Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The DIS Unplugged hosts discuss several significant updates regarding Disney theme parks and cruise lines during the summer of 2020. A primary focus of the discussion involves the permanent closure of several attractions, including Primeval Whirl, Rivers of Light, and Stitch's Great Escape. The team debates whether these closures are temporary safety measures due to social distancing or strategic business decisions intended to reduce operating costs and scale back park size. They suggest that Disney may be preparing for further cutbacks or price increases to recoup financial losses. The conversation also covers tightened mask mandates within the parks, specifically the new rule prohibiting eating or drinking while walking. Regarding Disney Cruise Line, the hosts address the CDC ban on cruises departing from US ports and the restrictions placed on travel to the Bahamas. They speculate that future sailings may require proof of vaccination. Finally, the show touches on the career move of former Disneyland president Michael Colglazier, who is transitioning to a role as CEO of Virgin Galactic.

Creator's Key Takeaways
Disney has tightened its mandate on masks in the parks.
Disney's permanently closing some attractions and that is just the beginning.
Until a vaccine is found, there are not going to be any Disney Cruise Line sailings.
I think we are going to see more and it's not going to have to do with safety. It's going to have to do with scaling back the size of the parks.
