It was one day. You will still have 6 plus mos of data to make your decision.This is all good to hear. Were rules being enforced for people breaking them? This is my biggest concern as I consider whether to cancel what I already have planned for February (a hotel and flights). Also I am sorry if I'm coming off as trying to cause drama. I was beginning to plan a trip for the first time in my adult life earlier this year, so you can imagine that I'm trying to be cautious and may not know as much as frequet people on this board... I came here to try to get information about Disney.
If 95% of the US could follow the mask and social distancing rules that Disney put in place yesterday, we’d be in a much better place as a countryyou are 100% correct it did happen - if it was for 10 min or 1 second it did happen. I will say though that yesterday was CMs and their guests (up to 3 guests per CM, I believe) so good chance the majority of people in that photo don't work for Disney and everyone appears to have a mask on
And even if they were CMs they are also human and emotions, slips ups are going to happen. If the benchmark is that 100% of the rules are followed 100% of the time then it just won't be met and Disney shouldn't reopen (nor should anything else).
But from what I saw from watching many, many sources yesterday the rules were being followed and enforce like 95% of the time - is that perfect? No, but pretty darn good and with the low capacity if an individual wants to follow the rules 100% of the time they will be able to. If you aren't comfortable with that, then you shouldn't go - which especially given the numbers for Florida is more than a reasoable take. If one does go I truly hope they follow the rules, are kind to the CMs and other guests, and do their best to self quarantine when they return home.
I don’t think ppl are trying to convince anyone to go but rather say saying don’t judge anyone else going based on one pic. I think the biggest point is we get it, some ppl think wdw shouldn’t open &/or they won’t go. That’s great, but leave the rest of us alone & stop searching for the “I told ya so” pics.If someone decides not to go on their trip because they are not comfortable with what they are seeing, why are people trying to convince them to still go? These things WILL happen. Human nature and unavoidable. If it happened during the CM preview, it will surely happen when the general public is there.
I do think this was an isolated incident yesterday after a storm. But things like this could happen (it storms a lot ...) and if someone is uncomfortable with that, they should not go.
What happened to “if you’re not comfortable, don’t go?” Now people are trying to convince someone who says they’re not comfortable going because of something they saw that they should be.
What bugs me the most about this article is the numbers on park capacity within no mention of how reduced that capacity will be right now. So, to the uninformed reader, it looks like wdw might be welcoming back 93 million on Saturday.

I agree, but when you comment on the picture, you will get backlash for being negative. How is Disney going to enforce anything if they can't even get there own employees to abide.But the picture happened. Disney didnt plan for that (which is ok), but the people who are supposed to be enforcing those rules when they return to work dont seem to care enough to follow themselves. Thats the bigger problem.
Now imagine the general population where many people still believe this isnt a problem...how do you think theybwill react, especially knowing theyve paid $100 plus a day to attend.
One bad apple isnt gonna ruin it, but common sense would tell us this is going to be an issue if the cast members cant even do it.
If I were you, I would closely watch any Disney World videos on YouTube to help you make an informed opinion. Only you know the level of exposure you are willing to risk. Just keep an eye on it until your trip gets closer.This is all good to hear. Were rules being enforced for people breaking them?

yes, we have a great example with our own DisUnplugged team. They went to AP previews for Universal and felt it was way to crowded and even said so, then they went after and praised how low capacity was and how well everything was being runIf I were you, I would closely watch any Disney World videos on YouTube to help you make an informed opinion.

Near the beginning of the articleof course. But that's not as fun of a story, and generate clicks
I’m sorry to see how much the negative press is getting to you. All I can say is it is a good window into how the world of social media can so easily distort. You were there and had a positive experience, right? Today it doesn’t really matter what the reality is. Everybody has access to a bully pulpit and can pretty much say whatever they want, almost unchecked. And then you have people who just lap up whatever they see and build on it. Like what I was saying yesterday regarding virus numbers, sometimes it feels like we all live in different realities. Scary.The privilege to have expert and first hand knowledge on a subject like something as trivial as Disney Park Ops has helped make it abundantly clear and depressing to me how hypocritical and judgemental the world is. I try to keep an open mind on everything and realize that ultimately I know nothing. But the court of public opinion is loud an vicious. I don’t necessarily care how wrong people outside of this message board are about their Disney opinions. But seeing people with no idea what they are talking about rip us to shreds makes me want to take a step back from my other opinions.
As a fellow Floridian I agree 100%As a Floridian I am extremely concerned about the virus whether it spikes or not. It’s invisible and it’s everywhere. I do feel that the theme parks are pretty safe compared to other businesses. It’s all about personal responsibility. Follow the CDC guidelines and make YOUR decision on what you feel comfortable doing. As others have stated it’s pretty easy to avoid a bottleneck in a crowded attraction. Just walk away. At least it’s outside. I don’t judge anyone on their decision to do what’s right for themselves. I just saw on tv we may be wearing masks for years even with a vaccine hopefully by year end. It’s about adapting to the circumstances. Some are doing well with it and others are not. Cast previews are being done to be able to identify areas of concern that come up and rectifying them. Side note: cast members are being given the choice if they want a face shield even in areas where they’re not required. Disney takes the safety of cast and guests very seriously. This is sadly our new normal for the foreseeable future.
