I work engineering services at Disney world and worked the entire shutdown. It was strange to say the least. We had more than our fair share of work to do, even without guests.

You should see the cell phone utilization numbers from before and after the shutdown. The DAS (distributed antenna system) AT&T and others have going from (large number from Smartcities, the defacto in house Disney ISP) of data to sometimes zero packets or calls passed in a 24 hour period

@@OldSkoolRewindOfficial And don't confuse security theater with immunity. I know Disney has done all they can prevention wise, and that's good to see given how the government has prematurely rolled back their mandate for a lot of these health measures. But there's only so much they can do against a highly contagious airborne disease. And I don't care about survival rates when millions have died and many who survive will be left with life long health problems from the fight. Case numbers are still far too high. The churros just aren't worth the risk.

@@craigjensen6853 one of the cost control options large facilities use for construction contracts is supplying waste disposal and materials recycling as part of the contracts for construction, particularly where the facility is enclosed like a theme park and getting dumpsters near the construction is difficult or where theming is a particular issue. Of course, shutdowns make this easier, simply grabbing the unused capacity, but it can add a lot of stress to a system in full operation and near capacity already.

I'm surprised there still was that much power usage when they were shut down. While some level of minimum power is obviously used, you'd think 0 rides going, 0 air conditining going in the queues, not to mention all the resorts A/C, lights, etc, to only drop about 25% less power seems kind of crazy.

A lot of the rides (especially the older ones) aren't designed to be shutdown. if they have water features, you have to keep the pumps running to keep the water clean and you cant just shutdown the AC in buildings due to the humidity.

It’s probably less risky to leave an attraction running in place in auto dispatch mode or something if it can be left unattended. Then do normal maintenance and on and off cycle. This compared to trying to figure out how to put everything into semi permanent hibernation for who knows how long and risk things breaking when you know it works fine as it is operating every day for years. I love the idea of a totally vacant Disney with the rides all running entirely empty. I should see if there’s footage.

It's interesting with the water. I saw in another video that Disney has no sitting water, so it was all probably still flowing. Maybe some were on slower, less flashy modes, but I'd imagine seeing no beverages was a big part of it as well.

If you stop hearing and cooling, it probably could have. But you don't do that unless you want much bigger issues later when you reopen. Some major refurbs may have been needed including to remove mold & mildew everywhere. I can imagine a few cases hotels being almost unusable. And imagine the infestations of rats, bugs, snakes et al without measures to prevent them. Some equipment could require "stirring" so they don't freeze up.
