Universal Puts Disney's Reopening on Defensive

[trainplane3]

So it's not a representation of what it's supposed to look like?

Oops...

It's based off of construction plans and current support layout.

It looks like they have people exiting right past the people arriving. Also, the 6 foot markers on the ground don't go back far enough.

It’s good to be back! From today:

This is a great opportunity for Bubble Tape to jump in and try to help with social distancing. The product was before it's time.

Not having a reservation system is a massive mistake. UNI is risking permanent damage to its reputation.

Some more updates from Twitter.

Virtual queue times are all gone except for Mummy


Maybe an IT failure?



No ET pre-show


One party per room at HE

Its a brave new world. With some problems.

WDW can sit back and watch at what Universal did right, and what they did wrong.

Smart move on their part.

Resorts talk to each other, you know?

I agree, but it has to be a relief to let someone else be the guinea pig. A lot of people are praising Universal for opening immediately, but maybe it wasn't the best idea? I guess time will tell.

People would expect a full parade and it would block main pathways that will push people to the sides breaking social distancing. Oh and the real reason $$$

Mostly it's the money. Somewhere in the corporate offices there is a managers saying a prayer each evening that Disney's visitors comeback in droves without them having parades and fireworks, because if that happens he knows they will never return and they will save even more money.

Conversely there’s this



Not that the prior situation should have been allowed to happen.

I mean, rope drop is always going to be the biggest bunch up, so they need to figure out how to manage, especially if they are not doing reservations and entry times.

This will be Disney's biggest problem, especially if the popular rides "sell out" VQ in the first hour or so of opening like ROTR was.

Universal is only releasing Limited number of VQ time’s every 15 minutes or so, that way people that arrive at different time’s have the chance to get varying ride access.

Nah, hope to limit the parades and fireworks to after hours added cost events. Limited. That is limited to days of the week ending with y.

Universal actually looks more crowded than I expect. I wonder what percentage of this group is the capacity of their new limit.

Please keep the political discussions in the correct forum. Thank you.

Not a happy person. Or looking for things to moan about?

Did they mention the new, improved FJ lockers that are being built?
