I really don’t see this as a Disney fail, but applaud them for taking the high road and not just rushing back in just to grab some cash.
Disney is not just “waiting” to open they are spending the time creating and vetting new policies and procedures. That takes time considering how large they are and they are doing it in an ever changing landscape.
Let’s take BTMRR for example:
1. How do you separate people by 6 feet in the queue and how do you restructure the queue so you are not coming face to face as the queue doubles back?
2. How do you enforce the 6 foot rule?
3. How do you sanitize the things people can touch in the queue.
4. Now that we have finally made it thru the queue to the trains, which seats do we allow to be occupied to keep the social distancing? What about family groups larger than 2?
5. As starbee asked, how do you know which face masks can survive the ride and which end up with the hats
and glasses 
we were warned about? Now, I think you just keep putting cast members on the ride with different masks to see what happens, dang, a tough job that many of us would probably be happy to help them out with. 
6. But whoa there pardner, a mask flew off in mid-ride, what is the collection protocol? Is it considered hazardous/toxic waste? I say at this point, yes. And does it immediately need to be returned to owner, otherwise they now have no face covering. Or do we collect at the end of a shift/day?
7. Ride is over and guests have exited the train, now how do we sanitize the ride vehicle for the next guests?Shew! And that is just what I can think of. But this kind of thinking/preparation has to extend from when a guest enters property at the main gate to when they leave property. If they don’t Disney takes the chance of harming a cast member or guest opening themselves up for law suits.
My two cents worth.
i know they haven’t seen this before but Universal is beating them out of the gate to open and from what i’ve seen/read isn’t messing with people’s reservations.
Although I’m curious to know how Universal and Disney are expecting people to wear face masks on rides. Those are going to go flying everywhere if people try to wear them and if they take them off that defeats the point because now you’ve made it all germy by constantly taking it on and off, or in Universal’s case by putting it in a locker hundreds of other people have also used.
this reminds me i saw an article somewhere where they said “screaming is no longer allowed on rides like space mountain”. that might have been in the Shanghai DisneyLand but regardless it made me laugh!It’s maddening!! I cannot make a comment without causing waves so I’ll keep my comments to myself… but with all that Disney is “trying” to do, it should just stay closed till we can get back to ‘normal”… and not this “new normal”
@85glht I can’t seem to find the comment you’re referring to but please continue to post what you’d like and say how you feel you have not been out of line and everyone here is free to share their opinions and how they feel. If people disagree, they disagree. I don’t want anyone to feel like they are not welcome to share or be here because of a differing opinion. Now of course if things get inappropriate, the mods will step in, but we’re not there yet. @jamiedawn27 I agree, I think this whole thing has been a little mangled by Disney. And you’re right, it’s the flip-flopping that makes it so frustrating. I know it’s an impossible situation, but that doesn’t mean they have to announce something only to go back on it completely a week later and announce something different! And the way they’ve handled DVC points just infuriates me. Right now, we’re going to lose 122 points from this year unless I can figure out a way to use them, which doesn’t seem likely at this point. That’s like a week and a half’s stay worth of points in some cases!! And the whole thing about limiting the number of park day reservations AP holders can make…I mean, really? It’s beyond aggravating.
@laprana Yeah that’s what I think! If they don’t know, I get it, but wait until you DO know before making announcements! I don’t think I understand how they’re handling DVC points. We used 2020’s points last year so I briefly glossed over the email I got but didn’t really take note. What’s causing you to lose your points? That would kill me
@Disneydana i’m with you girl…i know it takes a lot of money to run the parks but the park tickets are over $100/day right now. For my family of 5 it is over $500 for a day and that doesn’t include travel, hotel, food, park hopper, etc. The new stuff (Pandora and I’m sure Star Wars Land) is amazing but the old stuff is not being taken care of…rides are in disrepair (CoP his head fell forward, CBJ sound quality is so bad you can’t understand it, lots of rides like Figment and Speedway have been neglected), random things are open or not open based on time of year, and now with the new boarding group you could go all day and spend all that money and not even get on the rides you want.
@laprana i heard that the DVC folks were getting the short end of the stick. nothing like “use your points by the end of the year but the reservation system is down and if you come we probably will only let you go to the park for a day or two”. sounds like a potential lawsuit to medon’t get me wrong peeps i LOVE Disney. i love Marvel and Star Wars and my closet is full of Disney shirts. But yesterday I pulled out a shirt that was NOT Disney on purpose. i’m tired of it.
