I will lose the little respect I have left for Disney. I wouldn't feel bad if there is a takeover. So much for them saying they will keep high safety protocols. That flew out the window when Disneyland wasn't allowed to open.
Plus, the drop increased PP availability for all 4 parks, for all 3 categories for the entire month........That seems like adding to capacity vs a reshuffle
I’m not aware of increasing capacity to anywhere near 50%.
That’s not exactly how things transpired.
That presumes that if FPs were purchasable that there would be less of them which would make standby lines go faster.
The articles are speculating that the drop was an increase in capacity due to the holidays...….with Chapeks track record, I don't its too far fetched at all to assume they did it since hes already done it once before and lied about it
Post a quote of Chapek lying about not increasing capacity, please, otherwise, you're the one lying about it.
Right here...….https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/experience/america/theme-parks/2020/10/13/disney-world-attendance-remain-capped-new-cdc-covid-19-guidance/5977875002/
Why would I lie about it? Why the hostility? Its kind of a well known fact...Have you read Tom Brickers article?
A link would be nice to support what you're saying. I'm not the first to say that we've never heard of Chapek lying about increasing capacity.
I posted the links to his quotes but it says pending............Tom Bricker article on Oct 6th goes through a very compelling statistical debate about how numbers in the parks are definitely up.............Chapek says on Oct 12th that capacity is still just 25%....On Nov 12th, Chapek then came out and said they had been operating at 35% capacity despite his quote on Oct 12th saying they would stay at 25% until CDC guidelines changed (and fyi, CDC guidelines still haven't changed despite him raising capacity to 35%.)
Umm, Tom Brinker's article is an opinion, not a fact. And following Disney very closely, I've never heard the "fact" that Chapek is lying, so not sure how you think it's well known.
Ha.....Yes, opinion.....statically backed opinion......Cheapek
It wont let me include a link......Go to USA today on Oct 13th and read where he says they are staying at 25% capacity until CDC changes its guidelines.......Then on Nov 12th, he said the parks had been operating at 35%.........the exact start date of the increase wasn't given but by reading a bunch of people (including Tom Brickers well researched article), its obvious they increased it sometime in September
That my friends, is a lie by Chapek......
So Disney has stated that they are in constant communication with the CDC and other agencies, how do you know that maybe the CDC hasn't OK'd what Disney is doing? It's very possible that they have. And again, the parks "appearing" to be busier, does not mean that Disney increased capacity - it's also just as likely that the decreased capacity on some of the attractions - causing longer lines.
I’m pretty confident they added capacity on 11/11

That makes more sense than accusing them of lying.I’m pretty confident they added capacity on 11/11
And announced it on the earning call 11/12.NEWS: MORE December Park Passes Are Now Available for All Four Disney World Parks | the disney food blog
There are MORE Disney Park Passes available in December. Learn more here!
Ride capacity has increased (added plexiglass screens to ROTR and MRR are just 2 examples and to quenes for other rides)......Park hours have increased...…...BUT, so have wait times have increased?!?!?!?!...….The CDC makes public policy (not private policy) and by Chapeks own words (despite the fact you wont read HIS quote) he said they will not increase capacity unless the CDC changes the guidelines, that's a fact...…...Also fact that Chapek did increase capacity to 35% even though the CDC did not change their guidelines
They announced it that day but capacity was increased sometime in September.......And then Chapek said on Oct 12th they were still at 25% and would remain until CDC changed.......Well little info for you, CDC still hasn't changed and now WDW is at 35%.........
