Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) On Entertainment & Tourism Industry

[jtsalien]

I'm hearing from almost every CM I know that the 28th is the date for things re-starting with everyone going back to work that week. I'd have to assume there will be a couple of days of training and just getting things ready to go again (re-certs?). Since DVC is reopening on the 22nd that means there will already be guests on property before the parks and transportation are up and running.

Any talk about whether hours will be restricted similar to UO?

Are you saying that you went on a road trip to Texas recently? A joy ride?

No joy involved but colorado has very good compliance

A California gym reopens with bizarre-looking plastic workout pods to enable customers to exercise in groups and maintain social distancing

The new pods took about three days to build and are made out of shower curtains and PVC pipes. There are nine in total.

while living in Palm Beach, we never left the house. We finally had to make a trip (we found a pool w/ a house attached).

My first experience ordering quick food, well, it was 'funny' to see everyone speaking around the plexiglass barrier, oh, that was at a furniture store and I am talking about employees. Mattresses are hard to come by, delivery folks are working their tales off.

We saw many different things...places that wipe shopping carts for you to free for alls. I think we saw more folks wearing mask in Central FL than in WPB (save for mandatory indoor use down there).

I do not think folks can social distance in queues.

the way they did it for the gym looks funky, but if park restaurants did this they could open a lot more tables.

Who wants to be next in that bubble room after someone who is unknowingly asymptomatic and huffing and puffing with their workout? Such a thing would house contaminated air for hours. No thanks.

They would need to employ the sprayer to hose it down.

I'll stick with home workouts for the foreseeable future..

In an apparent 'gotcha get even shot' at Florida, Gov. Mario Cuomo today said he's considering a requirement that Florida visitors to New York quarantine for 14 days.

Idk if someone posted this... but it seems like universal is now waiting on Los Angeles to be in phase 3 of reopening until they reopen. They were planning on starting to get team members back in to have a little refresher and meeting and all that but that was canceled. So idk if a July reopening is possible at this point. I know that when you go a prolonged period of time of not working they require a retraining day, (they might even need to retest) due to this 3 month or so closure with no one working. Obviously just my thoughts and opinion. Lots of team members aren’t comfortable though based on those Orlando videos

Imagine what the 2020 TEA attendance report is going to look like when it comes out in June 2021. :faint:

Probably flawed as always.

Probably flawed as always.

I was thinking the same.....by the way.....aren't they due with their 'probably flawed' 2019 numbers?...Must be nice to get paid when your work is half made up and half assumptions.......heh, just like weathermen and pandemic experts.
