I always wake up wondering about utilities

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.

Would have been neat to see the parks without the crowds. Being in facilities maintenance, it’s this kinda stuff I find interesting

Mmmm... all the behind the scenes stuff that even most of the hardcore guests don't care about. This is what I live for

0:32 At this point, it's amazing that "dive into the exciting world of utility reports" is NOT the official tagline for Midway to Main Street. Never change, Rob.

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

Jeez those garbage figures are crazy! I know theres a lot of people but that makes it hugely in Disney's interest to cut down on disposables wherever possible.

Your b-roll of the parks is always so pretty, makes me wish it was safe to be there right now. Great video!

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.

Only Rob could make utility reports fun and entertaining💛😺👏

Some people might think of this as a dry subject, but the visual gag of ' water at Disney World also dropped' at 3:20 proves that not to be the case. Thanks Rob :-)

I found your channel through Michael Kay and am so glad I did! You truly must spend tons of time to make these videos and it shows! Always happy to get a notification from you Rob 😊 xo

I see you there at 3:20 with the "Water at Disney World also dropped" and footage of Splash Mountain. Your puns don't go unappreciated ;)

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.

I love your video topics. Instead of retreading old disney ground again and again, you answer questions before I even thought to have them.

Once again, things I never knew I cared about, but now I’m interested.

This channel is just wonderful!

I love it when you dive into the utility reports :D

Don’t forget that the largest contributor to landfills is construction waste so Disney had a lot more waste than the day to day stuff- even during 2020.

I think a lot of that is probably contracted through the construction companies and may not necessarily be included in these stats.

@@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.

Always love your vids, Rob! Thanks for sharing!

Always a fan of your videos Rob. So interesting!

I always enjoy checking out these Disney utility stats!

You read my mind Rob. I was totally thinking about Disney World's utilities 😂. I loved this video!

I love everything you post. Keep feeding us awesome content!!!!! :)

Great and fascinating video, Rob!

Wow! This info was insane. And very interesting. I love this stuff. Love the content. Keep up the good work!

Love your videos!

I am always amazed by your incredible knowledge of numbers.

Watching the full ads cuz it’s rob! 👏🏽

I DID wake up and go WOO at a new video!

UTILITY REPORTS!!!!!!

Hi Rob, I have a video idea for you. How many parking spots are on Disney World property? How many cars park per day? What do you think the income is per day?

I’m surprised it was still so high

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.

"I'm sure you all woke up this morning hoping to dive into the exciting world of utility reports" He knows us so well 😂

That clip of that couple waking up has me laughing so hard

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.

I wonder if a dollar amount be attributed to the net difference in these expenses vs a normal year?

What park is the footage from 0:48 from? It looks like the Disney World Main Street, but I can’t ever remember seeing the Omnibus, and I’ve been going to Disney World for years

That's the Magic Kingdom. This shot I took is from a few years back. If I recall correctly, they operate the Main Street vehicles during the first couple of hours in the morning before the park is too crowded.

I think this has been one of the shortest videos yet!

Very interesting

What was using all the energy during the shutdown? Does everything continue operating except the rides?

Thanks.

Still surprising that utilities dropped to half. Would've thought it was even more.

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.

I'm surprised Water and Energy remained so high :o

WOO!

This feels like a weird comment to make in a video that's largely about a pandemic, but. I love these utility videos so much. 😂 I actually AM that guy at 0:34.

If the parks were closed how did they have any garbage at all ?

Do Disneyland

Its an interesting fact, i just imagined it would be even lower for some reason.

I would have expected a bigger drop in electric with all the rides and such shut down

Oh no…

How many JIgawatts is that?

I knew the pandemic was serious when I heard the parks closed.

Gotta keep that power and water coming and trash and sewage going. Do they use any natural gas, or are things all electric?

It looks like Disney wastes utilities. They really should have used way less power and water during those few months.

It's only less garbage, or utilities at the theme parks. People are just at home flushing toilets or throwing trash away there instead of at a theme park.
