed after hours access to specific parks.

Upon 'booking.'

Looks like a paid-for after hours event that a player can 'book', which I presume means 'pay for.'

It's not stroll into any park they want any day.

I wouldn’t call it hoaxer as much as I would call it...”the truth.”

Except the positivity rates...and the hospitalizations...and icu rates...

And the 4.6% fatality rate on something that’s 99% harmless.

Again...have a good weekend and drink more. That goes for everyone

 

[Parker in NYC]

I'm just unsure of what the expectation was. What is it that they are or aren't doing that is a problem?

Opening.

I’m at MK today for the second day of Passholder previews. While I understand that today will be the most aware guests compliance with the mask rules seems near 100%. It is kind of surreal to see crowds so low and virtually everything is a walk on.

I really like the new process for Mobile Order (at least at Cosmic Rays). They finally figured out how to fix the clumping of people around the pickup counter.

I’ve only seen one person try to pull the mask off while walking with drink in their hand. Two separate CM’s asked him to put the mask on which was great to see.

The legacy patterns of groups spread out all across a path, or just stopping in the middle are really frustrating when trying to maintain distance. The oblivious to other issues are much more of a challenge in a social distancing world.

Oh, and Cinderella Castle looks amazing in person. It’s certainly different, but that is not automatically a bad thing. View attachment 482631

Glad you had a positive experience.

That castle looks like it could use a vaccine.

Is low attendance considered a “vaccine” for a castle?
