During a conversation with the 'J.P. Morgan Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference' this afternoon, Disney CEO Bob Chapek spoke about increasing capacity and a return to normal operations at the Walt Disney World theme parks.
Bob said that we can expect to see "low double digit increases" in attendance over the next coupe of months, and that we should see the full benefits of the relaxation of guidelines closer to the end of Q4, around September. He went on to talk about how despite restrictions being eased for guests, the parks are still bound by OSHA guidelines that adds great complexity to the process of scaling back restrictions as a whole at the parks.
Chapek also talked about how the pandemic shutdown gave the company the opportunity to reconsider legacy processes and offerings, including ticket pricing and annual pass sales. We have already seen the suspension of the program at Disneyland Resort, and new sales halted at Walt Disney World.
