With Disney reopening I was wondering if

[kairos12]

the Main Street characters would have a fuzzy spiked ball addition to welcome future patients? The human handler would not be wearing a mask.

1. The Main Street characters may get some form of

protection with the head gear they wear (Mickey, Goofy etc)

It’s the folks who will be going there droves without a mask that will cause the most damage.

We are a nation of “instant gratification and fuck you if you don’t like it”.

2. This is a very dumb thing for that company to do...So DUMB IS DUMB!!!!!

10. What do you expect

from a Mickey Mouse outfit??

11. Oh good lord! ROFL ROFL

12. There's a reason

that the term has become a pejorative, right?

I figured that its original roots were based on the cheap quality of the toy watches for children.

14. Now, you went and made me look it up

and I found this:

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/335784/why-does-mickey-mouse-operation-refer-to-a-poorly-run-company#:~:text=The%20overly%20simplistic%20mindset%20exhibited,company%20or%20organization%20is%20run.

Apparently, it had to do with the way Mickey Mouse was depicted in the cartoons, how he reacted to ridiculous situations and impending disasters.

Hmm, seems to fit here...

[NurseJackie]

15. I feel smarter already...

16. I'm reminded

of a joke I heard in 1976:

A billionaire is growing frail, and he wants to start giving his two sons his estate. One son is of normal intelligence, while another one is, let's say, challenged. (Let's call them Don, Jr, and Eric)

So, the rich man says to Don, Jr., "What would you like?" Don, Jr. says, "I'd like to have my own private airplane, please," then the rich man says to his chief of staff, "Buy my son a Boeing 747."

Turning to Eric, he asks the same question, Eric says, "I wanna Mickey Mouse outfit!". The rich man says to the chief of staff, "Buy my son [fill in the blank with whatever company you feel like disparaging]"

When I first heard it, it was the name of the place we were working, and it was in response to my saying, "But why would management do that?!"

17. Why? Seriously. Think about it.

Largely outdoors
Everyone wearing a mask
LOTS of physical distancing
Greatly reduced admission
Hand sanitizer/washing stations everywhere
Spacing on ride vehicles and restaurant seating

The videos from the previews this week and today’s opening to the public show a vastly empty park. It’s more crowded in Target or Publix. Yes, attendance will slowly increase until it hits 30-40% capacity over months but the increases will be based on adherence by guests to safety protocols.

I know several people that went this week including a friend of ours who we think actually had Covid back in Jan. returned from a trip to London in Jan. She wasn’t feeling well over there and ended up in the hospital here for three weeks. 100% healthy. A runner. Hit her hard. Still has some reduced capacity in one lung. She said she felt safer there due to distancing and cleaning and masks than local retail stores.

3. I originally thought the same thing,

but I'm not so sure now.
Disney is doing a lot to be safe, whether it works or not is yet to be seen.

First off you need an invitation to be let in which means there are much fewer people there. People must wear masks. People on rides are spaced out. Food areas are spaced out. There are plenty of hand sanitizer areas.

It looks to me like Disney is trying to stay safe, but still, IMO, the main reason that Disney may do OK is because there are a lot fewer people there and a lot of space is out in the open.

The jury is still out for me, it does seem scary to open back up in the state which is the epicenter of the virus.

4. The worst of the exposure might be outside the park itself.

People come to Disney from all over the country. They stay in hotels and motels, eat in restaurants, visit other places, and generally mingle. And eventually they go back home, maybe taking the virus with them. Disney might be doing everything it can to stay safe, but thousands of people traveling to and from Florida doesn't seem to be a very good thing, IMO.

9. Yes especially since its so hot in Florida this time of year

Everyone will want to be indoors for air conditioning rather than on a patio.

Thats what concerns me is all the people flocking indoors to escape the heat.

[Roland99]

18. That's a valid point. But hotel occupancy is WAY down and restaurants here space tables

And in the tourist areas, the restaurants are really empty right now

At lunch, it was mostly us workers or other nearby workers (orange lake resort). Dinners were more filled with tourists. There’s very little residential east/west/south of property. Mostly commercial. So the restaurants in that area have really been suffering.

North side (back of magic kingdom and up) has really filled in with housing since I moved in 2010 but most don’t go to restaurants around Disney...further drive than what’s available closer.

Sooo, the restaurants in the Disney area would still be seeing reduced business, too.

19. Well said..could be in the parking lot, hotels, motels, restaurants, etc..

...Even walking across a street could be bad if someone coughs in your area, & you do not have protection.
I don't think that everything will be done to ..."stay safe" by Disney parks...What about people lining up to get in?...Lining up to get some food? Or get on a ride?..I have been there, and it is a crowd. If you have been there, then answer this please. Is it a crowd or is it not a crowd?

When you wait in line...do people mingle? Are people close to each other waiting in line?...Yes or No?

21. There are distance markers EVERYWHERE

And cast to enforce the distancing

In the parking lot, cars are parked with a space in between

Queues have distancing markers and when a line goes out past an entrance, guests have been spacing themselves

During the cast preview earlier in the week, splash mountain showed 30 min wait but the queue extended all the way back out the entrance and on toward a nearby restaurant. Under a normal crowd, a line that long would be 150-180 minutes long

6. The AC is the problem and it's Summer in Florida

What could possibly go wrong?

[Stuart G]

20. Outstanding Point.....repeat....."What could possibly go wrong?"
