Florida and WDW are getting hammered in the headlines IMO. And I know it’s a lot of clickbait but it’s got to be hard on Disney PR.

The Disney commercial being dubbed to horror music on Twitter didn’t help.

Florida released their numbers today and the headline is Florida has more new cases today than ALL of Europe combined. Wow. That makes the optics hard to work with for the governor.

Honestly, the only places I’ve really seen consistent positivity IRT Disney’s opening are Disney focused boards and groups. They (and Florida too) are getting absolutely torn apart on any discussion online I’ve seen that is not Disney focused.

Where is the line drawn for the Disney focus group? What is the metric that makes the enthusiasts think having the parks open is not good idea? Is there one?

So sad they don’t report over 112,000 test results were received and that the positivity rate is now 11.51%. Second day in a row in the 11% range. Also, Orange County testing site is seeing less traffic. One out of 9 Floridians have been tested. Pretty impressive with over 22 million Floridians. This is still very serious. I just wish the media would present ALL the facts instead of spinning it to their agenda.
 
I don't understand why we are still debating if the parks should be open. They are. Why keep rehashing the same thing over and over at this point.
Why not do it in the thread on the Community Board that already discusses that and this thread.

Then we can let this thread be about the operating aspects and the changes that are happening (or not happening). All the things people currently in the parks have been reporting on the past few days has been excellent!

If Disney feels they should close, they will. Nothing we can do about it. :confused3
 
At backlot Express rn. Empty in here, same procedure, you mobile order outside and when food is ready you can go in
Only problem spot was rotr, today you can see why this ride is not ready for standby, people also crowding at the entrance, once people got in the queue they seemed to adhere to the markers
Im waiting to do rise on Wednesday
Walked on mmrr, sdd as2 and mfsr

@pepperandchips Did they send you a replacement card with new expiration date printed on it? Or do restaurant CM’s just know to add the closure days on?
I can’t see them sending out all new cards for TIW members with the new expirations dates. It’s just like the AP cards aren’t going to have the new expirations dates. Besides, TIW cards have to be run through the computer system like a credit card anyway, so as long as it’s updated on the IT side it’s fine.

I haven't been able to figure that out either. I'm an infrequent visitor to this thread, but even so I see the same handful of posters stating again and again why they aren't going to Disney. Hey, I'm not going either, but I'm content to sit quietly on the sidelines and read the reports.
 
WDW Couple is on RoTR right now, and it already looks a lot better than that tweet showed (parts of the pre-show were modified
it appears they entered the Star Destroyer from the same door they entered
. Looks like Disney is adapting pretty quickly and has found a better way to slow down the flow of people into the parts of the ride where social distancing is harder (and they are doing a great job in the part right before you enter the main "ride vehicle", and the CMs are enforcing social distancing in character a little too). Also they said that Disney is shutting down access to queues if the lines hit a certain point (this is why MDE has been showing RoTR and MMRR as "closed" for various parts of the day). For both of them once they hit 60 minute waits, they start shutting things down.

ETA the CMs ordered riders to sanitize their hands before entering the last pre-show room before the actual ride, that's pretty fun.
