Goodness... it looks like we need some new park updates again
That’s a fact. They do. I’m not guilting people into going though. Everyone can and will do what they want. WDW employs over 75,000 people.You will of course deny and object, but this post of yours to paraphrase it sure sounded like you were suggesting that Florida people's jobs depends on people going so if people are willing to risk going out for groceries then they should go to theme parks as well. That's how it read to me considering you posted it in response to lack of demand right now.
They were not because they weren’t required by the government to be shared publicly.
So why even mention number of employees when talking about demand? Two different subjects.That’s a fact. They do. I’m not guilting people into going though. Everyone can and will do what they want. WDW employs over 75,000 people.
I am not trying to be harsh but if you aren’t willing to trust them and take them at their word that they are operating at a reduced capacity that they deemed safe then maybe you need to just not go. They are never going to provide the kind of info you are asking for no matter how much we go back and forth about it here.
You responded talking about jobs.So why even mention number of employees when talking about demand? Two different subjects.
I bet Disney wishes they were in that position. They aren’t because demand isn’t there. There is no reason for them to fudge or ignore capacity numbers.Fudging/ignoring capacity)

This whole thread is about theme park operations on a Disney forum with mega Disney fans? What exactly do you expect? This is bordering on trolling at this point.I know. Step out of this thread and opinions are very different elsewhere.
I meant to look back at some live streaming earlier as I was wondering if many kids were in the park. If there isn't it would back up the opinion that its mainly vloggers/CMs and local APs in the parks to me rather than families on vacation.
Examples? As @CastAStone pointed out MK was a 2 out of 10 from Touring Plans. That certainly isn’t high demand.This weekend seems to bear otherwise, as far as demand goes.
I think it's just that they have opened more spots for CM's and AP holders. I bet if you look at spots for resort guests its not close to full.This weekend seems to bear otherwise, as far as demand goes.
No I didn't. The original post I replied to was about risk of doing things.You responded talking about jobs.
The parks are open and there is no evidence of them re-closing soon. Should they be open? Who knows. Do CMs need work? Yes. Is attendance and demand good? No. What more are you looking for exactly?

Again, what are you looking for? What do you want me to say?No I didn't. The original post I replied to was about risk of doing things.
I then quoted your post where for some reason you felt the need to mention how Floridas tourist industry is impacted by lack of demand from people not wanting to go.
There were definitely kids last week. Stroller parking was relatively empty, but idk if it just matched the lower park attendance. Obv hard to know if the kids in the parks are local, but for what it's worth, we did see kids at CBR (presumably mostly non-local?).I know.

I must’ve missed that then.I'm referring to Epcot specifically, as there were a few reports who knows how many pages ago from posters that Epcot seemed crowded. One said it seemed like a normal FW Festival Saturday.
Also, I watched a Michael Kay video where Epcot looked busy, and that wasn't even from this weekend, so if this weekend was busier than that video...then it was probably pretty busy.
It’s a Saturday in the summer. Locals are there and some can only get Epcot as their park for a weekend day. School in Orange County starts tomorrow, so this was a last hurrah weekend for a lot of people. But again I ask, what does the actual number matter? If you knew the cap number for each park would that make you feel better? Would you know how close to that cap the parks are on any given day? It wouldn’t make any difference. You’d still have to trust Disney that they were abiding by the cap even if you had that magical number.I'm referring to Epcot specifically, as there were a few reports who knows how many pages ago from posters that Epcot seemed crowded.

Bordering? You have way more patience than i do.This whole thread is about theme park operations on a Disney forum with mega Disney fans? What exactly do you expect? This is bordering on trolling at this point.

I don't understand how people that have not come at all are so convinced they have a better understanding of the current situation
