[QUOTE="Shouldigo12, post: 9615628, member: 114970"] IF they see historic crowds, and Disney hasn't prepped by adding in extra staff and bringing back most of the entertainment options, then yeah. I think we can expect some pretty crazy crowds and lines. That's an if too big to consider certain right now though. For one, as mentioned, there's the issue of money. Everyone still needs the cash to be able to on a big trip, and they have to be willing to spend it. Two, there's the more psychological aspect. As we can see there's plenty of people willing to deal with crowds right now, but those are also more controlled crowds. As far as I'm aware the parks haven't been packed like they are at Christmas yet, and it's unclear how many people are going o be willing to be squished in like that in the near future. Yes, they'll be vaccinated, but a year of being told to avoid crowds and stay six feet apart the traditional theme park crowds might look too overwhelming even when you logically know you're safe. Third-theres going to be competition. A lot of it. Tourism has arguably been hit the hardest by the pandemic, and as soon as things start going back to normal every travel destination is going to be desperate to convince people they need to go *there*. I know Disney is Disney, and a lot of us have already decided thats our first stop. But it's not us they need to convince to come, it's everyone else. So. We'll see. It's possible everyone will flock there, but I think it's also possible one or more of the above factors could lessen the impact. [/QUOTE]
