Did the survey. Won't divulge much just to play it safe, but it was interesting.
Apropos of nothing -- is there really a 15-minute test COVID test that could be administered by laymen out there? For that matter, is there an easy way to check different make and model cell phones' GPS data in a reasonable time frame (say < 1 minute)?

Sweet Tomatoes (Souplantation in other parts of the country) permanently shutting down. Tangentially related to theme parks as it had three well-regarded outlets around Mouse Town.
But ... discussing with an in-the-industry friend, he said this is just the start of it. Expect buffets to be pulled from the parks/resorts as well.

Do you blame them? They know you're not coming as long as the "Liquid Death (great phrase, by the way
)is alive and kicking). ....by the way, analysts on CNBC are comparing the present stock market to the movie "Back to the Future"..... Bring back the IP, Universal !!!

I can't imagine wanting to visit the parks if half of the precautions they mentioned in the survey are implemented.
Horrible for the employees, and I know a few people who loves those places.
when it comes to the parks, I can’t be all that said if buffets go away. But I will miss the toppings bar at Pecos Bill’s

The two things I was pushing for is safety and rewarding APs
Especially if people aren't showing up that's the time to make APs happy and get them to spread the word about how fun the parks still are (if true) and how safe and easy it all is.
Though if they do some of the things they were asking no thanks im out until Nintendoland opens.
Similar. I pushed for rewarding AP's, AND rewarding past frequent on site hotel guests with sweetheart deals. :grin:
I love twitter after a uni survey goes out...
It is an interesting survey, would love to see the collated data as it would be such an interesting insight

My survey was geared specifically to Universal Hollywood (no confidentiality warning). Spent a lot of time establishing your knowledge of COVID (and where you learned it) and how it spreads/what its symptoms are. Then spent a lot of time wondering about my perception of brands handling the crisis.
THEN it got to the good stuff. Pitched all of the usual suspects of mitigation. My hypothetical scenario was sort of an obvious dud.

I couldn't check a box to choose any of the scenarios they offered me. Wrong combo every time.
