Given everything that’s going on, why would they add more park passes for October 1st?

I don't know, Maybe people have cancelled?

I highly doubt that. They've been in a pattern of upping attendance for months now. More ppl. they let in; more $$$ they get.

I'm sorry. I thought you asked a question. I see now it was a comment and not a question.

Not a huge fan of Pizzafari, but it will make my boys happy. It's nice to see more things opening.

That's just making sure that bluetooth & location are turned on to use the map and photopass features on the phone.

French themeparks see a 20 - 50% decline in visitors after introduction Health Pass
(Article is in French, couldn't find an English translation)

So, on July 21st France introduced a pass sanitaire, a health pass. You need this to get access to museums, themeparks etc. As of August restaurants and malls will be added to this list. You get the pass (via an app) when you are fully vaccinated, got cured from Covid or have a negative test not older than 48 hours.

In the first week of introduction all French themeparks, including Disney, saw a decline of 20-50% in visitors, with max 70%. While the announcement did get a lot of French people make their vaccine appoints, it also makes that people decide to wait till they have had their shots, or decide to wait till the measures are over.

There are no exact numbers for Disney, but what I did notice today. It's the height of summer holidays and at midday the longest queues were for Space & Big Thunder Mountain 45 minutes (no FP available).

That’s going to mess with Disney corporate’s ability to measure Premiere Access‘s effects when it is introduced next week…

Yeah, it's really not necessary if these wait times stay like this. I will leave tomorrow for DLP and will see for myself.
