wow...

With all the new Covid cases in the NFL, you’d think the league might prohibit any stadium from being at full capacity at risk of players and staff contracting and shutting the season down.

Just because DeSantis is encouraging bad behavior doesn't mean they are going to bite and be that dumb. They are already showing restraint all around the NFL, with most stadiums that have fans at 20%.

The WWE seems to think so. They want to move WrestleMania from CA to Tampa this spring, because Vince wants a full stadium.

I think Hillsborough county and the local government would put up a fight before they ever let that happen.

Why? They are going ahead with the superbowl covid or not.

Of course the Super Bowl is happening but I can guarantee the stadium will not be packed at 100% capacity.

$3K+ tickets and the local sports authority running the show? I am not optimistic this will be run with safety foremost in their minds.

And WrestleMania is worse, as the field is full of seats too.

Touring Plans covid era safety adjusted line wait times indicated long lines on attractions at USF yesterday (Thursday). With the holiday weekend starting, this
is probably going to be a very busy weekend, weather permitting.

 

[Disneyhead]

To be fair, the GO doesn't care. Same with wrestling. All wrestling is WWE to to Joey Bagadonuts. That's just the difference between being a nerd about something and not.

Hi! I'm Joey. :wave:

From Magic: WDW has increased operating hours for MK, AK & Epcot for most days in November. This reportedly comes due to recent increases in attendance.

 

[UNIrd]

8pm closures are a start. 7pm was the earliest I've ever left MK other than... um.. I guess 6am on a 24 hour day.

 

[Mad Dog]

Len Testa, in a column this morning on Touring Plans, said Friday lines at WDW, especially MK, were the longest they've been during the past month. He added that 'actual' line times were 70% of what WDW
'posted' line times were.................Sooooo, probably expect long lines, and fairly crowded conditions, at WDW this holiday weekend.

I guess enough guests have pushed against the mask requirements that Disney felt the need to draw the line:

“Modified” capacity..

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I guess enough guests have pushed against the mask requirements that Disney felt the need to draw the line:

"Noncompliance will result in tranquilization and release into the wild".

“Modified” capacity..

I think it's a fancy way of saying "they're at the lowered capacity now".

FYI heard about two weeks ago Disney quietly upped the capacity of their parks and are testing to see how guests react. This explains why queue wait times have spiked.

Odds they follow through?

 

[GAcoaster]

Odds they follow through?

I'd guess they needed this with the increasing numbers of guests challenging the rule since the video of the guy AND the governor basically saying everything is back to normal.

Apparently Disney made last minute changes to park hours this weekend. I have several CM friends complaining about sudden changes in shifts with earlier start times and later end times. MK hours got expanded 8 AM-8 PM today and tomorrow due to the crowds (I think they were 9-7 yesterday).
