Don’t you think if it was that simple they would?
Yeah, when I was in Disneyland Paris in February, we spoke to CMs who were set to travel to Orlando to begin training CMs for Rat ride. But obviously with the travel bans in place, that makes that impossible. Then the other thing people are not considering is that the cast that will be operating Rat will be Cultural Exchange Program participants... or at least should be if these were normal times. So still possible they could open with local CMs instead, but the training is a difficulty.

Couldn't they just use Zoom for the training?

Training can't be that hard, right? Lol

The problem is guests rate attractions, not sight lines. Sight lines are subliminal. Just because it doesn’t show up anywhere on their spreadsheets doesn’t mean it has no effect on guests.

T.H.I.S.

Good sightlines are a major part of what makes Disney "feel" different from the outside world - including other theme parks. If Disney management "forgets" this or is too short-sighted to take it into account, Disney will no longer be the experience that it has been for 60+ years.

It typically takes 2-3 weeks for a new hire to be fully trained in their role, I don't see additional training taking longer than that.
They take that long now? Wow! When I worked there (granted, ages ago) my training lasted 2-3 days. Only exception was monorail (5 days). At Universal my training for each position was 1 day for a total of 4 days (Disaster!) and 3 days for Hogwarts Express plus 1 day just for Potter Info training.

If Epcot does open...when are we expecting this to be operational. Any timeframe? It seemed almost complete.

Escipally if Spaceship Earth is still going down.

Back in the day (before my time) traditions itself was 3 days long. In my experience it takes 2-3 weeks to be fully trained in a role. This is in QSR and Custodial.

I imagine a good chunk of it is required HR powerpoints that are now mandated by the government. You know, peoples and their lawsuits on everything nowadays..
