What's the D23 Epcot Announcement that will affect call centers?

[Gringrinngghost]

My understanding it's not relating that is planned to anything that features an overhaul. With the rumors that they're going to announce something at D23 for Epcot you can safely assume that there's more than enough leeway over a year before work actually begins (If we look at the timetable for Hollywood studios and how that progressed). It's interesting at this juncture that it's not regarding any possible overhaul/

Haven't read the whole thread, but what about an all you can eat pass for F&W? Like, pay $X and get a wrist band entitling you to eat as much as you want for a day (or multiple days).

Too much risk of exploitation on this. When you see large groups of people at F&W, one person buys the pass for the group. It's not a table where a server can watch over and make sure that food isn't being shared. Even if every other person in the group bought it, still too much risk of it being abused.

I would think Michelle Obama would be more likely than Barack Obama. Either one would result in substantial bookings.

I think they choose less divisive celebrities. Have politicians ever been chosen for the show? The ACLU might have a problem with that.

Is it at all related to Eat to the Beat and dining packages?

Call centers being outsourced to one the offshore providers...

 

[trainplane3]

Interesting.

Let me add that it's been like that for nearly a month. That leads me to believe it's just Snapchat doing its' own thing and not some confirmation of a name change.

They'd have a 90 day period for the replacements to look over their shoulder and record it with a video camera though...

I'm truly hoping you're just being sarcastic.

So am I, Believe me, But why would Disney take call centers offline without some BIG internal change, You don't know how I hope I'm wrong here.

I'm told that CMs working the call centers are being pulled off, 100 at a time, to be told about an upcoming Epcot announcement at D23.

With a than quantity of people in the know, I'm amazed nothing has surfaced yet.

Offshore inside World Showcase?

 

[Kamikaze]

I sure hope so. Otherwise the W&D race routes are going to be interesting in November. We'll just run up and down World Way for 13.1 miles.....

That would go well with the 13.1 I did around CBR's lake to make up for the cancelled HM in Jan.

India is being added to WS - JUST KIDDING, Although I think India would be an awesome addition as a WS pavillion especially with the music and culture of India's different regions which are just as diverse as the US.

If there is something like this, it's not effecting the the onsite call center. My gals there have nothing on an an Epcot specific D23 thing. They are prepping for all the standard things they get called for anytime there are announcements, but nothing pointing toward Epcot.

This might be different for the DRCs as they get different alerts and whatnot.

It's probably not an attraction, because those take years to build, and people wouldn't be calling in now about it.

My guess is that it's some short-term promotion tied to the park. Anyone have more details?

Of course there is always something that we've been talking about already, that may possibly have the highest demand we've ever seen when reservations open.

 

[Horizons '83]

Club 33 seems like the most likely candidate here.

It would be as if millions of voices suddenly called out in terror...
