That's why reputable science undergoes peer review from people unaffiliated with the original study/theory/results/whatever. If a scientist is lying, it will come out eventually through other scientific research.
You certainly don't have to believe scientists, and occasionally the scientific consensus turns out to be wrong (although that's generally about more theoretical issues that are very difficult to test), but if you aren't going to believe in science then there's really nothing you can believe in.

Sure. But they could do that as some special after hours just for cast. Maybe two or three nights that CMs can sign up for in advance. I agree it would be a nice gesture.

The problem I have with consensus "findings" as well as quite a few of "Scince says" media tidal waves is they are not reproduceable. Feelings have nothing to do with Scientific Method.
7 Steps of the Scientific Method
Step 7- Communicate. Present/share your results. Replicate.
Step 1- Question.
Step 2-Research.
Step 3-Hypothesis.
Step 4-Experiment.
Step 5-Observations.
Step 6-Results/Conclusion.
Hmmm interesting, just one night, hours extended at Epcot.
International flights are coming back slowly to MCO, mainly just SA now.
Orlando’s “largest international airline – Virgin Atlantic, along with Lufthansa, British Airways, and Aer Lingus among others are anxious to restart their MCO flight operations,” states the airport letter sent to the Department of Homeland Security.

Orlando’s airport was barely able to cling to its international status during the depths of the pandemic’s worldwide hit on air travel in the spring, but the region’s nonstop link…

Easy WDW has a nice rundown of how wait times have increased since the hours were reduced. Average waits were longer this weekend than they were Saturday & Sunday of Labor Day. Whatever Disney is doing with their hours and/or capacities certainly doesn't seem to be beneficial to guests at the moment. Low waits are the selling point right now. If those go away while so much remains closed, they're really hosing your guests.“Disney World has updated their website to reflect an extension of park hours for EPCOT and Disney’s Animal Kingdom on Saturday, September 26th.

I think it could be coming sooner than later. I’m sure Disney is pointing to the very successful re-opening in FL as exhibit A of evidence that they are capable of opening a theme park safely and with effective measures that guests will actually follow. That should go a long way towards convincing the government there it’s safe to open.

The Disney executives need to adjust their calculous of what is success. The old concept of Crowds = Success concept is now untenable. Now the thought process needs to adjust, for instance Enhanced Experiences = Happy Guests = Long Term Repeat Patronage = $. Opening say at 10 A.M. but not closing till 9 / 9:30 would provide a period of darkness for lighting visuals at each venue (spread it out) etc. I am sure the imaginEar's can be creative with visual effects through out the parks. In short, Do Something to make the experience special for the guests w/o a large price tag, extensive staffing and not create a "crowd" in one specific location.
Old news. They’ve been anxious - and still are - for months. Obviously.International flights are coming back slowly to MCO, mainly just SA now.

Re start dates continually keep being pushed back.
the 'new' news from the article is as of yesterday Orlando can resume taking direct flights from countries that were previously banned. Now it is still up to some countries to allow travel to US of course.
CDC is lifting this week the federal restrictions that had required flights from the more than two-dozen nations of Europe’s open-border Schengen Area, United Kingdom and Brazil to land at one of 15 “funnel” airports in the U.S, a group that did not include Orlando International Airport.

Fingers crossed. The next step is to remove quarantine regulations on returning. Until that happens the majority of travellers basically can’t.
True, outside of Brazil on that list it is up to the countries to allow travel.
Although as of two days ago the CDC ban isn’t lifted yet. I did get excited and just checked. You’ll forgive me for not reading the link but it’s not available in Europe.
ah yes, hard to keep up with it all to say the least
Believe me, I’d be ecstatic if unrestricted but safe travel started again.ah yes, hard to keep up with it all to say the least
Like next year?
