It’s pretty small in there. Might actually be nice with limited capacity to have room to move around.

That's a great perk for cast members. I'm sure relatives and friends are going to ask the cast to buy merch for them.

Awesome! I was able to get a reservation, hopefully they will be able to serve alcohol by the 17th!

Problem is, a lot of people will use their time inside the gondola to take a break from wearing the masks. At least in buses there is some self policing from fellow travelers.

Assuming those vents are open on the gondolas, the air will be moving plenty to not be too much of an issue.

And to think last year we were only worried about baking alive.

Having an extended downtime could be a different matter.

I would like to go back to that time in a heartbeat.

Theres been some clips of places using what is essentially a leaf blower with a canister of vapourized disinfectant attached to rapidly clean areas. I'd imagine (hope) something along those lines would be used as it wouldn't really affect operation, you just blast a car when people get off, leave that one empty, load the next one and then do the opposite at the next station to give it time to clear the fog.

I wouldn't count on Disney implementing this. My guess is Disney won't be cleaning the buses after every run, nor the monorails and they'll be carrying more people per unit than the skyliner cabins.

The most we'll see is nightly cleaning of the cabins and hand sanitizer stations in the queue.

Why can’t they do the temperature check along with the security check? You now have to wait in 3 lines to get into the physical park.

It’s also quite concerning how few lanes they have available for temperature screening...

The onus is very much on the guest to a) be clean b) not have the virus c) keep their hands to themselves as much as possible and d) look after their own hygiene.

I cannot say that fills me with confidence.

Just curious, are you and Bio the same person? You seem to post these tweets within seconds of them showing up on Twitter.

Universal has like 4 total temp lanes, for both parks combined. I can’t speak to how it is at rope drop but early afternoon arrivals haven’t been an issue.

Do they have them separated from the security check as well?

Yeah it’s right before the right turn leading into security from the garage. They’re only operating the “left” garage as far as I can tell. I’ve walked right up to them every single time, it’s basically been a non issue.

That’s good. Maybe it’s enough then.

I wonder if all of the screening is at the parks? Meaning you can ride busses and monorails with a fever but you can’t enter a park?

I think universal is doing checks at resorts but I can’t recall if WDW said if they’ll be doing the same.
