    Paid FP options coming soon to WDW?

    There's also the point that when ~70% of capacity goes to FP+, how much does one care about the 30% of capacity in standby that sees increases in waits? I totally feel for anyone so helpless that they spend their day (after arriving at 11a) solely in standby, and wish they had planned better...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    In the back of my mind for some time I have thought that shifting to the WHO physical distancing recommendation of one meter (~39 inches, rather than the 72" of US 6 foot policy) would be a nice middle ground for keeping up social distancing if/after numbers and vaccines rates improve. Disney...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    I agree with your substantive point, but it's unfair to put Rteetz in the position of having to figure out what is fake and what is not...it's also unfair to expect him to be able to delete every "possibly fake" post--as he notes, he has a life, too.

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Social distancing per WHO, and practiced in China: One meter (~39 inches. In Germany: 1.5 meters (~5 feet). In many other countries: 2 meters (~6.5 feet). In other words, like much else related to C19, what look like hard and fast rules are actually judgments, and subject to change.

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Full, themed carpets. CB was one of the last resorts to get its refurb before Disney moved away from carpets.

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    They were updated, but within the pirate theme. As PP noted, they don't offer the third fold-down sleeping spot, and still have full beds--I'd guess because building new "pirate ship" bed surrounds at the queen size was too expensive.

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    I don't control where my staff go on their vacations. But I request that they let me know their plans ahead of time, and insist that they tell me where they go. I let them know that if they choose to go what we define as a hot spot (even if it only becomes a hot spot after their arrival there)...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Something else that's distinct for FW is that like in the one bedroom and larger DVC spaces, the Cabins have their own kitchens, and RV campers do as well. This limits demands on TS and QS dining...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    In other words, you don't have a source. If you do the work you suggest, but do it well, you will find on the order or 10,428 value rooms, ~6,507 mods excluding the cabins (most get this wrong by forgetting the changes at CB and CSR, I still have not found a source I trust on the net change...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Source? You can figure out from p 51 of the last 10-Q that Disney had about 26,700 rooms available per night in total at WDW AND DLR. Using 25k for WDW, at 85% capacity utilization, and 80% in the parks in a day, and 3 people per occupied room, you get about 50k people per day in the parks from...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Given the checkered ownership history of the Universal parks, there's possibility of Comcast simply selling off its parks that does not analogize to Disney. This makes improving cash flow a more central issue for the Universal execs.

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    When prices get subsidized by a third party, the first party (i.e. Disney) tends to raise them so that the list-price-minus-subsidy net cash cost is the same as what the second party (that is, you...) have already shown they will bear. You can see this in e.g. the last 30 years of college price...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    One reason you see otherwise inexplicable distinctions is that it is legally much easier to group relatable things and for public health reasons set orders for them as a group. This eliminates many of the due process arguments that could be used if similar institutions were treated differently...
