In this episode, we do another this or that all about Disney Parks. Paige comes to the realization that she could have been a Disney Princess and Stephen can't remember the word Poutine. Would you rather get a VIP experience in a park or at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank? Would you rather work at a churro stand or gate entrance? Would you rather play a costume character or a face character? Which is better in EPCOT? Germany or Canada? Would you rather get a free Disney cruise or a free week at the resort of your choice? but you cannot go to the parks? Would you rather work Test Track or Soarin'? Get stuck on It's a Small World for thirty minutes with the song on loop? Or get stuck on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for twenty minutes during the hell scene? Would you rather only be able to eat breakfast or eat dinner at the parks? Would you rather get 5 new pair of ears or 2 new lounge fly bags Would you rather go to Disneyland Opening Day in 1955 or DISNEY WORLD opening day in 1971.

In this episode Stephen quizzes Paige on Animal Kingdom: This or That style. We discuss what kind of lands we would add, which ride we'd get rid of, and more. Folks, this was a fun one. However, there's less laughter than our last This or That episode.

This experience was a real adventure. It took Stephen 72 hours to recover the corrupted audio files. Anyway, in this episode we discuss This or That options in Disneyland Resort. Stephen will still choose Star Wars over all else and Paige literally cannot keep it together during this recording. If you like a lot of laughing this one is for you. Schadenfreude, anyone?

Since we last recorded, there were rumors of guidelines being released to allow the parks, and other amusement parks throughout the state to open, then they were postponed, then Bob Iger left the task force that was working on the guidelines, then more and more Anaheim area organizations are pressuring the state and Governor Gavin Newson to allow the parks to open. The guidelines that were rumored to be suggested were that “individual theme parks can reopen only once their county reaches the least-restrictive “minimal” risk level, they must operate at 25% of attendance capacity, and limit visitors to residents living within a 120-mile radius of each theme park.” The biggest issue with this was that to get to the minimal risk level would basically mean waiting until the pandemic was over. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/10/02/news-early-details-of-californias-theme-park-reopening-guidelines-revealed/ and https://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2020/10/01/california-attractions-and-parks-association-asks-state-not-to-finalize-reopening-guidelines-until-modifications-are-made/ and https://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2020/10/01/bob-iger-leaves-gavin-newsom-economic-recovery-advisory-group/ and https://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2020/10/02/california-officials-to-work-with-theme-park-operators-before-issuing-reopening-guidelines/ Guests can now step inside the gates of Disney California Adventure to shop, but it isn’t what it sounds like. Stage 17, which has been home to Who Wants to be a Millionaire: Play It! and recently a Frozen themed area for the holidays, will be open and used as a retail space to help with guest demand for Halloween merchandise. Even though this building is inside DCA, guests will enter through a backstage entrance to the left of the entrance to DCA and head right into the space. The building will house 10,000 square feet of retail space. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/10/fall-is-filled-with-halloween-merchandise-collections-featuring-new-disneyland-resort-backlot-premiere-shop-coming-soon-to-stage-17-in-downtown-disney-district/ and https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/10/05/news-disneyland-resort-will-open-a-backlot-premiere-shop-in-downtown-disney/ With the amount of guests that have been arriving at Downtown Disney for an escape from reality and their piece of Disney Magic, the security checkpoints have been slow going. Waits of 90 minutes or more just to pass throught the security checkpoints have been reported on the weekends. The resort is testing new contactless metal detectors at the screening areas that hope to speed things up a bit. The system allows guests to walk through the new detectors without the need to remove items from their pockets, open their backpacks, or place anything in a bin. The new scanners can process 10 times more guests, up to 3,600 per hour. The system also uses artificial intelligence to detect weapons on guests as they pass through. – https://www.ocregister.com/2020/10/03/disneyland-tests-new-contactless-metal-detectors-to-speed-visitors-through-security-checkpoints/ Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Parks, visited Downtown Disney this week to apologize to cast members for the layoffs that the company just announced last week. He listened to cast members and let them vent, cry, and just express their feelings. His visit comes after the announcement that 28,000 cast members between Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disney Imagineering would be laid off. – https://wdwnt.com/2020/10/josh-damaro-visits-cast-members-to-apologize-at-downtown-disney-district/ LaughingPlace posted the breakdown this week of the number of cast members being laid off. Of the total 28,000, 5,000 would come from the Disneyland Resort, 400 from Imagineering, and the rest from Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, and Disney Vacation Planning. 2,765 non-union Cast Members, salaried, and executives are reportedly being laid off in California. Nearly 1,000 Cast Members from Unite Here Local 11 are expected to be let go out of 3,000, most of them working in hotels. – https://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2020/09/30/walt-disney-imagineering-to-be-impacted-by-layoffs-as-more-details-emerge-about-disneyland-numbers/ With the cast member layoffs, some of you might want to help lessen the blow for them and their families.
