I bet you could find a way to stay in your room for a few months for a couple million dollars or 38.3 million like LeBron gets. $$$$$$$
Exactly. This is what I have been thinking too. There is no way that they are completely changing how guests access the parks and book dining and experiences if they were not planning to make this a long-term change. They are not doing this just to get WDW reopened. They already had some ideas in place and are probably using this as an opportunity to get that implemented.
Maybe. But what about the lower-paid equipment managers, trainers, etc? Each team will be bringing a few of these ancillary staff members, presumably with their families at least as an option. It's not all about the athletes and the owners in the bubble. Plus, media is in some way affected here, as well. So that gets in to the behind the scenes technical operators of cameras, lights, rigging, etc. Their families deserve some way to let off steam and not just be confined to a room or the WWoS facility. That's why it wouldn't chap me so hard to see teams get "special treatment" tours or whatever as they are eliminated from competition. There are many who we will never hear about brought into the bubble. Not everyone is LeBron or Giannis.
I’m still over here waiting for them to let me book for the 50th.
I did watch the videos, and I did not say anything negative about the CPs-- but you also need to understand that there are cast members that remember me from when I was 8, and who I visit when I fly down. If Disney COULD save the money, they would, at the expense of these cast members. The union is what is protecting their positions. Unfortunately, union seniority is why the CPs won't be back for a while.
It's difficult to be agile if you are a large company. You have to gather data and then convince other leaders that your proposal for change is the one that is going to solve x or y problem and that it is worth allocating x resources to making it happen. I'm sure it took a bit of time just to make that decision.
Agreed. We aren't typically a "hopping" family, but even when the ability to do so is brought back (it is a big money maker, so I'm sure it will return in some fashion), I can see them requiring guests to reserve the hopping in some form or fashion. Like a morning safari AK experience followed by the common afternoon break, then dinner and drink tour around WS. Or a SW:GE morning facilitated by "Genie," a quick swim in the heat of the afternoon, and HEA to end the night. But they'll want to know when you'll be in each park, and for roughly how long. Enter when you wish in certain hours, but not before your "window" for the second park begins.
I'm sorry they dropped the ball on calling you. I wrote to them about my disappointments and they called me within 48 hours to discuss it. I was surprised as a previous time I emailed them they just sent me a canned response.
An announced "experience facilitator" during D23, which many have rumored to be part of the paid FP system. A way to get your day planned with "wishes" granted along the way. I'm sure some will cost a diamond in the rough, but that's in another thread ...
True even so NY is at 700 cases yesterday. Florida at 1100. It turned around so fast in terms of new cases. If you are going to stop NYers from coming you’ll have to start quarantining other states. Many many states are doubling their usual number daily since reopening. I’m sure once these protest numbers hit we will see even bigger spikes. A protestor who didn’t wear a mask just came down with corona after being at protests all last week. If we are going to be out doing things at least wear a mask so we don’t have to restart all the good we just did for 3 months.
Touring Plans but instead of improving your vacation it sends you to things that make Disney more money.
