Disney Cast Members Reportedly Reprimanded Or Terminated For Viral Photo of Overcrowding at Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

With the reopening of Walt Disney World on July 11th and recently a preview for Cast Members in the midst of an increase in COVID-19 case across Florida, all eyes have been on the coverage of theme parks that have opened and are opening. Media outlets are covering everything to do with aspect of what is going on in these unprecedented times.

Recently Cast Members were allowed to reserve a date for Cast Members previews earlier this week. A handful of Cast Members during the Cast Member previews were caught overcrowding the entrance to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in a now viral reposted photo:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’ve been informed by some Cast Members that the employees in this photo have since been identified and either reprimanded or terminated by management. Cast Members are expected to “lead by example”, and many guests have expressed having fears about the reopenings of the Disney Parks.

However, we had staff in the park that very day that this supposed viral photo was taken, and saw no such crowding anywhere in the park throughout the duration of the preview. On a good note, Disney has done very in preparations for their park openings by making sure there is plenty of hand sanitizer stations, hand washing stations, Cast Members Spraying down attraction vehicles, etc. There is even a hand sanitizer dispenser at the entrance to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

So far, our observations on the reopening so far have been fairly positive, with mask enforcement through the park and everyone doing their best in observing physical distancing rules. All attractions at the Magic Kingdom, expect for Splash Mountain was practically a walk on, with walkways virtually empty given the limited capacity for previews.

Now, whether theme parks should reopen is a very divisive topic right now, especially given the rising COVID-19 cases across Florida, which has resulted in an extension of the current State of Emergency. Tomorrow, the Magic Kingdom will reopen to the general public for the first time in months. Cast Members will be there, face shields and all, to welcome them back, so please be kind to them.
