Compared to DLR and DLP, I've always felt WDW (and particularly Magic Kingdom) is surprisingly full of these types of exposed bare walls. The backs of the Main Street USA facades were also always visible from certain angles.
Also, not sure they're going for realism. Probably more like an idealized representation. In that sense, the bare walls stick out--it wasn't the product of years of development, it was literally built from the ground up for a theme park. Unthemed elements stick out.
So how are the parks today? How do guests there respond to the ride these days?
We’ve felt very safe. Cast crack down on mask violations - and we’ve seen maybe a dozen in three days total. The ride seems very popular still although the parks aren’t that busy at all. It’s one party per ratmobile at the moment.
Also about spacing out the official opening of new attractions for the marketing value of having a steady drip of new things opening instead of "wasting" it by opening everything at once during low-capacity COVID times.
That makes sense as well. Wonder if they’ll open the gate and the crepe shop first or keep the whole area closed off until the ride is operational.
Tempted to take a trip to DLP, but increasingly feeling that I've missed my chance with coronavirus cases soaring where I live in the Netherlands and also in Paris.
Martin has said that training is an issue before.
Without going off topic too much, there’s a noticeable lack of guests in the week. Weekends are busier but not rammed. Four of the six hotels are closed. It’s a great experience for those who make it - albeit we have to quarantine for two weeks returning to the UK. We heard maybe a half dozen British accents so far.
